Valentine’s Day is on the horizon, and if a little Netflix and chill is on the menu for you and your sweetheart, you may be looking for the perfect movies to get the sexy times started.
There are generally five movie categories that get people in the mood to get physical: romance, romantic comedies, comedy, action, drama, and horror. With movies being great fodder for conversation overall, it can be easy to tailor your movie night around your date’s particular tastes. For example, maybe laughing together at a comedy puts them in the mood to get naked, or slasher films give them the adrenaline rush they need to get frisky.
Whatever the genre, we’ve got you covered!
Why Movies Make for Hot Dates
Dates can get expensive, even if it’s something as simple as dinner and a movie. By the time you add up dinner and drinks, movie tickets, popcorn, candy, and all the other things that come along with the date, you could easily be out a few hundred dollars. A well-planned movie night at home, on the other hand, can be just as romantic and leaves even more time for the good stuff. So picture this: you cook a nice dinner together, share some wine and dessert over a great movie, then move on to sexier activities.
