Shows where [[Kill'Em All|lots of people die]] tend to have a [[The Scourge of God|strange conservatism]] about who gets killed. Anyone who engages in nonmarital sex, especially unprotected and/or with someone they don't really know, is almost guaranteed to get offed by the killer, even if the killer is choosing their victims totally at random. [[Fanservice Extra]]s are particularly vulnerable to this trope. |

Very common in [[Slasher Movie]]s, such as the ''[[Friday the 13th (film)|Friday the 13th]]'' and ''[[A Nightmare on Elm Street]]'' series. This could be a metaphor for the then-new AIDS scare, or for STDs in general, although according to one of the makers of ''[[Nightmare On Elm Street]]'', it was simply because he thought that people having sex will forget about everything else and be especially vulnerable to serial killers.

For a literal application, compare [[Out with a Bang]], [[Death by Childbirth]] (yeah, [[Anvilicious|we know...]]), [[Curiosity Killed the Cast]], and [[The Murder After]]. For the lite version, see [[Kiss of Death]]. [[Mate or Die]] is the inverse of this trope. Contrast [[A Man Is Not a Virgin]] and [[Her Heart Will Go On]], where the man is doomed, but the woman has [[Contractual Immortality]]. In some cases, the doomed man will leave [[Someone to Remember Him By]] ([[But I Can't Be Pregnant|Hur, hur, hur...]]). Don't even get us started if it's [[Bury Your Gays|with the same gender]]. Compare [[Cartwright Curse]] where death can happen even ''before'' the sex merely for being a love interest. |
