When it comes to filming sex scenes for TV shows and movies, actors have had a variety of good and bad experiences.
Intimacy coordinator Brooke M. Haney previously opened up to Us Weekly about how filming steamy scenes between actors goes down on set. Contrary to what some fans may think, Haney said that it isn’t “very common” for actors to get aroused while filming sex scenes.
“We’re at work, right? With the lights bearing down, microphones, a couple of cameras in your face, director, DP [director of photography] and other necessary crew watching on monitors, it’s just not that sexy,” she exclusively shared with Us in 2024.
However, “Sometimes bodies have physiological responses that are outside of our control,” she noted. “When that does happen, I tell the actor to do a few push-ups or some jumping jacks. That moves the blood to a different location and we’re all good.”
