Nothing is easy when it comes to directing a movie, but shooting a sex scene may pose filmmaking's most surreal challenge. Think of all the contradictions at play: Sex is one of the most real and messy things two people can engage in, but in this case, carefully choreographed movie stars are paid to fake it. And while the best love scenes often feel intimate and personal, it's easy to forget that they're reenacted in front of a director and crew standing just out of frame, then broadcast to (and screen-capped by) an audience of millions.Just as everyone goes about lovemaking a little differently, so, too, do directors approach these tricky scenes with a different set of techniques, tips, and tricks. How do you put anxious and nearly naked actors at ease? What's involved when it comes to negotiating for nudity? And when it comes to the MPAA â€" the shadowy ratings board that slaps a restrictive rating on the slightest thrust â€" what sort of double standards are at play? We surveyed ten directors for their own funny, intriguing, and illuminating stories of how they made onscreen lovemaking work."
