Scandal star Kerry Washington has said she finds filming sex scenes with her co-star Tony Goldwyn "hard to do" and "awkward".
The actress, who plays Olivia Pope on the drama, told Allure magazine, "They're hard to do. Sex scenes are always awkward.
"You're doing things that you're supposed to do with only certain people in your life. Because this is not your real partner in life, doing that is awkward. And then doing it in a room full of people is awkward.''
She added that it is also awkward as she has a relationship with Goldwyn's wife and family, "Particularly with a show like ours, where people are so invested in the chemistry, you just learn to be careful, because people's real relationships in life are important.
"I so respect and admire his wife and him and their family, and he feels the same way about mine. And so you learn to be careful about how you say things."
