The Sexiest and Hottest GIFs of All Time

Sexual tension doesn't even have to look . . . well, sexual. Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams prove this point with this intimate slow dance under the moonlight in "The Notebook."

In an effort to "please her husband," Dany (Emilia Clarke) on "Game of Thrones" requests her servant to teach her the art of seduction. It's all in the eye contact.

Robert Pattinson's jawline should've won the Twilight series at least one Oscar. But since it didn't, we'll just enjoy these two finally making love after waiting more than a century to have sex for the first time.

Bathtub sex is never as hot in reality as it is on TV, so thank god we have GIFs like this to live out our fantasy.

Zendaya gave us all the glamour of a tumultuous relationship in Netflix's "Malcom & Marie." One last night together can bring back all of the sparks of a new relationship, as seen in this GIF. (Clearly, a kitchen make-out is a must.)

If there's anything this GIF proves, it's that sometimes, the foreplay is better — and more pleasurable — than the sex itself.

In 2004's "Troy," Briseis (Rose Byrne) attempts to kill Achilles (Brad Pitt), but things don't go according to plan. He wakes up with her knife to his throat, but he quickly flips her onto her back and seduces her.

"Love & Basketball" is a romance classic for a reason. This 2000 movie still gives us goosebumps when these childhood friends finally break the tension between them with a kiss.

Ryan Gosling stars in "Blue Valentine" with Michelle Williams, and this GIF depicts the sensual buildup to one of the more explicit oral-sex scenes in Hollywood.

If you're not slamming us against vintage furniture, then we don't want it. In this episode of "The Vampire Diaries," things get hot by the fireplace as Elena (Nina Dobrev) and Damon (Ian Somerhalder) reconnect.

Why rush? Take your time making your way up the bed.

No need to come back up. Feel free to stay down there as long as you need. Also, more stomach kisses, please.

Jon Snow (Kit Harington) has sworn to be chaste as a member of the Night Watch. Which is why it's all the more scandalous (aka hot) when he breaks his vow to sleep with Ygritte (Rose Leslie) in this episode of "Game of Thrones."

Channing Tatum shows off his dance moves in a whole new way in the 2012 movie "Magic Mike." Lucky for us, it provides stripteases in the form of hot GIFs.

Reese Witherspoon and Mark Wahlberg share a sexy roller-coaster ride in the 1996 psychosexual thriller "Fear." Wahlberg's character fingers Witherspoon's character until she reaches orgasm at the climax of the ride — pun intended.

HBO's "Girls" gave us many sex scenes during its six-season run. However, this butt motor-boating GIF reminds us to get creative in the bedroom or the kitchen. Thank you, Marnie Michaels (Allison Williams), for this sexy anal-play scene.

Lip-biting is an undervalued skillset. A little nibble or a rough pull of the bottom lip can definitely heighten the passion. It certainly doesn't hurt (too much) to try it!

The little black dress looks even better when it's dropped to the floor. The smooth transition has us in awe of such a simple yet sexy move.

Bathroom hookups take on a different meaning when it's during the workday. But they make being carried into a stall look worth skipping that lunch meeting.

Yup, we have another Jon Snow GIF. Despite his lack of experience, it's clear by this GIF that he's not lacking in oral-sex skills. Or at least, Ygritte seems to enjoy it between berating him.

There's nothing hotter than a back-of-the-cab make-out sesh. "Gossip Girl"'s Blair (Leighton Meester) and Chuck Bass (Ed Westwick) are hot and heavy in this GIF as they make their way through the streets of Manhattan.

There's nothing wrong with taking charge every now and again — even if you're not typically the dominant partner. As this GIF proves, it's the unexpected that makes it truly hot.

Whether or not you're a fan of Jason Derulo, watching his music video for "Want to Want Me" has everyone sweating like it's 2015 again. Just look at those heels on his shoulders. (Also, we love foot fetish representation in hot GIFs.)

Jennifer Lopez shows off her stripping skills in "Hustlers." This GIF gives a little behind-the-scenes action to the real show she performs in front of a bustling crowd ready to throw bands.

We love a partner who will carry you while making out. It's best to preserve that energy for other extracurricular activities, if you know what we mean.

After a brief fight in the pool, Denise Richards's character in "Wild Things" reaches for Suzie (Neve Campbell) in a gentle embrace that quickly escalates. Swimsuits are removed as this GIF fades to black.

Kisses from behind just hit different, especially if it means better access to hair tugging. The added black-and-white effect only brings back fond memories of soft-porn GIFs on Tumblr.

If you're interested in sexual play that's a little rougher than lip biting, "Fifty Shades of Grey" showcases various BDSM equipment to fantasize over. For example, Dakota Johnson's character enjoys being blindfolded and tied up.

"The Notebook" came out almost 20 years ago, and yet it still has one of the best sex scenes ever. After a decade apart, the two lovebirds reunite in the pouring rain, bringing the sexy push-me-up-against-the-door scene we all know and love.

We had to include more than one "Fifty Shades of Grey" GIF in this list given all the sex scenes. Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson slow dancing together looks effortlessly sexy.

Threesomes are making a comeback in cinema — from "Joy Ride" to "Challengers" and more. In "Y Tu Mamá También," two bachelors discover their bisexuality after an older woman seduces both of them — and this GIF shows a tiny glimpse of just that.

After four movies of patiently waiting, Twilight fans finally got the sex scenes they were waiting for in "Breaking Dawn Part 2." Robert Pattinson gave his all as Edward, the sexy 108-year-old vampire, during this honeymoon scene. We'd let him break the bed frame any day.

The library scene from "Atonement" is almost as memorable as this green dress. Keira Knightley and James McAvoy are star-crossed lovers in this wartime romance, so only watch the first 30 minutes if you're prone to weeping.

Ripping each other's clothes off is a good sign things are going well. A few broken buttons is just part of the process.

Bradley Cooper and Scarlett Johanson prove yet again that the office sex fantasy is still alive and well in rom-com classic "He's Just Not That Into You." This GIF gives us just a taste of the steamy affair these two characters have right before his wife walks in.

Sometimes there's nothing hotter than the potential of getting caught in the act. Tom Cruise in "Risky Business" proves there's nothing wrong with a little bit of exhibitionism as long as it's consensual.

Neck kisses always lead to somewhere good. In this "Love & Basketball" GIF, you can practically hear the moans.

Nothing's steamier than a sauna makeout. In VH1's show "So NoTORIous," Sasan (Zachary Quinto) is a bisexual Iranian American man who's quick to make new acquaintances at the spa.

Shower sex can actually be enjoyable if it's done right. These lovers make it clear that it can only get more wet from here.

Just like Kate Upton in this GIF, we're hot and bothered after taking these all in. You're welcome.
