While you might associate the best Hong Kong films with acclaimed directors such as Wong Kar-wai and John Woo, Hong Kong filmmakers have never shied away from producing raunchier flicks (though they have nothing on what really happens in Hong Kong’s BDSM scene).First appearing in the 1960s, Hong Kong’s X-rated films peaked in popularity during the 1990s (following the establishment of the notorious Category III rating). While the 2000s saw Hongkongers gain an unparalleled level of access to adult material online (see: How Hongkongers use Pornhub), notable erotic films have kept coming, including ‘the world’s first 3D erotic movie’, 3D Sex and Zen, and more. With so many to choose from, here’s our pick for Hong Kong’s top 12 sexiest movies. RECOMMENDED: Want more steamy flicks? Check out this list of Asian erotic films, or if it’s romance you’re after, check out Hong Kong’s best romcoms or these romantic films on Netflix.

Hong Kong has a fantastic public transport system, including a fleet of approximately 18,000 taxis ferrying citizens around at a relatively affordable rate – though the one complaint that taxis garner the most is that the majority still only accept cash payments. Luckily, Hong Kong fintech company Wonder, a subsidiary of Bindo Labs, has won approval from the Transport Department to install its system in local taxis so they can finally accept digital payments. Taxi Pay x Wonder, called Taxi Pay for short, is a system that allows users to choose from 18 types of digital payment. Just like any other form of digital payment these days, users can expect to either scan a QR code or tap cards on a payment terminal. Passengers paying via UnionPay can enjoy a 10 percent discount on their fare, and will have the handling fee waived for two months, while Alipay users should take note of a 3.5 percent handling fee. Visa, MasterCard, JCB, WeChat Pay, Discover, Diners, and FPS users can enjoy a waived handling fee until June 30, with a possibility of extension to the end of the year. Of course, this new tool will be rolled out gradually, and Wonder is offering to install their smart taximeters and smart payment terminals for free for the first 2,000 taxis to sign up for the platform. The plan is for Taxi Pay to be installed in 8,000 cabs by this December.

Forget Fifty Shades of Grey, the East's own cinematic erotica offers a treasure trove of films that span various unconventional topics and underline each country's attitude towards sex, sexuality, and taboos. With plots that range from the mystical, sinister, and sometimes humorous to the completely bizarre, you'll surely find something that will ignite your repressed carnal desires. And since these films are made locally, it eschews the somewhat offensive Western fantasy that is commonly projected to this side of the world.  Aside from Hong Kong's sensual offering to the film industry, let us take you to Taiwan, Japan, Korea, the Philippines, and Thailand through this list of Asian erotica that should be on your radar.   RECOMMENDED: Change up what's on your screen with this list of the most controversial Hong Kong films of the last decade.
