Line 11:
While being near-universal today in works that deal with romance and sex, this trope is a fairly recent arrival, since time was the [[Moral Guardians]] would have heavily frowned on the implications. It's also somewhat justified in modern society, which does not have as much of an emphasis on abstinence as it used to (which may have to do with the growing prevalence in media of the trope itself). It can just as easily be unjustified, though, in that your typical [[Hollywood Dateless]] is liable to have five times as many sexual partners over the course of a series as most people have in their lifetimes.
This idea is most obvious in settings where the characters are ostensibly supposed to be "normal". If they're explicitly sex freaks, or it's a story that doesn't really involve romance, or the characters are consistently monogamous, as opposed to serially monogamous, the trope is far less relevant. (For the record, a 2007 US survey indicated that the average American man has seven sexual partners in his life while the average American woman has four; only 29% of American men and 9% of women have had more than fifteen partners. [https://www.newsweek.com/whats-driving-gen-zs-aversion-sex-opinion-1638228 In 2020, despite sex being ''much'' more of a free and accepted act than before, another piece of research pointed to the ''opposite'' - newer generations tend to have have much less sex.])
[[Hotter and Sexier]] probably has a bit to do with this, as well as the fact that more ambitious writers may be of the opinion that [[Sex Is Interesting]].
