This is interesting. She's an actress who has also done sex scenes, so she presumably knows the deal.
I've never acted, but I understand there are a couple different schools of acting. One of them is that it's all pretend, and the other is that you are trying to actually get into the mind of the character. To live as the character would live. And you just act naturally while becoming that character. You hear stories of these actors going around "in character" while on the set. Seems like doing a sex scene in that form of acting would be like actually "making love" even if there is no penetration.
I've heard that some actors who do sex scenes in movies actually hook up in real life. Penelope Cruz is known for sleeping with many of her co-stars. I'm not sure if it's just for fun, or maybe it's a way to deal with emotions felt while going through the scenes. But apparently Patricia Aquette knows.
