American actress regrets filming 'uncomfortable' sex scene for very specific reason
Sex scenes in films can be an extremely awkward experience.
If you're watching a film with your parents and an unexpected romp comes on, it's bound to get more than a little uncomfortable.
But sex scenes can also been tricky for the actors engaging in them too.

Some actors have outright refused to do them, such as Julia Roberts who asked for a love scene to be toned down in the 2009 flick Duplicity.
The Pretty Woman star reportedly said that the steamy material was 'not really her kind of thing'.
But some actors have agreed to film in the buff and since regretted taking part.
Among their ranks is Juliette Danielle, who is best known for appearing in The Room.
If you're not familiar with the movie, here's a quick summary.
Released in 2003, The Room has since gained infamy as the 'worst film ever made' thanks to its awful script and laughable acting.
The stars have generally embraced the film's cult classic status, but Danielle has regrets about one specific scene.
Speaking in a Reddit AMA [Ask Me Anything], she revealed that watching the sex scene left her feeling 'mortified'.
A particular source of regret was the fact that a rose petal had become stuck to her back during the on-screen romp.
When watched back, it looked as if though she had a scab.
Not very sexy.
Talking of how director Tommy Wiseau - who also appeared as the main character - worked the sex scenes, Danielle said: "[Shooting the sex scenes] was uncomfortable but pretty standard.
"The only difference is that Tommy used ALL the footage ... rather than whittling it down to a short sequence like most do."
Given that the film has earned a certain degree of infamy, you might expect that she regrets the whole experience.
But that's not the case - Danielle said the flick led to her getting other opportunities and she's made her peace with being 'Lisa from The Room'.
However, baring all still remains a regret for her: "I did regret making it only because of the nudity thing."
Since the film's release twenty years ago, Danielle has kept in touch with fans of the film and attended screenings and fan conventions.
In 2017, she returned to acting in the films Dead Kansas, Ghost Shark 2: Urban Jaws and Till Morning.
The Room, despite being a box office bomb, has inspired books, films and even a video game.
Not bad for the 'worst film of all time', I guess.
