In reference to the infamous fellatio scene, Loredana Cannata says she was told the day they shot it that it would be not simulated. "I had a moment of panic, the crew told me we will shot it after we eat, so I would be more relaxed, but I didn't touch any food! They brought me tangerines, everyone was nice, but I was tense until the clapperboard! Then, however, everything went smoothly", she recalls. Her partner in the scene had to be Arturo Paglia, but he wasn't up to that and so he asked the director to be replaced by a porn actor.
In this movie Loredana Cannata performs several unsimulated sex acts. In addition to the infamous fellatio and masturbation scenes, she receives real cunnilingus by Pascal Persiano in the pool scene (she revealed that to "Palcoscenico.biz" online magazine). Finally, in the scene in which Giulia's character has sex with two conscript soldiers, Cannata seems to have actual vaginal intercourse with Gianluca Cuomo.
In a scene Loredana Cannata plays with a real snake, letting it move up her whole body. The name of the snake is "Gianduia" and it is also thanked in the credits.
