How 'Intimacy Coordinators' Are Changing Hollywood's Sex Scenes

How do sex scenes work? Intimacy coordinator Ita O'Brien says before she came along a director would often send the actors off on their own to figure out their own boundaries. Now, Ita has created a set of guidelines that she says makes the sex scenes filmed today, even steamier and more realistic. Today, we learn how to choreograph a sex scene so that every angle, every touch and every emotion is as beautifully rehearsed as any battle.
