Sex Goes to Hollywood
Maybe Twilight gets your blood pumping? Does Fifty Shades get your palm twitching? Or is it Titanic, that, well, floats your boat? Whatever your film fantasy, we've got the go-to guide on how to make like the movies and ensure your next dalliance is a blockbuster!
FRANK OCKENFELS for EWFilm: Fifty Shades of Grey
Fantasy: S&M
Soundtrack: Ultimate Chopin
Prop: Perhaps a grey silk tie? Although there’s certainly something to be said for a twitching palm…
Rex FeaturesFilm: Titanic
Fantasy: Erotic art
Prop: Charcoal, a sketch pad and some hefty diamond neck gear.
Soundtrack: We're not convinced Celine's warbling would cut it in this scenario… so instead opt for a spot of Leo himself’s favourite band Pink Floyd to set the mood
Rex FeaturesFilm: The Ugly Truth
Fantasy: Sex Toys
Prop: A remote controlled bullet vibrator and an eager, tech-savvy partner
Soundtrack: Chris Isaak - Wicked Game
Rex FeaturesFilm: Closer
Fantasy: Strip Tease
Prop: As well as a chair for him, gloves and stockings are good for peeling off… A baby pink wig á la Natalie Portman – optional.
Soundtrack: Pick a song that has a strong beat without being too fast, and makes you feel especially vixen-ish. A few good bets include Closer’s very own How Soon Is Now by The Smiths, Lover I Don’t Have To Love by Bettie Serveet or Tunnel Vision by Justin Timberlake
Rex FeaturesFilm: Fast & Furious
Fantasy: Car sex
Prop: Let’s face it - your fella is unlikely to own a classic ‘70s Dodge Charger, but there’s nothing to say you can’t still indulge your car sex fantasy and corrupt your ol’ Honda Civic! And why not slip into a tank top and leather trousers á la Michelle Rodriguez?
Soundtrack: Elastica - Car Song
Film: The Twilight Saga
Fantasy: Delayed gratification
Soundtrack: Sia - My Love
Prop: Forget the plastic comedy fangs, and instead opt for a black lace teddy á la Bella – guaranteed to have him breaking the headboard.
Rex FeaturesFilm: Four Christmases
Fantasy: Role-Play
Prop: Why not try a floor-length trench, a pair of specs (if you don’t already wear them) or some dangerously high spike heels – anything to give you a sexy, edgy air of mystery…
Soundtrack: She Wants Revenge - Tear You Apart
Rex FeaturesFilm: Eyes Wide Shut
Fantasy: Voyeurism
Prop: A mask. Simples.
Soundtrack: Chris Isaak - Baby Did a Bad, Bad Thing
Rex FeaturesFilm: Vicky Cristina Barcelona
Fantasy: Threesomes
Prop: Um, a third…
Soundtrack: Giulia y Los Tellarini - Barcelona
Rex FeaturesFilm: Boogie Nights
Fantasy: Pornography
Prop: Your favourite DVD – or if you’re feeling especially naughty, a video camera.
Soundtrack: Eric Burdon and War - Spill the Wine
Rex FeaturesFilm: The Notebook
Fantasy: Al fresco frolics
Prop: A pearl necklace (literally, ladies) and ‘pantyhose’. Rain would be good too… so lucky you’re in the UK, eh?
Soundtrack: Why not keep things authentic and opt for The Notebook OST
Rex FeaturesFilm: Dirty Dancing
Fantasy: Dirty, well, dancing
Prop: Toss a sheer scarf over the lamps, line up the records, dig out your peddle-pushers and get ready to grind.
Soundtrack: Solomon Burke - Cry to me
Rex FeaturesFilm: 9 ½ Weeks
Fantasy: ‘Foodplay’
Prop: A blindfold, a well-stocked fridge and a lot of wet-wipes.
Soundtrack: The Newbeats – Bread and Butter
Rex FeaturesFilm: Basic Instinct
Fantasy: Going 'commando'
Prop: No props necessary just ditch your underwear and slip for a dress (trews sans panties is a no-no).
Soundtrack: La Tour - Blue
Rex FeaturesFilm: The Lucky One
Fantasy: Shower sex
Prop:
A shower room big enough to do some wall slamming á la Zac Efron and Taylor Shilling would be good, but in all honestly, once the mood strikes, any ol’ tub would do.
Soundtrack: Early Winters – Count Me In
