Sex/Life’s Adam Demos and girlfriend Sarah Shahi look shocked as they watch their own sex scene

They set pulses racing with their steamy sex scenes in the Netflix hit Sex/Life.

But it was Adam Demos, 36, and his co-star and girlfriend Sarah Shahi, 41, who had their heart rates elevated on Thursday, when the real-life couple sat down to watch one particularly hot poolside tryst from the show.

‘Yeah, I’m rattled. My heart’s been racing,’ admitted Adam as the visibly shocked pair watched the finished scene.

Sarah at times hid behind her hands rather than face the on-screen passion, before screaming ‘so weird!’ at the screen.

The co-stars-turned-lovers also revealed that far from the apparently warm location depicted on screen, the rooftop shoot in Canada was actually freezing cold.

‘It was so cold, and so windy, and it looks the opposite to that,’ said Adam.

The couple actually huddled in the pool between takes rather than going back inside, because it was the warmest place on set.

‘I smelled like chlorine for about two weeks,’ he joked. 

Meanwhile, Sarah has taken her relationship with Adam to the next level by getting his initial tattooed on her hand. 

The former cheerleader uploaded a photo to Instagram on Tuesday of herself smiling in her living room after doing a video interview.

A prominent ‘A’ tattoo and small infinity symbol were visible above her left ring finger.

Fans first noticed Sarah’s ‘A’ tattoo in an Instagram photo uploaded on June 10.

The tattoo tribute comes as Sarah and Adam continue their long-distance relationship, after the latter returned to his home country of Australia last month.

Adam is in Queensland after finishing his mandatory 14-day stint in hotel quarantine, while Sarah remains at home in the U.S. 

The hunky actor became an overnight sensation last month after baring all for a sexy shower scene in the raunchy Netflix series.

Sex/Life fans couldn’t help but comment on the size of his appendage, with many saying it must be a prosthetic or somehow edited.

Series creator Stacy Rukeyser has even been questioned about the actor’s private parts, telling the website Collider he did not have a body double in nude scenes. 

‘I can tell you what Adam Demos says about it which is, a gentleman never tells. So, we are leaving that up to the viewer’s imagination,’ she said. 

Meanwhile, Adam recently discussed his budding romance with the former NFL cheerleader after meeting on set. 

He told The Daily Telegraph: ‘What I will say and I am always happy to say, is that I am a lucky man and it is happy days.’
