Emmy Rossum Reveals the Secrets of a Safe Sex Scene on 'Chelsea Handler' (VIDEO)

Apparently, Emmy Rossum was the first celebrity willing to reveal the secrets of sex scenes to Chelsea Handler. The 'Chelsea Lately' (Weeknights, 11PM on E!) host told Rossum that no one has been able to give her a straight answer to a question that's been bothering her for some time.

"How do you protect yourself from getting penetrated by accident?" she asked.

Fans of Rossum's new Showtime series, 'Shameless,' know full well that the actress has already had plenty of different sex scenes to get this process down to a science.

Rossum admitted that it's a "slippery situation," but it can be done. She then went into extensive detail about a triangular piece of equipment she wears to protect herself. But after that, she gave perhaps the more definitive answer.

"And the guy wears like a sock," she said. That's a more definitive answer to how to avoid Handler's original question.

Does this mean Handler has been offered a sex scene in an upcoming project, or has she avoided them for fear of "getting penetrated by accident."
