Abstract

This article presents the variables that frame the coordination of intimacy, analyzing the ethical guidelines for the well-being and comfort of actors and actresses participating in sex scenes and other intimate sequences in theater, film, and television productions, as well as on online platforms. More broadly, the article proposes a reflection on and intervention in the vast field of contemporary eroticism, as it is refracted in the spectacle of virtuality. To this end, four case studies are proposed to identify the main ethical issues to consider in the training of healthcare professionals working in this novel segment of the current erotic imaginary.
