Could you do a nude love scene?
I always wonder how they do it? Those mainstream movies where they have to act making love, nude! The long lingering single camera shots that follow their tongue along the others neck and down their torso to their naked hips moving together in that oh so in tune way, and with a full film crew and lighting and sound engineers watching every move!

Honestly, I don’t think I could. I think I would get much too nervous and shy. I’d tense up and it wouldn’t look believable.
Nope, I’m very timid about my body. I would never be able to take my clothes off in front of a bunch of strangers.
How about the husband director whose wife is doing that scene with someone else… it’s just acting! XD
No I probably couldn’t do it.. but it doesn’t matter because I wouldn’t.
If I had the chance I’ll do it right away…
meh, honestly if I was payed a fraction of what some movie stars make, just to make out with a beautiful actress mostly naked… come on….
I am fairly certain no one would ask me to do a nude love scene on camera.
You know… if the pay was right, and as long as it was an actual movie (i.e. not a porn..) then yeah, I would. Partly because there’s an extremely good chance they wouldn’t want any male nudity (dudeity), and partly because it’d be an interesting enough experience (faking it while getting watched, I mean) that I wouldn’t mind anyone looking at me funny afterwards.
No, I’m way too self conscious! And I’m married!
I would be so stunned by the invitation, that I would figure they would deserve what they get by having selected me and I would go ahead and disgust the audience.
As an actor, i’ll tell you that when your agent hooks you up with a pretty well paying movie/commercial/etc.. that last thing i’d tell him is that im too uncomfortable to do that role, cuz if i did i’d live up to the starving actor name
Funilly enough I have to do such a scene in the theatre. Luckily it’s a comedy. Unfortunately my co-actor is so uptight about it, she acts like a primary school kid. I already agreed that we’ll do it without touching at all, so basically I suggested we go behind a curtain and move in front of a light so our shadow makes it look as if we’re doing it. She won’t even agree to that, because she says I do it too realistic and it looks from the front as if we’re really touching. Then the director agreed for us to just be behind a screen and throw our clothes over it, and even then she’s worried people might think these are her real clothes and that she could be naked back there (which is the whole point of the scene). Yes, she’s gotten on everybody’s nerves by now, but it’s too late to change the actress.
I don’t think I’d have a problem playing such a scene, as long as I wasn’t asked to actually do it for real. I’m pretty sure I could never play in a porno movie for example, as I’d find it hard to get turned on with all those cameras around me. But pretending to make love, this I could do. It’s only acting (I even have 2 gay scenes in my play and I’m not gay).
The only thing that would bug me would be to know that I’d have male relatives potentially able to see me naked and doing something sexual. That squicks me.
The actual filming of it? That part wouldn’t bother me. Those are closed sets, and not many people are actually allowed on such sets, including staff and crew. Maybe the director, the DP, and an AD with a walkie. The whole crew isn’t standing there gawping. And with a set the way it is, with the lights and the rigging and whatnot, it’s not as though it’s a real intimate place as it would be were I with my man. It’s work. Porn, I imagine, is different, but I wouldn’t do porn.
I guess I could do one more…
Only because I could act. It wouldn’t be too genuine.
I originally assumed this question would be in reference to whether you’d be comfortable with your body to do a nude love scene… but I was wrong. eek
nope, well maybe
how much are they paying me?
Most definitely. I am not shy about my body at all. I wouldn’t do porn because I don’t want to be trashy or viewed as demeaning myself, but people don’t generally view nude sex scenes in non-porn movies as trashy or demeaning.
If acting was my career, I would definitely go for it! It’s acting!
If it was tasteful enough and the pay was good I think I could get over the “Oh my God I have to be naked in front of all these people” feeling and suck it up. A little skin never hurt anybody.
