An intimacy professional is a choreographer, an advocate for actors, and a liaison between actors and production for scenes that involve nudity/hyper-exposed work, simulated sex acts, and intimate physical contact.

Intimacy Director or Choreographer is the designation typically used for theatre and live performance. Intimacy Coordinator is the correct title for this role for TV and Film.
