Surprised nobody has mentioned Wild Orchid. Or L'Amante (The Lover). Those two are I think the most erotic movies I've watched.

"Body Heat" is on Turner Classic Movies tonight. Now that is one fucking hot movie! The first major motion picture studio to include -- or imply -- an anal sex scene. The entire movie sizzles.
In the 1972 film The Last Tango In Paris, the Paul (Played by Marlon Brando) rapes Jeanne (played by Maria Schneider) using butter as a lubricant.
So no, Body Heat, while sizzling hot, wasn't the first main stream movie with anal sex in it.
While it did receive an X rating here, the film was intended as a main stream film and wasn't treated with the harshest ratings elsewhere.
That's an interesting subtlety (and thanks for providing it). It's an insider's view, and probably the ticket sales would support the difference between the two markets. I'd suggest, though, that most histories of the cinema would regard Last Tango as the more influential movie sexual content wise, because it was earlier (14 years, I see from your post), more controversial, with a leading director at the time, and of course Brando.Hi -- Thank you for your thoughts. Yes, you are right about "Last Tango" and I certainly gave it some thought in my comments. That is why I was very careful in my language and said, "major motion picture studio." "Body Heat" was an Alan Ladd, Jr production for Warner Brothers. A Laurence Kasden's script and his directorial debut coming off of writing "Star Wars" and the first "Indiana Jones." Warners paid for the production of the movie. The funding for the production budget came from Warners
"Last Tango" was an independent foreign production that was picked up for distribution by United Artists Classic. The funding was independent investors. By 1972 United Artists was pretty much a non-studio making money on its library and distribution system. It was revitalized around 1986 by financier Kirk Kerkorian. Coincidentally, my wife was the 3rd hire for the new UA.
Indie vs. major studio. There is a difference in the film world.

Just thought of a few more, after the exchange 'twixst Homedawg and myself earlier.
Night Porter directed by Liliana Cavani, 1974. With Dirk Bogarde and Charlotte Rampling. A concentration camp survivor rekindles her sadomasochistic relationship with her lover, a former SS officer - now working as a night porter at a Vienna hotel.
Wasn't it just, but then... Charlotte Rampling. She and Theresa Russell where probably my "hottest" actresses back in the day. Nowadays, Florence Pugh is a newcomer who has a seething something going on - although she's younger than my daughter, so that's a bit wrong.Oh my yes. "Night Porter." Sizzling. Probably couldn't be made today with all of the abuse and rape.

Not a movie, just a quick little parody commercial, but it inspired the story Sis, is that you, which placed in an April Fools contest

The 1996 film Crash (not to be confused with what I thought was the completely undeserving 2004 Oscar-winning movie of the same name) was about people who got an erotic thrill from being involved in car crashes. They'd stage car crashes. People would be horribly injured. And they found the whole thing very erotic.
I had mixed feelings about this movie, but it inspired me in this way: I don't personally understand how this is erotic. I doubt the director David Cronenberg did, either. The point is that you can fetishize and make almost anything erotic. It's a mind-opener. It opens a window into an entirely different way of seeing things. The fetish is never fully explained. It just is. I think getting that point is a really crucial thing with erotica.
As I write stories, I don't just keep my story-writing within the boundaries of my own erotic interests. I have no personal interest in incest, for instance, but I have always found the stories interesting and fun, and I like to write them. Erotica is a great way to explore new frontiers. Some movies have opened my eyes to those frontiers.
Speaking of disturbing fetishes, does anyone remember back when Bret Easton Ellis could have been the screenwriter for 50 Shades? I sometimes think about that and feel a sense of loss that this was a thing we could have had and we don’t have it. I don’t know how much cocaine he was doing at that time, but I feel like it was enough to make things interesting. It probably wouldn’t have been erotic, though.
Another movie I remember liking was King Cobra with James Franco, although it was more of a weird thriller.
This is another one that isn’t exactly erotic, but Netflix had this show called Bonded, if I remember correctly. I couldn’t get into things like Secretary, but I could get into that show. Mostly because I felt like the tone was fitting for a professional Dominatrix in some of those scenes.
Miranda, a gently-erotic movie by Tinto Brass. Worth a watch (in my gentle opinion).
