Intimacy coordinators now need actors’ consent to discuss sex scenes publicly — or get the boot: SAG-AFTRA
SAG-AFTRA rule now requires intimacy coordinators to get consent from actors before publicly speaking about their sex scenes.“Intimacy coordinators are a crucial resource on any set to ensure the protection of our members working in intimate scenes,” a SAG-AFTRA spokesperson told Deadline. “Intimacy coordinators should maintain the confidentiality of an actor’s work and experience in performing highly sensitive scenes unless they have the actor’s permission to publicly share this information.”“The public release of details about an actor’s scene work or confidences entrusted to the intimacy coordinator without the performer’s consent is unacceptable,” the statement continued.
