‘OITNB’ actress was a virgin when she filmed first sex scene

Some people really have to fake it to make it.

That was the case with “Orange Is the New Black” star Yael Stone, who confessed she had never had sex before filming her first sex scene.

“I’ve never said this, but I did my first sex scene before I’d actually had sex in real life,” Stone told The Huffington Post.

The steamy shoot was for a 2001 ABC drama “The Farm.” Stone, whose on-screen counterpart was an older man, called the experience “a leap of imaginative faith.”

“A lot of times we create roles and there are experiences we haven’t had but we have to imagine it,” Stone explained. “I happened to do that as a young 15-year-old person.”

Although her first sex scene may have been awkward, she thinks differently of them now — especially as Lorna Morello on the popular Netflix series, “Orange Is the New Black.”

“The sex scenes are also a privilege, and we have to see it that way,” said Stone of Season 1. “If it’s written by great people — these people that write the show are really smart, we can trust them — I do feel like those scenes are really necessary. It’s a big part of [prison] life. It’s a big part of our lives as human beings.”
