13 Steamy Movies & Shows On Netflix That’ll Get You Hot & Bothered

So, it's just your regular night in after a long week. You've popped that popcorn, baked that frozen pizza, and guzzled a few glasses of wine. You start looking for something to watch and come across a title that seems innocent enough, only to find out about 30 minutes in that it's more than your average rom-com. It's literally porn on Netflix. You're seeing full-frontal nude, hardcore grinding, and glimpses of body parts you'd only see on PornHub.
Netflix has been getting its BET Uncut on lately, sliding in mature content for the unsuspecting—and the soft porn enthusiasts. If you're into that or just curious (wink), here are 13 movies that fit the bill:
365 Days
365 Days is an English-language film based on a series of erotic books by Polish writer Blanka Lipinska. It centers around a woman on vacation who is kept captive by a Mafia boss who is obsessed with making her fall in love with him. It's technically a kidnapping-turned-romance saga, and the sex scenes hold almost nothing back.

Love
When a couple has a threesome with their neighbor, they're not prepared for the super-sexy aftermath of it all. You'll see lots of nudity (well, just enough for the NC-17 rating), and enough saucy romps to have you wondering if maybe you should take a second look at the guy or girl next door.
Lust/Caution
Set in Shanghai during World War II, Lust/Caution is a steamy movie that follows the adventures of a woman who has to navigate an espionage conspiracy and the lusts of her beau. It's old-school and has subtitles, and the bedroom scenes get rough and raunchy.

She's Gotta Have It
Nola Darling is a sex-positive artist who gets it on with some of the sexiest black men in her "loving bed". She also has an affair with an old friend and single mom, Opal, and has sex on her own terms in all the positions.
Sex Education
Otis is a socially awkward student who has a sex therapist mom, and this show follows his escapades in learning more about himself, love, and of course, sex. He starts a sex advice business and the exploits get tricky, salacious, and oh-so-naughty.

Lang Tong
If you're into erotic thrillers, this Singaporean film does not disappoint. You've got a serial womanizer who sets his sights---and lovemaking wiles--- on the younger sister of his lover. It gets even more complicated---and gruesome---when the two women team up.
A Perfect Ending
A repressed wife and a high-end call girl—you do the math on this one. Middle-aged Rebecca explores her sexuality and lets loose in a sensual, slow-burning film about secrets and affairs.

Elisa & Marcela
This one is set in early 1900s Spain and tells the story of two women who engage in "illegal" rendezvous under the nose of their village neighbors. The film is in black and white, which adds a special allure, and it's based on a true story of same-sex lovers who tricked a priest into marrying them.
Tiger
OK, so technically Tiger isn't full porn all the way through, but if you can remember that scene in Belly where DMX's character Tommy goes in on Keisha, you'll get those same feels when you see this boxer with the love of his life in a some pretty passionate scenes.

The Naked Director
This is a semi-biographical film that tells the story of the rise, fall, and comeback of Japanese adult video director Toru Muranishi. It's based on a nonfiction book about his life and how he built an underground empire during a time when porn was culturally taboo in Asia. And yes, there's some intense laying of the pipe in this one.
Newness
Newness is what happens when two people get bored with hooking up with people from dating apps and decide to give monogamy a try. As a couple, they stumble upon a new problem: Boredom sets in, and their solution circles back to hooking up with strangers—again.

Troy: Fall of the City
A British-American miniseries, Troy: Fall of the City depicts the 10-year Trojan War and is set in the 13th century B.C. Watching this will remind you that when it comes to sex, there's practically nothing new under the sun, and modern-day folk might have nothing on the freakilicious habits of these Greek mythical creatures.
Easy
This series doesn't include your typical fantasy love scenes. It's really more about everyday sex, but it's sex nonetheless. And why not enjoy watching everyday people with everyday bodies having everyday smash sessions?

Laterras R. Whitfield On What He Wants In A 'Future Wifey' & Redefining Masculinity
In this week's episode of the xoMAN podcast, host Kiara Walker chopped it up with Laterras R. Whitfield, host of the Dear Future Wifey podcast, for a raw and revealing conversation about personal growth, faith, and the search for love in a way that resonates.
Laterras Whitfield Believes Men Should Pursue, Not Persuade
“Let me know you exist, and I’ll do the rest”
Whitfield is a big advocate of a man’s role in going confidently for the woman he wants. “Men should pursue, not persuade, and women should present, not pursue,” he said. He’s open to meeting women on social media but isn’t a fan of bold approaches. “Don’t shoot your shot at me. … Let me know you exist, and I’ll do the rest.”
His ideal woman?
“She has to be a woman of God… I judge a woman by how her friends see her… and most importantly, how she treats my kids.”
Infidelity, Redemption, and the Power of Self-Control
“Being disciplined is the most beautiful thing you can offer”
Once unfaithful in his previous marriage, Whitfield has since transformed his perspective on masculinity. “Being disciplined is the most beautiful thing you can offer. That’s what true masculinity is to me now.” He has also committed to abstinence, choosing self-control as a defining trait of manhood.
Whitfield’s journey is one of redemption, purpose, and faith—something that speaks to women who value emotional intelligence, accountability, and the power of transformation.
Rewriting the Narrative Around Black Masculinity
What masculinity, legacy, and healing mean to Whitfield today
“My dad taught me what not to be [as a man] and my mom taught me what she needed [in a man],” Whitfield said. While his father wasn’t abusive, he wasn’t emotionally or affectionately present. “Since I didn’t see it, I never got it either… I would look at my dad and say, ‘I want to be a better father.’ ”
Adoption had always been on his spirit, influenced by TV shows like Different Strokes and Punky Brewster. This mindset led him to take in his nephew as his son after a powerful dream confirmed what he already felt in his heart.

