Jennifer Aniston's co-star used 'pillow trick' to hide manhood during sex scenes

Jake Gyllenhaal has opened up about using “the pillow technique” to obscure his genitalia during racy sex scenes with Jennifer Aniston.

The 40-year-old actor also admitted that filming the love making scenes with the Friends star, 52, had been “torture” for him.

He confessed to having a major crush on Jennifer that had lasted years – making filming those awkward moments even more nerve-wracking.

During a chat with Howard Stern, Jake had been discussing his upcoming movie The Guilty when the host brought up the raunchy moments from the 2002 film, The Good Girl.

Recalling the moment where he and The Morning Show star got steamy, Jake told Howard: “Oh yeah, it was torture. Yeah, it was. But it was also not torture, I mean, come on. It was a mix of both.”

Digging deeper, Howard asked Jake if he had to provide Jennifer with any warnings when it came to “protrusion”.

Laughing, Jake deflected by adding: “Weirdly, love scenes are awkward because there are maybe 30, 50 people watching it.

“Maybe if you have a closed set, it’s less. That doesn’t turn me on. Most of the time, it’s oddly mechanical, right?

“Also, it’s a dance. You’re choreographing for a camera… It’s one of those things — it’s like a fight scene, you’ve got to choreograph those things, and I always have tried.”

However, the actor went on to explain that it had actually been Jen’s idea to use the famous “pillow technique” to prevent moments of awkwardness.

Jake went on: “I do remember a pillow. Yeah, the pillow technique was used.

“That was just preemptive, and used — generally, always — when actually in a horizontal place in that movie.

“Everything else is whatever it was. I remember those two characters did a lot of making out on like, boxes in the back room.

“I think that was actually a Jennifer suggestion. I think she was actually very kind to suggest it before we began… She was like, ‘I’m putting a pillow here.’ That was it, that was all she said.”

In the comedy-drama The Good Girl, Jennifer enters into an affair with her retail co-worker (Jake) behind her husband’s back.
