Intimacy Coordinator
Vanessa Coffey for Intimacy On Set
“We had an intimacy coordinator this time. I‘ve done a lot of sex scenes in my career, and that wasn’t a thing. And it meant that we had to talk about what we were about to do sort of in a step-by-step process. When you get over the sort of silly embarrassment of saying, ‘And now I’m going to go near your penis,’ or, ‘I’m going to reach for your breasts,’ it starts to feel more like a dance, like a piece of choreography, [and] there are merits in that. It all felt very real and natural and it wasn’t about having my ass buffed for an hour before we got on set, do you know what I mean? It so often is.” (Billie Piper)
