Spank Me/It: The Nastiest Sex Scenes Ever

Posted by Brian Fairbanks

 

You ever see a sex scene that turns you on and repulses you at the same time?  

5. Maggie Gyllenhaal in "Secretary." Easily the #1 "Hottest on-screen sex scene" for females on Nerve personals, this would be way sexier for us dudes if Maggie Gyllenhaal was, um, actually hot. Nevertheless, this ends up being nasty in a good way, whereas we're not so sure about the rest of this list...

4. Speaking of Maggie, her whorish manueverings in "Sherrybaby" more than make up for her lack of hotness. The sex scenes in this 2006 indie downer are definitely guilty pleasures, as Jake's sis offers up a quid pro quo blow that turns us on and makes us feel guilty for it at the same time. Here's Gyllenhaal discussing the exhausting process of making the film, as if you care. And because this is what you really want, here are the boobies.

3. "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me"-- remember this one? If you've seen the movie, you already know this refers to Laura Palmer getting nailed in her sleep by a mysterious figure and waking up to find out it's, barf, her Dad.

2. Carrie Fisher in "Return of the Jedi." We realized this when we saw the new posters for Spike's "Star Wars" marathon; Fisher is featured on one of them. It reminded us that seeing her chained to The Blob, i.e. Pizza the Hut, was majorly hot to us from age 8 through 26. Watch a montage here and remember why it gave you a funny feeling you didn't know you could have, way back in 1983.

1. "Tie Me Up Tie Me Down." Even the title of this Almodovar kink classic is erotic. Antonio Banderas, very pre-Melanie, kidnaps the object of his affections and lashes her to the bed. She realizes, partway through her ordeal, that he's Antonio Banderas and that maybe she wanted this after all. Once again, kind of nasty and erotic and repulsive in that "Talk To Her" kind of way (only way less offensive this time), Almodovar has a knack for turning us on and making us question whether we should be getting turned on. (Key line: "The only thing they left alone was my cock.")

Other nominees for nastiest sex scene ever included:

  1. "Storytelling" (heartless, repulsive sex with your professor)
  2. "Requim For A Dream" (2 girls + 1 toy)
  3. "The Piano" (sex with Harvey Keitel in return for Oscar nomination?)
  4. "My Beautiful Laundrette" (only nasty if you're some sort of homophobe who wouldn't normally get turned on by a young Daniel Day Lewis tearing some guy apart just because it's a guy instead of Lena Olin)
  5. Natassja Kinski tied to a bed, having very hot sex, trying to keep her claws from coming out and tearing her boyfriend apart in "Cat People."

What?  WHAT?

OMG you have to be kidding right?  OMG seriously remove your testicles now, they obviously serve no purpose.

(unless you're gay I guess... I mean, that's fine and all, just saying if you're het and you don't think she's hot you so crazy)

I never get it when people think "Secretary" is so sexy.  It's like thinking "Every Breath You Take" is a love song, or "Born in the USA" is patriotic anthem...

What, no mention of "Strange Days"? Any onscreen sex with Juliette Lewis is de facto nasty, and this movie takes all of it way past the point of no return.

Maggie G. kills me... my fave. Not classic gorgeous, but classic smart sexy expression... cute as fuck.

Then again, I still like Susan Sarandon

Dear Brian,

I´m kinda sorry to inform/embarass you by recalling that there has actually been a Kramerlike Who Would you Rather featuring Gyllenhaal vs. Gyllenhaal... and Maggie beat Jake´s fine ass!! (It wasn´t even a too-close-to-call sort of thing: She beat him by far - very far.)

So, now that you know where our scannerites sympathies fall, just go face the wall. Do not come back until you are ready to be Secretary-like submissive to our collective tastes,okay?

Maggie IS the hotness!

Maggie G. is hot. Can't support that. Also, I rather liked the scene in A History of Violence when Bello realizes she's married to a killer and it turned on/repulsed by this admission, but still gives in to some crazy ass sex on the stairs.
