== [[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."
Line 40:
* ''[[Eating Raoul]]'': Mary is reviewing the flood of incoming letters for their fledgling sex-fantasy business. She asks, "What's a Basket Job?" Returns as a ''[[Brick Joke]]'' later, as one of the swingers at the big party complains vaguely while recounting a half-heard story: "Some Basket Job!"
* Although forgettable in every other way, ''[[Deuce Bigalow|Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo]]'' knew what it was and really went to town with this trope, giving us such intrigues as the Mud Pretzel, Turkish Snow Cone, Irish Facial, Filthy Lopez, and Cambodian Creamsicle. The Portuguese Breakfast even became a [[Running Gag]], [[Incredibly Lame Pun|climaxing]] with some Comic Sutra ''almost'' being [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_TxQEE7Z44 demonstrated on-screen!]
 
 
== [[Literature]] ==
* The handmaiden Ptraci, from Terry Pratchett's ''[[Discworld/Pyramids|Pyramids]]'':
{{quote|Ptraci defused the situation by grabbing Alfonz's arm as he was serving the pheasant.
"The Congress of the Friendly Dog and the Two Small Biscuits!" she exclaimed, examining the intricate tattoo. "You hardly ever see that these days. Isn't it well done? You can even make out the yoghurt." }}
* ''[[Lamb: The Gospel According To Biff]]'' includes a sequence in India where, while Joshua is learning things like yoga from Gaspar the Magi, Biff learns a number of bizarre sexual positions from a prostitute. It's obviously a take on the Kama Sutra, but seeing as the real Kama Sutra doesn't have positions like "The Rhinoceros Balancing a Jelly Donut on its Horn"...
* In ''[[The Hollows|Dead Witch Walking]]'', Ivy gives Rachel a copy of a vampire dating guide so she won't accidentally set off Ivy's bloodlust. Rachel makes the mistake of reading it on the bus, and being asked about various acts by other bus riders.
Line 54 ⟶ 53:
* ''[[Heirs of Alexandria|Shadow of the Lion]]'' has a position called the "twin Camellias", which involves a footstool and a number of cushions, and "could very well give a man a permanent back injury".
 
== [[Live -Action TV]] ==
* "Mexican Halloween" on an episode of ''[[Community]]'' isn't just a nickname for the Day of the Dead; Chang, Troy, and Jeff all seem to know what it is, while Abed and Annie don't.
* The above quote from the [[Too Good to Last]] tv show ''[[Action]]''.
