What they didn’t teach you in acting class

It’s not easy to avoid in this industry. S*E*X is everywhere!  Hey, it sells and Hollywood knows it. These days, almost every television show or mainstream film contains at least one scene involving kissing, nudity or sex.

If you are an actor who has questions about how to stay professional and make respectable choices when faced with an intimate scene, you aren’t alone.

On Today’s Show

Everything you wanted to know but were afraid to ask!

Joining me on today’s show is my dear friend and AASECT* Certified Sex Educator, the beautiful and brilliant Lou Paget. Together, we talk up a storm, so you are guaranteed to gain some valuable insight!

What we’ll be covering today:

✔︎ Why (and how) sex sells in Hollywood, and your role as an actor

✔︎ How to protect yourself from potentially unsafe situations

✔︎ How to choose upon opportunities which may involve nudity or other physical expectations

✔︎ How to demand tastefulness in the scenes in which you are performing

✔︎ What questions you should ask before saying yes to any role involving a sex scene

✔︎ Chemistry between actors (and how to deal with awkwardness!)

✔︎ What is appropriate (and not appropriate) in auditions that involve an intimate moment with another actor
