Denise Richards, who turned 52 on February 17, has advised her children to avoid watching her provocative performance in the film, even when they reach an appropriate age.

The erotic scenes featuring Denise Richards in Wild Things left a lasting impression on numerous teenagers during the late 1990s.

However, she is determined to make sure her teenage kids don't get to watch the erotic scenes.

The 52-year-old actress, born on February 17th, revealed that she has prohibited her three children from watching the 1998 erotic thriller and instructed them, "I don't want you guys to see this!"

In the cult classic directed by John McNaughton, Denise plays Kelly Lanier Van Ryan, a rich young woman who teams up with Suzie Toller (Neve Campbell) and Sam Lombardo (Matt Dillon) to extort money from her own mother.

The film is full of action, but for many viewers, two specific sequences are especially noteworthy.

In a scene that stands out, she starts a physical altercation with Suzie in a swimming pool, which concludes with the two of them disrobing and sharing a passionate kiss.

Surprisingly, it's not even the most explicit scene in the movie.

In another sexually explicit scene, Denise and her friend engage in a kinky threesome with Sam, kissing both of them.

In this scene, Denise appears topless, revealing her bare chest.

However, despite her role, the actress from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills stated to Yahoo Lifestyle that her three daughters, Sami (18), Lola (17), and Eloise (11), are prohibited from watching the movie.

"I just said, 'I would appreciate it if you didn't watch it'. It's not age appropriate and it was a movie I did, it was a script I loved, it's me being creative," Denise said.

"I definitely did not give them a copy (of the film). I told them, "I don't want you guys watching this'."

Denise appeared frequently on the top 100 sexiest women lists of glossy men's magazines in the years following the movie's release, demonstrating the lasting impression of those scenes.

Years later, in an uncommon case of life imitating art, Denise engaged in a real-life same-sex encounter.

During an interview with The Howard Stern Show in 2011, Denise revealed that the person with whom she had the encounter was another celebrity, whom she described as gorgeous and "a girly girl," without disclosing her identity.

"I just met her through friends and work and stuff… I was just curious. We were curious," Denise told Stern on the radio show.

Some may find Denise's stance on her children viewing her film surprising, considering that she recently joined OnlyFans with her daughter Sami, where she frequently showcases her breasts and buttocks.

Charlie Sheen, the father of her two oldest children, is Denise's ex-husband.

In November 2006, the couple separated after four years of marriage.
