Title: Sex Scenes
Post by: Thrindle on October 18, 2004, 12:56:34 PM
I have a very serious question for all of the xixaxers.  Sometimes I am watching movies and the sex scenes are a little too real.  
So my question is: are any of them fairly "real"?  How do you go about making them look real?  (I'm doing research for my future in the adult film industry)  Oh, and the movie that made me wonder this was "Don't Look Now"... that's quite the scene...

Supposedly, according to cinema legend, the sex scene in Don't Look Now WAS real...

Other ones that have made me wonder can be found in Monster's Ball and The Dreamers. Bertolucci certainly wouldn't be against it, as he encouraged (I think -- someone correct me if I'm wrong) Brando to have sex on camera in Last Tango In Paris (Brando refused).

I don't know how they manage to fake it so well, if they are faking it, especially in those really long unbroken takes. Despite the crew and all the lights, wouldn't all the prolonged bumping and grinding eventually make certain instincts spring to life?

http://www.xixax.com/viewtopic.php?t=3442

only that we discussed when we broke our first sex scene cherry. i particually like what pubes and cinephile contributed in that thread.

That thread is different, please don't lock this one.  Two for two would just put me over the edge.

If what they say is true, then the real thing definitely pays off; Don't Look Now has the greatest sex scene ever put on screen.

Bruce Willis once said his only though during his sex scenes was "Are they looking at my dick?".

According to the commentary, Scarlet Diva has real sex in it.  Watching it in prep for a film I'm working on.  It's a great flick, too.  Highly underrated.

any idea when the first sex scene was?

not necessarily a sex scene, but the first time a man and a woman were shown in the same bed together in a movie.

+1% in my cinematic expression class extra credit if i can find this out and tell my teacher. she can't find it or remember it, and it's bugging her.

I think the poignancy of the scene in Don't Look Now has as much to do with the actual sex scene as it does with the cutting between the post-sex scene.  Also its placing within the context of the story fits better than some sex scenes in other movies.  It doesn't feel superfluous or cheap.  It feels real.
It is a great scene.

Hustler's Barely Legal films have real sex.  And so do the films of Seymore Butts.
