Lights, camera, fake f*ck!
Okay I’m not sure what inspired this post, except maybe that freakishly big breasted porn clip Lacy Danes sent me (don’t ask). But today I’m going to ask a question that might make you scratch at your movie memory a bit.
Love scenes are sexy and arousing in books, and it’s so great to read about the hero and heroine in that moment. That’s why I’m not a fan of closed door love scenes. I love being right there with the characters when they take that step. But in a movie, we don’t get to go there. Not really anyway. Love scenes are staged (unless it’s a porno). They’re not REALLY inserting tab A into tab B. It’s all about using shadows, and hints, and teasing shots.
So here’s my question. Can you remember a love scene in a movie where you were almost convinced they really WERE doing the deed? That maybe even got you hot and bothered? I can! Me, pick me! *Dancing around waving hand in the air* This scene has ALWAYS stuck with me. It’s probably the dirtiest love scene that ISN’T really happening. Wooo weee! *Fanning self*
So tell me, what’s you’re favorite love scene? But before you go… Drum roll… check out Demi Moore and Woody Harrelson in MY favorite love scene. The quickie from Indecent Proposal.

I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a movie where I was convinced the couple were really going at it.
One of my favorite sex scenes is from Firelight. It’s not extremely titillating, it’s just the expression of the hero and heroine as they realize what’s happening between them is so much more than it was supposed to be.

OMG! I just realized the title of this post.

Yeah that’s a pretty hot scene. I remember watching the movie the first time and thinking daaaammmnnnnn….LOL
You know when Demi is in that movie with Michael Douglas where she brings him up on harrassment charges? Ok I had to google it. Disclosure. That scene is kinda smokin too. Maybe it’s Demi.

Firelight, never seen it. Or heard of it…hmm. Like my title, do you, Emma? Hee.
Karen, Demi is HOT. She could rob any cradle. I actually haven’t seen Disclosure. Shoot. That’s two for two you guys have mentioned.

Whew - that was HAWT! I’m going to have to watch that movie again. I just found the whole thing with Robert Redford awkward for some reason LOL.
There is a scene in The Big Easy with Dennis Quaid and Ellen Barkin that is really hot too.

Hi Michelle!! I have to admit I don’t actually care for the movie Indecent Proposal all that much, but that scene…yowzers. LOL.
The Big Easy…dang it, never seen that either. What the heck is wrong with me!? I need to get out more. Or stay in and rent more movies. *grin*

I like the scene in An Officer and A Gentleman, it’s short but good. Though its not as hot as this one.

When Gina Gershon fingers Jennifer Tilly in Bound it seemed SO real. You can see it here!

It’s hot.

Holy shit! I forgot about that scene. Forgot about that movie in general. They are awesome! And I’m not into women, but that Gershon/Tilly scene was sizzlin’ hot!

Jammie, I know! That scene is hot.
I’d do ‘em.

My mind has gone blank after seeing that scene. I’ll have to think about it. Yowks, tornado warning here - especially Tarrant Co., you be careful over there y’all.

You know, he’ll always be that dork from cheers for me. I NEVER saw him as sexy. Well… until now. That was really impressive!

I was going to mention Bound. Very, very hot.
Also very good was the scene between Steven Bauer and Barbara Williams in Thief of Hearts.
March 31st, 2008 at 9:30 pm
Careful, Bailey!
Mima, he never struck me as hot either. Now that scene… wow, I wonder how they got through it.
Rob, I’ll have to check that one out.

Wild Orchid with Mickey Rourke and Kari Otis…they were dating at the time, and the rumor is that they WERE REALLY DOING IT in the movie.
I’m a perv and have seen that movie probably 10 X

Oooh, Vivi, now I TOTALLY want to see that!!!!
