Intimacy coordinators have been a hot-button topic in Hollywood as norms and standards for filming intimate scenes have changed in the last several years. But what exactly are intimacy coordinators? And most importantly, what are they used for on the sets of your favorite movies and television shows?

An intimacy coordinator is trained in many functions: as a choreographer, an advocate for actors and a middle-person between actors and production for intimate scenes that may include "nudity, hyper-exposed work, simulated sex acts, and/or intimate physical contact," explains the Intimacy Directors & Coordinators website.
