Some pornstars don't allow kissing and holding hands
Actors and prostitutes were two peas in a pod for a long time, from Europe to Japan. It's only recently that actors have been rehabilitated and people decided they were "stars."
In Augustus's moral legislature, both actors and prostitutes were grouped as Infames, meaning people who made a living faking their emotions. Actors were people of low social standing useful only for entertainment purposes. It was even legal for Roman citizens to give them a beating in the streets if they felt like it.
