You're an actor and have to film a sex scene - do you want an intimacy coordinator?

[Anonymous]

I think if I were in a scene with certain actors no, and anyone other than them, yes.

No need:
Keanu (obviously)
Harry Styles
Jamie Dornan (bc he has so much experience filming them that I have faith in him)
Ryan Gosling
Cillian Murphy
Not an actor but Trevor Noah

I know everyone claims Pedro Pascal but I'm not sold on him. I am leaving out people over the age of 65, otherwise Denzel Washington would be on the list. Who would you be comfortable filming an intimate scene with, withOUT the use of an intimacy coordinator who is not on my list?

I would want an IC with all of them. It would protect the actors too.

What does an IC actually do?

There are already tons of witnesses/people on set.

Yuck. No. The only person I am comfortable with is my DH and the only person who makes it enjoyable for me. In truth, we have been each other's one and only.

Otherwise, other even the thought of intimacy with other humans frankly gross me out. I don't want to kiss someone, smell them, see them naked and definitely not touch them. I cannot imagine bumping uglies with anyone else. I am a germaphobe. All that potty, pee-pee and vomit organs or other people. Yuck, yuck, yuck.

Of course the intimacy coordinator needs to be there. They act as protection for everyone. Aren't they mandatory? If not, they should be.

And don't claim to know you wouldn't need one. You never know that beforehand, silly. It's not just about guys who take advantage, it's also about unintentional situations, which you could be guilty of.

I would want one and recommend them.

I would not do a love scene (agree with germaphobe PP!), but if I did I would want an IC. They are there to make you comfortable. It could be things like knee pads for you, supportive pillows, how clothed you are, where and how you will kiss and be kissed... this should have nothing to do with how attracted you are to the actor.

I think actresses are supposed to be "cool girls" and claim they don't want them.

[Anonymous]

I think they’re required now?

Simulated scenes always fail and are easy to tell.

Sometimes a real sex scene is put into a movie, where the actors are actually intimate. Rare, but happens. Doesn't have to include graphic nudity either.

They are not mandatory.

You have no idea if this is true since you’ve only been with your husband.

I do not think that just because they're fake, they fail. I would rather not see the actual thing. Thank you very much.

Chris Hemsworth. And there would be many takes.
