There's something about adding a third person to the party that takes a sex scene from pretty sensual to unbelievably hot. Jay Ellis [1]'s grocery-store-intro-turned-wild-threeway in Insecure and Blake Lively [2]'s steamy trio with her two boyfriends in Savages are just a couple of the sexy encounters [3] you're about to see. Ahead, we've rounded up 12 of the best threesome [4] scenes in movies and TV shows, because three is sometimes better than two.

Michael Fassbender's sex-addicted character in Shame spirals out of control when his younger sister moves in, and he hires two prostitutes in this intense scene.

In season two of Insecure, two random girls at the grocery store invite Lawrence over for some fun. Things get hot, fast — before he realizes the girls' strange fetish.
Easy
Orlando Bloom [6] and Malin Akerman play a curious couple in Easy who discover the fun of Tinder. After looking for a woman to join them for a threesome, they recruit a friend instead.
Vicky Cristina Barcelona
Cristina (Scarlett Johansson [7]) and Vicky (Rebecca Hall [8]) are two American tourists who end up both falling for the same painter (Javier Bardem [9]) while in Spain — hence the title Vicky Cristina Barcelona. But when Cristina ends up bunking with his volatile ex-wife, the three of them get down in the darkroom.
