Nicole Kidman has admitted there were times she didn't want to 'orgasm' anymore when shooting a new erotic drama.
The actor is certainly no stranger to raunchy roles within film, but her latest flick is surely up there for being the most out there.
Babygirl is Kidman's next adventure, and it seems to be her most wildest yet.

An official synopsis for Babygirl reads: "A high-powered CEO puts her career and family on the line when she begins a torrid affair with a much younger intern."
CEO Rommy (Kidman) puts her career on the line when she starts a risky affair with company intern, Samuel (Harris Dickinson), but will it all go wrong for the woman in power?
Fans will find out when Babygirl is shown across cinemas the US on Christmas Day, but until then Kidman is doing the media rounds talking about the film.
And the 57-year-old has admitted filming some of the more intense scenes were a bit too much to handle.
"There was an enormous amount of sharing and trust and then frustration. It's like, 'Don't touch me,'" she said.
"There were times when we were shooting where I was like, 'I don't want to orgasm any more'.
"Don't come near me. I hate doing this. I don't care if I am never touched again in my life! I'm over it.
"It was so present all the time for me that it was almost like a burnout."
During a separate Q&A about the new movie, Kidman spoke about the 'liberating' experience of starring in the erotic thriller.
According to People, she explained: "I’ve always been on a quest as an actor, I’m always going, where have I not been? And what can I explore as a human being? And this was an area I’d never been."
Speaking of the role as a whole, Kidman added: "There’s a sort of a jump off the cliff thing where you go, okay, I’m just going to abandon everything and explore this with the people that I trust in a genre that is already set, but hopefully we can explore new territory and especially with the female at the helm.
"You have your director at the helm going, ‘I will protect you. Nothing that’s going to be in the film will be anything that you are not comfortable with. You are going to be okay.'"
The actor spoke about having 'an enormous amount of trust' in co-star Dickinson to ensure the role was executed appropriately and well.
