The L Wordnever shied away from nudity or sex.
As it turns out, the cast and crew took these very seriously.
When EW reunited the cast, they talked love scenes with other women and doing sex scene research.
Mia Kirshner:These girls said that my breasts were the ninth character.
Jennifer Beals:Well, the ninth and the 10th.
Kirshner:Of lesbians having sex.
Beals:We had to watch a sex video because we had to do all these sex scenes.
So we could watch the video and see what worked and didnt work and analyze why it didnt work.
It didnt work if people werent fully committed to it.
Shahi:I could have used that viewing.
Sarah, this is Kate.
And so in this scene, Kate is going to be going down on you.
And its just like, Whoa!