Traveling This Summer? These 10 Layover Hacks Will Get You Through.
With the current administration that we have, I’m sure it comes as no surprise that summer travel is in a bit of a slump this year. Still, that doesn’t mean that many folks aren’t going on some kind of trip that requires air travel, and, in order to keep a few extra bucks in their pocket, they are avoiding direct flights. Instead, they are booking ones that require some sort of a layover.
Layover. Although it isn’t exactly “music to our ears” whenever we hear the word, it doesn’t have to be a tremendous burden if you know some tricks of the trade that will make a layover more bearable. Luckily, I’ve got 10 that could actually make this your best year for summer travel yet, y’all!
10 Layover Travel Tips You’ll Be Glad You Know
1. Research Best Layover Airports (Yes, There Is Such a Thing)
If while planning your trip, if it looks like a layover is going to be more than 90 minutes, it never hurts to research the airports that are the most user-friendly as far as layovers are concerned. From what I can see, several studies reveal that George Bush Intercontinental Airport (Houston, Texas) gets a lot of props, thanks to the food options and the amount of frequent flyer miles that you can stack up.
Some other airports that top the list include Detroit Metropolitan Airport, Seattle–Tacoma International Airport and Denver International Airport. If you want to save money on your travel by having a layover, purposely landing in these cities can make the wait much more pleasurable for you.
2. Download Your Airline’s App
Whatever airline you plan on flying on, make sure to download its app before heading to the airport. There are many reasons why this is a solid hack including the fact that:
1) you can check-in and get a mobile boarding pass; 2) you can get real-time travel updates; 3) you can utilize the entertainment options that they have (including the airline’s Wi-Fi); 4) you can see how to best navigate through various airports; 5) you can easily contact their customer service support; 6) you can oftentimes track your checked baggage, and 7) some apps (like Delta) can even help you to store where you parked your car (if you put it in long-term parking) in your smartphone, so that you can easily find it upon your return.
3. Also Download Your Entertainment Beforehand
If you happen to be on a flight that either doesn’t have Wi-Fi or charges for it, you can still enjoy your movies ‘n stuff by downloading them before you leave. This can also come in handy at the airport when their internet access is running hella slow because so many people are accessing it.
4. Choose a (Layover) City Where You Have a Friend
Although I don’t hate to fly, I wouldn’t exactly say that it’s my favorite thing to do. And so, back when I used to fly to South Africa to see some family, it was common for me to stop over in London for a couple of days because it’s the halfway mark for me — and seven hours on a plane is a lot easier to endure than a whopping 14.
That said, if you’re planning on an international trip, you’re not the biggest fan of flying yourself or, again, you want to save a few coins by booking a flight that has a layover or two — why not use this as an opportunity to hang out with a family member or friend in another city? That way, you can get a break from air travel and get in some quality time with them as well.
5. Pack Some of Your Own Snacks
If you’ve ever wondered why airport food is so damn expensive, one of the main reasons is how much it costs for each restaurant to rent their space is completely insane. Plus, there are things like vendors, commission costs and all kinds of other “blah, blahs” that make the mark-ups so crazy. That’s why it can never hurt to bring some snacks along — non-liquid items that you can pack in your carry-on that will get you through your layovers without you breaking the bank in the process.
6. Put an Empty Recyclable Bottle in Your Carry On
Since a lot of airports have water refills stations available, you can stay hydrated while also keeping coins in your pocket by packing an EMPTY recyclable bottle in your carry-on too. Most TSAs will totally allow it. As far as refills on actual drinks, some airports allow those as well (after you purchase one drink from them, of course); never assume, though. Ask before making the purchase.
7. Have a Portable Charger in Tow
Maybe it’s just me but, even though airports seem to be filled with charging stations all over the place, it’s like only half of them actually work (and I’m being gracious on that!). That’s why it’s also a good idea to invest in a portable charger. I don’t know what took me so freakin’ long to get myself one; however, it’s basically my BFF at this point.
The one that I will cosign on is the ANKER Zolo Power Bank, 20,000mAh 30W Max Fast Portable Charger. It charges pretty fast and I’ve been able to get about three full charges on my smartphone before needing to charge the portable one all over again. Such a lifesaver!
8. Get Some Lounge Access
If almost everything about airports gets on your very last nerve, you definitely need to get some airport lounge access. It’s quiet(er); you have lots of room to stretch out; the food and drink that they have to offer is typically free; many lounges have spaces that are designed and designated for children; there are convenient work stations, and some even feature spas and showers (I know, right?).
And just how do you get your hands on all of this? You can do so by flying first or business class, using your frequent flyer miles, presenting your military ID or purchasing a membership or even a day pass access into your airline’s lounge.
9. Cop Some Duty-Free Samples
If you are going on an international flight, make sure to take advantage of the duty-free shops, not just because you are usually able to purchase items from there without paying local taxes but they oftentimes have free samples that you can stock up on as well; this is especially the case when it comes to beauty-related items.
10. Stay over a Night
Since a fair share of my friends are in the entertainment world, they tend to travel a lot. What is always funny to me is how most of them talk about flying to almost every city in the country while only actually visiting a handful of them. My point here? If you are headed one place and you decide to not have a direct flight, if the city where you are having your layover is one that you’ve always been interested in, stay over a night or even two.

BONUS: Get an Exit Row Seat
If one of the things that you hate about changing planes is how uncomfortable the flights can be, space wise, ask to be put in an exit row seat. You will automatically have so much more room without having to pay what first class passengers do. Brilliant. Happy (and safe) travels!
