Question: How do actors do a love scene on stage!? !?
How do actors 'have sex' on stage and in movies!? Do they do it really!? Or do they have a special cloth covering their private parts!? Don't their bodies natural reactions come in at some point!?

I'm not talking about porn!. Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
No respectable non-porn production would ever have their actors actually have sex on camera or onstage!.

Whether they actually get naked while they're on set is a matter of the actors' comfort; some actors have no problems lying in bed naked with another actor while naughty bits are kept out of frame or out of view of the audience, while others prefer to wear flesh-colored modesty shorts so even the other actors and/or crew don't see anything!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

By "natural reactions," do you mean do actors become aroused when doing a love/sex scene!?

Picture this: you're lying in bed with someone, wearing whatever you're comfortable with (nothing, flesh colored coverings, etc!.)!. Overhead there are multiple extremely bright lights!. Directly in front of you is a huge camera or two!. Alongside the bed is someone holding a microphone on a boom!. Out of camera range there are a number of crew members operating various kinds of equipment!.

And someone yells "quiet!" then "rolling!" then someone leans over your bodies with a clapboard, yells "Set!" then the director yells "Action!" And you begin the scene!. It's possible something goes wrong, then the director yells "Cut!" and someone else yells "Cut!" and then they reset the shot all over again!.

I would think that would diminish any kind of "natural reaction," eh!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Sometimes, it's the angle they're at that makes it LOOK like they really are having sex!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
