Angles, editing, and direction. They are actors after all, they’re paid to make it seem like they are doing something they aren’t actually doing. And this extends to any stunt personnel as well.

It is almost certainly *not* the case that they are having sex or even naked (while next to each other). They’ve gotten very creative with coverups that make it seem like you’re naked but your genitals are actually covered up.

Edit: Yes, I know it has happened occasionally. Which is why I said ” almost certainly” not just “certainly”. The vast, overwhelming majority of movies. This does not happen.
