Ashton Kutcher has been having a lot of sex and he likes to talk about it.

Last night, the 31-year-old actor told Jimmy Kimmel about his adult-themed escapades, and he told the Sun about them this afternoon: He gets down, again and again, in his new movie, “Spread.”

“There’s a lot of sex in the movie,” he reiterated this afternoon as he casually lounged on the couch next to his co-star, Anne Heche.

“I have sex with a lot of women in the film to get what I want,” Kutcher explained from his comfortable spot in a plush, $40,000-a-night sky villa at the Palms.

“My character is a social, sexual drifter (who) kind of makes his way, financially, through life based on the partners that he has,” he said.

“A user,” Heche interjected.

“Yeah, a user,” Kutcher conceded with a shrug. “(But) then it sort of starts to get to that point where, like, sex is used like a weapon in a relationship. “

Kutcher plays the part of Nikki in the soon-to-be-released film and Heche plays his well-to-do sugar momma, Samantha.

Heche says her character doesn’t think Nikki is exploiting her.

“She falls for this guy, she doesn’t think she’s being used,” she says. “It’s really fun.

Heche calls her and Kutcher’s on-screen romance a “fun romp before it goes really bad.”

Both stars will walk the red carpet outside Brenden Theaters at the Palms tonight for the Las Vegas premiere of “Spread.”

The event begins at 7 p.m. and is open to the public, but the screening that will follow is by invitation only. The post-premiere party at Ghostbar, however, will be open to the public and will get underway at 10 p.m.

Meanwhile, “Spread” won’t hit theaters until Aug. 14.
