Hollywood actors have often described sex scenes as very uncomfortable. For one particular actor, however, filming a sex scene went from uncomfortable to extremely awkward very fast when he could not control his erection.

Henry Cavill revealed to Men's Fitness Magazine, reported by the UK magazine, Express that when he was filming an intimate scene for the historical TV drama, The Tudors, he could not help but get "a little bit hard."

"A girl had to be on top of me, she had spectacular breasts, and I hadn't rearranged my stuff into a harmless position," the 32-year-old actor from "The Man from U.N.C.L.E," admitted. "She's basically rubbing herself all over me and, um, it got a bit hard. I had to apologize profusely afterwards. It's not great when you're in a professional acting environment and somebody gets a boner, is it? No, not acceptable."

Despite the embarrassing situation, Cavill stated that he was not dissuaded from filming sex scenes in general before adding that it is never "sexy" when he does film these scenes.

"You don't think of sex scenes as showing your bum to the nation. It's actually acutely uncomfortable being naked in a roomful of people," the British hearthrob said. "The very last thing it is is sexy. The actual physicality is very uncomfortable. All you're doing is smacking your nuts against someone, and nothing is going in."

Aside from talking about sex scenes, Cavill revealed that he is currently single but does not plan on dating like an American.

"American dating is like carpet bombing," Cavill explained. "You date 16 women all at once and eventually one of them is supposed to pop out of the crowd? I can't do that. I'm 32 years old. I do want to find a wife and raise a family. I prefer the British way: get talking and see what happens, one at a time."

Cavill has been previously linked to actress Kaley Cuoco, who has gotten married, and MMA fighter, Gina Carano.
