We're back to sex again, because let's face it, it's a key area where inequality and abuse can take place onscreen. However, since the Weinstein furore, more attention is being paid to how intimate scenes are filmed, and how actors are supported in these vulnerable spaces. So how about changes in the way that audiences and critics are perceiving and discussing the sex and other intimate scenes they watch? Are we responding to this new era of consent with respect and appreciation? To find out I went to the top woman in this field. Ita O'Brien - who's the UK's leading Intimacy Practitioner in film, TV and theatre. Ita shared her experience of choreographing these scenes - and the politics of production she has to negotiate; the way you can never anticipate what audiences will pick up on; and how onscreen representations of sex and bodies can be a powerful way to help us all better relate to our desires. #NormalPeople #IMayDestroyYou #SexEducation
