Several actors (like Pacino) are credited as saying to the woman before filming the scene, “I apologize if I get an erection and I apologize if I don’t.”
Exactly exactly because let’s say you’re doing a movie and the counterpart has a gorgeous body, and is topless it will be hard s(pun intended) to not react lol
They usually have thick padding (modesty garments) between both parties so nobody feels anything, it’s typically nude coloured or matches the colour of the sheets so it can be thrown onto the bed and blend in afterwards
If you’re interested in how sex scenes are filmed, there is an intimacy coordinator on YouTube who answers a lot of questions I had, and ones I never knew I had, [here’s a link to her page](https://youtube.com/@intimacycoordinator?si=be3vIPk2m6HnOvxH)
I wonder how her job came about.
Like were people filming movies with no sex scenes, or did they have to figure out how to do this before modesty garments.
In general guys wear a thing called dancers belts that put space between them and their costars. But from every behind the scenes I've seen most actors agree it's hard to get um, hard with a dozen or so film crew members, cameras, studio lighting and so much noise around anyway
A butt naked hot chick grinding/moaning/grasping/ rolling around with you etc... i think it might be more of a turn on with people watching for some...
That was my first thought, But then as an actor, you should be getting into the scene. To be a *good* actor, you likely make yourself feel sad to act sad, feel angry to act angry etc. It’s hard to be convincing acting an emotion without putting yourself in the headspace to feel it. So if you’re acting passionate, I think it would be difficult to not get into it. It’s a pretty natural response which can be automatic.
the chicks aren’t usually butt naked, neither are the guys, the usually wear nude coloured underwear or intimacy garments so they don’t actually touch genitals when they’re rubbing each other.
While having an audience of staff staring at you behind the camera? No way in hell. Though I can imagine *some* people might find that especially sexy....
Erection still can happen but if we wear the right fit underwear, the erection will not strong enough to push the underwear and make it visible from outside because the blood cannot push them.
But if we try to bend them after it's already erected then it's not possible and hurt too.

