The West Wing star suggested that sex on screen never used to be a big deal
Rob Lowe expressed confusion over the praise for Nicole Kidman's sex scenes in *Babygirl*, questioning why they were labeled as "brave." During a podcast conversation with Kristin Davis, Lowe noted that sex scenes were once a routine part of an actor's job, often appearing around page 73 of a script to advance the narrative. He acknowledged that while some films have faced backlash for being too sexual, he felt it was unusual to celebrate sex scenes as daring. Nicole Kidman's character in *Babygirl* is a CEO involved in an affair with her intern, and the film's director, Halina Reijn, credited the use of an intimacy coordinator for creating more authentic and daring portrayals of sexuality.
