Lot's of great answers over on SexIs but what about y'all? What's your favorite sex scene in a mainstream flick? (And if anyone mentions "The Bodyguard" I'm going to stab my eye out with a pencil)

I admit that I like the scene in Top Gun as well as pretty much everything in Eyes Wide Shut even though it's not all-out sex.

True story. The Bodyguard definitely turned me on when I was a pre-teen and just figuring out what arousal meant.

Now I'm like OH GOD MY BLEEDING BRAIN.

I love the Top Gun scene, too. I've never been able to explain why cuz I don't much like TC but that scene gets me primed for good, long sexin'.

I know! Exactly the same here.

Of course, now I have to poke both my eyes with pencils...

If it counts- the masturbation scene in American Pie. I couldn't tell you how many times I masturbated along with Nadia.

Also The Piano and Boys Don't Cry had some particularly steamy moments... and some extremely violent moments as well.

I think it is the music. I do, I do. It suits the scene perfectly.

The airplane bathroom sex scene in "Choke". Two complete strangers having sex in a tiny bathroom while flying. I love the expression of pure bliss on the woman's face... it's acting, but it's * good * acting, and it gets me going every time, even though I'd never have sex in an airplane bathroom!

The Bodyguard.

Just kidding . I've never seen it.

I'd go with the scene with Susan Sarandon, & Katherine Denouve (sp?) in The Hunger (the one with David Bowie).

What about resident evil. One of course.

I love the sensuality of the sex scenes in Fire. It's about two women who fall in love and make choices to better their lives, despite the confines of traditional living. It's an absolutely amazing movie that I pimp out to everybody, but the surprisingly hot, heart-felt sex scenes are the icing on the cake.

Parts of Fatal Attraction were hot in a crazy, fucked up sort of way.

The "sex scenes" in Bent were so heartbreaking. Two homosexual men in a labor camp during the Holocaust fall in love and obviously can't even look at each other, let alone touch, but they have verbal sex that is surprisingly hot and not at all cheesy. Clive Owen in this movie? Awesome.

As awful as it sounds, the part in Schindler's List where Schindler is really going at it with a girlfriend right before he's informed that Stern has been taken on a train is...well, it's my favorite movie, so that absolves me of any mental hard-on I got from that scene, I think.

The lesbian love scene in But I'm A Cheerleader! is GORGEOUS. No nudity or explicit content, but it still gets the point across, and it's oh so beautiful.

The second tent scene in Brokeback Mountain. All of that hesitation, gentle guidance, and tenderness. GUH. We miss you, Heath Ledger. =(

I had no idea that Bent had been made into a movie. I found the script in the university library years ago and I absolutely loved it and wished I could see it on stage. Do they scratch their eyebrows in the movie too?

And totally agree with the scene from But I'm A Cheerleader! Great movie overall.

I have a bit of a soft spot for the sex scenes in Wild Orchid.

The Postman Always Rings Twice.

Jack Nicholson. Hand in panties. Hands around throat. Hot kitchen sex.

Better than porn.

the elevator scene in Fatal attraction is one of the top ones that come to my mind.

Unfaithful with Diane Lane...the scenes in the bathroom and her lover's apartment.

Oh, and I can't forget mickey rourke and Kim bassinger in 9-1/2 weeks!

Oh there are so many, and they range from tender to hotter than the hottest flame...

But, the scene with Annette and Sebastian in Cruel Intentions is one of my favorites. Maybe it's because they were actually a couple at the time in real life. All of that sweat on her skin and the way he looks at her...give me chills.
