Nollywood actress and content creator, Sophia Chisom Ikemba, popularly known as Soso, has argued that thespians are supposed to remain professional while engaging in onscreen kisses, rather than seeking pleasure.
The award-winning digital influencer made this known while appearing as a guest on a TVC programme.
She was reacting to comments by some of her colleagues who claimed they have never had a good kiss since joining the movie industry.

According to Soso, it is difficult for any male actor to get a “good” kiss from her because she does not use her tongue during onscreen kisses.
She went on to say that she often closes her teeth and uses just her lips when shooting a kissing scene, stressing that she is highly conscious of who she exchanges saliva with.
Speaking during the interview, Soso said: “I don’t know if people kiss with their tongues, but I do not kiss with my tongue. My teeth are always closed during kissing scenes, so it is just the lips. But because it is an act, we have to make it believable.
“Some people kiss with their tongues, but I don’t think it is okay to swap saliva with every single person that you shoot with. Besides, it is a job. So, whenever I see a colleague complaining that they didn’t get a good kiss, it is weird. You are not supposed to get a good kiss—it is a job.”
