27 Sexy Movies and Shows You Can Stream on HBO Max Right Now

1‘Sinners’Courtesy of Warner Bros. PicturesA horror movie about bloodthirsty vampires might not sound super sexy (actually, no it totally does) but in this one, Michael B. Jordan plays twins (hot x2) and Hailee Steinfeld’s character spits in his mouth. So, yeah, you’re gonna wanna give it a chance.2‘Industry’HBOYou may think that a show about the ruthless world of finance wouldn’t be so crazy in the R-rated department, but these IB freaks are just as serious about play as they are about work. To be fair, they have to relieve all that stress somehow.Advertisement - Continue Reading Below3‘Portrait of a Lady on Fire’NEONIn Portrait of a Lady on Fire, a painter named Marianne is hired to secretly draw a portrait of a noblewoman named Héloïse, who refuses to sit for it. The portrait is set to be delivered to her betrothed, but Héloïse doesn’t want to get married, so Marianne must pretend to be a paid companion in order to get close enough to paint her. And trust, she gets close. Fair warning: This one’s a tearjerker.Advertisement - Continue Reading Below4‘Magic Mike’s Last Dance’Warner Bros.While the first two Magic Mike movies are (tragically) no longer on HBO Max, you can still find the latest installment in the series: Magic Mike’s Last Dance, in which Channing Tatum reprises his role as Mike Lane, a night dancer who’s down on his luck. He meets Max (played by Salma Hayek Pinault) who offers him a job in London producing and choreographing a play.5‘Sex and the City’HBO MaxUnless you’ve been living under a rock since the ’90s, it’s safe to say you know about Sex and the City—especially its raunchy R-rated scenes. If you want to take a shot every time you see some nudity, well, good luck.Advertisement - Continue Reading Below6‘And Just Like That...’HBOThe Sex and the City revival (which got renewed for a second season but was ultimately canceled after season 3) finds Carrie, Charlotte, and Miranda juggling life in their 50s, and although not as steamy as the original series, it wouldn’t be Sex and the City without, well, sex in the city.Advertisement - Continue Reading Below7‘Heated Rivalry’Bell MediaThis list wouldn’t be complete without our favorite sports drama (because we OBVIOUSLY watch it for hockey). The series follows hockey stars Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov as their initially on-the-DL-FWB-ship turns into something much, much more.8‘Girls’HBOA group of girlfriends in New York City go through all the trials and tribulations that come with your 20s, including friendships, relationships, careers, and life transitions. And with the announcement of the series’ five-episode revival (!!!!), we’re about to see what they’ve been up to since.Advertisement - Continue Reading Below9‘Looking,’ and ‘Looking: The Movie’HBOBasically the male The L Word, the Looking series follows the lives of a group of gay men in San Francisco. The 2014 series was beloved by its small but mighty fan base during its short two-season run, and in 2016, the creators threw their fans a bone in the form of Looking: The Movie, which many folks feel offered a sense of closure that the series did not. Both the show and the movie are on HBO Max and full of enough sexy all-male interludes to keep you up alllll night.Advertisement - Continue Reading Below10‘Gia’HBOOne of Angelina Jolie’s most classic performances, Gia tells the true story of troubled beauty Gia Carangi, a lesbian from working-class Philly and one of the first ever supermodels. Although the film explores the real-life tragedy that she faced (she was a heroin addict and died from AIDS complications at age 26), it also explores her sexuality and sense of self in a manner that’s super raw, super gay, and super, super hot.11‘The Young Pope’HBOThis show is unpredictable and wild. Jude Law stars as a rebellious new pope who ushers in an era of chaos for the Catholic church. God bless.Advertisement - Continue Reading Below12‘Eyes Wide Shut’Warner BrosThe OG marriage story turned freaky. Bill, played by Tom Cruise and his wife Alice, played by Nicole Kidman, face marriage troubles, and one ends up entangled in an underground world filled with strange desires and secrets. If the lead cast wasn’t enough to convince you, just know that this movie somehow manages to both weird you out AND turn you on all at once.Advertisement - Continue Reading Below13‘There Is No “I” in Threesome’HBOIt’s no shocker that there’s a lot of hot-and-heavy action packed into a documentary (well, sorta) with a title like this one, but here we are. Released in early 2022, this HBO Original follows a newly engaged couple as they navigate opening up their relationship and eventually trying polyamory. They explore sleeping with and dating new people separately and together, and audiences watch as they cope with new feelings of jealousy and insecurity brought on by their shifting dynamic.The hottest part: Basically every make-out. And THE party.14‘Je Tu Il Elle’HBOThis one is for all the Art Hoes out there who want to get dirty in black and white and in French. Chantal Akerman’s 1975 film about a woman mourning the end of a relationship culminates with a legendary WLW scene that lasts more than 10 minutes. Je Tu Il Elle is considered one of the most significant films in the lesbian canon because the intimacy is not at all driven by the male gaze, making it righteous and sexy all at once.Advertisement - Continue Reading Below15‘Desert Hearts’HBOThis 1985 film is still celebrated today for its nearly all-woman cast and its rejection of the male gaze. File this one under: longing lesbian looks, unspoken tension, and lots of real passion. Plus, it’s set against a stunning desert backdrop, which never hurts.Advertisement - Continue Reading Below16‘The Sex Lives of College Girls’HBOAgain, this title kinda says it all. Mindy Kaling’s charming series is jam-packed with hormones and lust and tons of delicious scenes. On top of all that, it’s genuinely hilarious. You might have come for the spice, but you’ll end up staying for the heart.17‘Pillion’A24Pillion is a queer sub-dom love story. Need I say more?Advertisement - Continue Reading Below18‘Insecure’HBO MaxCreated by Issa Rae, Insecure is all about one woman’s life as she navigates her relationships. But with all those relationships obviously comes lots and lots of.... that, and drama.Advertisement - Continue Reading Below19‘Lovecraft Country’HBO MaxThe plot: One woman (Jurnee Smollett) travels across the U.S. in an attempt to find her missing father. But pair Jurnee with a lead like Jonathan Majors and you know there’s going to be some steamy action.20‘Game of Thrones’HBO MaxYeah, so, you can’t not have Game of Thrones in this roundup. Even if it’s not your cup of tea plot-wise, the intimate scenes are top-notch (the consensual ones, of course). There’s probably someone getting it in in every other episode.
