I was a producer for a short film with several naked scenes. Very graphic scenes as well. The script called for seing male genitalia, etc. We solved it with both actors being covered with a pouch of some sorts. Basically their private parts were covered, so there is no possibility of penetration. It was a combo of tape, and some type of bandage. The choreography was practiced before we shot it, so it would look realistic, and the actors wouldn’t do anything they were not comfortable with. We also had great actors that either had worked with the director previously, or we knew as coworkers.

There were also very limited people on set, basically the cam operator, director, actors, and make up(she was female, and the female actress asked that she was there).

As depicted in The Disaster Artist, the “gear” Tommy Wiseau is wearing in his sex scene was pretty close to it, and imagine what most movies use. In Nymphomaniac interestingly, most scenes were a combo of porn performers, and actors, and the exposed genitalia was CGI from the porn performers.
