Sometimes, when something '''''really''''' bad hits you like a left hook to the ribs, you just feel like getting out of the funk by scoring.
'''A Naked Shoulder
Usually, the sex is not between two people in a relationship and it seems that, if not for the tragedy, the two characters concerned might have never pounded the Sealy together. Can sometimes be used as an excuse to finally resolve [[Unresolved Sexual Tension]].
The Naked Shoulder to Cry On can either be someone else who is grieving over the same tragedy, or just an accommodating friend or acquaintance of the person who is grieving.

* Griffith of ''[[Berserk]]'' does this with Princess Charlotte in the immediate aftermath of {{spoiler|Guts leaving the Hawks}}. {{spoiler|[[Cold-Blooded Torture|It ends badly]]. [[It Got Worse|VERY badly]]}}.
* Partial example in [[Code Geass]]. It doesn't actually lead to sex, but {{spoiler|Shirley's}} first kiss with {{spoiler|Lelouch}} happens under these sort of circumstances; her father has just been killed, and while she's stricken with grief she semi-coherently asks him to "help" her and then kisses him. He responds, probably due to his own feelings of guilt, since (unbeknownst to her,) he's the one who (unintentionally) killed her father. A few days later, she apologises to him for jumping on him like that, saying it wasn't fair, and tearfully comments on the irony of not being able to enjoy their first kiss.

▲* ''[[Switched At Birth (TV)|Switched At Birth]]'': Emmett is completely hysterical about his father giving up custodial rights, and is incredibly angry at his girlfriend Bay for interfering.
