Stephen Moyer loved his 'True Blood' sex scenes.

The 46-year-old actor knows most people in his profession insist there is nothing pleasurable about shooting erotic moments but he really enjoyed getting intimate on screen in the vampire drama, in which he starred with real-life wife Anna Paquin.

He said: "You're not supposed to say that you enjoy doing sex scenes, you're supposed to say, ''Oh it's really difficult, you know, with the lighting and the cameramen and the boom operators are all watching,' but I never had that.

"I just like doing them."

And Stephen, who played Bill Compton opposite Anna as Sookie Stackhouse, even has a particular favourite sex scene.

Speaking on 'Watch What Happens Live', he said: "Can I be quite rude? The one where I went down on my wife and then bit her neck and put the blood in her own mouth and sucked it back out again."

Though Stephen insisted none of the sex scenes were real, he admitted they "thought about" not simulating the saucy moments.

And the British actor knew his co-star was "the one" almost as soon as they began working together.

He gushed: "By day three or four -- oh this is going to sound so syrupy -- but I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her."
