The term "casting couch" is widely known as a practice in the entertainment industry where actors/actresses are expected to exchange sexual favors for roles. However, there are other euphemisms that are used to refer to this practice. Examples of such synonyms include, but are not limited to: "sleeping for a part", "quid pro quo", "transactional sex", "forced sex negotiations", and "opportunistic abuse of power". These terms allude to the power dynamics that exist within the industry, with those in positions of authority often taking advantage of vulnerable individuals seeking their big break. Regardless of the terminology used, the behavior is inexcusable and has no place in any industry.
