Strictly Confidential released its first official trailer in February, garnering attention from fans.
In a new interview with People, the Bedazzled star said she felt "comfortable" shooting with her scene partner, 28-year-old Pear Chiravara.
“People are making a lot of fuss,” Elizabeth said, adding, "I think there's a lot of factors making it a particularly interesting scene for people."
She said that while some moments felt "daring" to shoot, there wasn't any nudity on set.
"Nobody’s exploited at all. We all felt comfortable doing it," she said.
Damian said that the cast and crew were rushed to finish filming the scene, to which his mom added: "It was like, ‘Come on, let’s shoot it!'"
Elizabeth and Damian also caught up with Access Hollywood's Mario Lopez and Kit Hoover, where they further discussed filming the sex scenes.
"The things in his script needed me to do in this weren't necessarily things I'd always done in movies many times before," Elizabeth admitted.

"But having him there meant that I felt safe and looked after and I knew in the production, in the post, I knew he'd look after me.
"So actually it's kind of liberating to work with your family. I may do it again," the Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery star said.

Damian added that they felt in their "comfort zone" while filming.
COLLABORATIVE TEAM
This wasn't the mother-son duo's first time working together, however.
They previously collaborated on photo shoots for her swimwear line, in which she modeled the brand's latest bikini designs.
While speaking about the shoots, the Royals alum said she felt relaxed knowing the person behind the camera was looking out for her.
"People find this really controversial," Damian chimed in about taking his mom's bikini shots.
He labeled it as a part of their everyday, normal life - being in show business.
"She takes my photos, I take her photos," he said.
TRAILER REACTIONS
Strictly Confidential shared its first trailer at the end of February.
The R-rated thriller stars Elizabeth as the lead character Lily, a grieving mother who unravels truths about her daughter's death.
The trailer shows a glimpse of Elizabeth's sex scene, where one of her late daughter's friends is seen kissing her neck while pushing her against a wall.
In the YouTube video's comments section, fans have been giving their opinions on Elizabeth's latest role.
"So, Damian directed his mom in a lesbian scene? That's gonna be something to talk about at Christmas dinner," one person wrote.
"The suspense in the film definitely has my interest," a second said.
