'''Wendy Ward''': Of course you haven't. Cause I'm one of only six people in the world who knows how to do it, and Adam, when you get to page 80 I will do it ''to you''. I'm even gonna throw in the incredibly difficult reverse ceiling squad, which normally requires a permission slip from a cardiologist.|''[[Action]]''}}
Someone with [[Really Gets Around|a lot of sexual experience]] knows a lot of maneuvers, but doesn't want to go into detail about them, [[Moral Guardians|for various reasons]], so they refer to them by some name that isn't even remotely descriptive, and often has the name of a place in it, for some reason. This is truth in television; e.g. Cleveland Steamer, the name of which has nothing to do with the act itself. Any innocent viewer will remain blissfully ignorant of the meaning of the phrase until someone tells them. [[Squick|Then they tend to wish they hadn't asked.]] One variation is where an unseen work describes or depicts a particularly bizarre, but nameless act. Another is where an act isn't named, only implied. Whatever the variation, it most likely involves one or two [[Noodle Implements]]. Related to [[Attack Pattern Alpha]]. See also [[Head-Tiltingly Kinky]].
And by the way, the punny page namer is the '''''Kama''' Sutra'', not ''Karma''.
Line 17:
== [[Anime and Manga]] ==
* In episode 9.5 of ''[[DearS]]'', Miu heads over to Takeya's house to check in on Ren, only to find her "Watching porn to study Takeya's preferences in the earthling ways of sex."
{{quote|'''Ren:''' ''Holy cow, that looks pretty complicated...''
'''Miu:''' '''''IS SHE SPINNING!?''''' }}
Line 23:
== [[Comic Books]] ==
* The "Elvish Tickler," in ''[[The Incredible Hercules]]''.
* During the Dave Micheline/Todd McFarlane run on ''[[Spider-Man]]'', Peter once carried MJ to bed, promising "The Venus Butterfly", a reference to the ''[[
* Two of [[Dori Seda]]'s works feature a foursome which look... difficult.
Line 30:
* At the start of the second ''[[Austin Powers]]'' movie, Austin is gung-ho to try out every single position in the Kama Sutra with Vanessa:
{{quote|''Don't you wanna try the "Wheel Barrow", or the "Praying Donkey", or 'The Chinese Shag Swing"?''}}
* In ''[[Easy A]]'', when Brandon asks Olive to pretend that the two of them had sex, he goes through a list of these:
{{quote|Brandon: It doesn't have a bonk; it can be anything. It can be an imaginary butterbean, lemonsqueeze, cowbell--
Olive: I don't know what any of that means.
Line 56:
* The above quote from the [[Too Good to Last]] tv show ''[[Action]]''.
** Later in the episode, she admits to another character that she made them up.
* Russell from ''[[Rules of Engagement (TV series)|Rules of Engagement]]'' seems to have a extensive list of these.
** And Adam, to his horror, discovers that Jen knows what several of these are.
* An episode of ''[[How I Met Your Mother]]'' had this, but since Robin was the center of the discussion, all the names were based around Canada. Read about it at www.canadiansexacts.org (a service of the Ministry of Health & Wellness).
* Of the "not named" variety ''[[Bones]]'': discussing a sex scene in her latest novel, people talk about "page 186." Apparently Hodgins invented it (but even he apparently has no name for it; instead, he simply refers to it as "that thing I do"), did it to Angela, and Angela "suggested" to Brennan that the latter put it in her book.
* Similarly, in the ''[[Red Dwarf]]'' episode "Marooned," Lister asks if he can burn ''[[Lolita]]'', and Rimmer tells him to "save page 61". Lister looks at it and says, "That's disgusting." then he rips it out, puts it in his coat pocket, and chucks the rest of the book in the fire. Kind of a subversion, as ''[[Lolita]]'' is a real book, so anyone can read it and find out what's so disgusting.
** Considering what [[Lolicon|Lolita is about]] there's of course the odd chance that [[You Do NOT Want to Know]]. Also [[Fridge Horror|what is says about Lister and Rimmer]].
* ''[[Torchwood]]'''s Jack and Ianto do it with a [[Noodle Implements|stopwatch]]. Naturally, in and out of [[Slash Fic]], the fans have puzzled over how that one works.
* Elliot of ''[[Scrubs]]'' renown at one point gained a reputation for [[Buffy-Speak|trampitude]]. When asked her 10 favorite positions, after the two she knew, she just started naming insects. Apparently "the stinkbug" is quite popular.
* The infamous "Venus Butterfly" reference from ''[[
** The Venus Butterfly [[Shout-Out|also showed up]] in [[My Own Worst Enemy]]
* ''[[The Daily Show]]'' likes to make references to these (the "Dirty Sanchez" being a particular favorite).
Line 87:
== [[Tabletop Games]] ==
* ''Stormbringer'' supplement ''Demon Magic'', adventure "The Velvet Circle." The Serpent's Coils (a brothel in Ilmar) has prostitutes who know a Dharijorian love technique called "The Slithering Serpent."
* ''[[Warhammer

'''[[Ciaphas Cain|Cain]]:''' "It's not, and even if it was it would be against regulations." }}
Line 115:
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* In ''[[The Venture Brothers]]'' fourth season finale, nearly every character has an idea for what exactly a 'Rusty Venture' is, offering a variety of conflicting descriptions, each longer and more detailed than the last, but no consensus is reached as to what it really is.
* In one episode of ''[[Family Guy]]'', the family is driving along when they see Peter standing on the curb whoring himself out (literally, as he's dressed as a ''female'' prostitute). Lois goes to chew him out, but Peter acts like she's a client, rattling off a list of sex acts he's willing to perform. The one that confuses Lois is "Cleveland Steamer", which Brian starts to helpfully explain, but Peter interrupts because he sees a policeman and pretends to be giving them directions.
** In the audio commentary, the writers confess complete amazement that they got away with this one, suggesting that the censors don't know what a Cleveland Steamer is and assumed it was [[Perfectly Cromulent Word|made-up]], or had to do with [[Black Best Friend|Cleveland]].
