I think its not, there are many people around you, cameramens, directors and more, its too shy to make it real. ---

> [@Acsenray](#): > > And even if they appear mostly naked the actors are often wearing nearly invisible crotch covers. In most shots they can actually wear some kinds of underwear. I saw that in that scene in Buffy, where Buffy and Spike had all night wild sex in a derelict house. When they wake up and talk, you can see a glimpse of the nude colored speedo worn by the actor playing Spike. ---

I’m sorry but I can’t remember the film or the actors, but I do remember the quote where the actor (both he and the actress are famous), said to the actress as he was getting into bed with her for a sex scene, “One of two things is going to happen. I apologise in advance for either of them.” ---

Ah, for the good ol’ days when all we needed was a post-coital scene of Fred MacMurray and Barbara Stanwick, both fully dressed, and him lighting two cigarettes and handing her one. ---

Oh, there’s no real sex in any film. Even hardcore porn: CGI. Some of it quite badly done! ---

Reportedly, the sex between Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger in the remake of “The Getaway” was real. FWIW, they were husband and wife at the time. ---

I’ve had actual sex once or twice (I know! Crazy!) and just having an erection near a vagina isn’t really enough for actual penetration. At least mine doesn’t just move by itself looking for a target without my consent. ---

> [@Aji\_de\_Gallina](#): > > I remember once watvhing some sort of documentary (on HBO or something) about makle porn actors and how hard it was to get “good ones”. > They had a scene with the casting crew and aside from looking good, the first thing they had to do was to masturbate in front of the three casting guys, 4 camera/sound guys and maybe 2 other people. They had porn mag and even a couple of chicks fondling eacht other but most of them just couldn’t come. > It was funny and sad seeing them jerk off like their dicks were goign to come of but still, the filling didn’t come out of the churro. > when they had their three guys tehy went into a “hands on” session. Four or five naked chicks, kissing and fondling and they guys had to “go in” but 2 of them went limp after 30 seconds. > Apparently, being a top porn guy is very difficult and the cating director said that was why it was always they same guys with tons of new women. Wouldn’t it be as simple as popping a viagra now? ---

When they wake up and talk, you can see a glimpse of the nude colored speedo worn by the actor playing Spike. For the women out there, there is footage of him on set wearing that thing. Search for “buffy dailies” on Youtube. “Dailies” are the raw, unedited footage of actors performing on set. There are dailies on Youtube from some various Buffy episodes including that one. There’s a movie called “Sexual Predator” where you can see Angie Everhart wearing a “vag patch” in a sex scene. ---

Porn has been around a lot longer than CGI. “Behind the Green Door” was pretty much for real; there was no way to fake it with CGI. Ditto all the other porn that was made before CGI. ---

> [@Acsenray](#): > > Most interviews I’ve heard with actors who have been in nude scenes say that the circumstances are usually not conducive to becoming aroused. You’re surrounded by people and hot lights, people are working, there are frequent stoppages, there’s the pressure and concentration on producing a good performance, peopel kep giving you directions, etc. So… how is that not normal? 🆒 ---
