Line 11:

Sometimes a consequence of [[Can't Get Away with Nuthin']]. Can be full of [[Unfortunate Implications]], especially in countries where abstinence-only sex education is prominent.

* Genderflipped in ''[[Narutaru]]''. [[Manipulative Bastard|Takeo Tsurumaru]] impregnates several girls in the course of the story. In the second-to-last episode of the manga, he has sex with main girl [[Action Girl|Shiina Tamai]] after she tells him that she loves him. Soon... ''he'' dies. Shiina, along with her [[Shadow Archetype]] Mamiko, makes it to the end.

* ''[[X 1999]]''. Sorata and Arashi. Subverted because ''he'' dies - first in the movie (though she follows him later), later in the TV series. He's still alive in the manga, but it's a sure thing he'll die sooner or later.

Line 27:

* Strangely inverted in ''[[Anatolia Story|Red River]]'', most of the important characters who die are the ones who never got the chance to have sex.

* Episode 32 of ''[[Blood Plus]]'' probably counts when Riku is raped by Diva and then turns to stone right in front of his brother Kai and her sister Saya.

* Every man who's ever slept with ~~[[Wolf~~ ~~Guy Wolfen Crest|~~Ryuuko Konuma]] has died. [[Parental Incest|Like her father]], [[Squick|and that man he sold her to]]. That's not to say she murdered them directly, either. Apparently sleeping with Ryuuko just sucks away your will to live unless you're a callous, violent maniac... [[Unholy Matrimony|like her boyfriend]] [[Big Bad|Haguro]]. Eeeeek.

* At one point in the yaoi manga ''Under Grand Hotel'' [[Depraved Bisexual|Swordfish]] has sex with Sen to the point where Sen would have ''died'' if Swordfish wasn't stopped by guards.

* Implied to have happened to {{spoiler|the other cabin attendant}} in ''[[Cage of Eden]]''. Subverted in the fact that {{spoiler|she was raped to death.}}

* In [[Urotsukidouji]], sex with the Chojin causes this.

* In ''[[Urotsukidouji]]'', sex with the Chojin causes this.

* In ''[[Basilisk]]'', [[Action Girl]] Kagerou's powers can cause this as her breath becomes poisonous when she's aroused. She in fact uses it to kill Koushiro Chikuma with a [[Kiss of Death|poisoned kiss]], and later when Tenzen rapes her, poisoning him and then snapping his neck. {{spoiler|Then it's horrifyingly subverted, as Tenzen's powers allow him to come back from the dead.}}

* ''[[Macross Frontier]]'': {{spoiler|Sheryl Nome and Alto Saotome}} have sex not long before battle and then, one is dead/missing and the other has terminal illness. {{spoiler|In the series they both get better, in the movies, [[Downer Ending|this is the end!]], Or is it?}}

* This is what led to Gilbert's death in ''[[Kaze to Ki no Uta]]'', although [[Drugs Are Bad|other]] [[Look Both Ways|factors]] helped as well.

* Iason Mink's and subsequently Riki's deaths in ''[[Ai no Kusabi]]'' are a direct result of the former's refusal to let the latter be in order to continue having forbidden sex.

* One early client of ~~[[Franken~~ ~~Fran|~~Fran Madaraki]] ends up like this after Fran saves his girlfriend by making her part insect. Apparently the species of insect in question instinctively eats its mate.

* In ''[[Starship Troopers (film)|Starship Troopers]]'', Dizzy Flores dies within 24 hours after finally having sex with Rico. Something she'd been wanting since the beginning of the movie. The sex, not dying.

* In ''[[All the Boys Love Mandy Lane]]'', Marlin gets killed just minutes after giving a blowjob to Jake. The cause of death? [[Freud Was Right|Getting a shotgun barrel shoved down her throat.]]

* [[Scott Pilgrim vs. the World~~|Scott Pilgrim~~]] ~~Vs The World~~ has an unusual take on this trope. In the Scott/Ramona vs Roxie fight, Scott defeats Roxie by poking her in the back of the knee after Ramona tells him that it's her weak spot. Roxie immediately has what is unmistakeably an orgasm, and bursts into a giant pile of coins.

** Watch the whole fight [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7y41_x7fcPA&feature=fvst here], Spoilers ahoy.

