Performer Roundup: Favorite Mainstream Sex Scene

We didn’t start out with watching porn. Most of us got our start understanding our sexuality and our preferences by watching mainstream TV and movies. We developed crushes before we knew what a crush was. When we started noticing people in a romantic/sexual way, movies and television shaped and colored what we looked for and what we were interested in. Now as adults, it is still a thrill to see a good sex scene or nudity in our mainstream viewing. It’s a little bonus for something we tend to watch for other reasons.

There’s just something about a good sex scene in a mainstream movie or show. It’s not just that the actors are beautiful; we have that in porn. It’s almost that the better a scene is, or more realistic (or over-the-top) a scene is, the more taboo it is that it’s there. Even in shows or movies built on the backs of sexuality or titillation, we still get an extra charge out of a sex scene. So we went to some of our favorite adult performers to find out what sex scenes in mainstream media they cherish. It should come as no surprise, given how few good ones there are out there, that we see the same answers coming up time and again. On the cusp of understanding some of the more interesting adult feelings and urges, sex in a movie or show can be painted in exceptionally vibrant colors. So let’s take a look at the favorite sex scenes in mainstream media from some of our favorite performers in adult!

Harmony Wonder

If I Stay was beautiful! They played each other like instruments before getting into it. So sensual…

Charlotte Stokely

My favorite mainstream sex scene would have to be with Michael Jai White in Black Dynamite by Sony Pictures. I mean, who wouldn’t wanna have sex with the man who played Spawn?! I was in total awe; his in-person presence just fills the room… and maybe fills some other things? 😉

Michael Vegas

I am not sure if it was just that it was a time in my life where I didn’t have access to much pornography or that I really hold this scene above all. The softcore scene in Desperado between Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek. It really has stuck in my head for many, many years. I am not actually even sure I can name another one…

Rebecca Love

The TV show Outlander. I love the dark-but-sexy scene with Randall and Jamie in the depths of the dungeon set in the 1700s. Yes it wasn’t consensual, but beautiful in a bizarre way. I’m so bad… lol

Tarantino XXX

With honorable mentions from me going to Pam Anderson’s hot sex scene from Snapdragon, or Julianne Moore/Mark Wahlberg from Boogie Nights, or every Skinemax softcore movie featuring Shannon Tweed. My favorite mainstream sex scene (and the one I jerked off to the most as teenager) was Madonna/Willem Dafoe from the 1993 classic Body Of Evidence. It’s a hot scene in a hot movie. Dafoe plays a lawyer defending golddigger Madonna, who’s accused of murder with her rich hubby, and she seduces and sleeps with Dafoe (of course we didn’t see that coming). It was the part of Madonna’s career where she became “slutty Madonna” and I was eating it all up… and I miss that Madonna.

Jay Taylor

There’s a lot I’ve really enjoyed! All the werewolf sex on True Blood, and Frank Underwood going down on Zoe in House of Cards. Anne Hathaway gave the most realistic female orgasm I’ve ever seen in Love and Other Drugs. J. Law and Chris Pratt fucking on a table in Passengers. The last one is tainted though, because she was drunk… because sex scenes are just “so difficult.”

Katy Jayne

I loved the HBO series True Blood and pretty much every sex scene they portrayed! One of my favorites was when Bill climbed out of his grave and into a mourning Sookie’s arms… and they quickly start having animalistic, passionate reunion sex!

Kingsley

All the sex scenes on True Blood. But especially the one where Eric and Talbot fuck and it ends with Eric staking Talbot. I love bloody gore sex!

Sonia Harcourt

Ooooh good one! Kind of a toss up: I love the absurdity of the Showgirls pool sex, but for reality I’ve gotta go with True Blood. I had a fuck buddy who would come over every Sunday to watch the newest episode, and then we’d try whatever position was on the show that night.

Nathan Bronson

The first one that comes to my head is Mr. & Mrs. Smith sex scene after they killed everyone in that house and bang each other. Super hot watching them beat the shit out of each other and then passionately fuck.