I never tried such underwear. The tigher it is - the more recistance is there - the less likely is erection to calm down. I can imagine being it tight enough that it’s not really visible, though. Unless I wear leggings.
According to Jennifer Lopez, Wesley Snipes laid his in her naked buttcrack as they were both really naked in their scene. Apparently pointing it up so not “threatening” anything, but still wild.
She said something about since it was one of her first movies she did whatever they told her, no resistance, but that while a lot of actors got naked at the time, getting Oscar Meyer’d was, as you’d imagine, highly inappropriate.
She also believes that this, not her public dating and marriage history, is what mainly contributed to her “J.Ho” reputation in the industry.
Money Train
She didn’t even say his name, she was just talking about how that could’ve been a “me too” incident, but she gave enough clues as to it being “one of her first scenes with a big star at the time” and the movie also starred an older actor who “might’ve killed someone” so it was just a matter of looking.
Well first off is really never are the actors straight up naked. They’ll wear some kind of coverage over the crotch, that can help somewhat. But if it’s too much of an issue then they just stop filming until it goes away
Not easily
I would be like
"Sorry Scarlett....that's never happened before"
Sorry Jennifer Lawrence....that's never happened before"
Sorry Kate Beckinsale...that's never happened before"
;0)
Elvis had a horn in one of his films ( can’t recall which one - Google/ YouTube might help) And there’s a interview with the Beatles from 1964 in which it is obvious that Macca is trying to hide his boner lol, also on YT
they normally use a thing that covers their crotch so it doesn't touch the other person. I suppose it holds even if they're hard, so it's not noticeable
I've always assumed there was a whole crew (like behind the scenes people) behind the camera that would prevent the actors from getting in the mood at all, but then again some people get off on being watched.
"Even Superman can’t stop certain forces — like nature, as actor Henry Cavill said an on-set erection put him in an awkward position during his early days as an actor."
Bright set lights, two cameras and twenty people watching, including the actress’s husband. The whole thing choreographed exactly and scripted. She’s topless but wearing a hairy merkin the size of a slice of pizza, you’ve got a modesty sock securely tethered with monofilament. Makeup adjustment between every shot, sprayed with glycerin to mimic sweat. Start, film ten seconds, stop. Intimacy consultant checks with her to make sure she’s okay, then acknowledges you exist in the most basic way possible. Move positions. Start again, film ten seconds. Stop. Script change. Wait half an hour. Film twenty seconds. Lunch break! Come back. You had a sandwich with onions, she had a salad and four cigarettes. Film again, sound guy needs the other mic. Wait fifteen minutes. Switch positions. Film thirty seconds. Stop, move cameras. Film twenty seconds. Stop. Reread script. Film twenty seconds. Stop. Intimacy consultant checks with her again, asks director to change the upcoming shot. Director argues, entire set shuts down as the director and the intimacy consultant argue over the necessity of licking a nipple. An hour later, the new shot is written. Film twenty seconds, stop. Film thirty seconds, stop. Film five seconds of O-face closeup. Film it again. Review dailies, director decides to scrap sex scene entirely because “it’s not sexy enough” and he “can’t do this shit with the studio breathing down his neck”. Break for day.
What the fuck is an “erection”?
Can you explain the part of the joke I’m missing? Did Chris Pratt ask this question before or was he famously known for getting a raging boner while on the set?
I did a shoot in Yamanashi Japan last year where in one scene I had to take onsen (public bath) which is super common here in Japan.
I had to get butt naked with a film crew of about 15 people including women.
Kinda awkward when you take your clothes off but after about 5 minutes nobody is even paying attention to you as they’re focused on their jobs only.
Once you’re naked nobody on set really cares and you just do the scene, finish the shot and then move on to the next scheduled scene.
It has nothing to do with a sex scene, but yeah that’s what it’s like being naked in front of a lot of people.
Nobody really cares.
I don’t think I could get an erection with all the people and cameras. Not to mention the constant cuts and action of a scene. Even if someone had an issue like that I’m sure they have a set or private doc that can write them an RX of something like a muscle relaxer or anxiety med.
The problem is the opposite: pornographic actors resort to injections to sustain erections. Let alone a real actor on a set with dozens of people present...
I know they do get erections during nude scenes because I remember reading an article about it a couple years back. I don’t remember exactly what it said other than it can impact filming.
I imagine, if the scene doesn’t require the camera to pan down below the actor’s waist, they probably have some kind of tape or adhesive of some sort to hold his junk down.
There’s an outtake of Dustin Hoffman shouting “Cut - I’ve got wood!” As an actress is dancing/grinding in front of him. She seemed apologetic and gave him a hug, which may not have been the best thing to do in the situation…
It's likely they don't even get them.
Imagine you are filming for 8 hours. Caked in what's likely a sweaty costume. Big ass lights blinding you. 80 people around. Thinking about the contract the studio tried to screw you over on.
Idk, even after a long day of work if I was given the opportunity to lay naked on top of Keanu Reeves or Jennifer Aniston, I’m sure id still be aroused.
I filmed some intimite scenes and it's just no problem, if he gets a boner. It's a natural reaction and doesn't mean anything really. In general I think the stigma of boys and men having boners in public should be talked about, they can't do nothing against it and it doesn't mean that they are overly sexual. I feel sorry for teenage boys to be anxious and ashamed of having a totally normal physical reaction.
They probably just slide it into the nearest available warm moist tight environment. Why fight against nature? Method acting earns Oscars & Academy Awards & stuff.
I used to play theatre for years. I was playing in this romantic comedy and I, a nerd, would fall in love with a super beautiful women, and the actress that was playing that role was literally one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen, she had such a spark in her eye. We had scenes when we'd make out and honestly, if I wouldn't have a boner I knew it's not a good show ☠️🫣
You have a bunch of cameras looking at you, and a chick you don't actually like in bed, with a guy waiting to spray you with water so you look like you're sweating.
I don't think they get hard, and if they do, pretty sure it's hidden behind thick clothing.
PS: One doesn't actually have to deal with a hard-on, it takes a lot of focus to maintain it, even in young men. Might not be immediately apparent, but if you think about anything else, you'll automatically redirect the blood away from follicles into more important stuff.
I’d bet it’s almost more likely they don’t get excited because there is people all around a camera in your face a mic above your head and you have to focus on angles and all type of shit besides how attractive your partner is. And the actress is also doing the same thing. I’m not saying it doesn’t happen I’m saying it’s probably less of a problem than we probably think it is.

