Movies Like Fifty Shades of Grey

“Fifty Shades of Grey” and its sequels (“Fifty Shades Darker” and “Fifty Shades Freed”) are undeniably sexy films, but they are certainly not the only erotic movies out there that explore more singular sexual tastes. What so many people connect with in the relationship between Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan) and Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson) is the intensity they share in their romance and the dominant and submissive nature between the two. And yes, we can’t say we hate that Christian gets ever so slightly rough with Ana sometimes.

But sexiness isn’t just pure sex. The deep intimacy between sexual partners is also what we love about “Fifty Shades of Grey” and similar movies that explore pure intimacy. Sometimes that comes down to dialogue or emotion more so than actual sex. We love a partner who listens to what we want and actively sets out to give it to us, and that comes down to intimacy in a partnership.

For something that’s a little more than just your average romance, we have a selection of movies in the vein of “Fifty Shades of Grey” that are sexy, steamy, and perhaps even a little kinky. From bondage and BDSM to pure, passionate sex, we’ve rounded up movies similar to “Fifty Shades of Grey” that give it a run for its money when it comes to sex-filled scenes and interesting additions in the bedroom (or the car, or the bathroom floor, or the middle of a room filled with masked members of a secret society).

If you’re up for something a little different than your average romance, then these movies are sure to satisfy. It goes without saying, but these movies are most definitely NSFW but are highly recommended to be enjoyed with a partner (or partners).
