Asked why was it necessary for the actors to have real live sex, an act that can so easily be simulated for the cameras, director John Cameron Mitchell said, "I'd turn the question around and say, why is there an assumption that it shouldn't be in the film? No one says 'Why did the actor need to cry there? Why couldn't they have simulated it with menthol drops?' So by the same token, when you ask, 'Did you really need to penetrate?' Well, no. But I'd argue that the audience can tell whether the emotion is real. And if they don't buy it they step out and say, 'Oh God, here comes another fake sex scene.'"
