No doubt Stephen Moyer and Anna Paquin have no problem filming sex scenes together on True Blood.

Over the last five seasons, we've seen the real-life husband and wife in all sorts of compromising positions.

Moyer now says he wouldn't mind directing Paquin in a steamy scene.

"When you are directing your wife in a sex scene, you get to do what the writers come up with," Moyer told me at True Blood's season six premiere in Hollywood. "Maybe they're coming up with something you haven't thought of before. You can try things out without it being weird."

Robert Kazinsky, who plays Paquin's new love interest on the show, says it certainly was weird having Moyer around when he and Paquin had to get down and dirty.

"When the first scene came up, I went to [Moyer] and I was like, 'How can I make this easy for you?'" Kazinsky said. "He said, 'Don't! She's great. Just do what you need to do. She'll do what she needs to do and just forget about it.' I was like, 'I'll try.' But it's not easy."
