Gavin Polone asked three prominent actors to explain, anonymously, what it feels like to film a sex scene. "Archie" shares his story:
I once did a sex scene with a girl I had just started to date on the film we worked on. But it ended up being really awkward, because it felt like we were letting strangers into the bedroom. It also was odd because I became aware of the notion that we were just cliché actors doing what was expected of us; and worse, the notion that both of us started the relationship — more her, I know I'm pointing fingers — in order to help our "performances."
