# Interesting.  Is it common for actors to not want to actually kiss? ...

*October 16, 2023 — Comment Jessica Steinrock - Intimacy Coordinator's reel*

Interesting.  Is it common for actors to not want to actually kiss?  I suppose not kissing avoids disease risk (thrush, herpes).  Is it generally assumed that it will be a fake kiss?  If the director (or the actors) want a real kiss, how is that negotiated?
