Neil Patrick Harris, who starred in HBO Max’s “It’s a Sin,” recently shared how intimacy coordinators contributed to the show’s authenticity.

The series is a remarkable portrayal of the dawn of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, and Harris noted that including intimacy coordinators on set added another level of detail to the production.

In an interview with Insider, Harris explained that intimacy coordinators helped to bring the story to life while also providing protection and comfort to the actors during intimate scenes.

Although he did not have any s** scenes in the show, Harris remarked that the actors did a fantastic job of making them look steamy on camera, despite the fact that they were probably less so during filming.

Harris marveled at how intimacy coordinators balance realism in the scenes with ensuring the actors feel safe and comfortable.

He stressed the importance of not having anyone feel uncomfortable during filming and praised the actors for their expert portrayal of the scenes.

Intimacy coordinators have become increasingly popular in Hollywood, and they also worked on the set of Netflix’s “Bridgerton.”

Lizzy Talbot, an intimacy coordinator on the show, explained how she created the s** scenes for the period drama.

She emphasized that the scenes were not designed for male pleasure but rather to show a woman’s perspective on the experience.

“It was about seeing something very different,” she said.

“Phoebe was fairly covered, she was under some sheets, and the focus was on her face looking at Simon, and we don’t often see that.

We’re looking at her face viewing a n^ked man for the very first time.”

Harris delivered an impactful performance early in the series, helping to narrate the horror and confusion surrounding what it was like for those coming of age during the early days of the HIV/AIDS epidemic.

His character, Henry Coltrane, takes Colin under his wing and helps him navigate around unwanted s**ual advances from their boss at work.

The show has received critical acclaim for its honest and poignant portrayal of the lives of a group of friends who face death at a young age.

Its title is derived from the popular Pet Shop Boys song about the shame gay men experienced during the AIDS crisis.

Reflecting on the evolution of what it means to be out and proud today, Harris noted that the gay-straight spectrum has changed considerably.

The stigma and labeling that was once prevalent has largely disappeared, and people are more open-minded and accepting of different s**ual experiences.

“I’ve had good conversations with people, in their early 20s, who are straight, but have fooled around with friends and that doesn’t weigh heavily on them,” Harris said.

“It was fun.

They had fun.

And now they have a girlfriend, and they are not troubled by it.

It doesn’t define them.

It was just a fun afternoon or evening.

And I love that.”

In conclusion, Harris praised the addition of intimacy coordinators in Hollywood and their role in bringing authenticity to intimate scenes while ensuring the actors feel comfortable and safe.
