Is Adam Demos Wearing a Prosthetic in 'Sex/Life' Shower Scene? Series Creator Responds!

Adam Demos has a full frontal scene in the new Netflix series Sex/Life that everyone is talking about.

The 35-year-old Australian actor puts EVERYTHING on display during a shower scene in the third episode of season one.

So, was that all him or was he wearing a prosthetic for the scene? Series creator Stacy Rukeyser is speaking out to talk about that scene and respond to the speculation.

During an interview with Collider, Stacy was asked if Adam used a body double. She responded, “No. That’s not a body double. I mean, people usually ask is it real or is it a prosthetic?”

She continued, “And I can tell you what Adam Demos says about it which is, a gentleman never tells. So, we are leaving that up to the viewer’s imagination.” So there you have it… it sounds like we’ll never find out if it’s real or not!

Sex/Life is the story of a love triangle between Billie (Sarah Shahi), her husband Cooper (Mike Vogel), and her past that takes a provocative new look at female identity and desire.

Adam plays the woman’s ex-boyfriend who she can’t get out of her head and we take a look back at their passionate exploits while she writes in her journal about her past. In one scene, the husband follows the ex and works out alongside him in the gym while spying on him. When they go to the showers, the husband sees what his wife’s ex is packing down there.

Stacy explained why that scene was so important and why the nudity wasn’t gratuitous.

“Most importantly, it’s important for Cooper’s character. It was important to show how down the rabbit hole obsessed he has gotten, that he is now stalking his wife’s ex-boyfriend. It’s all internal, there’s no dialogue, and Mike Vogel does such an incredible job with it, but what you’re seeing is him going, ‘I should not be doing this. I should not be following him from his office. Now I’m following him from his office. Oh my God, I should not be following him into the gym. Oh my God, I’m following him into the gym. I am buying clothes. I’m working out. I’m obsessive watching him. He’s going into the shower. I should not go into the shower. Oh, my God, I’m going into the shower. Now I’m in the shower. I should not look down. I should not look down. I cannot help it. Oh, my God,’” Stacy said.

She continued, “So it was not just for titillation’s sake. It’s a real story point to show how obsessed he is, and that that’s what it’s come to. And these really weird, mixed feelings that he’s having where it is titillating for him to read about his wife’s experiences and what happened, and they’re acting them out, but it’s also maddening and horrifying at the same time. So, that’s really where that came from.”

“Again, so much of what we set out to do was a new look at female desire and sexuality, and so often in films or TV shows that are even allegedly about desire, sexuality, it’s still so much from the male point of view. it’s really about the kind of sex that the man likes and will the woman agree to, like that kind of sex, or come to like that kind of sex, and the camera hangs on the woman’s body and she’s objectified, and we talked so much about that this is about her experience. And frankly, the camera hangs on the male bodies a little bit more than on her body because that’s her gaze, that’s her experience of it,” Stacy added. “And so, I really felt like we couldn’t do this show without at least one piece of that, and that it’s really about Cooper and his character. It’s not even really a sexual moment. It’s about intimidation and measuring up and all of that.”
