Lizzy Caplan Gets Sexy, Talks Masturbating, Nudity, Other Fun Stuff

Did you catch Sunday night’s season premiere of Masters of Sex starring the ridiculously sexy Lizzy Caplan? If you thought Lizzy Caplan was hot in True Blood that ain’t jack compared to what she’s been doing on Masters of Sex, kids.

Prior to the premiere Caplan sat down with Playboy for a 20 Question session and since this is Playboy and all they also did a smoking hot photo shoot. I mean, why not? It’s the star of Masters of Sex isn’t it?

One might think that with a publication like Playboy asking Lizzy Caplan about Masters of Sex it would lead to some rather interesting questions. And one would be very correct. For instance…

There’s a lot of nudity on Masters of Sex, including yours. How comfortable are you with being naked on-camera?
It’s certainly not boring. They give us pretty intense stuff to do. A standard-issue sex scene is one thing, but standing completely naked and masturbating in front of someone is quite another. Arrgh. All that stuff we did in the second season is just now coming back to me. I’ve watched only the first season and three episodes from the second, in part because season two started airing while we were still shooting. I realized that, as an actress, especially in this role—in fact, only for this role so far in my career—it required a much different muscle to make the show than to watch it. Drama is such a departure for me. I wanted to trust my instincts and not let viewing—and the inevitable self-criticism—affect my performance. I don’t know many actors who enjoy watching their work anyway. At premieres they’ll go to dinner during the movie and then show up to the party.

Oh boy…

Caplan also has a tip for all the guys out there on what she finds sexy. You might want to take notice of this, bros…

What do you find sexy?
I like when guys don’t wear those boxer briefs that go to mid-thigh and look like bike shorts. It’s harder and harder to find. They’re very popular, but I think they look stupid. I prefer old-fashioned tighty-whities or even just boxer shorts. When you discover a man who wears tighty-whities, you hold on to him. It’s so old-school. They’re great.

I’m pretty sure she’s being serious too. Hmmm…
