Notes for reviewers:

Notability:

"Yehuda Duenyas's flight of fancy", The Guardian, 2011^[1]

Obviously an article about the subject, his name in the title.

"A Sex Choreographer at Work", The New Yorker, 2015^[2]

Out of 11 paragraph only 2 paragraphs do not contain subject's name. Duenyas name is printed 17 times.

"Kari Barclay names Yehuda Duenyas as the first 'sex choreographer' to be credited as such in a professional programme, in acknowlegement of his work on Thomas Bradshaw's Fulfullment at the Flea Theater in New York in 2015", Canonical Misogyny Shakespeare and Dramaturgies of Sexual Violence, by Nora J. Williams,Edinburgh University Press, page 191, 2024 ^[3]

This is a notable and supported claim.

"How I Learned to Become an Intimacy Coördinator", by Jennifer Wilson. The New Yorker, 2025 ^[4]

This is not a passing mention, Duenyas is printed 22 times in this article. Duenyas is the primary and expert source of information for the journalist, who is attending coursework at Duenyas' organization (CINTIMA).

Creative director and producer of Primetime Emmy Award winning work,^[5]^[6]^[7]

Interviews / sought for expert commentary:

"Faking It: This Is How Sex Scenes Really Get Made" Refinery29 2016^[8]

This actually is not an interview, Duenyas is cited in 7 of 11 paragraphs.

"Kevin Costner Sued Over 'Unscripted' Rape Scene", Newsweek, 2025^[9]

About 25 paragraphs, Duenyas printed 4 times and quoted.

Statements of fact / convenience links:

With notability established above, mundane referenced facts about background and career works are not required to adhere to WP:N. Rather they follow WP:SELFSOURCE item 1, as these are not "exceptional claims", and WP:SELFSOURCE item 4 is there no reason to doubt "authenticity".

This is a WP:PAID work -- the article's subject respects the Wikipedia guideline to not edit their own topics -- see talk page for disclosure
