I've been arguing for some time that Peacock is an underrated streamer by people. I think that having a Peacock subscription is one of the best ways to spend your streaming budget. However, of all the streamers, it has to be the tamest when it comes to sexually explicit movies. There really aren't a lot of options, as of September 2026, if you're looking for something steamy, but that doesn't mean you can't find something hot to watch. If you're in the mood for a sexy horror movie or a fun rom-com that brings the heat, there are still some great options on the streaming service. July has brought some big changes to this list, so be sure to check every month, as things change quite often!
Requiem for a Dream (2000)
The Director: Darren Aronofsky
The Cast: Ellen Burstyn, Jared Leto, Jennifer Connelly, Marlon Wayans
Based On: Requiem for a Dream by Hubert Selby Jr.
What It’s About: Four addicts attempt to make a better life for themselves, only to fall deeper and deeper into a seemingly never-ending downward spiral.
What To Expect: If you haven’t seen it already, this hard-hitting drama has it all: drug use, depravity, nudity, and some of the most harrowing cinematic moments of all time.
Fifty Shades of Grey Trilogy (2015-2018)
The Director: Sam Taylor-Johnson (1), James Foley (2 and 3)
The Cast: Dakota Johnson, Jamie Dornan
Based On: Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy by E. L. James
What It’s About: A naive woman (Johnson) meets a mysterious man who entices her into a dom/sub relationship that goes on for three movies
What To Expect: First, the books were a phenomenon, then the movies took off. Is there anyone who doesn't know what they are getting into with this erotic BDSM series of movies? This series is pretty much the reason lists like this exist.
Obsession (2026)
The Director: Curry Barker
The Cast: Michael Johnston, Inde Navarrette
What It's About: A man gets way more than he bargained for when he makes a wish for his crush to fall in love with him in this fantastic (and sexy) horror movie.
What To Expect: This is one of the best horror movies of 2026, and its runaway success at the box office proves it. It goes to some very dark places, but not before some very intimate moments between the two stars.
Almost Famous (2000)
The Director: Cameron Crowe
The Cast: Kate Hudson, Billy Crudup, Patrick Fugit, Jason Lee, Anna Paquin
What It's About: A teenager with dreams of being a rock journalist finds himself on the road with an up-and-coming band. Along the way, he meets Penny Lane, played by Kate Hudson, who shows him all kinds of eye-opening experiences.
What To Expect: It's legendary for a reason. The movie, with its amazing soundtrack and wonderful acting performances, has aged like fine wine. It made Kate Hudson a superstar for good reason.
Of An Age (2022)
The Director: Goran Stolevski
The Cast: Elias Anton, Thom Green
What It’s About: A young immigrant to Australia finds himself in an unexpected, brief, and intense tryst with the older brother of his ballroom dance partner.
What To Expect: An incredibly romantic movie about a short-lived affair that doesn't end in a messy way. It's one of the best LGBTQ+ movies on Peacock.
Couples Retreat (2009)
The Director: Peter Billingsley
The Cast: Vince Vaughn, Jason Bateman, Jon Favreau, Faizon Love, Kristin Davis, Malin Åkerman, Kristen Bell, Jean Reno
What It’s About: Four couples think they are going to a nice tropical resort only to learn it's really more like couples therapy in this quirky rom-com with a stellar cast.
What To Expect: This is one of the tamer movies on this list, for sure, but there are a ton of thirst traps and a lot of crude sexual humor that makes it worthy of inclusion.
The Boy Next Door (2015)
The Director: Rob Cohen
The Cast: Jennifer Lopez, Ryan Guzman
What It’s About: A high school teacher has a one-night stand with "the boy next door," a 19-year-old who lives with his uncle. That leads to the young man getting very obsessive, to say the least
What To Expect: While it's not the best movie on this list, The Boy Next Door feels a little like a throwback to the horror thrillers of the '80s and '90s like Basic Instinct and Fatal Attraction.
If You Were the Last (2023)
The Director: Kristian Mercado
The Cast: Anthony Mackie, Zoë Chao
What It’s About: The last two surviving astronauts on a years-long mission in space fall in love in a "last person on Earth" kind of scenario in this Peacock original.
What To Expect: It's not exactly a rom-com, but it definitely has some funny moments, including a hot scene in weightlessness.
The Love Witch (2016)
The Director: Anna Biller
The Cast: Samantha Robinson
What It’s About: A not-very-talented witch uses spells to have men fall in love with her, to predictably disastrous results.
What To Expect: Part horror movie, part comedy, part tribute to '60s B-movies, The Love Witch is a surprisingly artsy jaunt into a very bizarre world. It's not the best movie on this list, but it's a fun romp with some sexy moments, for sure.
Neighbors (2014)
The Director: Nicholas Stoller
The Cast: Seth Rogen, Rose Byrne, Zac Efron
What It’s About: A couple with a new baby suddenly are faced with a fraternity moving into the house next door. Chaos and hilarity ensue, of course.
What To Expect: While it's not a sex comedy in the classic sense of the word, it's raunchy, dirty, funny, and reminds me of those great comedies from the '80s. It was popular enough to lead to a sequel, as well, which is also available on Peacock.
National Lampoon's Animal House (1978)
The Director: John Landis
The Cast: John Belushi, Tim Matheson, Karen Allen, Tom Hulce, John Vernon, Verna Bloom, Kevin Bacon
What It’s About: The snobs versus the slobs! A fraternity filled with misfits and rejects has more fun than anyone else on campus in this classic comedy set in the 1950s that helped launch the movie careers of many stars.
What To Expect: You could almost call this the OG raunchy '80s comedy, even though Animal House came out in the late '70s. It really set the template for dozens of movies after it and continues to be influential almost 50 years later. Thank you, sir! May I have another!
Peacock’s collection of sexually explicit movies is changing all the time (more than other streamers, even), so make sure to check back in August for even more naughty films.
