"Hi, I'm the sex scene watcher the Actors Union sent. Pays only $175,000 a year but someone has to do it."
As was pointed out in the article, a lot of the abuse happens BEFORE anyone gets a part in a film or advertisement.
But I have a better suggestion. Why not eliminate all nudity and sex scenes?
If I were younger maybe I’d consider sending in a resume. :o)
They already have all these rules, who are they kidding? They have them and then ignore them.
Reason #277 why I haven't visited a theater or rented or bought a movie in 10 years.
Actors have agents, bring them along to every interaction with a studio exec or other person in a position of power.
Excellent suggestion
Movies would improve.
And, just who is pushing for these observers? The way Hollyweird is going on, Harvey himself?
They should have a camera running, just to make sure there is an objective record of what may have happened./s
I don’t get any premium channels so nudity is rare, Sometimes I get free previews for HBO type channels which do show sex and nudity.
I uniformly dislike just about everything they show. There are exceptions of course. Every now and then I see a sex scene which is so realistic, I wonder if they actually are really doing it. Probably not.
Here’s my idea:
To ensure no actors and actresses are actually having sex in the sex scene, simply make sure the lenses are closely focused on the genitalia.
But, because it will be obvious then that they are not actually having sex, they should actually have sex, for the realism.
By actually having sex in the sex scene, this will ensure nobody is actually having sex in the sex scene.

Pornography is obviously superfluous.
This sounds like another union do nothing patronage job.
Because that’s what the women want to see. Remember “Fifty Shades of Gray”
So actors involved in perverted porno sex scenes want observers to worry about possible sexual harassment? This is too funny.
Question: how did people enjoy films in the 1940s and 50s? Was it possible? When I grew up in the 70s and 80s filmmakers felt they had to include every moment of the sex films. I feel it’s a bit uncomfortable. Since they had to throw sex into each film, you could be with your family or strangers at someone’s home watching a great film and all of a sudden you are watching people thrust and orgasm. It’s AWKWARD in these settings. How did anyone have any idea what happened, back in the 50s, when the screen went black after the kiss and suddenly it was the next morning? Without naked actors moaning, how could the film audience know what might have happened?? Lol.
These women think the tissue between their legs are the crown jewels. Get over yourselves, ladies.
***The move, triggered by the Harvey Weinstein sexual harassment scandal,***
And I thought all this came out in the movie THE LONELY LADY with Pia Zidora back in the 1980s, where she “sleeps” her way to the top.
“Actors demand on-set observers to oversee sex scenes shot for all major Hollywood films”
Observer: “CUT! CUT! CUT! Get that fluffer in here again pronto ... WHAT??? ... What do you mean he can’t get it up again? What the hell are we paying him for? This ain’t no Popsicle stand.”
Nudiditity with unbad kisses is prohibited.
