10 most uncomfortable movie sex scenes

Warning: Don't try these at home

When “Antichrist,” the new film from director Lars Von Trier (“Breaking the Waves,” “Dancer in the Dark”), premiered at Cannes, it sent critics and audiences stumbling out of the theater in shock. The graphically violent, sexually explicit psychological thriller has been the talk of arty film circles ever since. On Oct. 23, “Antichrist” opens theatrically in New York and Los Angeles, and beginning Oct. 28 it will be available nationwide on IFC’s on demand cable service.

Willem Dafoe and Charlotte Gainsbourg star as a couple grieving the death of their child, but one of the film’s biggest draws will be its out-there sex—which happens in a shower, in a bedroom and outside on the ground as body parts appear in the background (yeah, the movie is freaky). Both actors appear nude and some of the most explicit shots were filmed with stand-ins.

Take a look back at 10 more of the most extreme and uncomfortable movie sex scenes.
