I don't see any reason why you have to comply with the popular concensus.
We're talking about *your* Top-Ten, right? As far as I am concerned, I
found the movie disgusting and dirty, despite the fact that it was one
of the very first sex movies I have seen in my life. Maybe the movie is
not bad (I mean it does have artistic values), but the sex scenes
are too much specific and look like tortures. I admit that it was
controversial by revealing many sex taboos in Japan, but it simply
didn't work for me.

In this aspect, I prefer "Lady Chatterley's Lover". But altogether it's
really difficult for me to set up any Top-Ten erotic movies, since
I never get interested in it. BTW, I guess we need to have a clear
definition of "erotic movies", since there are thousands and thousands
trashy movies out there that simply exploit eroticism, exploit our
unsuspected eyes and unconcious brains. It seems to me that they can't
sell a movie these days without some nude scenes featuring some sex
bombs (Sharon Stone, Kim Basinger, Demi Moore, and the list goes on).
I hate them all! (strictly my personal taste.)

FYI, the famous song in "9 1/2 Weeks" was sung by Joe Cocker (I think
the title was "You Can Leave Your Hat On"). I remember watching the
video clip of this song on Hungarian TV many times which features some
footage from the well-known striptease scene in the movie.
