The future of steamy sex scenes in Hollywood movies or TV shows is hanging in the balance as the entertainment industry braces itself for new stringent rules associated with the spread of COVID-19.

DailyMail.com has learned that many actors have expressed concern about filming scenes involving kissing or intimacy in future projects once social distancing restrictions are lifted.

And major entertainment insurers are already drawing up new policies to protect A-list talent, on and off camera, which will likely lead to stars and production staff having to take coronavirus tests before stepping on set.

A leading Hollywood intimacy coordinator told DailyMail.com that the COVID-19 virus will likely change the production industry forever.

While an agent at top Hollywood firm United Talent Agency said everything in Tinsel Town is on hold until the issue is sorted out.

And DailyMail.com has also learned big name actors are seeking firm safeguards from studios before signing contracts, while the studios are worried some scenes will be uninsurable.

They aren’t filming now. I think the actors are telling the film studios that they don’t want to do these scenes once they resume filming.

No sex scenes unless you are young and in shape.

That definitely leaves you and me out.

The porn crowd pioneered a lot of entertainment technology and the like.

I’ll wager the lifelike bot or extremely good CGI will appear partly because of that industry.

Probably cancel the upcoming “ Who Wants To Be A Porn Star “ too. Trapped in the house I was really looking forward to it.

Then that is one good thing that Covid-19 has resulted in.
