March 15 (UPI) -- Chrissy Metz wants to appear in a sex scene on This is Us.

"When are they going to have sex, guys? On screen," she told People. "I want it on screen -- I guess it'll offend people, still. But fat people do have sex, for the record."

Metz has been a vocal advocate for body-positivity since taking on the role of Kate, a personal assistant struggling with her weight. She recently starred in a pin-up shoot for Harper's Bazaar and discussed her own road to self-confidence.

"When I first heard Harper's Bazaar wanted me to be sexy, I was like, 'Who, me?' I knew y'all were edgy but this is incredible -- it's validation," the star told the magazine. "I can get into this now because I finally have the confidence."

"I'm on this journey to inspire people, and to encourage them," she added of the show. "We are all deserving of true happiness, so it's much more than just acting."

"Just sobbing at our finale event because of these two @TheMandyMoore & @MiloVentimiglia. My goodness that was amazing!" she wrote.
