Yep, I remember hoping there was an intimacy coordinator on set for Kate Winslet and Saoirse Ronan during the unnecessary, graphic scenes in Ammonite.

I also always think about Ruth Wilson's interview from a couple years ago about The Affair.

"Still, insiders cite a number of issues that created discomfort with some of the cast and crew. For example, “There sometimes were people there who didn’t need to be, or the monitor was in plain view,” explains one. Another on-set source reveals that there was a complaint raised after a monitor was left on during an on-location shoot that made a sex scene visible to someone not involved with the production. Insiders attribute many of these issues to the fact that Showtime did not begin employing an intimacy coordinator, an on-set job that’s become more common in the #MeToo era, until the show’s final season.

In one instance in the second season, Wilson declined to shoot an aggressive sex scene that involved her being pushed up against a tree at a yoga retreat by co-star Dominic West. “It was rapey,” says a source. “Ruth was very unamused by it.” Treem says that it was written to be a consensual sex scene but that Wilson didn’t agree with the character’s choice. Instead, a body double stepped in for part of it. (Separately, Wilson’s body double sued Showtime in 2017, saying she was fired after confronting a male assistant director for describing her on a call sheet as “Alison Sexytime Double.” The case was settled.)