* Inverted in Norwegian slasher [[Cold Prey]]/Fritt Vilt. {{spoiler|The virgin who just refused to have sex with her boyfriend is the first one to die.}}

* Played straight in horrifying fashion in [[Se7en]], as one of the victims is killed {{spoiler|not just during or after the sex act, but BY the sex act with a bladed sex toy.}}

* In [[Cabin Fever]] a flesh eating disease scares off most of the teenagers spending their break in a ~~Cabin~~ in the woods. When only two are left behind, the requisite horror-flick babe figures that, seeing as their [[Out with a Bang|doomed to die anyway, she and the hero might as well go out with a bang]]. Only ''after'' the horny hottie gets his pork in her pouch does the guy question why they aren't using a condom. Of course, the woman tells him [[Tempting Fate|not to worry because "She's healthy."]] Oh good! Seeing as how all their friends had come down with this deadly illness, I was afraid she might be sick, too. No need to worry about that sinister soundtrack playing as she grinds you into the ~~matress~~, pal... Or those sickly red rashes that just appeared where you grabbed her back while you blew your load. But, just to be on the safe side, you should probably rinse off the salami with some Listerine when ~~your~~ done.

== Literature ==

* [[Ex Heroes]] has Cairex the Demon-Human Hybrid die in the backstory due to {{spoiler|getting a blow job from zombie Jessica Alba.}} No one is sure how to react to this story when they hear it.

* "Sex equals death" is the main theme in [[Kurt Vonnegut]]'s short story "Welcome to the Monkey House," in which a dystopian society prevents people from having (or enjoying, if they do try to have it) sex. The "villain" responds by basically {{spoiler|raping women to force them out of their belief that sex is wrong. It works.}}

Line 142:

Line 141:

* While it is not a quick connection of "sex then death", Thomas Hardy's ''[[Tess of the D'Urbervilles]]'' is certainly ''doomed'' by sex. The titular character is either raped or seduced (it's slightly ambiguous, but most assume rape) early in the book by a distant relative. This completely destroys her life and sends her on an ever-increasing spiral of despair for the rest of the book, repeatedly rejected because of being [[Defiled Forever]], until at last she murders the man who deflowered her and is hanged for it.

** Also, while one may argue whether it happened or not, it's implied {{spoiler|Tess and her husband Angel, who once abandoned her just because she was not a virgin then came back and tried to rescue her from execution, consummate their marriage in their hideout}}. And their hideout scenes are supposed to be those moments of (false) hope.

Line 181:

* In [[Outrageous Fortune]] gold digging Pascalle marries the much older man but they can't consumate the marriage because he has a serious heart condition. ''I could kill him with my body!''

* Take [[Up to Eleven]] with ''[[Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps]]'' in the episode ''When Janet killed Jonny'' when Gaz is killed by Donna's severed legs. And he's doesn't mind it.

Line 186:

* Briefly treated for laughs in the video for "Sweet N Sour" by the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. A couple are making out in a bathroom and then a monster comes out of the toilet are decapitates them.

* I'm surprised the video for "[[Lady Gaga|Bad Romance]]" hasn't been mentioned.

== Mythology ==

Line 203:

Line 199:

***** The reason for this being that in Bible times non-widowed non-virgins had virtually no chance of being married after being deflowered, (unless already betrothed) so marrying her rapist/lover was the only way she could get married and have some status in society. Getting married was woman's only option in those days unless she wanted to be an outcast.

* [[Discussed Trope]] and averted in [[The Epic of Gilgamesh]], where the titular character refused Ishtar, a goddess, seducing<ref>can't remember the original context...</ref> him, in a very interesting case of [[Genre Savvy|genre-savviness]] (remember, this is THE oldest written story EVER), by naming the mythological figures who met horrible demise accepting such offer. It's debatable whether he knew [[Woman Scorned|what his refusal would mean]] or not.

== [[Tabletop Games]] ==

* [[Mortasheen]] has two creatures designed to administer this: [http://www.bogleech.com/mortasheen/abysmal.htm Abysmal], an anglerfish with an illusionary ideal mate as a lure, and [http://www.bogleech.com/mortasheen/widoweed.htm Widoweed], a venus flytrap creature that attracts men via pheromones.

Line 240:

* Implied in ''[[F.E.A.R.]] 2: Project Origin'' if Beckett is killed while Alma is "grappling" with him. It turns out that she is actually trying to ''rape'' him, and process will actually kill Beckett if he doesn't fight her off. {{spoiler|She eventually manages to succeed when Becket is strapped into the Telesthetic Amplifier, which boosts his psychic abilities. Ostensibly those powers were supposed to be used to kill Alma, but instead they apparently strengthened him to the point that he could survive being raped by her.}}

* Happens to a seduced NPC in the Human Noble origin in [[Dragon Age]]. He or she opens the door of the playable character's room to investigate a noise and gets an arrow in the chest. However, you can find the noblewoman he or she arrived at the castle with dead later in the origin, meaning they'd have likely died anyway.
