"Glad to Be Alive" Sex/Playing With
Basic Trope: Two characters who survive a harrowing ordeal together have sex to celebrate being alive.
- Straight: Bob and Alice have sex after surviving a battle with Emperor Evulz.
- Exaggerated: Bob and Alice have sex after any incident that is even vaguely stressful.
- Justified: Bob and Alice have had feeling for each other for quite some time. Coming so close to dying against Emperor Evulz made them realise that life was too short not to let such feelings go unsaid, and so they acted on them and became lovers.
- Inverted:
- Alice and Bob have no hope of survival, and decide to spend their last moments alive having sex.
- Alternatively, their battle with the blasphemous abominations of Emperor Evulz is so traumatic, that they both swear to never have sex with anyone again.
- Subverted: Bob and Alice survive the Battle with Emperor Evulz and start kissing, but Alice pulls away before they can go too far.
- Double Subverted: ...but they continue right where they stopped before, once they are in a more suitable setting, like a comfy bedroom.
- Parodied: Alice and Bob try to engage in explicit sexual activity after defeating the Emperor, but his surviving minions interrupt them over and over again.
- Deconstructed: Alice and Bob have sex after defeating Emperor Evulz, but because they had sex in the heat of the moment with no forethought, it puts a strain on their relationship and Alice must cope with an unwanted pregnancy.
- Reconstructed: Alice and Bob bring condoms to every battle now.
- Zig Zagged: ???
- Averted: Alice and Bob don't have sex after defeating Emperor Evulz.
- Enforced: "The viewers want to see some skin, so put a sex scene at the end of the movie."
- Lampshaded: "Ah, sorry to interrupt you guys, I figured you'd be busy..."
- Invoked: "We've saved each other's lives. I say, let's enjoy them to the fullest..."
- Defied: Alice and Bob refrain from having sex because of their moral and religious convictions (or just because this is the worst possible time and place to do it), despite wanting each other badly.
- Discussed: "And then you had sex with her?"
- Conversed: "Gee, if I were in a situation like theirs, I wouldn't be able to stop myself, either."
- Played for Laughs: Immediately after defeating Emperor Evulz, Bob and Alice have sex on the spot, in the Emperor's throne room.
Phew! We made it to the end. I think this calls for "Glad to Be Alive" Sex.
