Movies with positive sexual journeys

Are you tired of watching movies that portray sex in a bad light? Us too. That's why we put together this list of movies where characters embrace their sexual beings! Cozy up to someone or make a date with yourself, and be inspired (and maybe aroused). 

Don Jon

A New Jersey guy finds his dream girl, but still fantasizes about the kind of sex he sees in porn. This movie explores the tension between desire and intimacy.

Venus of Delta

Based off Anais Nin’s short stories: a young woman writes erotica in France as World War II breaks out. With orgies and voyeurism, Nin’s intellectual and erotic curiosity shines through in this film.

Oh in Ohio  

A married woman has never had an orgasm until she buys her first vibrator, and it changes everything. By far the lightest, funniest movie on this list, Oh in Ohio isn’t hot and steamy as much as sweet and refreshing.

Shortbus

From the director of Hedwig and the Angry Inch, this classic film features a queer sex therapist who has never had an orgasm (hmm, there’s a theme here). She discovers a new world in an underground salon in New York.  

Secretary

We couldn’t leave this one off the list! A secretary enters into a consensual BDSM relationship with her boss, and it is hot.
