Sorry! I'm sure you're sick of those jokes.
Anyway, what I meant to say was........ it's called
acting!
Actors can play the part of a homicidal maniac, a torturing despot, a psychopath, Hitler.
They can play the part of a member of the opposite sex, a frigid virgin, a raving nymphomaniac.
They can play a politician of a political persuasion they don't agree with.
They can play being gay when they are straight, and play straight when they are gay (viz. Rock Hudson).
They can act making love to someone they are, in real life, repulsed by.
It's
acting!
