Robert Pattinson's kinky sex scenes have given him "respect for porn stars."

The 23-year-old actor - who had to film raunchy scenes with his co-star Emilie de Ravin in 'Remember Me' - found stripping off on screen a difficult skill to master and has a newfound admiration for adult movie stars.

He explained: "When you end up doing it, you have this little patch on your privates. I didn't really tape it up properly, so I'd spent so long taping it round myself and then literally it falls off within one second and it's taped to the sheet. And you realise the whole crew are looking directly at your butt crack. I can't think of anything exciting for them about this. It gives you a lot of respect for porn stars."

The 'Twilight' hunk was so nervous about the sex scene, the director gave him and Emilie a selection of sex toys - including pornographic videos and handcuffs - to try and make them "more comfortable."

Robert explained to The Sunday Times Style magazine: "Emilie was very, very, very comfortable. I'm always the one who's the most uncomfortable. So we came into the room, and they said 'It's a closed set,' blah, blah, and we got on to the bed and the director was like, 'I got you these things, if just maybe you wanted to use them. You don't have to use them, maybe it will make you more comfortable.' They were these bondage things: lube and handcuffs and porn videos. It was so funny!"
