Hurts so good: Best teen sex of the '80s

16candles Teen sex -- what could be funnier? Maxim Magazine -- I only read it for the scholarly articles -- has published its list of the funniest sex comedy moments in movie history. And wouldn't you know it, the '80s dominated the list.

SIXTEEN CANDLES: So many scenes to choose from, but Maxim went with the "underwear exhibition" moment. (Pop quiz: How much did the freshmen have to pay to see Sam's panties?)

FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH: The greatest fantasy in Brad's life -- Phoebe Cates dropping her bikini top -- turns to his biggest moment of shame. (Hell, if Maxim was on the ball, they could do a whole list of "caught whacking" scenes.)

WEIRD SCIENCE: Gary and Wyatt -- jeans on -- get all clean with Lisa. "If you ever get the chance, shower with them. I did. Mmm, it's a mindscrambler. Hurts so good."

REVENGE OF THE NERDS: Louis refuses to remove his Darth Vader-ish mask when going zero-gravity with Betty in the carnival's Moon Walk attraction. (Hello, is there a rape counselor in the house?)

PORKY'S: Ah yes, the greatest six words in '80s comedy history: "Why do they call you Lassie?"

Maxim's non-'80s picks were good too: Road Trip, American Pie and Van Wilder. ("We bumped uglies. It was the best ten seconds ever. Ever!")

What other great '80s teen sex comedy moments are they forgetting?

i know i'm late to the party, but i have to agree with dave. blame it on rio is a hilarious movie, with great b@@bage. michael caine is great, as usual. i own the movie on dvd. on ocassion i'll pull it out and watch the flick. it holds up pretty well, caine is stil hilarious and the aforementioned scenes are still good. a pre-surgery and ashton demi moore is in it, she's ok. who would've thought she would become the preeminent actress of this time period, or the actress that had more success into the 90s.

Valley Girl had a good scene when at the party Randy was in the upstairs bedroom with Julie (EG Daily). Nice boob shot there. When it came out on video I used to freeze frame that all the time.

Nothing can get me sweatin' like a race horse than Doris Day getting down on Rock Hudson. Too bad they had their clothes on back then. I guess it prevented an unwanted pregnancy.

With the movies already mentioned it is very hard to come up with another teen sex movie scene from the 80's. After all there are so many good scenes in the movies mentioned I do not think any other ones can really compare. One of the funniest almost sex scenes from the 80's is not from a teen movie. I am talking about Raiders of the Lost Ark when both Ford and Allen are on the boat and Indy is complaining about being in pain. So she asks where doesn't it hurt and so on. The next scene with Allen is her waking up with a smile and grabbing her nighty (which looks great on the boat with the wind blowing on her.)
Also Indy getting hit with the mirror adds to the humor as well.
There was also a scene in Better off Dead that should be mentioned when there is a station wagon in the dark and even though you only see the car, you know that they did the deed when she complained that the rubber broke and he offered to buy a new one.

Rick

Pointless trivia alert: In college I worked in a dorm with the blond kid just below and to the right of Samantha's underpants in the above photo.

Back then I was horribly jealous of his fleeting but permanently recorded proximity to the great one, John Hughes.

Still am.

Troy

Have we already forgotten Karen Kaye stealing night-time nude swims in her employer's pool in "My Tutor"? Bobby was a lucky student. Trivia: Ms. Kaye went on to get a doctorate in Psychology (really). No word on how Bobby turned out.

And who can forget "Hardbodies"? Purely for it's statement on American social and business morals, of course.

Back in the days of getting HBO with a coffee can mounted on the side of the house I, as a teen, watched 'Blame it on Rio' whenever possible. I loved it back then and, now that I'm older I wish I was Michael Cain. This movie gets no love. Why not?

politically incorrect

"Spring Break" was the best ever! The movie was my guide book to spring break in daytona when I went down a few years later!

"Losin' it"! would have been good but loses points because Tom Cruise and Shelly Long were in it.

Miguel

Not a big surprise there Spearsy.We know your love for that flick.

I was forgetting "Class" that 1983 little gem. Virginia Madsen`s b@@b popping for example.

"Risky Business". "Joel,get off the babysitter."

Spears

I realize I'm predictable in my love for "Last American Virgin," but I still can't get enough of the scene where they approach the pharmacist for crab medicine.

Miguel

I`m remembering a couple of good Betsy Russell moments in Private School.
