If people around you have been looking preoccupied, bumping into things or sweating a lot, it's because they're probably thinking about that steamy new trailer for "Fifty Shades Darker."

No, seriously, I think everyone on planet Earth has by now seen the trailer that features more masks than the movies "Eyes Wide Shut" and "The Mask" combined.

In fact, the trailer has been viewed 114 million times on YouTube in the last 24 hours.

And 113 million of those views were watched by a YouTube user by the name of "iLLSwallowYourChristiaNGrey-vy69"

OK, that's not true at all.

However, what is true is that the trailer beat out "The Force Awakens" for most views in 24 hours. Some might say it spanked the trailer... with a paddle. OH GOD, I AM SO HOT AND BOTHERED.

"The Force Awakens" only racked up 112 million views, proving that people want to see Jamie Dornan in a mask over Kylo Ren in a mask.

Is it weird that millions upon millions of people have seen this weird shower make-out session?

Can you imagine how much Dakota Johnson hated doing this scene?

"Dakota, we're going to have you hold Jamie's shirt over your head like Simba in the beginning of the 'Lion King.'"

BTW, this is LITERALLY the conversation my laptop had with me when I was watching and re-watching the trailer over and over.

Want to see more of Christian Grey doing pull-ups? Well, we'll all have to wait until Valentine's Day 2017 when the movie is released.

Or, you know, whenever the next hot trailer breaks the Internet.
