Being one of the most beautiful women on the planet makes things harder for Jennifer Aniston and her sex scenes. That\'s why she wants it fast. \'It can be nerve-wracking,\' says Jen. \'There is just no way around it. You know, if it is awkward, there is nothing sexy. But you just have to make it fun. I\'ve only had a couple and it was 30 seconds and it was over.\'
Lie back and think of... anything

The Queen of pop has shocked more than a few times on the big screen over the years but even Madonna has a trick up her sleeve to get through those difficult intimate moments. \'Those scenes are always very awkward and not any fun,\' says Madge. \'It\'s strange to suddenly find yourself in intimate situations with someone you don\'t know. You just have to treat those scenes like any other and just concentrate on the acting - nothing else.\'
Pretend it\'s Leo

It seems Brit beauty Kate Winslet never got over her \'Titanic\' tussle with Leonardo DiCaprio, and why should she when the memory of that steamy moment is so handy for her other love scenes? Kate began pining for Leo when she needed a hunky guy for a love scene in \'Iris\', and couldn\'t find anyone she liked as much as him. She finally found a man willing to help her out in her topless love scene, shut her eyes and thought of her time on \'Titanic\'. \'You couldn\'t see his face so it didn\'t really matter what he looked like,\' says Winslet. \'So I just made out that it was me and Leo all over again. It really helps get through those scenes.\'
Do it to music
Johnny Depp,celebrity,Film,celebrity news
Johnny Depp Premiere Pirates of the Caribbean 2
Johnny Depp is well known for his bizarre on-set quirks, including having music played to him to suit his character and situation. And it seems he doesn\'t even turn it off when he hops in the sack for those more intimate scenes. \'I spent about three hours in bed with him, and we\'d only just met,\' recalls Johnny\'s \'From Hell\' co-star Sophia Myles. \'He was sensitive, compassionate and charming but he always had his music on. He has a guy who does nothing but play specific tracks for him.\'
Do it with a friend

\'Tomb Raider\' star Angelina Jolie has as much movie sex as she has real sex in her hectic life - well, almost. Not surprisingly she has few qualms about baring all for film but she finds the best results are achieved among friends. Her favourite pretend romp is the one she shared with old pal Ethan Hawke in \'Taking Lives\'. \'It was funny doing it with him because we\'re such good friends,\' says Angelina. \'The first few times he backed me against the wall we just burst out laughing. When it\'s a friend it makes it more comfortable to do sex scenes.\'
Have a laugh

Charlize Theron got through her romantic scenes with Christina Ricci in \'Monster\' by laughing all the way to the Oscars. \'I\'d love to see the out-takes from it because Christina and I laughed way too much,\' says the South African stunner. \'We drove the sound guy bananas by giggling into his mike. It was the first time that I had ever kissed a woman in a film, and it was OK kissing Christina except for the dental implants I had to wear, which sometimes came loose. But the laughing got us through it.\'
Be a fart machine

Aussie beauty Naomi Watts has found the perfect way to break the ice during her on screen romps - by breaking wind. The 26-year-old actress has never been shy of doing the deed on film and even starred in a girl-on-girl scene in \'Mulholland Drive\'. It was her latest romp with Hollywood hunk Mark Ruffalo against a tree in \'We Don\'t Live Here Anymore\' that revealed her windy secret. \'We were up against the tree, completely naked, trying to act this scene in front of all the crew and cameras,\' recalls Ruffalo. \'And then Naomi, to ease the tension, had a fart machine going. You\'re about to do a scene, and all of a sudden it\'s like, \'Prrpt, prrt-prrrpt, prrt-prrrpt\'. Instant defuse.\'
Don\'t show your (lack of) excitement

