You won’t believe how Olivia Wilde and Cooper Hoffman got ready for their BDSM scenes in the new Gregg Araki film, ‘I Want Your Sex’!

We just heard some wild news from the set. Cooper Hoffman, believe it or not, had never filmed a sex scene before this movie. Talk about jumping into the deep end!

Imagine walking onto a film set for the first time. And then you see it all around you: ball gags, stilettos, whips, chains, dildos. Strap-ons, too! We can only guess at the aesthetic of that room. Definitely a bold, intense vibe. A lot to take in for anyone, especially a newbie.

So, how did they handle the pressure? Olivia Wilde, who co-stars, shared a secret. They used a pain scale. Like, a real medical pain scale, from 1 to 10. This helped them keep things safe and clear during filming.

She even admitted to hitting him. Really hard! But Cooper rated it. Just a seven or an eight on that scale. Wow. It shows how committed they were to the roles and to each other’s comfort, even in such, well, *intense* moments. What a way to break the ice!

Our Take

We think this is super interesting. It’s a smart way to approach tricky scenes. Filmmakers often talk about consent and safety. Using a pain scale makes it super clear. It’s a practical, real-world solution for a very unusual situation. Plus, it gives us a peek into the raw, honest work actors do. Good for them for being so open about it!
