OK, so I'm not an acting major, but I'm in an upper division acting class right now with me. It's a fun class but we just found out the scene we have to do for our midterm there are two ones we can be assigned and one is a make-out scene. My friend refuses to do it since shes never had her first kiss and its a very uncomfortable scene. For me I'm not quite as adimant i've had my first kiss and such, but I still dont want to kiss random guys, especially since the next guy i kiss for real I dont want to kiss until after we've been dating at least a month....My teacher said we dont have to do the scene, but for actors how do you handle situations like this?

Hey Sportygirl,
I've had similar experiences in the past when I was in high school. For me, it's just acting. I don't find anything wrong with it.
But if it bothers you, don't do it. There's nothing wrong with saying no and there's nothing wrong with wanting to wait to kiss someone you actually care about!

See thats the thing I have had my first kiss, in fact more than one first kiss so I'm not in teh same situation as my friend. I completly understand her saying no, its just the situation its in and the particular kissing scene I think that makes me uncomfortable, the other ones are like cute kisses i guess, this scene is mainly just heading toward sex, at one point the guy is even supposed to start to undo her clothes.I know its just acting, its just the circumstances in which this takes place and the fact that it is literally making out with a person, i wont meet till that day.

I've had kissing scenes in theater in high school before as well, but those had very different circumstances than this.

Well, I hate to be the one to say it but that is probably something that your friend should have considered before taking an acting class. At this point its simply up to her whether she can live with the thought of her first kiss being a fake one. If I were her I would probably decline to do the scene, I mean she has been saving herself for some time and you know... you always remember your first kiss.

I once did a scene where I played a prostitute. The characters didn't actually kiss, but they did do uh, 'other stuff'. (The audience didn't see anything, we just got under the covers and faked it.) My boyfriend wasn't too happy, but to me it was just a role.

Somehow, I was more comfortable playing a prostitute than the character in the first sctipt we lookied at. That one had much more physical contact and I think there was some kissing. I wasn't down with kissing a guy I wasn't dating, so I X-ed that one

I believe you get to read the script before you take a role? And you are permitted for long-term roles to dictate in contract, what you are comfortable with and what you are not comfortable with. Personally, I wouldn't do it but then again, I'm not an actor lol Just say you're not comfortable with that part of the scene and ask to take it out of the script.

She obviously doesn't have to do the scene if she doesn't want. If she's saving her first kiss I suppose thats pretty important to her.

Personally I dont get the whole first kiss thing, I never thought kissing was that special to hold out on. Its really sort of "eh". After 2 minutes of kissing someone I'm looking at my watch (no, it's not because I'm a bad kisser)...it just gets repeative. And slobbery.

I don't want to kiss until the wedding day, or even after that, depending uopn the attractivness of the girl. There's still people who wait until their wedding day for a kiss.

YES.......... Imagine kissing someone then they have left their bad breath slobber all over your mouth. Then imagine walking around all day smelling something funky. Then you come to realize its your upper lip cause the person you just kissed had a stink mouth!
