Ryan Guzman’s collection of props wasn’t limited to just one, but Jennifer Lopez’s selection was even more extensive.
Actor Ryan Guzman recently shared a funny story about working with Jennifer Lopez in the of movie ‘The Boy Next Door’.He had to wear a ‘d**k tie’ for a sex scene in one of her films.
You might be picturing something fancy, like a stylish neck tie or maybe even a chic bow tie, right?Despite the humorous image of a bow tie neatly placed on one’s manhood, the term ‘d**k tie’ doesn’t quite mean what you might think.
This peculiar accessory was a necessity for Guzman during his role in the thriller “The Boy Next Door,” which hit theaters in 2015.In this movie, Lopez portrays Claire Peterson, a wife who has been betrayed by her unfaithful husband.

So basically, it’s a practical thing to keep everything in place when filming intimate scenes.
She finds herself entangled with a dangerously appealing younger man who has just moved in next door. Guzman plays this alluring younger neighbor.In one particular scene, Guzman and the legendary Lopez get rather close, which is a scenario many of her fans have likely fantasized about.
However, to keep their interaction strictly professional, various protective measures were implemented.Lopez wore protective guards to ensure that Guzman did not accidentally touch her inappropriately.
During an interview with Cosmopolitan, Guzman detailed how they managed to maintain professionalism: “We kept it professional. Even when I’m grabbing on her chest, there were guards on them too, and my hand had to be positioned in a certain way so it didn’t show any of the guards [in the shot].”Guzman confessed that he was unaware of such protective measures in the film industry until he started acting.

He humorously inquired, “Do you have them for men? Because all I’m getting right now is a sock.”
He continued, expressing his disbelief at the disparity in protective gear: “You give me a sock and a d**k tie, and she gets all these cool gadgets?”He also provided a bit more insight into what a ‘d**k tie’ actually entails, even though he was rather astonished he had to explain it.
He described it as, “It’s this elastic thing on this sock where you make it as tight as you can so that you get no blood flow or anything going on, and it kind of holds on to your man parts so the sock isn’t, you know, pulled off during the scene.”
To put it bluntly, it prevented Guzman from becoming visibly aroused.
While it might not be the most comfortable accessory to wear during a film scene, it certainly sounds like it prevented potentially more embarrassing situations!
