Sometimes the setup is there, but something kills it. Replacing a love scene's music with ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5csNO3oMrQ Thunder and Blazes]'' circus clown music will rapidly turn something appealing into something bizarre, absolutely wrecking any gratification the viewer might get out of it.
 
The writer might not realize that [[Anatomically-Impossible Sex|their knowledge of the reproductive system is limited at best.]] Or the exotic elements could just be overwhelmed by good ol' fashioned [[Nightmare Fuel]].

Subtropes include [[No Yay]], [[IKEA Erotica]], and [[Mills and Boon Prose]]. When this happens [[In-Universe]], it's a kind of [[Moment Killer]].
Fetish Retardant applies only when the unsexiness is entirely unintended, perhaps making something like a sexual [[Narm]] moment. If the retarding is something added in ''on purpose'' to keep the scene from being sexy, that's [[Fan Disservice]] ([[Fetish|though this can backfire spectacularly.]])
 
[[Buffy Speak]], [[Inherently Funny Words]] and [[Unusual Euphemism]]s are major causes of '''Fetish Retardant''' in written erotica.
 
Contrast [[Rule of Sexy]] (although it can become this when it fails). When this is inverted, it's [[Think Unsexy Thoughts]]. Naturally, these are Subjective, so there's no need to keep contesting entries.

* Oddly, most of the [[Fan Service]] involving [[Informed Attractiveness|women]] in ''[[One Piece]]''. The context of the scenes and the [[Noodle People|odd proportions]] might be contributing factors for some people.
* The [[Gainaxing]] in ''[[Umineko no Naku Koro ni]]'' goes from merely annoying to downright tasteless at certain points. It's like Rosa and Ange are the only women in the series who have ever heard of a bra. In context, due to their ignorant or immortal (really old) natures... they just might be.
* A [[Doujinshi]] featuring [[Suzumiya Haruhi|Tsuruya]] (whose [[Verbal Tic]]s include the non-words 'megas' and 'nyoro') was [[Scanlation|Scanlated]] into English. One page contains the immortal words 'My breasts... '''{{spoiler|megassa squeeze them}}'''.' Okay. Not necessarily this trope on its own, if you're pretty permissive about the quality of scanlations. But ''someone'' (most likely the discoverer of this [[Brown Note]]) on [[Four Chan|4chan]]'s /a/ (anime) board repeated the phrase {{spoiler|along with a picture of [[Star Wars]]' [[The Scrappy|Jar Jar Binks]].}} The reactions... well, phrases like '[[Brain Bleach|CAN'T UNHEAR IT]]' and 'will never remember anything associated with one without recalling the other and losing all pretense of attraction due to laughing/being revolted' probably get close.

== Comic Books ==
* An important health warning to anyone: women drawn by [[Rob Liefeld]] will make your genitals retreat into your pelvis and start building protective turrets. Unless, of course, you have a thing for women who use the pouches on their stomachs to digest food.
* Comic artist Greg Horn whose's [http://www.comicsalliance.com/2011/04/13/greg-horn-art/ reputation is just as maligned as Rob Liefeld's]—though — though his anatomy is better, this is in part because much of it is traced off of live-action porn. Most of his depictions of women either try too hard to be sexy or are just borderline offenseoffensive, like his infamous drawing featured Catwoman on all fours [https://web.archive.org/web/20150429234224/http://static03.mediaite.com/themarysue/uploads/2011/04/batman-and-catwoman.v4-349x550.jpg fours licking milk from a bowl]. You know your reputation is bad when [https://web.archive.org/web/20150430015927/http://static03.mediaite.com/themarysue/uploads/2011/04/catwoman.jpeg other artists in your field start makingtaking shots areat your work.]
* There's an xX-rated series called ''Housewives At Play'' that features a variety of female pairings, from fairly mundane (a seamstress seduces the woman she's making a wedding dress for) to highly odd (a Britney Spears-lookalike who owns a dairy farm turns a kidnapped woman into her cow-slave). But what sets this series apart from other x-rated comics is the sound effects: from "splip splip splup" to "splarp [[Squick]]" to "lick lick sluuurp", each and every panel is filled with [[Unsound noises which read like someone's trying to clear jello out of a snorkel.
* ''Banana Games'', a porn comic featuring two hot women screwing and shooting their way across the country. One of the women is big-breasted to the point of verging on impossibility; this will turn on certain fetish audiences while turning off others.
** For those who do enjoy such gigantic breasts, her first sex scene can be ruined by—andand all further scenes ruinedby justextension by thecan memorybe ruined by of—herher shoving her dirty, grime-and-oil covered feet straight at the reader.
** And for those who can overlook that as well, there's the fact that both heroines are essentially sociopaths; certainly the big-breasted one is. They kill a lot of cops and innocent people in very graphically depicted, and violent ways.
* The character Starfire from ''[[Teen Titans (Comic Book)|Teen Titans]]'' has always walked this line, being a [[Stripperiffic]] alien princess with [[Monochromatic Eyes]] and [[Rapunzel Hair|very long hair]] that sometimes looks very 1980s. ''[[Red Hood and the Outlaws]]'' then runs off a cliff with the fanservice by giving her [https://web.archive.org/web/20131008190154/http://i.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/article/6/5/3/113653.jpg?v=1 this] costume and having her pose in [https://web.archive.org/web/20150327021949/http://i.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/article/6/4/6/113646_v1.jpg anatomically impossible ways] while detachedly discussing sex. Add to that the heavy implication that she's emotionally [[Broken Bird|dead inside]] and it becomes more than a little disturbing, and as far as we can tell it was supposed to be unironic fanservice.
* Guillem March's work on books like ''[[Gotham City Sirens]]'' and ''[[Catwoman]]'' can sometimes fall into this, since while he generally has a decent grasp of anatomy, he sometimes really pushes it with the [[Fan Service]]. In particular, the end of the relaunch of ''Catwoman'' has {{spoiler|Batman and Selina going at it on a rooftop while still mostly in costume}}. but the circumstances, - including the fact that {{spoiler|they no longer know each other's identities thanks to a [[Retcon]]}}, - and Bruce's consent questionable consent made most fans of the pairing respond, not with "Yes!", but rather "[[Squick|Do Not Want!]]"
 
