Kaley Cuoco explained why she's done filming sex scenes and had a good way to 'fake her way through'

Sex scenes must be embarrassing for all involved, and The Big Bang Theory Star Kaley has had enough

The thought of having to film a sex scene is enough to fill most of us with fear, and Kaley Cuoco has had enough.

Despite what we see on screen, there are awkward angles and even more awkward noises, making the process of filming a sex scene anything but sexy.

Even with intimacy coordinators onset, it's still an embarrassing and awkward experience for many, and The Big Bang Theory star Kaley has now sworn off them.

Who can forget the now-iconic scene on Love Actually of stand-ins posing for an explicit act to check the lighting was just so?

Maybe Kaley took inspiration from it, as she now refuses to do the saucy scenes herself.

The actress, who turns 39 this weekend, confessed she 'doesn’t have to do those things anymore'.

Her real-life pregnancy was worked into her latest show, comedy series Based On A True Story, and admits they used a body double wearing a prosthetic bump in her place.

She told USA Today: "I don’t roll that way. I need someone else to do that stuff."

"Also, who wants to see that? Not my thing," she said, of filming sex scenes while pregnant.

"I’d rather let someone else do it, and that’s what’s movie magic [is for]. We don’t have to do those things anymore. We can have someone else do it, and we can fake our way through."

She compared the situation to her on-screen husband's tennis prowess.

Talking about Nathan, played by Chris Messina, she joked: "You think that Chris Messina played tennis? Please! He was terrible! That’s his double."

It's all a lie!

Kaley gave birth to her first child with real-life partner Tom Pelphrey in March last year.

She revealed that the body double meant she could cut herself some slack throughout her pregnancy on what was a very physical role.

"I had to be on my feet a lot. It was a lot. And by the end, I was nine months pregnant," she exclaimed.

In a wince-inducing admission, she revealed: "So the fight scene at the end near the grave − the fantasy − a lot of that was done by my double because it was like I was literally about to give birth, like any second."

It wasn't worth the risk to Kaley and her baby so using the body double was deemed to be the right call, and sensibly so.

Her daughter Matilda arrived safely, and Kaley has since said that she would like to have more children.

She told the SmartLess podcast: "She’s [Matilda] pretty awesome. I’m not going to lie we have some very nice help – I feel guilty even saying it – I feel our relationship has survived because we have all this help…‘My mum is the best, so is Tom’s mum. They come in, they help, they don’t overstep .. we’re just really lucky."

Body doubles for the pregnancy, and fantastic parents to help with the childrearing, she's got this parenting lark cracked.
