Intimacy: A field guide to finding connection and feeling your deep desires – with foreword from Gillian Anderson

What is desire? What is connection? What is intimacy, and how do we find it? The screen of film and TV is a mirror that reflects the human condition back at us, and for decades pioneering intimacy co-ordinator Ita O'Brien has been responsible for trying to make the stories of sex, love and desire on-screen reflect the authentic realities of our lives in pioneering productions from Normal People to I May Destroy You . In doing so, she has spent her life exploring the fundamental questions of human relationships. What are our bodies telling us about lust and love? What does good sex feel like ? And how do we connect with our own bodies in order to better connect with others? In Intimacy , she shares everything she has learned about making genuine connections with ourselves and the people in our lives, offering a new field guide for love, sex, partnership and self-realisation.
