People Are Sharing The TV Shows And Movies That Spurred Their Sexual Awakening, And I Can't Help But Giggle
We recently asked members of the BuzzFeed Community to tell us about the TV show, movie, or other piece of media they consider responsible for their sexual awakening. Some of the results really made me giggle. Here's what folks revealed: 1."The Hex Girls. Dusk, the angsty drummer, just did something for me." —monikap6 2."Val Kilmer as Madmartigan in Willow. The hair, the declaration of love to Sorsha, holding Princess Elora Danan…Top shelf Daikini, that one." —luxahoy 3."Leah Remini on The King of Queens. She's still gorgeous, but in those early seasons, she was my first celebrity crush, and I realized what I wanted my wife to look like even when I was just a child. Now, that's still my type." —edgysealion411 4."David Bowie in Labyrinth. I'm sure I really don't have to say much more than that." —padawanryan 5."The Bangles' video for 'Walk Like an Egyptian' was the first time I remember getting the tingle feeling. Susanna Hoffs' eyes and Debbi Peterson dancing with the tambourine. It still gets me!" —theplunger10 6."Alan Rickman in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. And Alan Rickman in anything else. But that was the start." —pastelbutterfly37 7."Possibly a bit weird, but Lola Bunny in Space Jam has to be up there. The eyes, the voice, the athleticism were —Anonymous 8."Catherine Zeta-Jones and Antonio Banderas in The Mask of Zorro. Especially when they spar in the stable and he slices off her clothes!" —Anonymous 9."Vanilla Ice, when he first came on the scene." —pepperopigeon 10."I must have been about 10 when I watched The Thorn Birds. I tried to watch it anytime it came on, just so I could watch Richard Chamberlain and Rachel Ward slow burn until they finally had sex. That was the only thing I cared about through the whole movie!" —ssstege11573 11."Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron. Both the horse and Little Creek. But I think mostly Spirit and Rain's 'romance' really did it for me." —Anonymous 12."The Rocky Horror Picture Show exposed me to bisexuality AND introduced me to Tim Curry. Perfection!" —Anonymous 13."Walking past Le Senza in the mall (I'm Canadian) had me wanting to kiss girls, so I was then pretty confused when Don Juan DeMarco came out and got me wanting to kiss boys. Turns out, I'm bi!" —Anonymous 14."The Phantom of the Opera film." —Anonymous 15."I saw the movie Hellraiser at a slumber party when I was around 13, and DID NOT expect the wild sexual energy that this movie has. In retrospect, it's a pretty well-known fact that Hellraiser explores a lot of pain/pleasure dynamics, but at the time, I was just really confused about why this random horror movie was making me feel so many THINGS. Also, I had an immediate hard crush on both Pinhead AND Kirsty, so there's the added bonus of realizing I was bi." —mcrivellokhan 16."Jasmine and Aladdin kissing on the magic carpet." —Anonymous 17."I was watching Hackers with Angelina Jolie. She was so tough, cool, and sexy. I didn't even notice the guys in that movie. My fiancé commented on her beauty and then tried to pressure me into a threesome with another woman. I said I'd rather break up with him and just date a girl like Angelina. I still think about her in that film in ways I never think of my ex. That's when I knew I was not only bisexual, but also not into assholes." —Anonymous 18."Jacob Black from New Moon. To this day, I'm still Team Jacob. Those abs, man, SWOON!" —Anonymous 19."Leonardo DiCaprio in Titanic." —Anonymous 20."It was an early TV show called T.H.E. Cat. The leading man was a handsome cat burglar and wore lots of black turtlenecks and black leather gloves and was always tying up bad guys. I wanted him to tie me up because it made me feel funny. I found out later that the leading man was Robert Loggia, who was the 'dancing boss' in Big." —Anonymous 21."Seeing Gillian Anderson as Dana Scully in The X-Files being a badass medical doctor and even more badass FBI agent when women in male fields weren't nearly as common. She was sassy, smart, and a bad bitch! She is also still one of the hottest women alive. Scully forever!" —Anonymous 22."Watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Season 3, with Eliza Dushku as Faith. I already knew I was straight and attracted to women, but seeing Faith kick ass in leather pants cemented the type of woman I'm interested in. And I am now married to one." —Anonymous 23."Jim from Treasure Planet. At the start of the movie, when he's flying on the hoverboard, something about the ponytail and ear piercing had me obsessed for years." —Anonymous 24."Elvira: Mistress of the Dark." —Anonymous 25."'Cecilia' by Simon & Garfunkel has a line, 'Making love in the afternoon with Cecelia up in my bedroom.' As a 12-year-old, I was shocked to learn that people had sex during the day. Everything I had been told up until then said it was a nighttime affair." —Anonymous 26."Star Trek: Voyager. Jeri Ryan joined the cast just before my 12th birthday. That was the first time I felt the stirrings of sexual attraction. No nudity, no sex scenes. Just a beautiful woman in a suggestively tight body suit. That was the first twinge." —Anonymous "Sting semi-naked in Dune. Lean but a little muscular guys are still my type!" —Anonymous What do you think is responsible for your sexual awakening? Was it a suggestive movie scene? A swoon-worthy TV character?

