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.

This will only impact non-perverts...

The LGBT crowd's movies, TV programs, Pope's appointments, and K-12 sex education content will continue unabated...

I’m surprised at how many “Christian” women flocked to that book.

Replace them with robots, who’ll know the difference?

Sounds like whoever replaced Weinstein as king of the Casting Couch might have a tougher time finding hot, ambitious, babes to satisfy his desires.

Wow, they might actually have to write an actual plot now. :D

We have a winner.

Just to remind ourselves it can be done: time for a list of hottest scenes done without kissing, groping or simulated sex. My game, so I get to go first. "Here's looking at you, kid." Casablanca.
