17 lesbian sex scenes conveniently found on Netflix

We can't get enough of these Sapphic love scenes!

Oh, Netflix, how we love you!

In fact, we’re not even sure what we love most. It might be the endless hours of exciting, often original programming at our fingertips. Perhaps it’s the collective years of our lives we’ve dedicated to binging strange, new TV shows alone in the dark, avoiding human contact. Or maybe it’s that, when browsing for a spontaneous movie night, Netflix, for some reason, seems to offer so many great lesbian films. This also means there are several lesbian sex scenes on Netflix that you need to see, you know, for science.

That’s right, for better or for worse (occasionally much worse), Netflix is a queer ladies’ free-for-all, and we’re loving every moment of it!

While the country backslides into conservatism, and it seems like every show with queer characters struggles to stay on the air for more than one season (Netflix is guilty of this too), it can feel like you don’t have any options if you want to watch something sexy and sapphic.

Luckily, Netflix has a whole bunch. So we’ve shamelessly ranked the best of Netflix’s most sapphic sex scenes for your upcoming movie night enjoyment. And even better, Netflix switches out movies all the time, so as soon as you've gone through these, we may have a brand new list waiting for you. Happy viewing, and try to remember to leave your house every once in a while!

On Swift Horses

Much has been made of the steamy gay plotline in this film, so you’d be forgiven if you didn’t realize that it had a lesbian one, too. That element of the film centers on Muriel (Daisy Edgar-Jones), a newlywed whose life is turned upside down when she meets Sandra (Sasha Calle), and the two embark on a passionate affair.

Blue is the Warmest Color

In Blue Is the Warmest Color, when Adèle (Adèle Exarchopoulos) meets a young blue-haired artist named Emma (Léa Seydoux), it proves to be utterly life-changing. The two have instant chemistry and fall into a complicated and tumultuous love affair. This film is infamous in sapphic circles—and with good reason. All the praise is warranted, as is the criticism. But that’s not what we’re here to discuss. There is a very, very steamy sex scene that you won’t want to miss.

The Hunting Wives

Our latest soapy binge watch has come... if you know what we mean. The Hunting Wives follows Sophie O'Neil (Brittany Snow) an East Texas transplant who falls in with a group of socialites lead by Margo Banks (Malin Akerman) caught up in a web of soapy and steamy drama, including sapphic hookups and murder.

Happy Ending

Luna and Mink are a happily married couple but when she admits she's been faking all her orgasms with him, they decide to have a threesome, enter Eve. You can guess what happens next — and it's so, so, so hot.

Ride or Die

In the vein of Love Lies Bleeding and Bound, this film serves up those "be gay, do crime" vibes we love. It follows two friends on the run after one kills the other's abusive husband, only to find themselves falling in love. It's dramatic, it's bloody, and the Sapphic sex scene, oh it is steamy! All the things we love.

Duck Butter

If you’re looking for hot Sapphic sex scenes, then look no further than this lesbian mumblecore movie starring Alia Shawkat and Laia Costa. In it, Shawkat plays a struggling actress who hooks up with a woman, and then the two decide to spend 24 hours together, having sex every hour. Talk about hot! Plus, the steamy scenes are nothing like the lesbian sex scenes of the past that were usually created for the male gaze.

Gypsy

Gypsy was pretty, um, controversial when it came out. Listen, it's a guilty pleasure, so don't judge! The series follows a therapist played by Naomi Watts who goes undercover as "Diane" to infiltrate and better understand her patients. This includes seducing one of her patient's ex-girlfriends, Sidney (Sophie Cookson). Is this good therapist behavior? No ma'am! But is the chemistry between these two absolutely fire and are the sex scenes unbelievably steamy? Oh, you betcha!

Arcane

Animated lesbians deserve love, too! From the very beginning of Arcane, characters Vi and Caitlyn had a spark that sapphics picked up on. Sure, we were thrilled when the two smooched early in the second season, but shippers were fully rewarded with the two finally consummated their romance with a jailhouse love scene.