I had sex with my aunt on her sofa after impromptu skinny dip session – should I come clean to my wife?
1 DEAR DEIDRE: MY aunt seduced me when I was 18 and apart from my best friend no one else knows. We spent a whole summer entangled in her bed. Even though I'd already lost my virginity to a girl from my school, being with her was my real sexual awakening. She is my dad's younger sister and I'd gone to live with her as I'd got a temporary job in her city. We were left to our own devices and we made the most of our freedom. She is seven years older than me and one of the sexiest women I've ever met. One day, it was so hot and sticky we went down to a local swimming spot. We stripped off and I noticed her checking me out. That afternoon when we got home, she pounced on me asking to see my chest again. Within minutes we were having sex on her sofa. I've kept those memories of skinny dipping in the river and having sex anywhere and everywhere all to myself but now I wonder if I should come clean to my wife to be. I don't want to have any secrets from her and somehow it seems like I'm lying by keeping this from her - especially as my aunt will be at the wedding and I know my wife-to-be and she will meet. I'm 29 now and my fiancée is 27. We have a great relationship and I've never had any doubts about her but I'm worried this could come between us. We have spoken about our pasts and I admitted I'd had a crazy summer with a woman a little bit older, but I lied and said I'd met her through my job. So she knows part of the truth. After my job finished and I moved back home, my aunt and I agreed that would be the end of our affair. We didn't even stay in touch, only catching up at family gatherings. She is still as stunning as ever. She now has two young daughters and a long term boyfriend and I'd never want to jeopardise that. This isn't easy. What should I do? DEIDRE SAYS: This was no idyllic love affair and while it doesn't seem to have occurred to you, having a sexual relationship with your aunt, someone you are related to counts as incest. I must let you know that incest is a criminal offence. You were 18 at the time of this relationship barely an adult and your aunt had a lot more life experience than you. I'm afraid to say she took advantage of your inexperience and her behaviour could even be considered grooming. You have a difficult decision to make. If you tell your wife, it could taint your wedding day and open a whole can of worms. On the other hand your wife might feel more upset were she to find out from someone else further down the road, although this seems very unlikely as you've only ever told your best friend and your aunt has too much to lose to share the truth. You have a lot to work through and it would really help you if you were to see a counsellor, someone who could help you decide what are your next best steps. Dear Deidre's Incest Issues Deidre's mailbag is bursting with incest and relationship problems.

Black Sun, White Heat: Dark Cinema for the Summer Season
In the new film Hot Milk, the sensual but diffident 20-something Sofia (Emma Mackey) travels with her invalid mother, Rose (Fiona Shaw), to the Mediterranean shores of Spain in search of an experimental cure for the latter's (possibly hypochondriac) illness. But the sun-scorched resort town also supplies an opportunity for Sofia to swim and sunbathe alongside a fellow German tourist, Ingrid (Vicky Krieps), whose permissive lifestyle clashes sharply with Rose's. Soon, the pouty Sofia—a near-doppelgänger for Jane Birkin, circa 1969—embraces the erotic languor she experiences in her mother's absence. Yet what sounds like the start of a frothy tale of sexual awakening turns blackly suspenseful as Sofia's simmering resentments and desire for liberation pit her against Rose in a battle for familial control. Based on the 2016 novel by Deborah Levy—whose previous work Swimming Home, from 2011, also makes use of the villa holiday to probe themes of sexual longing and family ties—Hot Milk's blend of summery climate and dark eroticism fits into a distinctive cinematic legacy. Instead of the twilit settings and bleak, urban climes that define classical film noir, the summer noir—or, perhaps, 'vacation thriller'—highlights characters suffering from the corrupting dangers of too much sunlight, a Victorian phobia for the combination of environmental heat and recreative estrangement that can breed a kind of morbid, hothouse atmosphere of moral lassitude. European cinema helped to produce much of summer noir's lexicon of themes, settings, and archetypes: Its fascination with the storied decadence of the leisure class—and the profligate rituals of the seasonal tourist—appeared in earlier film satires by Jean Renoir and Jacques Tati. But summer noir's focus on the images of sun-soaked flesh and seething nihilism dovetailed most closely with the post-'60s era, which had pushed moral and aesthetic regimes to new extremes. On the occasion of Hot Milk's release, Vogue has put together a list of some of summer noir's best entries. Whether it is Alain Delon wasting away in the canyons of the Cote d'Azur or Mimsy Farmer shooting heroin on the beaches of Ibiza, these films reveal that too much daylight has its own kind of darkness—and that the pleasures of seasonal debauchery can often lead to the tragedy of a permanent vacation.

Emma Thompson: Sex should be recommended by the NHS
It comes amid a rise in Hollywood plots exploring the lives of sex workers, including the Oscar-winning film Anora about a young escort who achieves what she believes is a fairytale when she marries the son of a Russian oligarch. Dame Emma's character in Good Luck to You, Leo Grande, by contrast, is a widow who wants to experience a sexual awakening. Her character never experienced an orgasm, something that the actress admitted is 'notoriously difficult' for women. Discussing the topic at the screening, she described the female orgasm as 'a beautiful, healthy expansion of your body in a moment of time'. Dame Emma added: 'It's very good to be able to give yourself an orgasm when you need one. And for women, it is notoriously difficult. 'In fact, the stats are quite alarming. It really is much harder than you think. One of the things that really surprised me when the film came out was the number of young women who told me they'd never had an orgasm.' Sex work 'very complicated' The Sense and Sensibility actress also acknowledged her 'very complicated views about sex work', but said that Daryl McCormack, her co-star in the 2022 film, had spoken to a host of sex workers ahead of the role. She said they taught the 32-year-old actor that their profession is just work for them, saying they are 'just like accountants – sex workers are doing a job'. Mikey Madison, the breakout star of Anora, also acknowledged the sex worker community in her Oscars acceptance speech for best actress. The 26-year-old, who consulted sex workers for her role, said: 'I also just want to again recognise and honour the sex worker community. 'I will continue to support and be an ally. All of the incredible people, the women I've had the privilege of meeting from that community has [sic] been one of the highlights of this entire incredible experience.' Dame Emma, who is president of the Helen Bamber Foundation, which supports survivors of human trafficking, said: 'Sex workers are a little more vocal now and very strong on what they think needs to happen – and they're the people we need to listen to.'
