Line 13:
* '''Zig Zagged''': [[Even the Guys Want Him|Bob gets laid, but by a man named Alex]]. Bob tries to redeem himself in front of his friends, who always figured that he was gay. Bob finds Alice, a prostitute, has sex with her, but it just isn't worthwhile. [[Love Triangle|Bob returns to Alex, only to realize that Alex is with Alice]].
* '''Averted''': Bob's virgin status isn't a plot point.
** Bob is [[The Hero]] in ''Tales Of Troperia'', a [[Lions and Tigers Andand Humans, Oh My!]] world. A unicorn joins him, because [[Nature Adores a Virgin]]. He's a [[Game Breaker]] so no-one mocks Bob since his friends are so awesome.
* '''Enforced''': "All right, in every teen sex comedy there's a character who hasn't had sex yet."
* '''Lampshaded''': "Bob? How can you be our rescuer? I didn't think you had it in you. You were always so pathetic. None of us ever wanted to go out with you..." [[Well, Excuse Me, Princess!|"Why, thank you]] ''[[Well, Excuse Me, Princess!|so]]'' [[Well, Excuse Me, Princess!|much for your vote of confidence, Alice."]]
* '''Invoked''': ???
* '''Exploited''': ???
Line 23:
* '''Deconstructed''': Bob is so desperate to lose his virginity that he throws himself at the first willing partner he finds, which results in a very, very unhappy relationship.
** This assumes the partner is even willing. In some cases, he might be so desperate to shed himself of his virgin status that he turns to rape.
* '''Reconstructed''': Nonetheless, this act of desperation ''works'' insofar as this [[Sex As aas Rite -of -Passage]] convinces all of his peers that he's awesome and permits his reintegration into society, [[Unfortunate Implications|disturbing as the implications]] of [[Family -Unfriendly Aesop|this result may be.]]
* '''Played For Drama''': All of his peers are cruel to Bob for not being sexually active, although their own sexual escapades have brought them and their girlfriends nothing but trouble. In fact, everybody hates him for not sleeping around, because he's in a [[Crapsack World]] that loathes sexual purity and [[No Good Deed Goes Unpunished|punishes it diligently.]]
* '''Played For Laughs''': All of Bob's friends are in hilariously unhappy relationships, while the single, unattached Bob is happy to be alone. All of his friends insist he's missing out.
