Ewan McGregor recently recalled an awkward moment from the 1998 film “Velvet Goldmine” involving a s^x scene with co-star Christian Bale.

During an appearance on The Graham Norton Show in 2011, McGregor joked about his discomfort with s^x scenes, saying they are “awkward to watch and to do.

” He then described the experience of filming a s^x scene with Bale on a rooftop in London’s Kings Cross, which went on for so long that McGregor became concerned the crew had stopped filming without telling them.

“We heard ‘action!’ so we started to slowly [simulate s^x]. The film crew were on the other side.

And then it went on and on… And then I just thought, I would have come by now,” McGregor explained.

“So I went round to the non-camera side of his ear and went, ‘I think I would have come by now. I’m going to have a look.’ And I looked over and they were packing up the cameras! They must have gone ‘cut’ really quietly.”

Following the resurfacing of “Velvet Goldmine” on Netflix, McGregor’s story has become popular again, with social media users finding humor in the situation.

Many viewers have commented on the interview, suggesting that McGregor and Bale should do an interview together or simply expressing their love for the film.

While s^x scenes can be awkward and uncomfortable for some actors, they can also be difficult to navigate in real life relationships.

Jacob Lucas, a 30-year-old dating expert from Westbury, Wiltshire, advises waiting at least three dates before having s^x with someone new.

Lucas believes that having s^x before forming an emotional bond can lead to negative consequences in the relationship.

“If you meet someone new, and you’re having s^x too fast, you can’t expect that person to go for a long term relationship. Because then, you have set the foundations as just s^x,” Lucas said.

“Waiting three dates means you have time to form an emotional bond rather than it being just physical.”

Lucas acknowledges that it’s a fine line, as he also advises against going celibate and hyper-fixating on s^x.

He recommends seeing s^x as something you do with someone you actually like and waiting until you know the person is good for you before engaging in a s^xual relationship.

“A lot of my clients who wait until the third date end up in long term relationships.

If you want a relationship but you have s^x too soon, it just won’t last – you need to get to know them,” Lucas said.

By waiting to work out if someone is right for you, Lucas believes that the romance might stand a better chance.

However, he also warns that everyone is different, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach to relationships.

“It’s an old method, but it works, and sometimes things don’t need to be fixed,” he said.

Ultimately, the decision of when to have s^x in a relationship is up to personal preference, as long as both parties are consenting and not breaking any laws.

Whether it’s waiting three dates, six dates, or half an hour, the key is to be honest with yourself and your partner about your intentions and expectations.
