Sean Connery is said to have once said during the filming of a hot scene: "I'm sorry if I get aroused and I'm sorry if I don't." This sentence would not have landed on fertile ground in real life, but it undoubtedly resonates. in Hollywood, where just such scenes help sell the film. But what happens between these scenes? Things are rarely as hot as they seem, and shooting one such scene can sometimes take several hours or even a day. Here are some interesting gadgets that actors use to help themselves while shooting sexy scenes.
1. Shame wigs
Pubic wigs have their roots in the Middle Ages. These protected ladies from pubic ears, and prostitutes used them to cover sexually transmitted diseases. Today, pubic wigs are used by some actors and actresses and are usually requested by directors. Kate Winslet reportedly wore one in the movie The Reader (2008), and one was also used in the movie Love and Other Drugs (2010).
2. Penis 'socks'
During a hot movie scene, it's hard to tell what's really happening and what's being played. We can thank this penis sock, which the male actor uses to wrap around his genitals, for those doubts. Thus, these are hidden from the eyes of the general public.
3. Skin-colored underwear
True Blood's Anna Paquin (2008-2014) revealed that she herself wears a skin-colored thong with the straps cut off. The camera at the right angle then shows a completely natural image of the woman's body. Men can also wear similar discreet underwear.
4. Patches
Small patches that cover the nipples first appeared around 1920 when cabaret dancers wore them. Today, actresses wear them to cover nipples, but the patch still gives the illusion of a completely bare breast.

5. Smaller exercise balls
According to an interview with actor, screenwriter and director John Turturro, during the filming of his movie Romance & Cigarettes (2005), Kate Winslet sat on a small exercise ball and simulated sex with her on top of it. At the end of the shoot, she actually slipped off the ball and landed on a teammate.
6. Prosthetic genitalia
It's true that they often use doubles in movies, but even here sometimes what you see is artificial. Silicone pieces are placed on actors in films where things are above average hot - for example, Blue is the Warmest Color (2013) and Nymphomaniac (2013).
7. Deposits
In the series Girls (Punce, 2012), they do not know shyness even in explicit sexual scenes. In season 4, actress Allison Williams was involved in an anal sex scene. In addition to the rather oddly cut shapewear, she also had a pad taped to the back to cover herself with.
8. Rose water and glycerin spray
Sex scenes are often convincing because of little things like the sweat on the bodies of the actors. For the best possible authenticity, these should be sprayed with a mixture of rose water and glycerin, which perfectly imitates sweat.