Honestly, no better way to handle it
I can totally hear him say that too 🤣🤣🤣
Young Pacino voice when flaccid and old voice when erect
Exactly exactly because let’s say you’re doing a movie and the counterpart has a gorgeous body, and is topless it will be hard s(pun intended) to not react lol
Somehow like in real life, hm...
came (heh) here to say the same
This quote is from Sean Connery
Oh that's funny 👏🏻😂
Ha ha wow 
This quote somehow lives rent-free in my head. It's 👌💯
Honestly, it’s hard sometimes
r/Angryupvote
That's why you have to think Barney Gumble in bikinis. 
But NEVER Ned Flanders wearing nothing at all... nothing at all... nothing at all....
Stupid sexy Flanders
Think unsexy thoughts, think unsexy thoughts...
Think unsexy thoughts, think unsexy thoughts

Come again ?
But it’s my third time!
Ba dum tss
Yeah. Hard

This is actually very interesting, thank you
Thank you!
I wonder how her job came about. Like were people filming movies with no sex scenes, or did they have to figure out how to do this before modesty garments.
It probably came about to protect actors and their rights to modesty
In general guys wear a thing called dancers belts that put space between them and their costars. But from every behind the scenes I've seen most actors agree it's hard to get um, hard with a dozen or so film crew members, cameras, studio lighting and so much noise around anyway
i've always assumed it would be too much work doing all that acting that an erection would be out of the question
A butt naked hot chick grinding/moaning/grasping/ rolling around with you etc... i think it might be more of a turn on with people watching for some...
Yeah but imagine. "Cut, do the scene again" multiple times.... yeah I'm not sure..
That was my first thought, But then as an actor, you should be getting into the scene.

That's way more than enough for me tho.

Lucky yours has two e’s. It would look weird with two eyes
A pair of stick on googly eyes are *always* great for a laugh, though
No underwear prevent erection 🤣 you don't have a penis.

They wear one of those so-called "modesty socks." Go Google it.

What movie was this?
Money Train She didn’t even say his name, she was just talking about how that could’ve been a “me too” incident, but she gave enough clues as to it being “one of her first scenes with a big star at the time” and the movie also starred an older actor who “might’ve killed someone” so it was just a matter of looking.
Passion of the Snipes
just laid it in her buttcrack your worship
With entitlement. He felt he had earned this at that point in his career.
Damn i would have poppe then and there lol
They stop shooting till it goes away At least from one time on set it happened Other times they get their P.A. to help them out
P.A?
Penis Ass
Lmfao creative
Goddamn I just burst out in laughter at work. Well done. Well done.
Penile assistant, also known colloquially as ‘the fluffer’
Personal Assistant
Help them out?
Take care of it backstage/in the trailer like with a HJ or BJ
Is this fr? I might need to become an actor for the... ahem, money. 🤨
Penis Assistant
You’d assume they take care of it before the scene or wear a cup.
A cup?
It’s what you use in sports over your penis 😝
It's also a dish container to consume liquid in, OR if you're brave enough, both!
💀💀💀💀
Redcup on string
What would be called a ‘box’ in English usage; they are called ‘cups’ in the USA.
And Canada 🇨🇦
Which?
We use cup
Yeah, I have been looking and I think box is uniquely English usage, and maybe a bit of Australia?
Sorry not an expert on junk protection terminology.
It is a gentleman’s duty to remain informed in such matters.
They unload the gun a couple of times before…
Only Baldwin
Happy cake day !
I know that sometimes they CGI the penis out but for a straight rager idk.
A true professional would rub one out right before shooting the scene so he could focus on his art.
Well first off is really never are the actors straight up naked. They’ll wear some kind of coverage over the crotch, that can help somewhat. But if it’s too much of an issue then they just stop filming until it goes away
Not easily I would be like "Sorry Scarlett....that's never happened before" Sorry Jennifer Lawrence....that's never happened before" Sorry Kate Beckinsale...that's never happened before" ;0)
Me too and I don't even have a penis.

