Two intimacy coordinators break down the famous psychic orgy from Sense8 and explain how the cluster sex scene was actually made.

From gym workouts and hot tubs to morning cuddles and group intimacy across continents, they're unpacking what makes this sequence so memorable and why it still feels unlike anything else on TV.

They get into it all:

• The surprisingly complicated consent questions that come with sharing other people's experiences
• The challenge of choreographing a massive multi-location orgy without rehearsal
• The actor's experiences behind the scenes and how an intimacy coordinator could have helped

Plus: German bathhouses, intimacy coordinator wedding hacks, Britney Spears throwbacks, and an extended discussion about what happens if someone in your cluster decides to have sex during your grandmother's funeral.
