How good are the sex scenes?

Poppy Transfusion: I assume that when you say I "spoil[ed] a good post", you mean I spoiled my own post.

Regarding the often-mentioned alleged difficulties of doing sex scenes: Those difficulties are of several kinds, not just erectile; and it's my impression that for most male actors, at least the ones in their twenties and thirties, the most frequent erectile difficulty is avoiding an erection, not having one on cue. You occasionally hear about an actor's penis having to be taped to his leg or abdomen during the filming of a sex scene, so that it won't be pointing and prodding and probing where it shouldn't. Furthermore, since it's so rare for an actor to be required to have an erection on camera, how would most actors even know how difficult or non-difficult doing that might be?

In the case of Plemya, I seriously doubt that the boy's flaccidity was the result of any insuperable erectile difficulties on the part of actor Grigoriy Fesenko, particularly since if director Myroslav Slaboshpytskyi had wanted Fesenko to have an on-camera erection and Fesenko had somehow found it difficult, he could simply have taken Viagra or whatever.

I repeat my contention that showing a teenage boy as being flaccid at such a moment of incipient coition, particularly with such a fetching partner as the character portrayed by actress Yana Novikova, is pretty unrealistic. I assume, though, that director Slaboshpytskyi chose such a depiction because he felt that the tumescent alternative would just be too taboo-violating; and I suspect that it took some special effort--mental, pharmaceutical, or otherwise--for Fesenko to stay flaccid during the filming of that scene.
