For some people, it's the degree of nudity and explicitness of a scene that turns them on. For others, it's the more subtle suggestion of what is not seen on camera. A few people mentioned cartoon movies as turn-ons: "The Little Mermaid," "The Lion King," and "Aladdin."]
None come to mind – but when I'm watching a movie, I'll be watching the woman, and then just think about her naked for a moment. Then I'll get aroused and will probably just do my thing while I watch the movie. (Only when I'm watching the movie in my bedroom, of course!)

In "Basic Instinct" Mike Douglas and Sharon Stone make love. I masturbate and try to time my orgasm for when they achieve theirs.

Every time I "do my thing" I think about the scene in "Cruel Intentions" where Sarah Michelle Gellar rubs herself against Ryan Phillipe and gives him a massive erection, and then just walks away. Damn – not only are they both way gorgeous, but the thought of being with either one of them on its own is a massive turn-on for me.

The stampede scene from the "Lion King" gets my juices flowing.

I like to masturbate while watching music videos. I would recommend Jennifer Lopez in "If You Had My Love" and Christina Aguilara's "Genie in a Bottle."

It really depends on my mood. If I'm in the mood for sheer physical feeling, I look back on the scene from "Private School," when Phoebe Cates's classmates are together in a common shower. I love the way the camera browses across the shower and allows you a good view of every girl's body. It makes you wish you were in there with them. If I'm in a romantic mood, I'll think of the scene from a small movie, "Haunted," when Kate Beckinsdale (whom I find very beautiful) makes love with Aiden Quinn. It's very tastefully acted, and Kate is someone I really admire as an actress and as a person.

When characters in films talk about masturbation, such as in "Good Will Hunting" and "There's Something About Mary." Just the word seems to get me erect, and I start masturbating. I guess it's just a good feeling knowing everybody else really *does* masturbate.

I often think about the best lovemaking scene I've ever seen in a movie: Christian Slater having intercourse in "The Name of the Rose." My parents would not let me see that movie for years because of that scene. Christian's butt is just beautiful, and his pelvic region while he's inside of her is visible, too.

"Titanic," when he is painting her naked – I fantasize about that being me.
- age 13, Nevada (female)
I sometimes fantasize about the nude sex scene with Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman in "Eyes Wide Shut."
- age 19, Indiana
I like masturbating to gay stuff. I am straight, but for some reason, boys turn me on. I don't want to have sex with one or anything – but watching a guy masturbate makes me hard, too.
- age 16, United Kingdom
It's an old movie: "The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea," with Sara Miles and Kris Kristofferson. She is a doyenne of the town, a widow. He is an injured sailor she hires as a handyman. They are in a restaurant, and he reaches under the table and starts to play with her. She freaks and tries to stop him, but he won't stop. He leans forward and tells her if she doesn't control herself everyone in the restaurant is going to know what he's doing and he isn't going to stop. She is shocked, humiliated, and... very turned on. Mmmmm. I've masturbated over that for *years* since the movie came out, maybe 20 years ago.

I like the scene in the movie "U Turn" where Jennifer Lopez has sex with her husband. This turns me on, and I ejaculate almost immediately after I start to masturbate.

Believe it or not, I prefer non-X-rated material. I think it's because when I first began masturbating, there wasn't much porn available to me because of age restrictions. Now I find that the X-rated stuff causes me either to feel guilty or to climax too quickly. Usually, scenes where the actors are athletic, like the lifeguard girls on "Baywatch," or Christian Slater in "Gleaming the Cube," are particularly admirable.

In the beginning of "Jerry Maguire," the scene with Tom Cruise and his girlfriend is enough to make me squeal! The fact that the dog is sitting there watching makes it that much more delicious. When I get all excited and horny, I'm right there with Tom Cruise, and before long I'm in heaven!
- age 21, Michigan (female)
The best non-X-rated movie has to be "Wild Things," because it has a few scenes that have lesbian action with two girls kissing, and then a threesome with two girls and a guy. Both my girlfriend and I watched this movie, and we both got so horny from watching it that I masturbated her for the first time. That's why it's my favorite non-X-rated movie.
- age 18, New Jersey
I like the scene in "Top Gun" where Tom Cruise and Kelly McGillis are in bed. The passion they share, as they kiss each other while he's on top of her, is very exciting for me. I've used this fantasy many times. The song "Take My Breath Away" also brings this scene to mind.
- age 40, California (female)
The scene in "Cruel Intentions" where Sarah Michelle Gellar kisses the other girl. Seeing two girls kiss turns me on more than anything else. My last girlfriend was bisexual, and that turned me on to no end.
- age 19, Florida
That scene in "Fast Times At Ridgemont High," where Jennifer Jason Leigh is naked with Damone, is pretty hot.
- age 27, Pennsylvania
I like movies like "American Pie," – anything with a lot of skin.
- age 15, Utah
I usually masturbate to any movie that has nudity in it, but there is one movie that almost requires masturbation. The movie is "Play Time" – a story of two couples who rent a condo for a vacation. While the husbands are golfing, the wives talk about sex, masturbation, and voyeurism. The wives masturbate in front of each other, and then they masturbate in front of one husband, and it goes on from there. Not a great movie, but one that will get you to follow their lead.