Billy King

The fight scene in Mr. & Mrs. Smith where they try and kill each other and destroy the house.

Sara St. Clair

The [word that rhymes with “ape”] scene in Last House on the Left. I like the fear and domination.

[Sara means the 2009 remake.]

Kimber Haven

That’s easy. The sex scene from Shoot ‘em Up where he is having a shoot-out scene at the same time as he is fucking the chick, and he just carries her around as he shoots the bad guy, and never stops fucking. It’s an amazing scene. Something I would have written.

Khloe Kapri

Oh wow, I can’t even answer that! I don’t watch movies or TV. Honestly the only one I can even remember is the sex scene from Juno.

Charlotte Sartre

This is not for the faint-of-heart but I really get off to the tunnel scene in Irreversible where the villain forces himself upon Monica Bellucci‘s character. That scene is especially unusual because the director just told the actors to do the scene, and didn’t specify how long to make it or what to say. And what resulted was really interesting and fucked up improvised dialogue, and an uncomfortably long depiction of an assault. But it’s fictional so I don’t feel as bad jerking off to it.

Indiana Bones

I’m gonna have to go with a classic on this one. Definitely the threesome sex scene from the movie Wild Things. Denise Richards and Neve Campbell are so hot, and the plot leading up to it just made it seem even more intense. With the champagne being poured over Denise and everything. I still remember it vividly and fondly even though I haven’t seen it in years.

Romi Rain

I love mainstream sex scenes that are either super intense or campy. I’ll never forget the epic pool orgasm scene in Showgirls, or the girl-on-girl pool sex-fight and eventual threeway with champagne in Wild Things. Also, one of the most graphic and intense lesbian sex scenes I’ve ever seen was in the French movie Blue is the Warmest Color. Those are a few of my naughty favorites!

Serene Siren

Hands down my favorite sex scene is a lesbian scene with Neve Campbell and Denise Richards in Wild Things. 🙂 I used to rub myself watching that one. It was the first time I noticed how horny watching two girls together made me. I loved the way their lips looked together and the way their breasts touched. I wanted that kind of affection. I wanted a woman as beautiful as them to swim after me and seduce me to touch and play with each others’ perfect bodies. Still to this day I’ll think of that sometimes, and how the mood was so right and the passion was perfection.

Edyn Blair

The sex scene in Spartacus Season 1, Episode 9. The hottest one I’ve ever seen. They have masks on and Spartacus is painted solid gold. He’s told to “shame all men who follow” by Batiatus (his owner), and the scene shows him being prepared… and has incredible video imagery of the sex. So hot.

Brock Doom

All of my favorite sex scenes in the mainstream are pretty much in the movies 9 Songs (directed by Michael Winterbottom) and Love (directed by Gaspar Noe). Both films are dramas with pretty intense emotional situations going on in serious and very realistic relationships and unique European settings. 9 Songs is one of my favorite films of all time, and has some of the hottest fully explicit sex scenes in a mainstream movie ever. You see everything for real in it, and the two main actors in the film are really performing. The blowjob scene is one of my favorite blowjobs ever committed to a film or video image. More importantly, their emotional delivery is beautiful, and the film is surrounded by amazing music by people like Michael Nyman and Franz Ferdinand. The story and sensual intimacy really reminded me so much of my first girlfriend in college, and to so many fond private memories with various others in the past. All praises should be bestowed upon the incredibly brave and groundbreaking lead actress, Margo Stilley, who is one of my all-time favorite actresses ever (and is absolutely stunning and magical onscreen).

And with Gaspar Noe’s film, Love, it is a tough and very dark emotional rollercoaster of a film… but it is filled throughout with glimpses of really beautifully shot sex. The love-making in the film is equally intense, with the film opening up from the very moment it starts with scene between the two lovers intertwined. The lead actor is finger-fucking the lead actress while she passionately jerks him off until he busts a load that drips down her fist. The movie is on Netflix right now. You should totally watch it. And you should definitely check out 9 Songs wherever you can find it. The DVD and Blu-Ray are pretty rare, but you can probably find them out there. It’s amazing stuff. I love independent films!

