New thread - Sex scenes in films - How do they stay flaccid?

mang87

so im watching underworld evolution, and micheal and kate beck are doing it in the trailer(how inappropriate)... And looking at them, it is quite obvious he must have some sort of erectile dysfunction because there is nothing happening down there obviously.

How theeee hell does he manage not to... stand to attention? Celotape? Barbed wire? Someone as hot as Kate Beckinsale, underneath you, nakid, writhing... Even thinking about it gets the juices flowing, amirite?

I have searched the ineternet looking for answers, and all I have found are homoerotic porn sites >: (

Creamy Goodness

he whacks off once/twice/n times before shooting the scene.

Thrill

Jerked off before doing the scene probably.

what age are you?

Seriously, sex scenes in movies are supposed to be horrifically unsexy for the actors.

Not much of a turn on or fun having a bunch of crew watching you writhe naked with your co star (especially as the director happens to be kates husband)

I still say he whacked one off before the scene. Theres no need to take chances. The one eyed snake has a life of its own. You never can tell when he'll decide to let you down, or up for that matter.

They use flesh coloured tape to strap it down, and things called chastity cushions for the humping bits:)

Why yes I can see you getting so turned on just you Kate, several thousand kilowatts of lights all around, about 12 gaffers and some sparks (think two football teams of fat overweight electricans, leaning on equipment and staring at you) a camera crew, a sound guy fiddling with your mike, a director talking about blocking the scene, your dialogue running through your head, and a couple of make up artists and wardrobe types fluttering all over you.

Oh yeah, thats the kind of situation that turns me on.

(Me I'm kinky like that)

Gosh that happens to you too? I'm always logging on and accidently stumbling across gay porn, and accidently typing in my credit card details....

Definitely beats soft lighting and a bottle of chianti :rolleyes:

Sex scenes are not filmed with a full crew present, only the actors needed and the cameraman and director are there as a rule. Still a stiffy would be rare enough as the environment is still pretty alien and awkward.

DemonOfTheFall

They must whack one off before a scene, even with all the other reasons why they shouldn't need to. It'd be impossible not to get to at least half-mast otherwise

in saying that... i worked on a budget film where the actor was "aroused". My mate was the sound man in the room next door and almost had his ear drums burst when he heard this loud scream from the actress when she saw it!!

seemingly it rubbed off her! lol

Most big budget movies use body doubles for the sexy scenes.

This is correct, I wasn't allowed to set for a sex scence with Kiera Knightly, as much as I wanted to Some SFX Jackass was allowed in though cause he had to make 'smoke', the dickhead.

They just think about something totally not sexy.
Like Tara Reid's breasts for example.

I've always wondered that too... Someone said in an interview that they were full-body suits and that they look anything but sexy IRL, but i don't believe that........

So is the woman supposed to be more insulted if the guy did get a hardon, or if he didn't get one?

It was never funny.

I am unsure of the actor now. It was someone like Richard Harris or Peter O'Tool.
He turned around to the leading actress before a sex scene and is quoted as saying "Excuse me if I get a hard on and excuse me if I don't".
Thought it was a great line.

Bob Geldof went into that a bit in his autobiography. IIRC he said it was too cold in the end.

I don't think you're aware of what a stripped to the bone feature film crew conists of. A five man camera crew (DoP, Operator, Clapper loader, and Video Assist) is the bare minimum. if there's any tracking or dollys, thats an additional couple of gaffers. A two man sound crew, continutiy, director, plus four hair and makeup types sprinting in just before the start of every take. Plus a director and maybe producer or two. Thats anything from 10-15 people.

i always had a lot of pity for ewan mc gregor, i mean he must have had a lot of trouble staying soft in that scene with kelly mc donald in trainspotting, she is a fox.
but i was watching one of those top 100 programs on c4 a while ago about the top 100 sex scenes and the bloke they were talking to about trainspotting said 3/4 of that scene had to be cut out because kelly mc donald was 'enjoying' herself too much and mc gregor's wife was furious.
would love to find the whole scene, if it exists

I was watching Top Gun the other day and I certainly did wonder how Mr.Cruise managed to stay flaccid in that shower scene. Marvelous actor.

my angle, they don't! :eek:

They use an anti-viagra drug.

Ah yes, Dick Harris and Peter O'Tool ... a classic quote!

I'm surprised there hasn't been a parallel thread created entitled "Sex scenes in films - How do they stay dry?":D

exCrumlinBoyo

It’s simple, they think of Pee Wee Herman jumping around and bending over in a leopard skin leotard trying to act all sexy… Think about it, just for a minute…. It works right?

Black Swan

Not exactly a romantic scene on the set. Lots of retakes and film editing, too. Big stars often get body double stand ins.

Don1

They just resort to "Top Gun Acting"* IMO

Ref: Team America


Oh and speaking of Team America, that's the most wood I've ever seen in a sex scene from a non-X rated film!!! :P

Dr_Teeth

I was watching that MTV reality show about the guy who runs his own porn studio a while ago (I forget the name of it) and in one scene he's trying to find a new guy for his videos. So he brings in a bunch of applicants and most of them aren't able to even masturbate in front of the interviewers. Of the few that managed that, half of them weren't able to 'perform' when he brought in real female porn stars to film a test scene.. so I guess it's harder than it looks, no pun intended. :P

Yep, I was going to say something similar. I have seen a few documentaries on it and it is supposed to be rare to find guys who can get hard for filming. I have heard they have fig leaf type attachments to stop direct contact.

What I always think is amusing is when the action hero/cop etc is riding some young one sensless, then the phone rings -"you gotta get here right away", he leaps out of bed, on with the pants, not a bother, going from raging red raw tungsten to flaccid in 2 seconds flat!

damiennolan

Are most male Hollywood stars not gay anyway?

No worries about getting wood when simulating sex with the ladies then!

:rolleyes:

Marksie

occasionally they do get carried away.
Jack nicholson and jessica lange in the postman always ring twice, william hurt and kathleen turner in body heat.
Not forgetting that massive group S*X scene i last years oscar winner..the march of the penguins .

In fact there is a french movei.."baise moi" which is mainstream and hardcore... the FRENCH banned it!!! (the two female leads were porn stars)

The male male nude wrestling scene in women in love between alan bates and oliver reed was interesting.. they were quized wehy things were so small. They said it was absolutely freezing and a cold stone floor. So mister winky went into his shell. Both Oliver Reed and Alan Bates were initially apprehensive about filming the legendary wrestling scene due to insecurity over who had the largest "member". Eventually, after both actors got drunk, compared sizes and realized there was little difference between the two, filming continued with relative ease.

But generally i think they post a pciture of mary harney at eye level..does the trick

Other way round for me

pbsuxok1znja4r

Surely being flaccid would defeat the purpose of a sex scene?

Terry

the whole entertainment industry is gay.
they're your answer. thank you, Mr. Syzlak.
