There is nothing sexy about the sex scenes during the filming, just as you would never eat the burgers in a food commercial. What looks good on screen is not the same as what feels good in real life, whether you’re talking about mainstream movies or porn.

The best answer to your question is that it’s choreographed, just like a fight scene or a dance scene. There are specific angles that show or hide what the director wants (usually keeping in mind what is and isn’t allowed in each MPAA rating). In a typical scene where you show a close up of kissing, the actors are probably wearing clothes from the waist down. In fully nude scenes, the man will usually wear a “modesty pouch” (fun fact: in The Disaster Artist, James Franco was supposed to wear a modesty pouch but came out fully nude for his scene to intentionally disrupt the scene. Second fun fact: in Pulp Fiction, the dude raping Ving Rhames wore a Crown Royal bag because it was what they had on set ).

The actors and actresses who do agree to nude scenes (some don’t, and they use body doubles) do what they do in any acting scene. They hit their marks, they say their lines, they emote, they do it all over again for coverage. Usually the actors are professional and use some mouthwash before a kissing scene, although some intentionally eat onions or something to fuck with their co-stars.

As for how the stars deal with being aroused…they aren’t. Can you imagine being turned on while a dozen people around you are fiddling with lights and arguing over whether a dropped power strip should be picked up by the grip or the electric? The people who can do that have an entirely different skill set, and are in a different business. There’s very little overlap between the two, only about five people have ever done it. (There’s an entire documentary about how Ron Jeremy has been a background character in dozens of mainstream movies, but he’ll always be Ron Jeremy, porn star.)
