Lights! Camera! Action? The pleasures and perils of getting busy in a movie theater.
America is returning to the cinema, albeit slowly. Although streaming services and the lockdowns associated with COVID-19 put the movie theater in peril, there has been a moderate uptick in attendance over the past year, as people are presumably doing anything to get out of the house—even if that means selling a kidney to afford two tickets, a box of popcorn and a couple of sodas.
There are, of course, a few benefits to seeing the latest blockbuster at the theater as opposed to checking it out from the comfort of home. There’s the big screen, the Dolby sound system—and if a patron is feeling frisky, perhaps even the potential for sexual activity of some kind.
To hear some men tell it, there are always ulterior motives when taking a woman out to see a movie. “They’re still a good spot for a first date,” Brett, 32, of Staunton, Virginia, tells HUSTLERMagazine.com. Brett argues that, in this day and age of Netflix and chill, some women are often skeptical about visiting a man’s house before getting to know him—he could be a serial killer, after all. Therefore, asking them to the theater is the next best option. “You take them to see a rom-com and book the seats at the back [of the theater],” he says. “Maybe there’s a little kissing during the movie, and you see what happens afterward.”
