Can't Have Sex Ever: Difference between revisions

Line 55:

* In [[The DCU]], Heatstroke and Coldsnap are lovers who are members of the villain team the Masters of Disaster. Their motivation for committing crimes is to earn enough money to find a cure for their '[[Blessed With Suck|condition]]' that prevent them from touching.

* [[The Darkness|Jackie Estacado]] had this problem ever since he turned 21 and acquired his powers (and takes his frustration out on mob goons using Darklings and actually dropping a rabid one down in a [[Groin Attack|Mafia Boss's pants]]) until they went autopilot and humped an unconscious [[Witchblade (Comic Book)|Sara Pezzini]]. Usually bearers of the Darkness are male and when a baby boy is born the current owner drops dead. Luckily for Jackie, Sara gave birth to a girl

** There is a loophole, that Darkness bearers can create [[Artificial Human|constructs]] for this purpose. However [[It Got Worse]] when it was revealed that {{spoiler|The Darkness intended for this loophole, to encourage the Estacado's to eventually create a construct mate that could bear children. The resulting being would be [[Made of Evil|purely of the Darkness]] with no human "weaknesses". Once it was born the Darklings mutinied to the creature's side as it tried to become a [[Self Made Orphan]]. It went about as well as you'd expect, but left Jackie without access to his powers for quite some time.}}

* Played for laughs in ''[[The Awesome Slapstick]]'', when protagonist Steve Harmon is thrilled that high school beauty Barb Halsey loves his alter-ego, Slapstick. His [[Black and Nerdy]] friend Mike then points out that his Slapstick form lacks the requisite equipment...

* Done with [[Kaiju|Fin Fang Foom]] in ''[[Nextwave]]''.

* In the last issue of ''[[Crystar Crystal Warrior]],'' with his dying breath, the evil wizard Zardeth punishes Moltar and Lavour for [[Heel Face Turn|betraying him]] by restoring Moltar's humanity, but leaving Lavour still a woman made of living magma. And this just after Lavour had finally realized that she genuinely loved him. Fortunately, [[Lava Is Boiling Kool Aid]], so they don't have to avoid each other entirely, but they can never touch.

* Seems to be the case with Princess Kavatah in ''[[Megalex (Comic Book)|Megalex]]'', at least as of Volume 1. A noble general tries to touch her romantically, and he bursts into flame. She believes it to be a curse.

Line 89:

* Edward and Bella can't have sex in ''[[Twilight (Literature)|Twilight]]'' because he would crush her and/or suck her blood ({{spoiler|this is true for the first 3 books anyway}}).

** To be more exact, Edward refuses to have sex with Bella before marriage due to his old fashioned values.

* Subverted in Spider Robinson's ''[[~~Callahans~~ Crosstime Saloon (Literature)|Callahans Crosstime Saloon]]'' series. Michael Finn, a humanoid alien cyborg, believes he can never have sex because (like Superman in the above example) his superhuman abilities would cause him to accidentally injure or kill whoever he has sex with. One of the other characters points out that he can still administer oral sex, and be given hand jobs.

* ''[[Discworld (Literature)|Discworld]]'' wizards can't have sex because there is a risk that the resulting child could be a sourceror, a magician powerful enough to destroy the world by accident. They don't seem to have heard of non-procreative sex.

** Judging by ''[[Discworld (Literature)/Moving Pictures|Moving Pictures]]'', at least, the idea seems to be to never ever tell them anything about sex so that they have no idea how it works. If they don't know ''how'' to have sex, they won't, and no sourcerors will show up!

Line 133:

** Plastic wrap is a beautiful thing.

* In season 2 of ''[[Torchwood]]'', after {{spoiler|Owen dies and is resurrected, becoming a moving, thinking corpse}}, he finds that he can no longer have sex. This is the time that Toshiko finally confesses her feelings to him...

* In ''[[~~Alphas (TV)|~~Alphas]]'' Rachel's powers leave her prone to [[Sensory Overload]], making sex at least very difficult.

* In ''[[Alphas]]'' Rachel's powers leave her prone to [[Sensory Overload]], making sex at least very difficult.

* Nick and Natalie venture into this territory in ''[[Forever Knight]]'', because sex and feeding are very much tied together for vampires, and Nick is mostly unable to control himself once he starts feeding. He knows he'd either wind up turning Natalie or more likely, that he'd kill her.

Line 154:

== Western Animation ==

* In ''[[Futurama]]'', after members of Zoidberg's species mate, they die. Averted because this doesn't stop them.

** [[Truth in Television]], as a lot of species die after they mate. Some species of arthropods even [~~http~~:~~//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_cannibalism~~ eat their mate during or after sex.]

** Also, giant amazons that give you death by SNU-SNU!

* Brock Samson (of ''[[The Venture Brothers (Animation)|The Venture Brothers]]'' fame) can never go past second base with Molotov Cocktease (the only woman he ever loved) because of her chastity belt.