Anne+: The Film

We love a romantic, sensual sex scene as much as the next person, but sometimes you want something really hot. That’s where Anne+: The Film comes in. In it, a 20-year-old lesbian is trying to finish her novel and has plans to move to Montreal to meet her girlfriend there, but ends up having her head turned by a drag king named Lou. The two go on a date and end up back at Lou’s place, where they end up having sex. The scene is so hot you won’t want to miss it!

Orange is the New Black

When Orange is the New Black dropped on Netflix, it became an instant hit and queer sensation. The seven-season-long show was full of heartbreak, angst, and lots and lots of lesbian sex. In fact, there are so many steamy Sapphic sex scenes in the show that we ranked all 50 of them!

Elisa & Marcela

If you’re looking for hot lesbian sex scenes, Elisa & Marcela is the perfect movie to put on because by the time you get halfway through the film, there is one steamy sex scene after the other! Based on. Based on a true story, Elisa & Marcela is a Spanish film about two women in the early 1900s who posed as a heterosexual couple in order to become the first same-sex marriage recorded in Spain.

The Ultimatum: Queer Love

This queer version of the popular Netflix dating show was one of the messiest things we’ve ever seen, and we loved every minute of the drama-filled first season! On the show, couples who are getting close to marriage decide whether they want to tie the knot or split up by choosing new partners from the group and moving in with them for three weeks. And since the show aired on Netflix and not network TV, when the newly formed couples smashed, the cameras didn’t cut away!

She's Gotta Have It (series)

Spike Lee’s She Gotta Have It was groundbreaking in 1986, and his series of the same name is doing the same thing by portraying lesbian sex between two Black leads on screen. The second season of the show follows Nola Darling (DeWanda Wise) as she kicks three men she used to date to the curb and spends the summer with single mom Opal (Ilfenesh Hadera). The show may be funny and heartfelt, but let’s be honest, we’re really watching because the second season kicks off with a montage of Sapphic sex between the two women that lasts for two and a half minutes!

The Perfection

The Perfection is one of the most bonkers, over-the-top movies you’ll ever watch, but between the body horror and the hot lesbians, it is well worth your time. Allison Williams (The Girls, Get Out) stars as musical prodigy Charlotte, who returns to her prestigious music school to find a new girl. Lizzie, played by Logan Browning (Dear White People), has taken her place. The two end up in bed together before embarking on a sinister path that will lead the women in directions you never could have guessed. Not only will the plot keep your head spinning, but the two women have incredible chemistry, and there is an oral sex scene that we’re still thinking about.

Honey Don’t!

Following the success of Drive Away Dolls, Honey Don’t! is the second entry in Ethan Coen and co-writer Tricia Cooke’s “lesbian B-movie trilogy,” and it certainly delivers on that moniker. Margaret Qualley stars as private detective Honey O’Donahue who is trying to solve a murder mystery that involves a religious cult. Also on the case is Aubrey Plaza as police officer MG Falcone, who has the hots for Honey. There are so many sexy scenes, but the moment Plaza fingers Qualley in a bar full of people is emblazoned in our collective memories.

Sense 8

Sense 8 is definitely Netflix’s sexiest show. From the multiple orgies to hot gay sex to a lesbian sex scene unlike we’re used to seeing on television, the series was always turning viewers on. The show’s very first episode even has one of the hottest scenes in TV history, when Nomi and Amanita have erotic strap-on sex that ends with Amanita dropping the strap-on on the floor, and it's dripping wet.

Easy

Somehow, this hot show not only has a threesome between Malin Akerman, Orlando Bloom, and Kate Micucci, but another super hot lesbian sex scene too. The Netflix original comedy anthology series explores love, technology, and culture in Chicago and has a star-studded cast. But the reason to give this one a shot is because of a scorching scene between Sophia Bush and Jacqueline Toboni, whose work flirt escalates into off-the-charts chemistry that leads to hot sex on a couch.
