Netflix fans left shocked by X-rated movie that's '80% sex' but claim it's still 'worth watching'
Netflix fans have been left stunned after stumbling across an X-rated movie that's '80 percent sex' but claim it's still 'worth watching'.
Since landing on the streaming platform, the raunchy Brazilian movie shot to the top of its trending list and has apparently been leaving some Netflix viewers a bit hot and bothered.
It's not the first time something incredibly risqué has blown up on the platform, after all, one such erotic film series coveted the honor of receiving zero per cent on Rotten Tomatoes on all three of its movies, while another series about the 'godfather of rough sex' left viewers 'sickened'.
However, while viewers have said the movie is jam-packed with sex scenes galore - to the point they say it's borderline 'soft porn perfect', as per one reviewer on Rotten Tomatoes - they think it's worth a watch.

"Every second, people are without underwear, no story, nothing except sex," said another on social media.
"If you like looking at naked or near naked bodies, of both genders, there are plenty of scenes to choose from. Inevitably all the actors have impeccable physiques and the sex scenes do show some imagination in terms of activities and positioning," said a third. "It couldn't really have got more explicit without having to be differently categorised.
"I got the impression that the sex scenes were really the driving force for the narrative," they concluded.
Based on these reviews, it's clear to see why the movie, Burning Betrayal, has been compared to other NSFW classics, like Fifty Shades of Grey and Sex/Life.
You can watch the trailer here:
The story, adapted from Sue Hecker's provocative novel, O Lado Bom de Ser Traída (which roughly translates to 'The Good Side of Being Betrayed') is set in São Paulo and follows that of an accountant, Babi (played by Giovanna Lancellotti).
After learning of her fiancé’s infidelity before their wedding, viewers are treated to Babi's journey of revenge - or self-empowerment - as she joins a bike club, dyes her hair dark and crosses paths with Marco, who she nicknames 'the hot judge.'
It then reveals she's swept into a 'torrid affair,' and apparently wall-to-wall steamy scenes from kitchen counters to beaches and biking action scenes in between.
The 2023 release currently has an impressive Rotten Tomatoes rating of 87 per cent, with dozens confessing to have watched it several times.
"Burning Betrayal is 80 per cent sex and 9 per cent plot," said one, while another added: "Just two people riding motorcycles and having sex. Did I watch it five times? You bet I did."
Others also found the movie to cheer on female empowerment in sex and commented on the 'powerful chemistry' between the cast and its 'impeccable script.'
"I loved it, Babi charmed me with her awakening, she got out of a bad relationship and made lemonade out of lemons," said one, who added it was great to see 'women are discovering themselves sexually and talking about sex is not so taboo.'
"The sex scenes were hot without being vulgar, the quality of Brazilian films is standing out more and more. It leaves nothing to be desired compared to the American ones, I loved it, dreaming of a part 2," they added.
"What powerful chemistry!!!" wrote another. "The impeccable script, the action scenes on two wheels and the suspense that makes the viewer hold their breath... It's so good! I already want to - and will - watch it again!"
