Top 10 Best Raunchy Sex Comedies

Porky's is an undisputed classic of the sex comedy genre, and its success is widely credited with the explosion of the genre in the 1980s. Horny teenagers on screen were nothing new, but Porky's was the first to really push the boundaries of vulgarity. Set in the late 1950s, it follows a group of teens on their quest for sex and adulthood. Best remembered for its voyeuristic shower scene, it introduced countless scenarios that would be repeated again and again in the films that followed.

Although it spawned a string of sequels with diminishing returns, the original American Pie was a generation-defining hit that brought the sex comedy into the 21st century. When a group of horny high school friends vow to lose their virginity before graduation, their attempts are as painfully awkward and hilarious as can be. Behind all the vulgar mischief is a surprisingly sincere affection for adolescence. It launched careers and introduced MILFs, band camp stories and, yes, pie into pop culture.

Weird Science is a wonderfully silly mix of a classic 80s sex comedy premise, two nerds desperate for their perfect woman, and a parody of the decade's obsession with computers. The nerds somehow bring their dream girl to life with their home computer and a lucky bolt of lightning. It has less sexual content than other films on this list, but teen movie king John Hughes brings a far more entertaining sci-fi twist to the genre.

Many high school sex comedies focus on the classic feud between nerds and jocks, but what about the kids who don't really fit into either category? Superbad follows high school seniors Seth and Evan (Jonah Hill and Michael Cera), who are definitely not the most popular kids. When they're finally invited to a big party, the inseparable duo hope to impress the popular crowd and maybe score with their crushes. A sharp, quotable script and two lovable leads you can't help rooting for.

The premise may be classic 80s sex comedy material, but there's much more beneath the surface of this smart hit. When high schooler Joel (Tom Cruise in his star-making role) lets loose while his parents are away, he wrecks his father's beloved Porsche after a run-in with a pimp and turns the family home into a temporary brothel to cover the repair bill. A stylish entry that's also an insightful look at the pressures on suburban teens.

Screwballs makes no attempt to hide that it's following in the footsteps of much better sex comedies, but it's all the better for it. It follows five boys determined to see the breasts of calculating cheerleader Purity Busch. It's shamelessly juvenile, but it's perfectly comfortable serving up silly gags (the most memorable involves a character getting his manhood stuck in a bowling ball) and old-fashioned nudity.

In the 1970s, Britain finally shook off its stiff upper lip and embraced the silliness of the sex comedy. Where earlier comedies like the Carry On series skirted around sex with innuendo, the decade saw much raunchier material. The biggest success was Confessions of a Window Cleaner, the highest-grossing film in Britain that year: a silly farce about a window cleaner who satisfies his customers with more than just clean windows.

Judd Apatow paved the way for a wave of R-rated comedies with this hit. One man's quest to lose his virginity is classic sex comedy material, but with a twist: the virgin isn't a high school loser but a 40-year-old man. Andy (Steve Carell) is pushed by his new friends to finally sleep with a woman, but the film is also a surprisingly touching and refreshing look at male friendship and relationships.

Horny teenage fantasies don't get much better than a porn star moving in next door. When the dream comes true for bookish teen Matthew (Emile Hirsch), he quickly falls head over heels for his new neighbor (Elisha Cuthbert), who is hiding a secret or two. It doesn't always balance its farcical elements with its coming-of-age story, but it's an entertaining raunchy twist on the boy-meets-girl scenario.

The 80s were busy years for sex comedies, but most simply weren't very good. Fast Times at Ridgemont High is the exception. Mostly remembered for Phoebe Cates by the pool in her bikini, it's a quirky comedy with plenty of frank and funny discussions about sex. It's a striking coming-of-age story about the real trials of teen romance, and Sean Penn steals the show as surfer-stoner Jeff Spicoli. Look out for early roles from Nicolas Cage, Forest Whitaker and Eric Stoltz.
