How 3 of Hollywood’s Most Realistic Sex Scenes Were Created

Have you ever wondered how Hollywood’s most famous sex scenes were created to seem so realistic? In films like Lars Von Trier’s Nymphomaniac Vol. I and II, the actors appear to be actually fucking—as in, we see shots of up-close, seemingly unsimulated penetrative sex. So how did the director achieve this level of realism without asking his actors to have actual sex? And how do other films pull off realistic looking sex scenes? To find out, let’s go behind the scenes of 3 famous ones.

1. Nymphomaniac Vol. IHow did Lars Von Trier create such realistic sex scenes as the one that shows Shia LaBeouf’s cock repeatedly penetrating an actress? His method is three-tiered. His team first shot the actors simulating sex, then shot porn-stars actually having sex, and later digitally-imposed the two images together. “So above the waist it will be the star and below the waist it will be the doubles,” explains the film’s producer. They also used a prosthetic cock for a very realistic looking blowjob scene.
2. Blue is the Warmest ColorIf you’ve seen this film, you must have wondered how they pulled off the epic seven-minute sex scene that includes scissoring, slapping, writhing, and manual and oral stimulation. During the intense 10 day sex scene shoot, the actors were asked to get naked and wear prosthetic vaginas. “We had fake pussies that were molds of our real pussies,” said one of the actors. “It was weird to have a fake mold of your pussy and then put it over your real one.” But it sure looked good!
3. Monster’s BallArguably one of the best sex scenes in film history has a butt-naked Halle Berry famously shouting “Make me feel good!” So how’d they pull off the realistic looking sex? The answer’s simple: excellent acting. “I would only do it if Billy Bob agreed to be as naked as I was,” said Berry. Billy Bob Thornton later claimed that the notorious sex scene was the reason his relationship ended with then girlfriend Angelina Jolie.
