The lesbian makeout is a time-honored tradition in cinema. Women kissing romantically onscreen dates all the way back to the pre-code film Queen Christina in 1933 starring Greta Garbo. Since then women kissing each other on camera has had ebbs and flows - with notable increases in lesbian makeouts in the 90s with famous scenes in Wild Things and Cruel Intentions. Those were the lesbian kisses of previous generations.
But what about this generation?
Gen Z is here and they are making and watching content. According to new media, Gen Z seems to be very into lesbian relationships in TV shows and movies. These scenes prove that! So here are the lesbian makeouts for the next generation, complete with rising stars who will become household names.
grown-ish
grown-ish has been on the air since 2018 after it spun-off from black-ish, following one of the daughters into college. Her antics have gotten sexy and her friend group has grown which is why we came to watch Tara Raani and Wilder Yari lock lips in a recent episode. This makeout is hot for the way in which one gal is pulling the other to her by the shirt. Aggressive, passionate, and so sapphically sexy!
Marry F*** Kill
This is a fun hidden gem from Canadian director Caroline Labreche. This film is a sendup to old-school horror films as it takes a twisted look at the classic social game: marry, f***, kill. In this game? People actually get killed. Well, young actresses Cynthia Jimenez and Deanna Jarvis are killing it with their very sensual makeout. After watching this scene, I'd f*** these two!
The Hunt
Spanish Netflix is HOT for young people right now. Just look at Elite for evidence. The Hunt is another series that has Spaniards getting turned on with this thriller set in the Pyrenees. Some girls go missing in the mountains and mystery is afoot, but it's no mystery that Maria Mercado and Zoe Stein have obvious chemistry when they passionately kiss.
The Sex Lives of College Girls
This HBO show was very funny, but it didn't last long. It was filled with actual sex scenes from a group of college girls who were exploring their newfound independence and sexuality (including Timothee Chalamet's sister!). Midori Francis and Reneé Rapp play the lesbian couple who do more than Netflix and Chill. In one hot scene they makeout in bed and Midori slides her hand down Rene's pants. We know what'll happen next!
The Afterparty
This AppleTV show is a delight. The murder mystery comedy tells a story from multiple people's perspectives. Not to give anything away, but two of the ladies in the most recent season have a secret and that secret is each other. Rising star Poppy Liu who makes us LOL on Hacks and PEN15 creator and star Anna Konkle make a natural couple when we finally see them play tonsil hockey.
Yellowjackets
If you know any queer women in their early 20s, then you know that they love Yellowjackets. This intense thriller of a show follows a high school soccer team who get stranded in the woods where supernatural elements seem to be taking place. Athletic young women alone together in the woods? Oh, you know they are going to hook up! That's what Jasmin Savoy Brown and Liv Hewson do, to critical acclaim.
You can see why they have award shows and critics talking here:
