I recently watched the abysmally bad episode of \*Inside the Actor’s Studio \*in which James Lipton interviews the master thespian Jennifer Aniston. While she has no discernable personality to speak of, she did have a funny line about filming sex scenes. She referred to the use of a pillow to keep the naughty bits from coming into contact, and said she didn’t like to use them because they make the guy’s butt look unnaturally higher than it should be. Then she said, trying to be circumspect about the reason for the pillow, “it goes down when the camera stops rolling, anyway”. The audience howled. ---

> [@Muffin](#): > > After he murdered his wife’s lover, in the 1880s Muybridge made a lot of zoopraxiscope moving pictures of naked women, naked men, and naked animals (e.g. naked women dancing together, naked men wrestling together, and naked animals just being themselves). In 1893 he charged admission to audiences, making the worlds first cinema a nudie cinema. Yay Eadward! Naked animals? WHY THAT’S JUST GOING TOO FAR! 😛 ---

> [@NineToTheSky](#): > > 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.” George C. Scott is commonly reported to have told an actress before a sex scene, “I apologize if I get an erection, and I apologize if I don’t.” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/are-some-sex-scenes-in-movies-real/599680.md?page=4)
