Line 11:
As Roman Catholicism teaches that sex is to be strictly reserved for marriage, it is easy for non-Catholics to [[Did Not Do the Research|assume]] that Catholic children are almost never taught about sexuality in a way that promotes an informed understanding of themselves and their world. This feeds into an idea that since they supposedly know nothing of these things, seducing them would be a lot easier than seducing more 'enlightened' girls who 'know better'.
 
Alternatively, even those who know differently may feel that a Catholic girl striving to be innocent is a [[Forbidden Fruit|desirable]] [[Nature Adores a Virgin|virgin]], who is a greater challenge to seduce, and thus a "greater prize" if she [[Peer Pressure Makes You Evil|caves under pressure.]] Or else there's the notion (sometimes [[Truth in Television]] but more often wishful thinking, given the fetish-fantasy nature of the trope) that a seemingly chaste schoolgirl may actually be a plain old-fashioned [[Hypocrite]], only going through the ''motions'' of chastity and religiosity for the benefit of parents and teachers, similarly to [[Seemingly -Wholesome Fifties Girl|another trope somewhere around here]], and who is just itching for a chance to [[Naughty By Night|reveal her less-than-religious side the moment no one's looking.]] All that repression leading to a simmering cauldron of typical teenage hormones just looking for a chance to boil over in a plethora of exciting ways in an attempt to rebel.
And of course for some there's good old [[Nostalgia Filter|nostalgia]], as plenty of Catholic school alumni can fondly remember their own hormonal teenage years.

Line 40:
* Tom Stahl's wife does a cheerleader routine before having sex with him in ''[[A History of Violence]]''.
* ''[[The Kentucky Fried Movie]]'': This is the entire point of the [[Show Within a Show]] parody sexploitation film ''Catholic High School Girls in Trouble''. The clothing doesn't actually make an appearance. Because there is very little clothing involved.
* ''[[DEBS|D.E.B.S.]]'': The entire point of the movie (well that and [[Girl -On -Girl Is Hot]]), a tiny-budget film that follows this trope. A blurb for the film: "Plaid-skirted schoolgirls are groomed by a secret government agency to join an elite cadre of spies."
* ''[[Cruel Intentions]]'': Both Sarah Michelle Gellar and Reese Witherspoon do the Catholic Schoolgirl thing.
** This is parodied by Mia Kirshner's character in ''[[Not Another Teen Movie]]''.
Line 54:
* ''[[Dogma]]'': Salma Hayek as Serendipity is wearing a schoolgirl uniform and working as a stripper when the protagonists first meet her.
* ''[[Bedazzled]]'' (2000) Elizabeth Hurley's [[Satan Is Good|Devil]] wears a schoolgirl outfit, as one of a whole series of Fanservice-type costumes.
* ''[[Five Girls|5ive Girls]]'' : This [[Sy Fy]] original movie revolves around "sinners" who are sent to a Catholic reform school and are forced to wear naughty schoolgirl outfits. The events of the movie turn two of them into lesbians for [[Les Yay|some]] [[Girl -On -Girl Is Hot|reason]]. Bizarrely, this may even be justified, since everyone involved is either part of a conspiracy with a demon or being manipulated by someone who is, and the girls are being groomed for sacrifice.
* The second ''[[The Sweeney|Sweeney]]'' movie has Jack Regan meeting an informant in the park when a group of schoolgirls walk by and one of them [[Panty Shot|bends over to pick something up]]. Seeing how Regan is [[Distracted By the Sexy]] the informant quips: "I could be arrested for doing what you're thinking!"
* Referenced in ''[[Scott Pilgrim Versus the World]]'', when Scott admits with a certain scandalized pride that Knives is an actual Catholic schoolgirl, with the uniform and everything.
Line 83:
** 21 year-old Buffy dresses in a plaid skirt while dressing younger in order to seduce 17 year-old jock RJ in "Him".
** Similarly, in its spin-off series ''[[Angel (TV)|Angel]]'', Lilah dresses as a schoolgirl to jointly seduce Wesley and mock him for being in love with the bookish geek girl, Fred.
* ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'' had Time Lady companion Romana wearing a very ''[[St Trinian's]]'' style uniform in the "City of Death" serial. Lalla Ward, judging by interviews and the production notes, came up with the idea and had no concept it was a fetish.
* ''Lingo'': [[Ms. Fanservice|The female co-host]] of this [[Game Show]] once wore a classic schoolgirl uniform.
* In ''[[That Seventies Show|That 70's Show]]'', Donna goes to a Catholic high school and has to wear the uniform for perfectly legitimate reasons. Doesn't stop the boys from going crazy over it.
Line 173:
* ''[[Wapsi Square]]'': When the [[Golem]] Girls first appear, they are dressed this way. And drunk.
* Subverted in ''[[Everyday Heroes]]'' by Carrie, who is a devout Catholic, but goes to a public high school and dresses like everyone else.
* In ''[[Fansadox (Franchise)/Birthday Gift (Webcomic)|Birthday Gift]]'', Anna tries to seduce a new student, Ginger. [[Magnificent Bastard|She's half way there]] by the first... meeting.
* In ''[[Sinfest]]'' was [http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=3930 invoked] to make Seymour's wire nimbus ''[[Your Head Asplode|explode]]''. The day it's healed a [[Succubus]] really [http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=3982 used this costume]. The effect proved repeatable.
