Dakota Johnson Speaks Out About Past Sex Scenes That 'Did Not Feel Good'

Dakota Johnson at the premiere of her new film MaterialistsDakota Johnson has revealed how working with an intimacy coordinator on her new film made for a refreshing change.The Madame Web star is currently promoting her much-hyped new rom-com Materialists, which is in cinemas now in the US, but on this side of the Atlantic, we still have to wait a few more months for it.Speaking to Amy Poehler on her podcast Good Hang, Dakota spoke about how Materialists marked the first time she ever worked with an intimacy coordinator on set to help choreograph sex scenes.“She was really great,” the Bafta nominee enthused. “It was so cool because I’m so used to – you know, it’s a sex scene. It’s not sexy. It doesn’t feel good.”Dakota also pointed out there were “no intimacy coordinators” when she and Jamie Dornan were shooting their sex scenes for the Fifty Shades trilogy, which told the story of a young couple embroiled in a BDSM-centric relationship.Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan in 2015's Fifty Shades Of GreyIntimacy coordinators were widely introduced on the sets of films and TV shows in the wake of the Me Too movement, intended to help actors feel more comfortable and in control while filming more intimate scenes.Since they became a prominent part of filmmaking, they’ve sparked a range of interesting takes from different prolific actors.The stars of shows like Bridgerton, I May Destroy You, Sex Education and the Game Of Thrones spin-off House Of The Dragon have spoken favourably about working with intimacy coordinators.Kate Winslet has admitted she wishes they had been prevalent in the early years of her career, while Emma Thompson has also spoken out in support of them.However, Gwyneth Paltrow said she felt the presence of intimacy coordinators had the potential to be “stifling”, while both Toni Collette and recent Oscar winner Mikey Madison turned down the offer to work with an intimacy coordinator on projects in the last few years.READ MORE:This Is How Dakota Johnson Really Feels About Madame Web A Year LaterDakota Johnson Soldiers On After Talk Show Wardrobe Malfunction In The Most Dakota Johnson Way PossibleDakota Johnson Opens Up About Why Appearing In The Office Was The 'Worst Experience' Of Her Life
