Unfortunately, the behind-the-scenes work is hardly as steamy as it appears in the first, already well-received trailer.

"The reality of it is like, is that there's a burly man you don't know very well three feet from your face ... which isn't how you usually have sex -- me, anyway," Dornan joked.

"It's more about visually what our bodies look like and what we're doing, so it's more of like a dance,” Johnson explains. "It's more like acrobatics."

"Sexual acrobatics," Dornan deadpans.

Though according to author E.L. James, Fifty Shades fans can still definitely expect all of the racy sex scenes from the book.

"It's happening. Oh yeah -- it's happening," she says. "What I've seen hasn't been particularly watered down, so, um, yeah, I thought it was interesting. So that's all I'll say about that."
