Sex Scenes Blown Up

The global pandemic has everyone in Hollywood putting on their thinking caps and trying to be creative. Social distancing guidelines make it harder to transmit the Coronia Virus, but they make it very difficult to get cheeky on screen. CBS soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful has found a way to film sexy encounters and it’s basically a bag of hot air.

When you’re posed with a problem, you have to put on your thinking cap to solve it sometimes. The problem was, “How do we film sex scenes when our actors can’t be within 6 feet of each other?” The creative team at The Bold and the Beautiful has opted to pull some old blow up dolls out of storage to stand in for actors when they can’t be close.

Now, I know what you’re thinking…How realistic can these blow up dolls even be?

The answer? Not very realistic at all.

Does it really matter though? Put some makeup and a wig on a pig and you’ve still got a pig. In times of crisis, you need to be an innovator, rather than a complainer. I’m not sure that the audience of The Bold and the Beautiful is looking for realism when it comes to their entertainment. Is it such a big deal that they are using large, inflatable sex toys for sex scenes?

In addition to that plan, staff also decided that the actors can use their actual, real life partners if the scene calls for better angles or moving bodies. The film editors on that show are going to need combat pay or something, but their skills are really going to be in overdrive. Both people in the scene would have to test negative for Covid-19 before they were allowed to participate. If no “stunt cock” is available, the actors are also going to be shooting kissing scenes solo.

Yup.

It’s going to be exactly like making out with yourself in a mirror when you were trying to figure out how to effectively make out.

What do you Peepz think about filming sex scenes this way? Do you think that it’s a waste of time to use blow-up dolls as a stand in when actors aren’t able to physically touch each other? Would you watch a show that you know used props for people? I think I’m going to watch a few of the new episodes of The Bold and the Beautiful so that I can take a shot every time I recognize a sex doll on camera.
