They say the scenes, which they often don't know about in advance, leave them "shaken" and "upset."

TL;DR: Video game actors being told to mo-cap sex scenes without being told beforehand

    Yeah, what they’re asking for is pretty standard stuff in other media. A friend of mine is an actor who played a scene where he had to shoot a masturbation scene. He was alone in a room with like 3-4 people: sound guy, camera guy, director, and I think the intimacy coach was there too.

    Having a whole team watch you pretend to have sex is not okay, what the hell.

      I mean, most of the team should be watching because they’re trying to do their jobs, not because they’re ogling the actors. And this is even more removed from sex than movies’ simulated sex, because I assume they’re in full mocap suits and everything.

      Hell, you don’t even need both people doing motion at the same time, as long as you have the poses roughly correct. You can edit the motion curves to make the rhythm match.

      the problem here is the consent and awareness, not the actual scene. It should be entirely illegal to approach production like this.
