Sex scene secrets of the stars

On screen it looks so perfect, but when it comes to movie sex even Hollywood stars need a trick or two up their sleeves or down their shorts.

Most celebs will tell you that love scenes are awkward, boring and about as sexy as damp longjohns. No wonder today's top stars have developed their own special tricks and techniques to spice up their on-screen sex and get them through those bare naked nightmares.

Georgina Bearns throws back the covers on the world of the sex scene, its juicy secrets and the stars' tricks of the trade.

Kate Winslet

Trick of the trade: pretend it's Leo.
It seems Brit beauty Kate has 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.'

Angelina Jolie

Trick of the trade: do it with a friend
Tomb Raider star Angelina has as much movie sex as she has real sex - 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.'

Charlize Theron

Trick of the trade: laughter
Charlize got through her romantic scenes with Christina Ricci in Monster by laughing all the way to the Oscars. 'I'd love to see 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 and which sometimes came loose. But the laughing got us through it.'
