Any moviegoer knows that when it comes to sex scenes in movies, there seems to be a rule that says that sex only should be shown when it’s between a man and a woman. In recent years we have luckily seen this rule be completely abandoned.
The growth of queer cinema has done lots to challenge the norm of heterosexual sex in films, portraying some captivating and beautiful scenes of gay sex. The importance of this kind of representation can’t be understated, since it’s necessary for people to know that gay sex exists, and it can be shown just as beautifully as straight sex.
Movies featuring gay sex scenes have come a long way in recent decades. From the eighties to just a few years ago, much has changed: the whole idea of queerness is seen in a completely different way, and so filmmakers dare to show different kinds of sex scenes. This list compiles the movies with gay sex scenes. Some are emotional, some are humorous, but they all are completely queer.
