Ita O'Brien is the intimacy coordinator behind some of television's more progressive and modern portrayals of sex, and conversations about sex, on screen, from "Sex Education" to "Normal People." O'Brien has written a new book, Intimacy: A Field Guide to Finding Connection and Feeling Your Deep Desires, about what her work looks like on set, and how people can try to a foster a greater sense of emotional and physical intimacy in their own lives, even if that may be vulnerable and challenging.
