Lady Chatterley's Lover caused quite a stir back in 1960, now a new adaptation of DH Lawrence's scandalous novel is bringing sex back to the big screen, and with the help of an intimacy coordinator doing its best for those intimate scenes not to be boring.
Jack O'Connell and Emma Corrin used an intimacy coordinator for scenes in Lady Chatterley's Lover.

The Crown star told Sky News:"It was exciting for this adaptation to have a female director because I don't think that's something that happened before. "The way [director Laure de Clermont-Tonnerre] wanted to centre female pleasure, I thought it was really cool."Set in the early 20th century, DH Lawrence's last novel tells the story of an upper-class woman - Lady Chatterley - who embarks on an illicit affair with her gamekeeper when her husband is left paralysed after fighting in the First World War.
First published in 1929 in Italy, the first uncensored version of the book wasn't published in the UK until 1960, and even then it was only after Penguin Books successfully defended it against charges of obscenity. The novel sold out its first print run on the first day of publication, gaining worldwide notoriety due to its explicit nature.More on Netflix
