Anyone else ever get this weird icky feeling after a movie that you've just shared an identical emotional experience with 70 strangers in a dark room, and there's this uncomfortable sense of intimacy that feels a lot like 3 minutes after having sex with your ex girlfriend?

No, but I do get highly uncomfortable watching sex scenes in front of anyone else.

No, but I do get highly uncomfortable when I am unlucky enough to sit next to two of those individuals who have decided that movie theaters are an acceptable place to make out. Ick.

No but I can see how you think that aswell...

I get the feeling that "How your going/doing?" only makes sense after you've had sex with the person
And at work I sometimes get daydreams of making out with whoever i am talking to ...boy or girl Shocked

its just the logistics of it, interpretted another way.. or something.

Well I can't compare it to the sex thing, but I do kinda know what you mean, maybe just a little, and yeah, 'icky' is a good word for it. *shudder*
