Hollywood still can’t get sex right.

The September issue of the Atlantic features a lengthy article on newly #MeToo-ish Hollywood suddenly hiring “intimacy coordinators” and formalizing other protections so that semiexplicit sex scenes will avoid on-set abuses or misunderstandings. It’s all rather cringe inducing, so this column will spare you the details. Suffice it to say that if Hollywood is to show so much nudity and simulated sex, it makes sense to take at least a few precautions for any remaining semblance of the actor’s decency and dignities.
