The 49-year-old's latest movie, The Kids Are All Right, features several scenes of an adult nature between Moore and co-star Mark Ruffalo.
Despite rave reviews of the surprise hit, Moore has admitted that she finds sex scenes both awkward to shoot and to talk about.
"My husband hasn’t seen the film yet," Moore told Australian Women's Weekly. "I try not to ever talk about the sex scenes in a film.
"It’s always an issue, so the less I talk about it, the better. I act like it’s not happening."
However, Moore insisted that shooting with Ruffalo could have been worse, saying: "Mark is a really good friend so that made it easier. I’m really good friends with his wife."
Moore is married to director Bart Freundlich, with whom she has two children.
