A fior di pelle

The sex scenes in 'Laid Bare' feel so integral to the characters' arcs. I'm curious whether this was a conscious choice to deepen the story or a natural result of the characters' journeys.

The vulnerability and trust depicted added layers to the intimacy, making it more than just physical. Did that emotional depth resonate with others or feel a bit overwhelming at times?

The portrayal of trust and consent was nuanced and realistic. I wonder what research or personal experiences influenced how these scenes and relationships were crafted.
