Daniel Radcliffe: Gay Sex Is "Really F**king Painful"

Daniel Radcliffe spoke out in the November issue of Flaunt about what is was like to portray a gay man in the upcoming Allen Ginsberg film"Kill Your Darlings".

Radcliffe, who plays Ginsberg as he falls in love with Lucien Carr (Dane DeHaan), explained to the mag: "I don't think there's any difference between how one falls in love. People express love differently, person to person, but it's not gender or sexuality related. The only difference it made was obviously the actual sex scene, of course."

In the movie, Radlcliffe, 24, loses his virginity to a stranger after being rejected by Carr.


Asked about the sex scene, Radcliffe was quoted as saying: "I was talked through it by the director (John Krokidas). He would be telling me what I would be feeling in each take. Basically, gay sex, especially for the first time, is really f**king painful."

"And (Krokidas) said that he had never seen that portrayed accurately on film before. He wanted it to look like an authentic loss of virginity," Radcliffe noted.



"Kill Your Darlings" opens in  theaters on October 18.
