4 Sexy Movie Scenes
These are four movie scenes that awakened my senssssssual, sexual senses and looking at them now I can see how relevant they are to my relationship to sex, love and lust. 3/4 of the videos are age restricted and can only be watched on youtube, click on each picture to be taken to its video.
THE FOLLOWING CONTAINS SPOILERS.
1. The Rocky Horror Picture Show - Creature Of The Night (Touch-A Touch-A Touch Me)
Being children of the 90’s, my cousins and I grew up without much parental supervision on the weekends. As a child, Demi Moore’s Striptease, was one of my favourite movies (still is TBH) and I had watched Pulp Fiction and Wild Things before I was 10 so Rocky Horror was a light rom-com to me. A light rom-com that made me feel…. Tingggglly.
The juxtaposition of the completely raw and sexual Dr Frank-N-Furter, with the over the top innocence and naivety of Brad and Janet. What seems like musical about two people being corrupted by Sweet Transvestite aliens, is really a musical about two people being encouraged to tap into their true primal nature by Sweet Transvestite aliens. This whole movie is a sexual awakening for everyone involved but I picked this scene in particular because Janet singing Creature of the Night, giddy, giggly, nervous, grabbing Rocky’s hands and pulling them to her breasts is perfection and I’d be a big fat stinking liar if I said I didn’t always picture myself looking like Janet during sex. OMG, I am realising things, maybe the reason I don’t go on top is not because I am lazy, but because I don’t want to look like Rocky.
Lil bonus for ya from Rocky Horror, my myspace page had the lyrics to Rose Tint My World on it…
Give yourself over to absolute pleasure,
swim the warm waters of the sins of the flesh,
erotic nightmares beyond any measure,
and sensual daydreams to treasure forever
…I was 14 and still practicing kissing on my hand.
2. The Girl Next Door - Limo Scene
The girl next door, a romantic comedy about a high school senior who falls in love for the first time with the girl next door (see what they did there?), but finds the situation becoming complicated after he learns that she is a former pornographic actress. Let’s talk about the limo scene. After a montage of the students and their new porn actress friends successfully pull off a stunt at their prom, the main characters have sex in the back of the limo. With slowed footage, close ups of impassioned kissing set to David Grey’s This Years Love, I almost always forgot this intimate love scene, that made me desperate to lose my virginity, was happening in the back of a car with a driver who was 100% watching. Watching this scene again as an adult, I wonder what it must be like for penis owners to lose their virginities and also kinda makes me want car sex because, how good is car sex?! I don’t even care if there is a driver watching. You can skip the slow-mo laughing, popping champagne bottle montage and get straight to the sex by skimming to 1:00.
3. 8 mile – Factory Scene
How can you talk about angsty adolescents and sexual awakenings in the naughties without talking about 8 mile?! I am not going to break the scene down like I did with the other three as if this listicle is a year 12 film and tv class assignment. It’s a fkn hot scene and is 100% responsible for any kinks I may or may not have for public sex. Skip them yamming on (I did) to 1:00 for the sex.
4. Strictly Ballroom – The Inconceivable Sight (Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps)
I saved the best till last! If you’re thinking, what could affect your views of hot sex more than b rabbit fuggin in a factory? Well, I’ll tell you friends. A dance scene. Strictly Ballroom is one of my top 5 favourite movies of ALL TIME (!!!) and I had to put it last because I know that I will now spend 3 hours on youtube watching clips until I decide to actually just put the movie on…
Strictly Ballroom is a romantic comedy is about the dreams of youth and ultimate fulfilment. It tells a story of love and conflict of two young people fighting for artistic freedom against a repressive regime. Baz Luhrmann is my favourite director, and this piece of cinematic magic was his directorial debut. This flick has no sex (apart from a weird couple of seconds of Barry Fife and Charm) but ‘The Inconceivable Sight’ scene, a dance scene, to me, is so intimate it literally makes my stomach flutter. To give some context, Scott is bailing on Fran, a beginner, for Tina Sparkle, a champion, because it’s his dream to win the Pan Pacific Grand Prix. Fran is a fucking angel but after making a comment to Scott suggesting she will never be good enough, Scott, watching Fran watch Tina, takes her hand and they begin to dance. I AM DEAD. To be with that person who makes the world around you disappear?! Omg stop. To skip to the dance, jump to 1:02, but to hear some incredible 1992 Australian accents, which I swear were stronger back then, watch from the beginning.
Seriously, every time I would see the Kings Cross Coca-Cola sign, a big nostalgic smile would spread across my face. And I bet ‘big coca’ just fucking love that.
Bonus round
Casper made my heart hurt.
It is no secret that I want to fuck a ghost. Like, seriously, who wouldn’t? But my spectrophilia didn’t come from Casper. Casper gave me my first glimpse of romanticised unhealthy obsession that I would very soon came to crave. “Can I keep you?”. Yes, I am yours.
Casper taught me to love, but the spectrophilia came from, rather upsettingly, Scary Movie 2…. I know… I don’t want to talk about it.
Lastly, shout out to Cary Elwes as Robin Hood and The Man In Black, and Disney for drawing sexy lions and that fuckin’ fox Robin Hood. Don’t @ me, you know at least one Disney character that made you feel funny in the groin.
