Everyone has a favorite genre: comedy , romance , horror. Those are, of course, the popular ones. Or at least the most popular to talk about. But there's another element that permeates them all, even if we don't like drawing attention to the fact that we're intrigued by it. It's the sexiest films category: movies that evoke the sometimes taboo topics of intimacy and attraction and lust. In some ways, it is beyond the idea of a genre because sex has a way of making its way into all parts of our lives.

The world would be a better place if more movies starred a sexy Nicholas Hoult. Newness , set in Los Angeles, tells the story of two millennials trying to find their way in the app-driven dating world. Love, lust, sex, and modern relationships are all explored in the film Lust Stories from the viewpoint of four Indian women. The romantic drama After follows the life of Tessa Young, a freshman in college. After she meets an alluring man named Hardin, their romantic relationship takes twists and turns she never saw coming.

I'm going to be honest, no shade to those of you who like porn , but for me, browsing on YouPorn or PornHub feels super unsexy. It's just so not the move when I'm trying to find something I want to masturbate to. Personally, I would much rather go back to an extremely hot sex scene I saw on Reign or The Witcher than watch an old man try and make a girl who is young enough to be his granddaughter orgasm via strictly penetration. Sorry for the visual, but I had to make my point.
