Maybe the better question is why your husband wants to watch sexy movies while parked in a work truck. :\

🙂 Probably for the same reason he likes to watch them at home.

Also, the radio/CD player is broken.

He works security, graveyard. Once he’s checked sensors and doors at different sites, there’s a lot of down time, in a rural area, where nothing is open, not even a cafe where he can get a cup of coffee. Boring.

I’d forgotten about Bull Durham and The Big Easy. Stranger, I’ll look into those titles too, although he’s not big on freaky stuff.

Thanks again!

Well ok…reading books is probably a better use of time though. That’s what I used to do during my weekend computer operator job.

My sexy movie pick is Sliver with Sharon Stone and one of the Baldwin brothers.

Angel Heart has a really steamy sex scene with Mickey Rourke and Lisa Bonet, that was supposedly hot stuff when it came out in the late '80s. I just like the movie as a dark, atmospheric supernatural-noir mystery set in 1950s New Orleans.

I agree, but he’s not a reader. ☹

Angel Heart, yes! And that reminds me of Devil’s Advocate, which I’m pretty sure he’d like.

Wow! I picked my VHS copy up for about $5 at a Blockbuster sale a few years ago. Glad you could get your hands on it, but wow!

**Pillow Book** is a good foreign art film that’s centered around sex (sort of, obviously. It is an art film).

**The New Age** is a good indie film with a lot of sex in it. Also Adam West, but not in any sex scenes.

**The Delta of Venus** is a good trashy, softcore sex flick. It’s a fictionalization of Anais Nin’s early career, sort of. Trust me, if you’re watching it with someone you love, it won’t matter.

Hey, how did I forget [Sex and Lucia](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0254455/)? It’s a Spanish film with subtitles and the plot is intentionally convoluted to the point of incomprehensibility (the main figure in the movie writes himself into the book which becomes the movie), but never mind that; the ravishing [Paz Vega](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0891895/) speaks the international language just fine.

**Blue Velvet**.

Everything else pales in comparison.
