Actors having sex

From modesty patches to prosthetic genitals, the erotic scenes you see on screen are more like choreographed performances than actual sex. The whole thing is just wrong. The very last thing it is is sexy. The only person to seemingly admit sex scenes can actually be, well, sexy is Amanda Seyfried. A lot of my costars have been sexy guys my age, and so, why not? Although both Sienna Miller and Hayden Christensen have denied having real sex in the movie Factory Girl , about Andy Warhol muse Edie Sedgwick, rumors still circulate about the film.

The experimental movie is about a motorcycle racer Gallo who is haunted by tragic memories of a former girlfriend Sevigny , but it's most known for that scene and its reception at the Cannes Film festival more on that later. Gallo, who also wrote and directed the movie, told Film Freak Central that he pitched the project to Sevigny with whom he'd had a previous relationship of sorts by saying, "Remember that night in Paris when I did that thing to you but you didn't do it to me because you weren't so into it? Well, you might have to do that. On film. That Sevigny agreed to be in a sure-to-be-notorious scene was surprising, considering that she was a well-known, Academy Award—nominated actor, but she stood by her decision over a decade later. It was a risk.

Working as an actor requires being open to some wild things. Having to film a love scene can give even the most courageous and reputable actors some stage fright. But imagine if you had to do it for real? I mean, full on penetrative intercourse.

Here's the thing. People have sex. Movies have sex scenes.
