NEW YORK — Adult star and director Joanna Angel knows good on-screen sex when she sees it.
For a feature published in Men’s Health today, Angel listed her favorite sex scenes in mainstream movies (17 of them), or scenes “that are just as sexy as any porn scene.”
Angel is an adult director, owner of Burning Angel, author and multi-XBIZ Award-winning actress, who was named 2018 XBIZ Best Actress in a comedy release for “Jews Love Black Cock.”
“I’ve been directing and starring in pornography for about 15 years,” Angel told Men’s Health. “It’s literally my job to turn people on, and that job comes with its own challenges.
“Even though I can show basically whatever I want on camera, it’s still hard to shoot a good porn scene — and my career in the adult industry has brought my appreciation of mainstream sex scenes to a whole new level.
“When I see a PG-13 or R-rated sex scene that manages to turn people on by showing just a few surreptitious glances, a little bit of tongue, and maybe a tiny bit of tongue, I know it’s truly something special.”
The Men’s Health online piece includes Angel’s perspectives gathered from the sex scenes in the 17 movies, along with video clips of the scenes.
Angel’s favorite sex scenes include those from the following mainstream movies: “2 Days in the Valley,” “Wild Things,” “Shakespeare in Love,” “Heathers,” “Notorious,” “White Men Can’t Jump,” “Call Me by Your Name,” “Basic Instinct,” “Boogie Nights,” “Black Swan,” “Risky Business,” “Jennifer’s Body,” “Go,” “Wet Hot American Summer,” “Y Tu Mama Tambien” and “Mulholland Drive.”
