If you are up for some movies where sexual practices deviate from the normal, here we have gathered certain films which are bound to meet your expectations. The practice of rough sex, or what is popularly known as BDSM (bondage-domination-sadomasochism), is prevalent throughout the world but never spoken of much in public. In such cases, people derive pleasure from pain. With all that said, here’s the list of really good BDSM movies on Netflix that are available to stream right now:
6. Gerald’s Game (2017)
One of the best horror films in recent years, ‘Gerald’s Game‘ shines not because of the horror itself, but because of its deep psychological implications. The film centers around a woman called Jessie who goes to a country house with her husband Gerald to spend a few days together away from their busy lives. Gerald has always wanted to fulfill his rape fantasy, and thus ties up Jessie for some rough sex. However, Jessie is against this, but plays along for a while. When she ultimately cannot bear with it anymore, the couple start arguing and Gerald dies of a heart attack, leaving Jessie handcuffed to the bedpost. Jessie is threatened by strange visions of her present and past while trying to break free from the handcuffs. The film pans out in a solid way to ultimately reveal the reason behind Jessie’s reluctance to play along with her husband. The film does a fantastic job of capturing the horrors from a person’s past. It has a strikingly unique poignant tone that you can never find in any horror film.
