Sex in Cinema

From the big screen to the flatscreen to whatever device

was handv, it was a banner vear for our favorite pastime

verall, 2013 was a standout year for connoisseurs of screen sensuality. Multiplexes got steamy when a bohemian Kristen Stewart went topless in On the Road, platinum-grilled drug dealer James Franco seduced coeds in Spring Breakers and Jennifer Aniston pole-danced in her skivvies in We're the Millers. An all-grown-up Lindsay Lohan drifted naked and numb through The Canyons, while Daniel Radcliffe in Kill Your Darlings took to guy-on-guy sex like Harry Potter took to Quidditch. Meanwhile, cable channels served on a silver platter the nakedness of Nicole Kidman and Clive Owen in Hemingway £s? Gellhorn, not to mention that of Matt Damon in the Liberace bio movie Behind the Candelabra. Jon Hamm's devilish ad man continued to plow his way through the female cast of Mad Men, and Don Cheadle's management consultant on House of Lies woke up with a knockout after a night of office sex. The younger casts of breakout sensations such as Girls and Orange Is the New Black gave their more-established acting colleagues mighty competition in the screen-sex Olympics. Let's raise a year-end toast in celebration of who did what to whom, sexually speaking, in the movies and on TV
