Now don't get me wrong here. The purpose for this thread is absolutely not to titilate, but to have a genuine discussion for what makes a great sex scene, or rather your favorites. That's not to say, what got you the hottest, rather to say which you believe is the most powerful. I'll go. Spoilers, of course, follow:
A History of Violence
The two contrasting scenes of sex between Tom and Edie Stall are among the most brilliantly executed I've seen. There is a true, animalistic difference in the sexuality, the Tom/Joey duality. But it speaks to Edie. You can see it, you can totally see it as he starts to stop and she pulls him back. The ravishing on the staircase just blew me away. How 'bout that.
Traffic
I think the scene where Erika Christensen's character has sex with her heroin supplier is sad and incredibly well filmed.

I was always a fan of the sex scene in Coyote Ugly
Though there wasn't much shown (a little extra in the D.C.) I still thought it was a very well done scene...

“Catherine Tramell” in Basic Instinct 1992, played by Sharon Stone, what a twisted bitch she is.

The kitchen scene in "The Postman Always Rings Twice".
The staircase scene in "A History of Violence".
Two very intense sequences.

The "cat" scene in "Killing Me Softly"

Rosemary's Baby - Mia Farrow & the Devil getting it on is really disturbing.
Titanic - NOBODY can forget the damn hand on the window shot... that was some hot stuff.
Brokeback Mountain - Shocked most of the audience with the gritty first sex scene. I can't think of a recent time I've heard more people in the audience gasp in surprise.

Great list! I love how only one is a traditional romantic Hollywood type scene.

"You like gettin' nailed by the king [of real estate]?"
This has to be one of the funniest lines I've ever heard. That Annette Bening replies with "Oh yes, I love it," an extremely banal reponse, and quickly following that with "f*ck me, your majesty," a decidedly non-banal statement, is even funnier. What a terrific script.

Should I be surprised that the scenes burned into my mind are those I saw at an inappropriate age?

Re: The best sex scenes in movies
The Terminator has my endorsement as well.
I didn't mind the sex scene in Gorky Park either - I was watching it on TV and was momentarily stunned when you could see her pubic hair (nicely trimmed too! ) not to mention the full frontal nudity. In a rare case of selective memory, I don't recall how much of William Hurt was on the screen. This was back in the late '80s, on either the CTV or CBC networks. Ah yes, back in the good old days when Canadian television was almost never censored and no one gave a damn, because we all knew it didn't matter.
Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. This made him...a super-callused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.
