While watching two drugged-out teens lick their way to the bottom of the porn industry is fun, watching two “legitimate” actresses getting it on for art’s sake has its own perverse charm.

Hey you guys are clever and smart, right? I can tell by the way you give us sass in the comments sections on the site. Well we need your help to make Screen Junkies an even more enthralling experience.

I was inspired to come up with a list of on-screen erections. It’s a dirty job, but someone has to do it. At least that’s what my editor said in a threatening tone.
