Calling all Pretty Little Liars fans! Something tells us you're going to love this inside scoop.
Admirers of the popular ABC Family series know Shay Mitchell's character, Emily, has experienced a few kisses with girls on the small screen. But do viewers know what the actress was really thinking when she performed those steamy scenes in front of the camera?
"People ask what it's like kissing a woman, as if there's something awkward or weird about it," she shared in the February issue of Maxim magazine. "I completely embrace it. When I step into Emily's shoes, I'm truly in the moment, and I'm fully attracted to the women I'm fooling around with."
She added, "I'm not Shay when I'm doing the scene; I'm Emily."
Man, is it getting hot in here or what?!
As it turns out, young females aren't the only ones interested in these girl-on-girl love affairs. Mitchell believes it's a huge reason why so many guys watch the show as well.
"It's sexy because two beautiful girls are softer, more sensuous, slower and also sort of educational," she explained in the issue available Tuesday. "Guys watch because they like to learn from it. It's like, ‘Hey, what's she doing to that other girl's body that I might want to try?'"
Away from the cameras, Mitchell is totally into guys and happily single. And while she's keeping her dating life on the down-low, there are a few requirements she has when it comes to her special man.
"I don't want a guy unless he's mine alone. I want eye contact, phones face down on the table," she shared. "If there's something in the room that's more interesting than me, why are we even pretending?"
With a successful career and beautiful looks, we have no doubts that Mitchell will find someone special real soon.
