“(Embarrassment is amplified) for those who are just starting out and don’t have the vocabulary to say what they’re not comfortable with,” Cooke told iPaper (https://inews.co.uk/culture/television/olivia-cooke-sex-scenes-shouldnt-feel-chunk-taken-3897144) in praising the use of intimacy coordinators. “And for women, who’ll often get labelled ‘difficult’ or ‘a bitch’ for speaking up, a (good intimacy coordinator) will sense hesitation and become your voice.” Cooke added that while sex scenes can play important roles in certain projects because “showing intimacy, passion is an integral part of reflecting the human experience,” the filming of them can feel like “a chunk of yourself as been taken” if they are not executed carefully.