Rocky Emerson

The love scene with Jack and Rose from Titanic.

Karen Fisher

The movie Disobedience has a smoking-hot lesbian scene between Rachel McAdams and Rachel Weisz. I watched on a flight to Asia. It was so intense and passionate, and it made me really horny.

Kiki D’Aire

The latest sex scene that I saw on TV that I was both impressed with and horrified by was the scene between Jamie and the Captain on Outlander. First, The guy that plays Jamie Fraser is smoking hot. Second, the scene had such a psychological undertone along with BDSM touches. Sexy as hell, but creepy as fuck.

Kendra Lee Ryan

Probably Showgirls when Elizabeth Berkeley is fucking Kyle MacLachlan in his pool and she’s flailing in the water like a dolphin. I cannot stop laughing every single time. I hope an ambulance was nearby for that shot.

Nina Elle

In American Pie when Jim had sex with the apple pie.

Marica Hase

My favorite sex scene is any lesbian scenes in Orange Is the New Black on Netflix. Lesbian sex is more taboo than boy/girl sex in Japan. So, we normally don’t show on Japanese movies. Even Japanese porn thinks lesbian sex is very taboo. So, only a few Japanese female porn stars are available for lesbian scenes. I think they’re very beautiful and energetic, so I love them.

Riley Reyes

My favorite sex scenes are all in the Netflix original show Sense8, by the Wachowskis. They’re always shot so sensually that they really turn me on, and they include queer people and group sex; it just feels more like real life! The one I like the most was in episode one, when this San Francisco lesbian couple have sex, and you see the rainbow strap-on. I knew from that moment that I would love the entire show.

Violet Starr

My favorite sex scene is at the 1:13:30 mark on Netflix from the movie Oh, Ramona!. They don’t have sex in that scene, but it’s hot. All the sex scenes are amazing in that movie.

Mandy Meadows

Anything on Californication! Dave Duchovny… mmmm. I’d lick his butthole anytime.

Texas Patti

My favorite sex scene in the mainstream was Sharon Stone and Michael Douglas in Basic Instinct.

Dee Severe

Without a doubt Sharon Stone tying Michael Douglas to the bed in the unrated version of Basic Instinct. Best softcore porn with A-list actors EVER!

Jimmy Broadway

Back in the old series NYPD Blue, there was a sex scene involving Sipowitz and Donna that was amazing. You didn’t actually see anything, but the way it was shot with creative use of props, the set, and cameras… even though you didn’t see any actual penetration, you knew exactly what was happening through the whole thing and you really felt the passion between the two characters. It was the final shot of the episode, and it was just shot so well.

Liv Revamped

Easy! The masquerade orgy scene in Eyes Wide Shut. The idea of everyone remaining anonymous and having sex for their own, and viewers’ pleasure is one of my biggest fetishes.

Aiden Ashley

That’s easy: The “Heart Shaped Glasses” music video by Marilyn Manson. He used the bed Dita Von Teese had made for their wedding night in the video. Having sex and raining blood over Evan Rachel Wood. It’s the perfect mix of revenge and hate sex, mixed with glamour and goth.

Luna Rival

From the French movie Ma Mere with Isabelle Huppert. It’s so… awkward. Sex between the mother and her son and a friend (girl). What I like in this movie is how the director shows to the viewer some vices that exist in some of us (even if I don’t want to fuck with my mother, lol). Mainly it’s the intimacy of all the exchanges between the characters that has my attention. It’s not just the sex in the movie, it’s feelings.

And if you want to just watch sex in mainstream, deal with Gaspar Noe’s movies. The movies are very complex and borderline [crazy]. They’re heavy movies; not for everyone.

Isiah Maxwell

My favorite sex scene has to be Taraji P Henson in Baby Boy. From the angles showing her tits, to her saying, “I’ll make tacos” afterwards. The realism in that scene was done perfect.
