If you think erotic films aren’t meant to be watched with your partner, think again.
Erotic films portray fantasies we may have wanted to experience firsthand, capable of not only overwhelming but also inspiring through tales of sexy, passionate, tormented, wild, free, violent, and extreme love.

Spending an evening at home could be a good opportunity to revitalize relationships and add a bit of spice, reminiscent of the past when even a Disney cartoon couldn’t be watched until the end.
Just watch an erotic film together – it doesn’t have to be explicit to be exciting.

Here are the best erotic films that presuppose a worthy ending.
10 Erotic Films to Watch With Your Partner
Eyes Wide Shut, by Stanley Kubrick
Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman were together during Kubrick’s film, one of the sexiest scenes ever made.
Two years later, they broke up. The doubt that the crisis began on the set of the film has never been confirmed, but never dispelled.
Eyes Wide Shut tells the sexual fantasy: that of a woman towards a stranger and that of her husband, who, upon learning about it, embarks on a nocturnal odyssey in search of pleasure.
Disturbing, hypnotic, and intriguing, it exposes the said/unsaid of a couple: those that ignite a passionate fire, sometimes dangerous and devastating.
Nymphomaniac vol.1 and vol.2, by Lars Von Trier
Lars von Trier (Melancholia, Antichrist) narrates sexuality in two manual-like erotic films.
The protagonist is a young nymphomaniac played in vol. 1 by Stacy Martin and in vol. 2 by Charlotte Gainsbourg grappling with her addiction.
What may seem disturbing in words, the Danish director makes exciting.
Each situation is designed to bring the audience’s hidden desires to the surface, thus questioning what one limits oneself to doing with what one truly wants in one’s sex life.
Titanic, by James Cameron
Titanic is not an erotic film, certainly not, but Rose and Jack are a catastrophic reinterpretation of Romeo and Juliet, a couple that manages to show what true passion is.
Perhaps that’s why, for a long time, fans hoped that Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet would get together: after all, they were so good at making people believe they loved each other that they should have really loved each other.
Not only that: some scenes, like the portrait or car scenes, have rightfully entered into a consolidated erotic imaginary.
Y tu mama también, by Alfonso Cuaròn
The threesome is one of the most common erotic fantasies. Y tu mama también stages an unforgettable one with Diego Luna, Gael Garcia Bernal, and Maribel Verdú.
The protagonists are two seventeen-year-old friends who, during a summer road trip in Mexico, meet an older girl and begin a fiery three-way relationship with her.
The erotic charge of the twenties and the carefree nature of a special moment in life make this film a means to look back at the past and try to bring it back to the present.
Fifty Shades of Grey, by Sam Taylor-Johnson
Fifty Shades of Grey is the sadomasochistic version of the Cinderella fairy tale.
It’s a romantic film, but with pronounced sexual features. If the book was an unstoppable phenomenon, the film starring Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan brought those fantasies to the big screen.
Even the most reluctant rushed to the cinema to watch – and maybe saw less than they wanted – with curious excitement.
Laces, whips, sexy outfits, and erotic fantasies: stop revisiting every scene with your friends and try to (re)watch it as a couple.
Blue Is the Warmest Color, by Abdellatif Kechiche
Sapphic love undoubtedly has the faces of Léa Seydoux and Adele Exarchopoulos.
The French film explores the love story between two young women, delving into the heart of their amorous excitement intimately but also very explicitly.
Some scenes have an indescribable erotic charge in words.
The Notebook, by Nick Cassavetes
The one with Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams is the cheesiest film on the list. This epic love story spans the years and lives of its two protagonists.
There’s the kiss in the rain, sentences spoken with tears, suffering, arguments, sex… in short, it’s a classic of its genre.
Yet, whether it’s them or that the usual clichés still work on the audience, watching it is like getting a full dose of love adrenaline.
9½ Weeks, by Adrian Lyne
Have you ever improvised a striptease to the tune of Joe Cocker’s “You Can Leave Your Hat On”? Not even for a bachelorette party?
9½ Weeks is synonymous with erotic charge, a film that still knows how to make its mark, despite its scandal lasting almost 3 minutes. The sex scenes lasted longer… Having been widely surpassed by more recent works like Nymphomaniac or Fifty Shades of Grey, it is unfortunately not often talked about.
Call Me by Your Name, by Luca Guadagnino
Call Me by Your Name tells the power of first love, the all-encompassing and exhausting love that everyone has or will experience at least once in their life.
In Guadagnino’s film, it’s the young Elio, played by the incredible Timothée Chalamet, who has to face it when he falls in love with Oliver (Armie Hammer), an older man who comes to spend the summer at the family villa.
Call Me by Your Name is a suspended film, like the breath that stops at the first encounter.
It is an erotic film in its purest and most dangerous form. It is intense. And it will never make you look at a peach the same way again.
Secretary, by Steven Shainberg
One of the biggest erotic clichés, that of the secretary, is explored here in its most sadomasochistic-ironic form.
Secretary is Fifty Shades of Grey before the latter. Simply, a film that speaks of domination and submission without too many romantic attachments.
The excellent duo of Maggie Gyllenhaal and James Spader portrays it, demonstrating how they find sexual awareness by exploring the most unthinkable paths.
