10 Ways You're Ruining Movies For Everyone

3. Having Sex In The Back Row (Or The Front)

Sex In Cinema Over-amorousness in the cinema should really go without saying as an egregious offence against your fellow cinemagoers, but unfortunately the phenomenon of people necking in films like Saw 3D persists, so clearly it needs to be said. Now, there are allowances for this. If a young, madly in love couple is sat in the back row of a sparsely-populated, dimly lit screening of a film and they reserve themselves entirely to making out and possibly some light petting without disturbing or alerting other people to their jiggy goings-on, then there€™s no harm done. Unless, you know, someone gets their junk out. Any sexual act in a cinema is simply unforgivable. Not only might it be psychologically scarring (and frankly damn rude) to the other people in your screen to be getting busy in a public place, you€™re more than likely exposing your private parts to whatever chemical nastiness or child vomit that wasn€™t fully cleaned up by the ushers during their last sweep-round of the screen. Which is gross. Of course, the only exception to this rule is if you€™re taking your date to the kind of movie that Travis Bickle takes Betsy too. But then you€™ve got a whole other set of problems we can€™t help you with.
