Question
dear sir/ma, according to the answer i read on this particulat question, mr Arlene (MsDirector) said is not real fine.
but what of the fact that we saw contacts, i mean both their private parts and ejaculations. for example in 9 1\2 week, this film we saw life sex their to be sincere so how can that be fake.
pls i will like to get my reply.
thanks

Answer
Sir,

I did not work on the film 9 1/2 weeks, but I can tell you that the sex portrayed in the film was simulated and not real. Otherwise, the film would have received an "X" rating. With an "X" rating, no major film distributor would have agreed to distribute the film.
