Sean Lowe's mom: Limit the steamy scenes

WENN

"Bachelor" Sean Lowe has confessed that his mother warned him about getting involved in steamy scenes that could potentially embarrass her when the show airs. The 29-year-old hunk was known to viewers as a sensitive, southern gentleman during his first appearance on "The Bachelorette" last year. But now that he is the object of affection with 26 ladies vying for his love, he will have numerous opportunities to cozy up with his potential wives-to-be.

Before Lowe began filming, he told Us Weekly that his mother gave him some advice that he tried his best to abide by throughout the season. He explained, "For the most part, my family said, 'Just be yourself. You're going to be great.' But my mom did make it a point to say, 'Please limit your hot tub makeout scenes for my sake.' I don't know if I necessarily held up my end of that bargain, but hopefully mom's not too embarrassed by what she sees."

Incidentally, Lowe had a steamy scene with Emily Maynard on "The Bachelorette," when the two cozied up to each other in a hot tub during their fantasy suite date in Curacao. He was sent home in third place shortly thereafter.

"The Bachelor" airs Mondays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.
