“This is why I roll my eyes when more established actors dismiss the idea of intimacy coordinators. Just because intimacy coordinators weren’t a thing during the peak of your careers doesn’t mean they aren’t valuable today. Actors absolutely should have a say in how these kind of scenes are rehearsed and shot and know how they fit into the larger narrative because at the end of the day it’s their bodies up on screen in hi-def, streaming media,” one Reddit user wrote.
“Aimee Lou Wood noting that even while well protected on Sex Education, she still had a tendency to agree on stuff, puts even more importance on intimacy coordinators,” said another.
“It sounds like it was a good experience for everyone involved, and that’s exactly how scenes of intimacy should be. Glad to hear it was done with a lot of care,” someone wrote, while one more user added, “This is great and should be industry standard. This also shows that Mike White is a true G and it’s just one more reason I love literally everything he puts out.”
