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

Pigman II

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.

They use an anti-viagra drug.

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.

I really hope this post is dripping with sarcasm.

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

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.

They just resort to "Top Gun Acting"* IMO

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

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!

Are most male Hollywood stars not gay anyway?

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

:rolleyes:

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

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