The Wedding

Perhaps Erika Lust’s grandest film yet, The Wedding is an adult comedy centered around, well, a wedding (obviously). The film follows the relationships and sexploits of various people in attendance, both guests and staff. The main tension? The happy, horny husband- and wife-to-be’s fear that the groom’s uppity, WASP-y mom is going to find out her son (Dante Colle) and future daughter-in-law (Nicole Kitt) are pansexual and in an open relationship. It ends the way all weddings should—or at least all weddings in high-budget porn flicks should—with a threesome between the bride, her wedding planner, and the photographer.

Another Erika Lust film worthy of your time is the iconic Cabaret Desire, which won the 2012 Film of the Year award at the Feminist Porn Film Festival. Cabaret Desire uses a female-gaze-centered perspective to transport you to a “Poetry Brothel” where a decadent Madame introduces each client to an interested party (and not just gentlemen), who leads them through both cinematographically beautiful and ultra-erotic exploration of sex stories.

Valentine and Jessa

From our faves over at Make Love Not Porn, Valentine and Jessa features two queer, tattooed people of color, bringing unbridled passion to some sunny outdoor sexy time. From the get-go, the film lets you know that all aspects of the crazy-hot sex were negotiated ahead of time, which is perhaps why the stars feel comfortable enough to connect over giggles and validate one another in a sex scene that's touching (pun intended), relatable, and insanely erotic all at once.

The OH Files

Clocking in at 35 minutes, AORTA films' The OH Files may not technically be a feature, but given that it's the studio's film of origin, it makes sense to include. Part of a larger multi-media art project called the ETLE Universe that spanned live performance, a comic book, 3D-printed jewelry, and a concept album (among other projects) this film is a collection of short porn vignettes exploring the aesthetics of this sci-fi universe. From oral sex with swipe-to-change genitals to slow-motion milk-chugging, this film put AORTA films on the map as a studio interested in experimental, explicit film.

Supplicant

Headed by performer Vex Ashley, Four Chambers, once an art project, now exists as its own independent, indie porn production company. The films exist in a space somewhere between porn, art, dreamscape, and fantasy. Supplicant is a meditation on religion, power, and sex. That is, “the act of giving up control; devotion and subjugation. Dual states of purity and sin. The ritual of transcendence. The undertones of tension that are imbued in repression and reverence,” writes Ashley.

Mirror Game

Mirror Game unfolds a riveting tale of an ordinary couple, Michael (Rob Gadling) and Giselle (June Ann), uprooted by a cross-country move to New England. A chance encounter with a cryptic book catapults Giselle into a perilous reality she's unknowingly tied to, risking her sanity and existence. This sinister artifact, ruthless through centuries, transcends time on a merciless, darkly seductive odyssey. An erotic exploration, this is not a game in any traditional sense—it's a chilling engagement that consumes all.

The Intern

This was Erika Lust’s first film and remains possibly her most amazing work ever. The plot has a bit of Taken vibes in the beginning, but in a good way.

Arriving in Barcelona, she discovers her little sister isn’t the innocent girl she used to be anymore. To make things more complex, she winds up in a (very hot) tryst with Maddie's roommate Michael. Paisley's search leads her to the offices of none other than Erika Lust herself. She becomes an intern, and, well, things get dirty and we’re here for it.

Room 208: Julia Roca & Sylvan Garcia

Ok, so the plot is kinda non-existent in this one, and it’s basically just: couple has sex. On the other hand, maybe that's the best plot ever. It's joyful, passionate sex with lots of connection and laughter. Julia Roca has a beautiful, real-seeming orgasm and it seems super believable because, well, take a look at Sylvan Garcia's truly stellar uncut dick.

The Submission of Emma Marx

This movie is Fifty Shades—handcuffs and a BDSM contract-wielding rich guy included—but with more graphic sex and with less questionable ethics. There's plot—Emma's attempting to deny her desires and be “normal"—but she's obviously going to be all-in with the submissive thing. I mean, it's right there in the title. The Canadian Feminist Porn Awards gave the movie the award for “steamiest romantic movie.”

Parisian Pleasure

On Lustery, real couples share their sex videos to capture the realness and intimacy of homemade/amateur porn, but with higher ethical and aesthetic standards than the stuff you get on free tube sites. Parisians James and Luna are sexy and gorgeous, as we know is required by French law, and filmed themselves in their bedroom having all kinds of deliciously GGG (good, giving, game) sex. Need more convincing? This film includes swoony POV from Luna's chest of James' mouth between her legs.

Playing Neck

Okay, so we know we said movies, but we would truly be doing you a disservice by not including this incredibly amazing, super-hot five-minute short. In it, the couple sensually touches, caresses, and makes out. There are major Dom/sub vibes. This is the only time we’ll recommend something without sex and unpaid on this list but trust us: It belongs here. It originally appeared at legendary writer, podcaster, and sex positive icon Dan Savage’s Hump Film Festival, which might just make this the ethical and sexiest porn(ish) out there.
