Five Fap-Worthy Films On Netflix Streaming

You've probably downgraded your Netflix account to streaming-only by now, and that's a bummer, but we're here to assure you that there are plenty of softcore movies under the Watch Instantly tab. We know free smut is a bad thing, but this is different! This is Netflixxx.

Once you've burned through the obvious films like "Y Tu Mama Tambien" and "Eyes Wide Shut," you'll probably start searching for other popular titles like "Secretary" and all of the "Emmanuelle" movies, discover that they're both DVD-only, and then get pissed at Netflix again. Cut that out! They're totally keeping their servers full of softcore smut, and we're here to get you to the good stuff. Some of these you probably know, some of these you might not, but they all deserve your undivided, lights-down, tissues-at-the-ready attention.

1. Lust, Caution: We've talked about this movie a lot—we've even shown you a clip from it—but it deserves repeating (so sing along if you know the words): Ang Lee took 100 hours to film ten minutes of sex, and that shows in the final product. We're not saying the sex feels scripted and stilted—quite the opposite. It's a sweaty, rough, organic display of furiously fucking flexible bodies, and all of the espionage, emotion, and death permeating the mood make it meaningful. On a personal note, I once watched this movie on an airplane sitting between an elderly couple—everyone was quite surprised by how sexy this film is.

2. Room in Rome: Here's another film we've talked about, shown you clips from, and generally raved about. "Room in Rome" is about two women who spend their last night in Rome together, exploring each other and themselves on a myriad of different emotional, mental, and sexual levels. The trailer alone was hotter than most hardcore pornos we've watched. If you love this movie as much as we do, you should check out the field guide we wrote on one of the two stars, Elena Anaya!

3. Psychopathia Sexualis: Richard von Krafft-Ebing freaked a lot of people out when he published his "Psychopathia Sexualis," but that was 1886 and things were a little different. In 2006, however, filmmakers took that book, read through Krafft-Ebing's examinations of clitoral orgasms, sexual desire, homosexuality, and other topics, and adapted them into a bunch of vignettes. This might be more educational than it is softcore porn, but we think learning is sexy. (Plus, it was originally rated NC-17 before they removed a golden shower scene.)

4. Untold Scandal: This is yet another adaptation of "Les Liaisons dangereuses," the famous French novel that gave us awesome movies like "Dangerous Liasons," "Valmont," and the ultimate symbol of late '90s debauchery, "Cruel Intentions." "Untold Scandal" is unique because it's set in late 18th century Korea, during the Joseon dynasty, but beyond that, it's the same story you know and love. A beautiful noble-woman makes a bet with her cousin: he can have sex with her if he is able to seduce a young woman of great virtue. Long story short: this is old-timey "Cruel Intentions" with beautiful, naked, Korean actors.

5. The Libertine: You can't have a list of softcore movies without mentioning a sexploitation flick, so here's our recommendation! "The Libertine"—the 1969 movie, not the 2004 Johnny Depp one—is an Italian film about a sexy widow who discovers the apartment where her late husband kept all of his kinky, secret desires. She uses the apartment to seduce various men, simultaneously learning more about herself and getting lost in the endless spiral of easily-obtained sensual delights. She settles down with some guy in the end, but it's not about the destination, man!