Two words – "Basic Instinct"!
- age 18, Pennsylvania
Movies don't interest me much as far as masturbating is concerned. The scenes with erotic appeal are over before you get far enough into them to have a satisfying masturbation session. Porn movies may be exciting but don't seem to be about real people and are almost a turnoff. TV athletic events featuring well-conditioned bodies, such as track, volleyball, or basketball, are appealing for the beauty of form and lack of self-consciousness of the participants. (I'm mostly into watching women, but men also look good.) That to me is more interesting than movies.

My favorite non-X-rated movie scene is the part where the lady and the guy are having phone sex in "The Truth About Cats and Dogs." That scene gets me so aroused I have to masturbate while watching it!
- age 15, Florida (female)
So many movies, so little time... Jennifer Jason Lee in "Fast Times at Ridgemont High," Heather Graham with a chocolate bar in "Nowhere," Julianne Moore with no pants in "Short Cuts," Heather Graham with Julianne Moore in "Boogie Nights," and "The Lion King." Hey! Don't judge me, man!
- age 23, California
"The Little Mermaid," when she is just getting out of the water...she is so hot. Every once in a while you can see a nipple.
- age 16, Colorado
My vote would definitely be for the scene in "Basketball Diaries" when they are masturbating on the roof.
- age 27, Ohio
Gweneth Paltrow's nude scene in "Shakespeare In Love" always gets me going! She's so cute with that English accent!
- age 19, Pennsylvania
A good one is the scene in "Weird Science" where one of the boys wakes up in the morning wearing his girlfriend Lisa's blue bikini underwear. He has a long dialogue in the kitchen with his redneck brother, Chet, before he realizes what he's wearing.
- age 55, California
I don't know why, but I like to masturbate to "E. T." when his finger lights up. That just gives me an erection for some reason.
- age 12, Florida
I don't know if it counts, but what always gets my juices flowing is the scene in "9 1/2 Weeks" when Kim Bassinger masturbates. Mmmmm, yummy!
- age 37, California (female)
It's kinda weird, but my movie scene is in "Bram Stoker's Dracula." I kind of have a gothic fetish, so I like the scene where the naked vampire women start fondling and sucking on Keanu Reeves. I've had many orgasms watching that scene.
- age 13, Oregon
My personal choice is the opening scene of the French film "Betty Blue," starring the voluptuous Beatrice Dalle. It shows her making love on a bed with Jean-Hughes Anglade, for about four whole minutes. I've discussed it with a friend of mine who's seen it, and we think the two are really having sex. It certainly looks real; but if not, her orgasm is the most convincing fake orgasm in film history. I replay that one over and over!
- age 26, Florida
Many of the scenes (especially the opening scene) in the movie "Kids" turn me on. It's great to see kids about my age having sex, and I imagine myself in the guy's place.
- age 15, Massachusetts
My favorites are when a guy is masturbating and you can tell the actor totally knows how good it can feel! Three really good ones are: James Duval masturbating in the shower in "Nowhere" (fantasizing part of the time about Nathan Bexton), Joaquin Phoenix masturbating while he watches the TV weather woman in "To Die For," and Ryan Phillippe masturbating (no hands, face down on his bed) in "Little Boy Blue." Jeremy Davies also has some masturbation scenes in "Spanking the Monkey" (duh!) and "Going All the Way," but they're not as intense. And while it's not masturbation, it's still very hot in "Mad Love" when Chris O'Donnell portrays (or has?) a major orgasm while his girlfriend gives him oral sex on the garage floor. His abs go totally crazy when he climaxes.

I like the scene in "JawBreaker" when she makes him show her how to give him oral sex using a popsicle. Even though there is no nudity, it's awesome.
- age 17, Texas
I like the scene in the movie "Threesome" when the three youngsters involved in the story finally get laid all together. The scenario of the girl in the middle of the two naked male bodies, the two guys touching each other, ah... That totally turns me on. I have masturbated to that scene a couple of times.
- age 39, Argentina
My favorite movie scene is in "Kids." Later in the movie when there is a party, the boy who is about 14 years old is lying on the couch, and his girlfriend is kissing his belly and stuff. We don't see what they do next, but I can imagine!
- age 15, New York
I love to think about the scene in "Jason's Lyric" when the two lovers make love for the first time in a grassy field and flowers spring up around them. It's a very erotic scene, one to which I love masturbating.
