Faking It with Ariel and Morgan

Two intimacy coordinators reveal what actually happens behind the scenes of film and TV's most iconic intimate moments.

We're Ariel and Morgan, two professional intimacy coordinators who choreograph sex scenes for film and TV. We pull back the curtain on how intimacy is really made—from the awkward logistics to the craft that makes it look effortless.

On Faking It, we break down:

Heated Rivalry: the back arch, the bed share, and why good gay sex wins over hockey
The hottest no-contact scene in cinema history (Secretary)
Why Brokeback Mountain's tent scene needed more lube
The invisible Buffy sex scene that required flawless pantomime
Barbarella's orgasm machine
PEN15's honest depiction of teenage arousal

Get behind-the-scenes secrets, absurd Hollywood stories, real talk about love and sex, and a front-row seat to the art of pretending.
