For me, intimacy coaches make me uncomfortable because it feels like another set of eyes that I don’t need.
That being said, the best thing a director could do is ask an actor right off the bat: ‘What are you comfortable with?
But I have no problem stopping production when I’m uncomfortable, and I don’t think that’s the case for a lot of people, so I think it’s wonderful that there’s a lifeline that people can lean on to know they’ll be protected.
