I don’t understand them. I’m not a fan. There are circumstances where a sex scene actually is beneficial to a movie, rather than just the audience. [But] I think sometimes they’re overused these days.
Henry Cavill speaking to the Happy Sad Confused podcast about filming sex scenes.
It’s when you have a sense where you’re going, “Is this really necessary or is it just people with less clothing on?” And that’s when you start to get more uncomfortable and you’re thinking, “There’s not a performance here.”
Most of the time, the human imagination is going to trump [doing sex scenes]. So I think that it can be a little bit of a cop out if a TV show or a movie is filled with gyrating bodies. What is this doing for us?
I’m not a fan of doing them.

Don't forget to share:
Darson
He is of course referring to sex scenes with women ?
Diplomat
Yes so of course he’s uncomfortable and doesn’t understand them.

Not a great film scholar, but I don’t think his stardom hinges on his intellect.
Rambeaux
Thank you for my LOL for the day.

With so many people clamoring for a secretive cellphone shot of his nads, I don’t blame him for being uncomfortable doing nude scenes.
G-Man
Agreed. In addition, I can’t imagine having to make a sex scene look real with someone you don’t know or maybe don’t even want to know.

From everything I’ve read Cavill is a huge nerd. He builds computers as a hobby and is into gaming big time. As for intellect, I’m sure he’s fine there, seems to be quite intelligent and charming. I think his looks and physique are at odds with his true character.
