My ex is an actress. It never bothered me really. She saw it as part of the job and I do too. I'm the one she's looking for in the audience and taking her home at the end of the show lol.

My ex was an opera singer, same thing. I was in one of her shows (in the chorus) and I wasn't sure how I'd feel. Seeing it, it's the least romantic thing ever. The singers are sweaty and nasty and it's not really pleasant. It might have helped that I knew the guy well enough too.

I'd be curious to see the data of married Hollywood celebrities and how long their relationships last vs how many intimate scenes they have on film are. Of course, the data would be nearly worthless because humans are complex and there are millions of valid reasons why a relationship would end, but I'd like to see the numbers, anyway.

Not in Hollywood, but a local actress here got divorced by her husband when he saw a sex scene in his wife's new Netflix show. Apparently the actress didn't tell her husband that the show would have some sex scenes and the husband got real mad. Why do Netflix shows always have unnecessary sex scenes anyway?

[–] darthsid@lemmy.world 45 points 2 years ago (2 children)

What kind of Netflix shows are you watching?

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 34 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

The Netflix Marvel shows they made had some pretty useless sex scenes that look very weird in Disney's catalogue these days... And god damn the violence is turned to eleven compared to current Marvel shows! That 11 minute one take fight in Daredevil season 3 is hot as fuck!

[–] Holyhandgrenade@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

This is why I have little faith in the new Disney Plus Daredevil series.
If it's not brutal as fuck it won't be the same

They are professionals. It's part of the job. It'd be like being a spouse to a stripper. You know what they are doing, so you should be ok with it.

My wife went to school with someone from a popular TV show a few years back, where she'd be in sex scenes fairly frequently (from what I hear, I watched a few episodes and hated it). She had a long-term boyfriend at the time, and it didn't take long for him to not be cool with it.

She also went to school with a musician that had a stab at a solo career. She had some raunchy scenes in a music vid, and that quickly led to her breaking up with her boyfriend.

Those are my only two frames of reference, but I imagine it's quite hard to deal with emotionally, even if you know it meant nothing and is just a part of the job.

They feel a paycheck coming their way most likely

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 14 points 2 years ago (3 children)

If they're paying my wife 1 million a day she can kiss whoever they want.

[–] triclops6@lemmy.ca 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's quite an indecent proposal!

There was a movie about that but I can't remember the name

Stanley Kubrick caused Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise to divorce over this.

I think it might've been the whole cult religion thing instead

Ever wondered why the divorce rate in hollywood is so high? Must not be easy to deal with that shit

[–] KrummsHairyBalls@lemmy.ca 41 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well I doubt they care because they are also acting in a different movie kissing someone else.

I'm sure the divorce rate is high because they are limited to a small dating pool. The average person, you and I, are not severely limited to other famous people, and divorce rate for normal people like us is extremely high as well.

Just do what Leo does and date some random teenage Instagram model.

I doubt those relationships last long or are fulfilling, but I also doubt any celebrity marriage is fulfilling and there's a lot more baggage involved.

Let's be real. A lot of people in the comments are saying "it's just a job", but that's irrelevant. Prostitution and stripping are both jobs, and I guarantee those who work in either have a vastly more difficult time finding people okay with that.

Is it impossible for the significant other to be okay with it? No. Will it be harder to have a relationship? Definitely.

They feel with their hands and fingers mostly.

Maybe they are not insecure?

[–] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 80 points 2 years ago (5 children)

Why do people equate being secure with being ok seeing your wife kiss another guy? You can be secure and still against it

[–] RagnarokOnline@reddthat.com 66 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I’m so secure that my wife’s boyfriend told me he was taking her away to the cabin for the weekend and I decided I’d have the guys over for a poker night. They’re just good friends.

It's cool, John Redcorn is just helping with her headaches

Be as secure as you will, if you see your SO in a romance scene in a typical hig h profile movie with all the right camera angles and music and all... it's bound to do at least something to you, right?

Fuck you OP for that title, I can't unsee it.

[–] ComradePorkRoll@lemmy.ml 12 points 2 years ago (2 children)

It really depends on the actor. I think we can all agree that not every actor has the same emotional maturity and therefore will not all react the same to it. For example, take a look at what Jonah Hill expects from his partners versus Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively seeming to be a healthy couple while both have had some raunchy scenes in movies featuring other people.
