According to Gemma Whelan, the sex scenes on "GoT" were a "mess"

For Gemma Whelan, filming

sex scenes

 has often been problematic due to the lack of an intimacy coach on set.

According to the actress, who played Yara Greyjoy in the series, the actors were absolutely unprepared for the scorching sequences which, as we have seen, are not lacking in the series.

"They used to say, 'When you say action, give it your all!', And it could be kind of a frenzied mess," Gemma Whelan lamented in an interview with the

.

For example, during a scene involving another actress in a brothel, it was she who had to take the initiative to seek consent from her colleague beforehand.

“A director might say, 'Bite her breasts a little bit, then spank her and let's go!'

But I always talked about it beforehand with the other actress, ”she continued.

"Permission and consent are given before starting"

And it was the same when it came to shooting an intimate scene with Alfie Allen who played Theon Greyjoy, the brother of his character who tries to seduce her while he is still unaware that he is facing his sister. .

“Alfie asked a lot, 'Are you okay?

How are we going to make it work? ”

”, Gemma Whelan recalled, before pointing out the need to hire intimacy coaches to facilitate the filming of this type of scene.

“With the intimacy coordinators it's a choreography, you move like that, I move like that, and permission and consent is given before I start.

It's a step in the right direction, ”she explains.