== Fan Works ==
* This happens to a ''lot'' of fanfic ([[Sturgeon's Law]], remember) for various reasons. [[IKEA Erotica]], creepy/weird euphemisms, [[Anatomically-Impossible Sex]], spelling mistakes that add fuel to the [[Narm]] fire, or just the [[Fridge Horror]] that sets in when you realize you're reading porn about a ''children's cartoon''.
* The infamous ''[[My Immortal]]'' Harry Potter fanfic, when the genitals are referred to as "thingy" and "you-know-what".
** You-Know-What? Wouldn't that be ''Voldemort's'' penis? Fetish Retardant indeed...
** How about when Draco "puts(s) his boy's thingy in ([[Wanton Cruelty to the Common Comma|her's]])"... Yeah.
* The notoriously awful [[The Lord of the Rings]] fanfic ''[[Celebrian]]'' is ''loaded'' with this. Even if you're someone who would actually be [[Rule 34|turned on]] by the story's [[Squick]]y sexual content, lines like "Oh, thank you, great-king-with-balls-of-fire, king-whose-great-rod-my-mouth-yearns-for." and "Very well, cock-sucker, suck-cock." are likely to cause a [[Narm|completely different reaction]].
** A common complaint about ''Celebrian'' is not about the [[Squick]]iness of the fic ofOR the rather [[Narm]]y dialogue choices, but the fact that the writing - and by extension the whole story - is surprisingly ''[[Beige Prose|dull]]'', going on, and on, ''and on'', to a point when even the most aroused reader who would find their kink on its contents will keep scrolling just to see when the fic just ''[[Ending Fatigue|finally ends]].''
* One ''[[Hellsing]]'' fanfic (title unknown) was pretty good up until the point where Integral started wondering about Alucard's "one-eyed trouser snake". [[Narm]] in itself, ''and'' completely [[Out-of-Character Moment|out of character]] for Integra.
** The funny part is that it's a real-life euphemism, but becomes rather freakish when you take into account his powers. And his one-eyed trouser snake is probably [[Body Horror|a literal one-eyed trouser snake]], considering Alucard's eye for [[Squick]]y humor.
* Several [[Star Trek: The Original Series|KKirk/SSpock]] [[Slash Fic|Slashslash]] [[Lemonlemon]]s mention that Spock's dick is [[Alien Blood|green]]. NotIt's not just limited to fanfics.; Leonard Nimoy was asked if they were green. And yes, "they". Apparently, Vulcans have [[Bizarre Alien Biology|forked dicks.]]
** Not just ''forked.'' Vulcan green ''tentacle'' cock has shown up on more than one occasion.
* In ''[[Light and Dark - The Adventures of Dark Yagami]]'': "He was as a big as a bus and was wearing leather pants which dint hide his [[Buffy Speak|super big man thingy]] which was [[Department of Redundancy Department|the size of a bus]] and twice as wide."
* Every single Sexsex scene in ''[[My Inner Life]]''. Only surpassed by the "Bonadage-ritual" scene, which is... [[Squick]] to the utmost.
* ''[[Forbiden Fruit: The Tempation Of Edward Cullen]]'': Most of the fic. Special mention goes to Edward's "throbbing lavender man-fruit [[Buffy-Speak|thing]]" and the scene where Jasper Cullen has sex with [[But You Screw One Goat!|an apparently non-anthropomorphic panda]].
* Pretty much every adult-rated fanfic encountered by the [[Protectors of the Plot Continuum]].
Line 76 ⟶ 74:
== Film ==
* ''[[Showgirls]]'' is the film [[Trope Codifier]].
* Some porn of the [[So Bad It's Good]] quality is only watchable because it's damn funny how badly they [[PunA Worldwide Punomenon|screwed it up.]]
* Expect anything sexy in a movie being riffed on ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'' to turn out this way. After all, if they weren't bad movies, they wouldn't be on the show.
** In ''[[Space Mutiny]]'', a female character's prolonged suggestive dancing only nauseates Mike and the Bots. ("She's presenting like a mandrill!")
*** Mostly because the woman looked to be possibly the oldest person in the cast... and the movie kept treating like a sexy teenager.
** In ''[[The Screaming Skull]],'' the complete lack of appeal in the movie's love scene prompts the line, "Flat, drab passion meanders aimlessly across the screen!"
** A movie called ''[[Racket Girls]]'' had the butt ugliest women ever in it. As Crow said: "My loins will never stir again."
** ''[[Mitchell]]''. Baby oil.
** In ''[[Hobgoblins]]'', Kyle obviously has some... unusual tastes in women. Considering the woman that appears in his Hobgoblin-induced fantasy looks old enough to be his mother, and her completely unsubtle come-ons are especially overdone, it's... really not as sexy as it was probably intended to be.
* In the Australian romantic movie ''The Heartbreak Kid'' (not to be confused with the Ben Stiller film), when the much-anticipated sex scene comes along the music they choose to play is ''Lacrimosa'' from Mozart's Requiem Mass. Funeral music? Not so sexy... unless you're an Uberuber[[Gothgoth]], that is.
* Many people believe the Neo/Trinity sex scene in ''[[The Matrix]] Reloaded'' was not sexy ''at all'', but instead [[Non Sequitur Scene|horrendously out-of-place]] and even a little bit gross, despite being juxtaposed with a borderline orgy scene. The fact that it's actually pretty hard to tell which of them is which may be a factor.
** The whole cave orgy scene can be Fetish Retardant, too.
** One reviewer described Trinity's relationship with Neo as being closer to that of a sexually indulgent aunt than a lover.
* ''[[Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li]]'' is not a good movie. The completely un-sexy "sexy" club dance between Chun-Li and [[Dragon Lady|Cantana]] didn't help, given the utter lack of any sort of heat between the two women, and the corresponding [[Fridge Logic]] that went with it. (Just how the hell does Bison's right hand woman not know who Chun-Li is?).
** [[But for Me It Was Tuesday|To her, it was just another Tuesday?]]
* Both [[Darren Aronofsky]] movies ''[[Black Swan]]'' and ''[[Requiem for a Dream]]'' have pretty explicit sexual scenes in them. But if you do get aroused while watching them, then you definitely need medical help as much as the main characters do.
* ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen]]'' has it when a girl making out with Sam {{spoiler|turns out to be a Decepticon. [[Panty Shot]] that reveals a tail... pass. Rape attempt with extensible tongue? Unless you're into tentacles, augh! Sam himself is [[Moment Killer|quite disgusted]], once he notices his throat tastes like motor oil.}}
** How about the ending of the first ''[[Transformers (film)|Transformers]]'' and the ending, involving Sam and Mikaela making out on top of Bumblebee, who as we know is ''sentient.'' Just imagine [[Something Else Also Rises|his E-brake slowly rising...]]
** {{spoiler|In movie, Sam is also quite disgusted. His throat tastes like motor oil.}}
** So first we hear something about "always wanted to be an astronaut". Then we see John Turturro's naked ass on the big screen.<!--probably more general Squick/Nausea Fuel/Fan Disservice or some mixture thereof, I'm not sure though.-->
** How about the first ''[[Transformers (film)|Transformers]]'' and the ending, involving Sam and Mikaela making out on top of Bumblebee, who as we know is ''sentient.'' Just imagine [[Something Else Also Rises|his E-brake slowly rising...]]
* ''Zerophilia'' is about a person dealing with a very rare condition that allows you to [[Gender Bender|change sexes during arousal or orgasm]]. Sounds cool, until you bring in the [[Fridge Logic]] involved with the mechanics of the condition. It's explicitly shown that orgasm is the key to full change. So how does it work when a woman with the condition has an orgasm while [[Portal Cut|having a man inside her]]?
** So first we hear something about always wanted to be an astronaut. Then we see John Turturro's naked ass on the big screen.
* ''Disco Pigs'' managed to do this with [[Cillian Murphy]], even when some thought that was impossible. We're just accepting Murphy [[Dawson Casting|(then 24)]] as a teenage boy, then he's shirtless. Ooh, drool. And heartbreakingly smitten with his female best friend. But then he goes into a ridiculously long monologue about his best friend, describing how he wants to be with her in rather graphic sexual terms, and she looks so cute and innocent [[Unfortunate Implications|and young and actually 16 in her nightie, and he suddenly looks really old...]]

