D.E.B.S. is a campy spy-spoof that is best described as being light-hearted and very funny. In this flick, the main villainess Lucy Diamond is older than the young top-secret agent Amy. Their romance is depicted to be hilarious and very sweet, often to an over-the-top degree. This movie doesn’t take itself seriously at all. It is a cartoonish spy-flick with a basis in lesbian pulp fiction. The largest point of interest is the large age difference between villainess Diamond and hero nemesis Amy. Diamond is the super-villain to Amy’s heroic side. It is a very enjoyable movie and a lot of fun. The chemistry between the leads is excellent and has helped the film to earn a cult-like following.

Exploring BDSM themes in anime can be a wild ride, especially when series blend psychological depth with audacious storytelling. 'Nana to Kaoru' stands out for its surprisingly tender take on the dynamic between two childhood friends navigating dominance and submission. It’s less about shock value and more about trust and emotional vulnerability—something I didn’t expect going in. Then there’s 'Perfect Blue,' which isn’t strictly BDSM but uses power dynamics in a chilling psychological thriller format. The way it twists perception and control left me gripping my seat.
For something more overt, 'Kite Liberator' dives into darker territories with its assassin protagonist and morally ambiguous relationships. It’s gritty and unapologetic, though not everyone’s cup of tea. What fascinates me is how these series often use BDSM as a lens to explore broader themes like agency or trauma, rather than just titillation. If you’re curious, approach with an open mind—some moments are uncomfortable, but that’s part of their raw appeal.

I have a bit of a confession to make: if you want to watch a film about love, you should watch ‘Paddington 2’. Now, I know what you’re thinking – Paddington 2 is not a romantic film. And you’re right, it’s not. The entire emotional engine of the film is based around the pure, devoted, supportive love of Paddington (the bear) for Mr. Brown and their community. We get to see how Henry Brown, the father of Mrs. Brown, is influenced by Paddington’s presence and how that love transforms him and brings more joy and connection into his life. It’s a great film about love and how it can break down walls and bring together all sorts of different people to become one big, warm and fuzzy family. It’s kind of the platonic version of the ‘third who heals and unites’ trope often found in romantic films.

Wow! Just listing out those titles makes me want to go watch them all! So if you’re looking for something intimate and real, I recommend starting with The Duke of Burgundy, followed by The Handmaiden, a beautiful and twisty thriller. Then there’s Gone Girl, a classic psychological thriller and a big hit. Last but not least, there’s The Love Witch, a campy and stylized retro adventure. The 4 main styles of erotic cinema are The Heartfelt, The Cinematic, The Popular, and The Quirky. So depending on which of these styles resonates with you the most, you can then go and search for more examples of that style within The Heartfelt, etc.
Many great films of this nature are not in English and can be found with subtitles. Not every category has 100 great films, so even if a film does not completely fill out every category listed above, it can still be worth watching for that one strong element in relation to the film’s other primary purposes.

Someone mentioned Urotsukidoji: Legend of the Overfiend (the classic extreme anime with tons of bondage and tentacles). That’s a sort of extreme classic. It’s not really a normal series (it’s a bunch of OVA movies), but it is worth watching as a sort of historical curiosity. Most of the plots are messed up in extreme ways. I didn’t find it enjoyable to watch, but it’s a sort of landmark of sorts for extreme anime, so I’d recommend it to anyone who wants to know where a lot of these very extreme plot devices and elements came from. It’s not for everyone, but it is a piece of anime history, for better or worse.

ColorLES wrote the webcomic ‘Mage & Demon Queen’ and it’s been super popular both as a webcomic and as an ebook on Kindle. The fantasy RPG parody follows the chase of the horny Demon Queen by a female mage in a gloriously chaotic and sweet way. It’s a different kind of ‘popular’ to the traditional novels, and really, really resonates with online fandom, particularly as it’s written in a humorous, meta way that really seems to sit well with the kind of stories typically found in webcomics and webnovels that get adapted to Kindle.
What this also shows, is that ‘popular’ is no longer just defined by the traditional prose novel. The serialized digital stories online can and do create massive fanbases, which will just as easily switch to purchasing a Kindle edition of the story. The humor and the ways in which it subverts particular tropes can be incredibly fresh and very much in touch with current online fandom.

I picked ‘Wave, Listen to Me!’, a workplace drama with supernatural elements, as it is a hidden gem. A loud and boorish waitress accidentally gets hired for a late-night radio show after a night of heavy drinking and actually turns out to be great at it. The show looks at the crazy mayhem of working in live radio and the burnout of creating something new while also exploring career change in your late 20s. The protagonist, Minare, is an amazing, adult, woman – flawed, fierce and passionate. It’s really sharp, funny and has loads of heart.

A particular niche theme that comes to mind is 'Valkyrie Drive: Mermaid'. Although the title is mentioned, I want to clarify that it is on the more explicit end of the ecchi spectrum. However, if you’re interested in reading more web novels that are focused on storytelling rather than shock value, while still delving into the power dynamics between a captive and master in a fantasy world, then ‘That Prince Is A Girl: The Vicious King's Captive Slave Mate’ would be a good choice to look into. The psychological dynamic between the two characters is what drives the story and has a lot of complex, interesting moments.

Rules that look like they’re for the Dominant’s benefit but are actually secret care for them? I was initially going to say that “you must eat three meals a day” looks like control but is actually care, but that would be a poor flip into a rule that looks like control but is actually good for the Dominant. Instead, here are a few examples of rules that look like control but actually force the Dominant to be vulnerable: “You must tell me one fear each week,” “You must make sure that I get plenty of rest,” “You must delegate one task to me daily.” The dynamic looks like one-way obedience but is actually mutually supportive and healing. I think this is more common in real-life dynamics than we see in fiction, and it’s really quite beautiful.

The world of BDSM erotica has seen huge growth recently and I have fallen in love with several recent releases. Alessandra Hazard’s Straight Guys series has some of the most deliciously slow tension in exploring a gay awakening, while CJ Roberts’ Dark Duet series is a deeply emotional read – often dark, but always cathartic in the end. For something completely different, historical combined with modern kink, I recently read Annabel Joseph’s Comfort Object, set in Victorian times and exploring the repression of the era with the modern kink of power exchange. What unites these books is that they make power exchanges feel deeply personal rather than purely performative.
