Jennifer Lopez had to wear 'guards on her chest' in sex scene with actor who wore 'd**k tie'

A ‘d**k tie’ sounds like some kind of torture practice. Well, or something a little extra kinky.

But throw in a woman with ‘guards on her chest’ and you’ve got an odd picture of a tied-up pair of people.

And yet that’s what the real behind-the-scenes was like for the 2015 film, The Boy Next Door.

Getting to live out the fantasy of plenty of teenage lads, Ryan Guzman starred opposite Jennifer Lopez in the thriller with steamy sex scenes.

Only it wasn’t so sexy in real life, as he wore a ‘d**k tie’ and the singer had guards on her chest. The then-28-year-old admitted the filming wasn’t as enjoyable as it might seem in your head as Lopez had a load of ‘cool gadgets’ and he had to get nude in front of a load of people he’d only recently met.

Guzman played a 19-year-old in the film, who develops a dangerous obsession with his high-school teacher (Lopez) after they have a one-night stand.

Having to be ‘baring all’ in front of the ‘On the Floor’ singer, he had to have his private parts strapped up to make it as tight as possible.

So yeah, the ‘d**k tie’ would prevent blood flow to the area – you know, stopping any awkward accidental boners.

He explained to Cosmopolitan during promo for The Boy Next Door: “It's this elastic thing on this sock where you make it as tight as you can so that you get no blood flow or anything going on, and it kind of holds on to your man parts so the sock isn't, you know, pulled off during the scene.”

Guzman admitted to being a little jealous of Lopez, who was pretty well protected.

“There's a guard there. She was wearing something on top of her and there was no full-on hand-to-genitalia, I mean... it was just, yeah. We kept it professional,” he said.

“Even when I'm grabbing on her chest, there were guards on them too, and my hand had to be positioned in a certain way so it didn't show any of the guards [in the shot].”

He added that he ‘didn’t even know’ the guards existed before he was involved in making films himself.

“And do you have them for men? Because all I'm getting right now is a sock,” he recalled thinking.

So yeah, while you might watch those scenes thinking Guzman is getting quite a handful, all he’s really grabbing is a ‘guard’. Kind of ruins the ‘magic’, right?
