#382 Behind the Sex Scenes in Film, Television and Porn - with CINTIMA

What is happening behind the scenes when sex/intimacy happens in
film, television and porn? What us an "intimacy coordinator" and
why do they play a pivotal roll in the on-set production? How do
intimacy coordinators choreograph a scene, awnd hat makes CINTIMA’s
training important and unique? How does watching a show with
intimate plots deepen a couple’s relationship, and how does the
quality of the content for intimate scenes - as well as what is
happening behind the scenes - affect the consumer? And how can
someone become an "intimacy coordinator"? Is it just a career move
or can it change an individual's everyday life? About our guests:
