Strap in and get ready for some seriously spicy scenes that are sure to make your heart race and your cheeks flush! We love a sapphic sex scene, but there’s just something extra tantalizing when sex toys come into play. Decades ago, we were only treated to a few erotic lesbian classics to satisfy our cravings for sexy sapphics on screen. But now, the floodgates have opened, and there are so many more options, including scenes featuring strap-ons that are simply too hot to handle.
This formerly taboo sex act is now almost as synonymous with sapphic sex in people’s minds as scissoring. Yet, we still aren’t treated to queer women using strap-ons as often as we’d like. Luckily, there are some movies and TV shows out there with great strap-on scenes worth watching—and rewinding and watching again!
1. Sense8 — Nomi and Amanita
Sense8 started with a bang right out of the gates. While the show was full of steamy sex scenes, the very first episode showed Nomi (Jamie Clayton) and Amanita (Freema Agyeman) getting it on using a strap-on. And if you think the show shied away from showing any of it on camera, you’d be wrong because the scene ends with Amanita dropping a dripping wet strap-on. Where to watch: Netflix
2. The L Word — Shane and Cherie
Shane (Kate Moennig) features in some of the hottest sex scenes in The L Word, but when she shows up at Cherie’s (Rosanna Arquette) house wearing a strap-on under her jeans, the heat is off the charts. The two women end up having sex after taking a dip in the pool, and the only thing Shane is wearing is her strap-on. Where to watch: Paramount+

3. Tipping The Velvet — Nan and Diana
Based on the Sarah Waters novel, Tipping the Velvet gives you period costumes, more drama than you can handle, and hot sapphic sex. In it, Nan (Rachel Stirling) wears a strap-on while her benefactress Diana (Anna Chancellor) sits in her lap and rides her. Talk about hot! Where to watch: Prime Video
4. Orange is the New Black — Big Boo
Big Boo and her girlfriend in Orange is the New Black had a big moment when we got to see her pre-prison backstory and watched her have sex with a strap-on with an old girlfriend (Madison McKinley). She was locked up, but we were locked in. Where to watch: Netflix

5. Pariah — Akike and Laura
While we don’t actually get to see main character Akike (Adepero Oduye) have sex with a strap-on in Dee Rees’ film Pariah, she tries it on with the support of her friend Laura (Pernell Walker). The scene manages to be both comical—it’s a big white dildo—but it has a weighty significance for a character who is trying to understand her own sexuality. Where to watch: Rent on Amazon Prime
6. And Just Like That… — Miranda and Che
The sequel series to Sex and the City didn’t give fans everything they were hoping for, but it did manage to push the boundaries of sex on TV yet again when Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) is shown wearing a harness and dildo at Che’s (Sara Ramirez) request. Where to watch: HBO Max
7. Below Her Mouth — Jasmine and Dallas
Below Her Mouth is arguably one of the most erotic lesbian films ever created—it didn’t go through the rating system for a reason! While the tribbing scene is excellent, the moment when Dallas (Erika Linder) takes Jasmine (Natalie Krill) from behind while standing in a bathtub is extra hot. Where to watch: Prime Video
8. The L Word: Generation Q — Micah and Maribel
There are plenty of tender sex scenes between Micah (Leo Shang) and Maribel (Jillian Mercado) in The L Word: Generation Q, but things get taken up a notch when they really go at it with a strap-on, and we get to see Micah in a harness. Where to watch: Amazon Prime
9. The Real L Word — Whitney and Romi
The L Word-inspired reality TV show was always full of surprises, but no one expected to see two of the stars have sex on camera with a strap-on. But it happened! Way back in 2010, stars Whitney and Romi had unsimulated sex with a strap-on for the whole world to see, and everyone was just left wondering if we were really allowed to see this on TV.
So there you have it, folks! These strap-on scenes are not just about the toys; they’re a celebration of queer intimacy and representation that deserves to be seen and cherished. Grab your popcorn and get ready to hit play on these sizzling moments!