** Of course, some girls loved it. However, many people had the same reaction as above - there is even [http://Starcrozz.deviantart.com/art/Disco-Pigs-27164928 artwork to prove it.]
* ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean]]'' has the releasing of Calypso. All tied up, barely dressed, but for the ropes, and even picks up the giantess fetish for those interested. The entire effect is completely ruined, though, when she suddenly morphs in tointo a giant wave of crabs.
* Burt Reynolds and Shirley Maclaine making out in the back seat in ''[[Cannonball Run]] II''.
* In ''[[The Piano]]'', people were treated to more of [[Harvey Keitel]] than they ever wanted to see.
* ''[[Caligula]]'' has a lot of fetish retardant. This is mainly a result of the [[Incest is Relative|uncomfortable incest]], particularly in a scene where Caligula makes out with his wife -to -be and sister while two lesbians 'watch' and have explicit sex in a nearby room. It also comes from sexy things quickly followed by gross stuff, with the whole mood of sexy things ruined in the beginning in Tiberius' palace.
* ''[[The Jacket]]'': Please, [[Keira Knightley]], put your shirt back on and eat a donut.
* Tommy Wiseau's ''[[The Room]]'' gave us numerous incredibly awkward sex scenes. The less said about Wiseau bottom the better.
Line 107 ⟶ 104:
 
