List of mainstream films with unsimulated sex

The depiction of sexuality in was at one time restricted by law and self-imposed industry standards. Films showing explicit sexual activity were, with very rare exceptions, confined to privately distributed underground films or "porn loops". Beginning in the 1960s, however, mainstream cinema began pushing boundaries in terms of what is allowed on screen. Although the vast majority of sexual situations depicted in mainstream cinema are simulated, on rare occasions filmmakers have produced motion pictures in which actors were allowed (or instructed) to engage in some level of genuine sexual activity, up to and including sexual intercourse. The difference between these films and pornography is that, while such scenes might be considered pornographic, the main intent of these films is usually not pornographic. Despite this, the release of such films (recent examples include Vincent Gallo's "The Brown Bunny" and Michael Winterbottom's "9 Songs") have often been accompanied by controversy; many of these films have only been released in their uncensored form on home video and DVD, while the scenes in question are usually made widely available (legally or otherwise) through the Internet.

Films with confirmed sexual activity

The following mainstream films have scenes with real sexual activity, meaning actors or actresses are filmed engaging in actual sexual intercourse or performing related sexual acts such as fellatio and cunnilingus. These scenes have been confirmed either through on-screen evidence, or via the actors and actresses themselves in interviews .

Pornographic films reedited as mainstream releases

Prior to the advent of home video, a number of hardcore pornography films were released to mainstream cinemas. In most cases, scenes of penetration were either cut out or replaced with alternate shots. One exception to this was "Deep Throat", which was released uncensored.

Examples of this type of hybrid release include:

* "Alice in Wonderland" (1976):shot as X-rated but first released as an R-rated version. Afterwards, the uncut version was released. [ [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074113/maindetails Alice in Wonderland (1976/I) ] ]

Television series with genuine sexual activity

Actual sexual activity is occasionally depicted on television programs. The rise of specialty cable networks in the 1980s resulted in a number of sexually explicit made-for-cable programs. The following list only includes programming made for non-pornographic broadcasters and therefore does not include programs such as "Foursome" and "7 Lives Exposed" (Playboy Channel productions with unsimulated sexual activity).

* "Family Business", a Showtime reality series about a porn film producer, features footage of actual sexual acts, although scenes of penetration have been edited out.
* "A Girl's Guide to 21st Century Sex" - An eight part documentary aired on Five in UK included uncensored scenes of unsimulated sex, erect penises and ejaculation.
* "Porno Valley", a UK-produced reality series profiling the lives of actresses working for Vivid Video include behind-the-scenes footage of the filming of pornographic films. Like "Family Business", hardcore footage is either edited out or blurred.
* "Sin Cities", a UK travelogue series, features footage of individuals (and occasionally the hosts) engaging in real (but not explicitly shown) sexual activity.
* HBO's "", another reality series, this time set in a Nevada brothel, includes footage of real sexual activity, with digital blurring obscuring any hardcore content.
* "Da Ali G Show" (UK) has a brief scene of authentic cunnilingus performed by a dwarf at the Cannes Porn Festival.
* "Life on Mars" contains an extremely brief, grainy, black and white but uncensored pornographic scene playing through a projector in Season 1 Episode 8.
