i find it pretty hard (literally) to write down a whole scene.
should i try to write as many details as i can or is it something that rolls along on the set?
can anyon...

I wrote a sex scene once that went like this:
INT. BEDROOM
BOOMCHICKAWAWA!
(End scene)
It doesn't get any better than that, at least not in my thighs - I mean, at least not in my eyes.
I'm going to steal that, Bill ;)

Expand commentIf writing the actual sex itself is proving difficult, you could cut to Exact moments after. There is powerful subtext in this and it can depict both their frames of mind, and as to whether or not the sex went well. You can also set the intimate scene to include items, that later on are involved in moving plot on. Eg A gun on bedside table, a note shoved into a red high heel ......etc etc. Eg. They both lie bunched up on either side of the bed, not facing each other, the only sound the cranking old ceiling fan. He grimaces and bites his lip, before sitting up and quickly gathering his strewn clothes. Only one boot on the floor beneath him. His eyes dart anxiously around the room. “Have you seen my boot” She pulls the quilt over her head and does not answer. Or Eg. They wake facing each other, the wool tartan rug covering their naked bodies up to the waist, and she reaches out to hug him. He cups her chin with one hand, tilting her face upwards, forcing her eyes to meet his. She smiles. “Hey girl. We are good. No. F...... Incredible.” The two above excerpts are written a bit simple cos Ive only just rushed them off my keypad , to make the quick point of comparison .....that one is Awkward while the other Intimate.

Expand commentPierre: It's all yours. I also wrote another one for a producer who wanted to make an art-house type-of film. In the sex scene, Instead of using words, I copied and pasted an image of Klimt's "The Kiss". They passed on it. Can you believe that? We're talking Klimt here! Art-house my ass, the freaking Fascists!

Expand commentI've written quite a few sex scenes now. Not in screenplays, but in novels. Well, I guess I did in Harold Godwinson. Writing sex is okay but make sure it's realistic. That means 50 Shades sex is probably out. It's neither realistic nor sexy. But watching films with sex scenes is probably good advice. Watch it, read it in scripts. Hell, read it in novels. I wrote a spicy one just the other night, LOL.
