Paul McCartney and John Lennon used to masturbate together in a circle with some of their friends. In a 2019 interview with GQ, McCartney reflected on the sexual experience with great detail. "Over at John's house, it was just a group of us," he said. "And instead of just getting roaring drunk and partying, we were all just in these chairs, and the lights were out, and somebody started masturbating, so we all did."

McCartney continued, "I think it was a one-off, or maybe it was like a two-off. It wasn't a big thing. But, you know, it was just the kind of thing you didn't think much of. It was just a group. Yeah, it's quite raunchy when you think about it. There are so many things like that from when you're a kid that you look back on, and you're, 'Did we do that?' But it was good, harmless fun. It didn't hurt anyone."

When Lana Del Rey covered "Heart-Shaped Box" in a 2012 show, Courtney Love took to Twitter and tweeted to Del Rey the true meaning behind the song: "You do know the song is about my Vagina, right? 'Throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back.' On top of which, some of the lyrics about my vagina I contributed. So, umm, next time you sing it, think about my vagina, will you? lol xc."

In one of the most talked-about TV shows from 2022, Sebastian Stan and Lily James portrayed '90s couple Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson in Pam & Tommy. From his full-body tattoos to his Mötley Crüe drumming skills, Stan was committed to portraying Lee honestly, especially when it came to his sex life.

Pam & Tommy creator Robert Siegel revealed to Variety that the scene where Sebastian Stan (Lee) talks to his penis in the mirror directly came from Lee's memoir Tommyland. "I was simply adapting a chapter from his memoir. I think it might be a first [for television]. There was gentle pushback, because you've got to push back a little when a talking penis is presented to you, but Hulu was extremely supportive."

There were four puppeteers "working with an animatronic penis" on set, which didn't intimidate Sebastian Stan's approach to acting: "By the end of it, I treated it like it was an intimate buddy conversation that one might have when they're falling in love."

Billie Eilish wrote her 2024 hit "LUNCH" (which is about a woman performing oral sex on another woman) before she had that sexual experience herself. In an interview with Rolling Stone, she said, "I wrote some of it before even doing anything with a girl, and then wrote the rest after. I've been in love with girls for my whole life, but I just didn’t understand — until, last year, I realized I wanted my face in a vagina."

If you've been living under a rock, then I'm here to tell you Heated Rivalry (based on the book series Game Changers) is one of the best shows that's hit our screens in a long, long time. And if you're anything like me, you've seen a lot of the show's spicy sex scenes between Shane (Hudson Williams) and Ilya (Connor Storrie) on your timeline, or maybe it's just my miraculous algorithm. But I digress, because there's so much more to the sex scenes than meets the eye, according to Heated Rivalry's intimacy coordinator Chala Hunter.

Chala Hunter revealed to Elle that accurate queer representation was the most important thing to capture while filming sex scenes between Shane (Hudson Williams) and Ilya (Connor Storrie). "The scenes are written very specifically as they are in the book, and [writer, creator, and director Jacob Tierney] laid out the action in the script. Portraying queer joy and queer sex and not insinuating or implying it on screen is rare," she said. "The sex is such a big part of the emotional, physical, and psychological journey that these characters go through."

And when it came to Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie filming oral sex scenes, Chala Hunter had a bunch of props to make it seem real. "I had a huge kit of all kinds of pasties and intimacy garments. I also have different layers of thickness if we need to add more padding for an actor's comfort, for the action to take place," she said. "It might look like Hudson is rubbing his face in Connor's crotch, but some of the time, he's anchoring his forehead to just above Connor's crotch."