ewan mcgregor
When it comes to getting your kit off on screen, Ewan McGregor excels. Explicit sex scenes with Kelly Macdonald in \'Trainspotting\', full frontal in \'Velvet Goldmine\', and extended exposure in \'The Pillow Book\', Ewan is happy to bare all. \'I\'m never aware of the crew - you shouldn\'t be. I could have a soundman lying under the bed and I wouldn\'t notice him. My only concern when I\'m doing a sex scene is that I don\'t get my a**ehole in shot, also that my penis doesn\'t show when I\'m supposed to be having sex with someone - because that would be a bit of a giveaway, wouldn\'t it? There have been moments where, ahem, things have happened down there but I just take a few moments. You know, the director says, "Let\'s try that again,", and I say, "No, give me 10 seconds".\'
Pretend it\'s not you
Halle Berry,celebrity,Film,celebrity news
halle berry cannes
Halle Berry\'s steamy clinch in \'Monster\'s Ball\', the film for which she won an Oscar, is said to be one of the sexiest in movie history - it even turns on the star herself. Halle\'s trick is to look at her more intimate scenes as if she has nothing to do with them, that way she gets to enjoy them with the rest of us. \'When I first watched the scene I thought, "Wow, look at her",\' says the \'Catwoman\' beauty. \'I never really connect with myself in those scenes, and I think that\'s how I am able to look at them.\'

Hugh Grant has been lucky enough to enjoy love scenes with some of Tinseltown\'s most beautiful actresses, including Renée Zellweger, Sandra Bullock and Julia Roberts. With his typically direct style, Hugh candidly admits that he loves sex scenes - and even gets physically aroused by them! \'I\'ve always enjoyed sex scenes, though you\'re not really supposed to,\' says the \'Bridget Jones\' star. \'The classic answer is, "Oh, it\'s not sexy at all because there are so many technicians standing around." But I\'ve always found them extremely arousing.\'
Don\'t show the family
Salma Hayek,celebrity,Film,celebrity news
Salma Hayek
Salma Hayek found her first movie love scenes in \'Desperado\' almost impossible to get through because she kept thinking about her family seeing her nude. Salma remembers, \'I nearly got fired. I cried throughout the love scene. That\'s why you never see long pieces of the love scene. It\'s little pieces cut together. I didn\'t want to be naked in front of a camera. The whole time, I\'m thinking of my father and my brother.\'
Pick the right partner

Scarlet Johansson\'s heartthrob hunk Josh Hartnett has never had a problem with sex scenes because he\'s always had partners who don\'t care if he shows a little too much - if you know what he means. \'Those scenes are always embarrassing for both sides,\' he says. \'The biggest problem is if you don\'t get aroused then the woman is mad at you, and if you do get aroused the woman is mad at you! But I\'ve been lucky to work with cool girls who didn\'t really care.\'

Jason Biggs
As Hollywood becomes more accepting of depicting gay relationships in the movies, increasing numbers of actors are also having to prepare themselves for same-sex love scenes. Jason certainly didn\'t enjoy his screen snog with Seann William Scott in gross-out comedy \'American Pie: The Wedding\'. \'It was definitely different from kissing a girl,\' he says. \'He had a bunch of stray hairs on his lip. The worst part was that we had to do 30 takes. In future I\'m gonna make sure they shave before I kiss them!\'
Suck on a mint

Will smith - good hair
Will Smith was obviously too modest to reveal this little trick himself but crew on his movie hit \'I, Robot\' were more than happy to reveal all. \'Will is a big guy - and I mean big,\' says one crew-member. \'When he did his nude shower scene in the beginning of the movie he had no choice but to get some tape and hide it away otherwise we would have been straight to video and adults-only stores!\'

patricia arquette
When Patricia Arquette was called upon to romp naked for the film \'Human Nature\' she just couldn\'t find the courage to show the world her most intimate parts. \'That\'s when I came up with the idea for this pubic rug or hairpiece, which was stitched on to my panties,\' she proudly states. \'I think you can safely say it was just the job although it did cause me some problems, especially when I was posing for publicity photos. The guys couldn\'t take their eyes off it!\'
