When you think about it, we actors are kind of prostitutes. We get paid to feign attraction and love. Other people are paying to watch us kissing someone, touching someone, doing things people in a normal monogamous relationship would never do with anyone who's not their partner. It's really kind of gross.

They are paid to pretend to feel romantic attraction and love, often in ways that would be unacceptable in ordinary relationships.