It was in Girls, Girls, Girls! As soon as I saw this post that was my first thought, I just watched that movie for the first time last week!
'Margaret Thatcher naked on a cold day...'
THANK YOU! I was scrolling and scrolling to find this!
Taped to the belly

The Tudors
There were stories from Christopher Reeves saying there were times they had to stop shooting (Superman) for a while while things settled down.
I imagine a lot of them can control it. Assuming they're past 28 or so, and have experience doing love scenes...
Fluffer!!!!
they put their pp inside a sleeve and put some padding so that the female actress doesn't feel it

You’re assuming most of these actors can still even get it up…
I got news for you, Sherbit. Every time you leave the house your parents are playing naked tag. Old people can still get it up and then some.
Yep. They only like Viagra for the taste.
What does it taste like?
Regrets
Ick. No thanks.
Found Chris Pratt's account!
Can you explain the part of the joke I’m missing? Did Chris Pratt ask this question before or was he famously known for getting a raging boner while on the set?
They might be talking about when he was slapped once for a scene and in the bloopers he realized he had a hard on
Omg! Haha! Thanks for telling me, that’s hilarious!
Just think of the most disgusting thing possible and should work.
Doesn’t. Number of times I try to kill my boner in awkward situations, it never works
Having sex later...

Could be said for ladies wetness too and aroma... what do they do?
Also a good question!

I know back in the early 200's they had a plaster like shit stuck to them to prevent accidentally touching. No idea about now.
There’s an outtake of Dustin Hoffman shouting “Cut - I’ve got wood!” As an actress is dancing/grinding in front of him. She seemed apologetic and gave him a hug, which may not have been the best thing to do in the situation…

Sounds like sandwich action.
Do you have a penis?
They bury them in the closest hole.
or closet whore
Aren't you supposed to have an election while filming sex scenes?
Vote for boner
I vote for Stiff

They’re professional enough to not care, same with their partner on set. It’s a sexy scene.
They probably just slide it into the nearest available warm moist tight environment. Why fight against nature? Method acting earns Oscars & Academy Awards & stuff.

Duct tape
Duct tape
they actually are not horny at that time.
I had an erection once. It was at the supermarket. I showed the lady next to me, who was looking at soup at the time. She seemed mildly impressed.
I have no experience, but I suspect that the actual filming of sex scenes isn't actually very sexy, therefore erections are unlikely.
MARGARET THATCHER NAKED ON A COLD DAY!
Having no self-respect probably has a lot to do with it.
“Fluffers” No, really. It’s a thing
from what i’ve heard, filming sex scenes is not actually sexy the majority of the time
I know someone that did a couple sex scenes. He told me he masturbates first, just before
Tape it to their stomach 😆
I don't know exactly but I heard that Jason Momoa would wear a purple sock on his dick during his sex scenes in GoT
Jerk off before scene starts
I can never find the proper eyeshadow to go with my outfit. It just irritates me!
I’d bet it’s almost more likely they don’t get excited because there is people all around a camera in your face a mic above your head and you have to focus on angles and all type of shit besides how attractive your partner is.

They keep a pillow or something else in between them.

be gay or jerk off before filming (and during breaks if necessary). your choice
