“It was such a great platform moving forward in my career, like for shows like Bridgerton where there are a lot of intimate scenes,” Ashley said.
“In Sex Education we had like a sex intimacy workshop where we completely broke the ice and you know, anything that was said, it was the most embarrassing or the most vulnerable but it was a safe, intimate space.”
“We explored the movement of different animals to kind of portray different paces or different sexualities or how sensual something could be,” Simone Ashley said.
“For example, we look to how snails mate and when snails mate, they actually produce a plasma that intertwines. So if it was a really sensual, slow kind of scene we’d be like, ‘Oh, it’s like the snail’.
“And it’s super like the plasma, like falling like honey.”
“So this kind of scene we’re going to make it very funny and quirky and just like silly and like, let’s think of like, this animal,” Ashley continued.
“We would kind of focus on the other things around and then treat it like a dance and make it very character driven.”

“All these different ideas and then you get excited about it. Then we do have the conversations of ‘no, I’m not really comfortable with that, feels a bit vulnerable for me, can we make sure that this is in place?’”
