The sexiest movies and series to stream
Browse all seriesThey say that chivalry is dead (and good riddance, frankly – we’re all capable of opening our own car doors, thank you very much) and old-fashioned romance might be going the same way. But it’s not all bad news – for all the cynics, singletons and red-blooded humans out there, Showmax lets you stream sexy series and movies online.
Here’s our pick of the R-rated, absolutely NSFW series and movies you’ll find on Showmax – but please remember to hide your kids before you start watching. These are strictly for over-18s only.
Oh, and here’s a tip – make sure you’re watching these series on your own Profile, so they don’t show up when your kids start watching on theirs. Read more about Showmax Profiles here.

Brave New World S1
Based on Aldous Huxley’s classic 1932 novel, Brave New World imagines a utopian society that has achieved peace and stability through the prohibition of monogamy, privacy, money, family, and history itself. Brave New World carries an 18SN age restriction, with The Guardian suggesting that it should have been renamed Brave Nude World and adding, “Not since Game of Thrones have I seen so many nude scenes so happily, lavishly and gratuitously staged for our viewing pleasure.” Watch now »
Little Birds S1
This may be a British period drama, but don’t be fooled. Little Birds is based on the erotic stories written by Anaïs Nin, and is definitely not what your grandma would watch while knitting.

The L Word S1-6
This groundbreaking series about a group of gay women living and loving in LA made waves when it first aired in 2004, and even in 2020 the sex scenes seem taboo – never have we seen this kind of openness around gay sex on screen. But it’s not just about sex – it’s about women making space for themselves in their careers, in their families, and in a cut-throat city where everyone puts their own needs and desires first. The full boxset of the L Word is on Showmax, so you can binge to your heart’s content on all the kinkiness, drama and intrigue that Jenny, Bette, Tina, Dana, Marina and Shane have to offer.

HBO’s The Deuce S1-3
In a show about the rise of the porn industry in New York in the 1970s, it’s no surprise that there’s a lot of explicit sex – between working girls and their Johns; between a former prostitute and her date; between a girl and herself. The thing is, this show isn’t only about sex – it’s about women, about business, about the Mafia, about danger and risk – and half of the episodes are directed by women. So expect the kind of sex scene that is directed for and about women, instead of as a way to present the naked female body for the male gaze. If that sounds too high-brow, imagine this – a woman finishing the job herself after sleeping with an unsatisfactory date, not to be seen as sexy, not to be “seen” at all, but because she’s human, and frustrated, and she knows what she needs.
