The fact that many of them got couch-casted (industry heads are old dirty men like Harvey Weinstein Clive Davis, y'all know how it goes) plus being hedonistic and single/in PR relationships/in lavender marriages probably both prepares them and allows them to be overly sexual. Sex sells, and the only deity America truly worships is money...

All too accurate & it definitely still happens. They just removed Weinstein because he was egregious. Pretty sure the whole casting couch genre of porn was inspired by all of these washed out LA Actors who turned to porn.

Never heard of the term Lavender Marriage; ELI5?

The way I understand it, is that lavender marriages are heterosexual marriages done to "conceal" one being homosexual/bi/whatever. If you want to read more about it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lavender_marriage
