@darkcurry , I've been reading your post for years. You are way too smart to believe that people reliably act according to logic lol. But in this case, it doesn't matter what anyone finds logical. It matters what the actress finds comfortable. It's disrespectful to needlessly and purposely make someone uncomfortable.
I hear you, but these are grown people so it is also needless to do something that makes you uncomfortable. Bottom line is if she can have no nudity clause in her contract she can make the decision not to do it all together. Remember she wasn't nude she was in her underwear and a T-shirt. The guy was nude. I wouldn't hire her if I was making a movie where there is a sex scene because it is obvious it makes her uncomfortable to be filmed doing sex scenes to the point that she has to render herself delusional thinking that it's private.
I'm not even going to take a chance especially in THIS era hiring somebody that's like that, brotha. I understand people need to be comfortable to do really anything, that's just common sense. But psyching your mind to feel comfortable isn't really making you comfortable; it's just making you think you are when you are actually not.
lol. We are talking about un-simulated sex here where the only real intimate contact that is happening is the kissing. Unless you have a significant other or they're just throwing you together and not allowing you to get to know your co-star in the scene I don't find that difficult for an ACTOR, THESPIAN to do. Especially when you are covered the way she was and when they are nude they have things covering their private parts or sometimes nude panties on. I think some of this have to do with it being trendy to complain about these things.
I remember when sextapes became popular and there were stars out there purposely putting out sex tapes to recapture their fame and make headlines. There is a bunch of monkey see, monkey do in hollywood. I totally understand with making the performers comfortable because that's common sense but she was never comfortable and she was just trying to pretend to be comfortable and Frankie Shaw found out the hard way.
I know logic is lost on a lot of people, but it ain't lost on me so that's not my fault. If I ever made a movie or a TV show that has nudity and sex scenes in it I'M taking the proper pre-cautions to make sure I have actors that have no problems filming them and can be professional WHEN filming them. You have to make sure the performers are comfortable, but at the same time the performers themselves have to be willing to actually be comfortable. Meet me in the middle. lol.
