Anime with Adult Sexual Themes?

I'm always on the lookout for what is easily a rarity within all anime since its inception, being anime that has prominent themes of sex and sexuality that aren't merely symbolic or are limited by the massive trope of abstinence and "volcelism" (prominent in 99% of ecchi for example). There could very possibly be less than 10 of these in history; I wouldn't be surprised by this.

To clarify, I'm looking for anime with good story where the characters ACTUALLY TOUCH EACH OTHER. They don't even have to bone. Like even just fooling around or kissing or, SOMETHING. As a lifelong anime fan, the fact that barely of this is found in it always killed me. Like it doesn't even have to be the whole point of the show- I'm just looking for an anime where there's a fair amount of romance that isn't blighted by the typical anime erotophobia that has every ecchi protag terrified of intimacy, or any other show where literally everyone is perpetually single and abstinent for no apparent reason, etc.

Some anime that fit the bill for me in this way were the Zero no Tsukiyama series' (the two protags were dating and actually made out), Beastars (dripping with sexual frustration that was celebrated rather than swept under the rug)... I GUESS School Days? (even though that was a borderline hentai). Maybe sorta kinda. God, I can't even think of any others right now. Even good anime that ACKNOLEDGES characters being intimate with each other without showing it helps me to feel like its more realistic and helps me feel less infantilized-- Some Gundam series were like this if I recall.

I'm aware that what I'm looking for essentially goes against what anime is and has been forever, which is a medium founded on the strange sexual conservatism of Japan where its okay to display sexuality in a lot of ways but not actual sexual practice. So it's why we got shows like Franxx where these characters are CLEARLY doing eachother symbolically but, not literally. OH. I just remembered two of the characters in that show actually banged. So that show gets credit from me. More of that.

Anyway end weird rant. Anybody know what I'm lookin for here? Thanks in advance.

I actually did enjoy domestic girlfriend for a while even though it was pretty cheesy but the sexuality in it was pretty fun. And I coincidentally just started scums wish and kind of like it. I'll look at the other titles, thanks.

Mascimus I'll also check out your thread that'll be a good read thanks.

Edit: omgod I loooved kissxsis. Was so hot. I saw the whole series and then I guess I got tired of waiting several months between the ovas. I wonder if they've still been coming out with them in the last several years.

I know it's kinda weird to recommend your fav anime but... I would recommend Devilman Crybaby. It is very graphic btw. When the manga came out in 1972 It kinda shocked a bit the anime scene at the time cause the creator was clearly pushing the boundaries. It was his intention tho.

Yeah I've seen Devilman crybaby and it's pretty great. I actually knew about it cuz of some of the other things that director did in the past. Loved when Devilman got so horny he "destroyed" the ceiling

Watching Mnemosyne now and I'm loving it. It's got a really great retro feel cuz of the 90s soundtrack and a great English dub, the kind where it sounds natural enough that you forget it's a dub. Good recommend.

Will do devils line next.
