What do actors do if arousal occurs in intimate scenes?

An expert reveals what actors do when unwanted arousal occurs during the filming of intimate scenes.

Erotic scenes in films and television series may seem realistic, but behind the cameras, the reality is different. Lights, microphones, cameras, directors and technicians create a professional environment.

In recent years, many productions have used an intimacy coordinator, a specialist who coordinates intimacy scenes and ensures that actors feel safe and comfortable. This role became important after the #MeToo movement, with productions emphasizing rules and boundaries.
