Why would they avoid this?

I would think everyone staring at you could be a boner killer.

I read or heard something one time Ewan McGregor was filming a sex scene in a movie and had an "accident". They never said what it was but they way they were hinting was that he by accident inserted himself into the actress.

Because most of them are ghey

Id be an accident prone actor.

It sure looked like Billy Bob and Halle Berry did the deed for real in that movie.

There's a snopes discussion board saying this; however, he's only admitted to getting a boner while filming his first ever sex scene as an actor with Alice Krige (played Borg Queen in First Contact - Christian Bale's mom at the beginning of Reign of Fire)

Yep, for many actors its not about getting an erection but rather how to appear engaged in the activity.

Kate beckinsale said that in the underworld 2 love scene her costar used tape to strap it to his leg BC he was nervous doing a love scene with her husband directing

I've heard Courtney Cox got accidentally stabbed in "3000 miles to Graceland", and Donald Southerland and some actress did it (not on accident) in the 70's while shooting some movie.
