From “Girls” to “Game of Thrones,” HBO’s shows are known for their sex scenes. So it’s fitting that the cabler is bringing on intimacy coordinators to oversee sex scenes on all its shows going forward. As confirmed by Deadline, sex trade drama “The Deuce” already has an intimacy coordinator and other HBO shows featuring sex scenes — so, let’s be real, all of them — are currently staffing the role.

Intimacy coordinators act as “a mediator among actors, directors, producers, and crew” when intimate or sexual scenes need to be shot. “The Deuce’s” coordinator, Alicia Rodis, reads the series’ scripts, talks through the sex scenes with the actors one-on-one, and coordinates the action. “She also elicits the actor’s personal boundaries to make sure ‘consent is informed and certain before we move forward,'” as she’s said.

The intimacy coordinator role is a staple in the theater world, but new to film and television. Emily Meade, who plays Lori on “The Deuce,” initiated HBO’s policy change. She went to network execs and insisted on reforms to the on-set culture, which often made performers feel cornered into doing sex scenes that made them uncomfortable. (If you’ve ever seen “The Deuce,” you’ll have no problem imagining a scenario like this.)

Thanks to Meade’s request and the growing momentum of #MeToo, HBO decided to employ an intimacy coordinator and found Rodis via her nonprofit, Intimacy Directors International, whose mission is to establish and normalize standards and practices for sex scenes on stage and screen. And by all accounts, Rodis’ presence on set has been good for everyone. “The Deuce” showrunner David Simon even said he wouldn’t work without an intimacy coordinator again.

Rodis is also working on “Crashing,” the upcoming series “Watchmen,” and the “Deadwood” movie. She’s training other coordinators to work on “Jett,” a project about a female ex-con, and coming-of-age tale “Euphoria.”