== Literature ==
* [[Anita Blake]] brings us [[IKEA Erotica]], bestiality-porn via half-turned were-creatures, sex with [[Shotacon|underaged boys]], sex with mentally and emotionally damagedamaged [[Chippendales Dancers|strippers]], group sex with no sanitation ''ever'', some of the most terrifyingly [[Yum Yum|foodlike]] descriptions of oral sex ''ever'', group sex with only one woman, lesbian sex that takes place entirely in the mind ([[Hide Your Lesbians|apparently the author is a touch homophobic]]), and ''way'' too many men on one woman as a [[Stealth Pun|whole.]] All in all, some might like it, but [[Squick|Yuck''yuck''.]]
* ''[[Twilight (novel)|Twilight]]''. If the [[Purple Prose]] and ridiculous, [[Mills and Boon Prose|Harlequin romance-style descriptions]] of Edward don't make you laugh, the revelation that ''he literally [[Bishie Sparkle|sparkles]] in the sunlight'' certainly will.
** And then when it comes to the actual sex, if you aren't turned off by the incredibly violent injuries Bella sustains, it turns out that Edward is a pillow biter. Literally.
** And remember that his teeth are venomous. I'm hoping the pillow cases had dried off by morning.
** Not to mention the fact that he's always described as being ice cold to the touch, even in the love scenes. Sounds about as pleasant as using a popsicle. Or getting a pelvic exam with a cold speculum.
* ''[[Vurt]]'' by Jeff Noon manages to avoid [[IKEA Erotica]], but falls into a trap with the same effect, in its longest sex scene. An extended, rather literal metaphor is made, with the girl's vagina as a garden that ultimately gets "filled with sap."
** A [http://www.playgroundlaw.com/cgi-bin/browse.pl?sid=170 coral garden]{{Dead link}}, perchance?
* ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20110114014408/http://dearauthor.com/wordpress/2009/03/05/review-knight-moves-by-jamaica-layne/ Knight Moves]'' in its entirety. We have, among other things:
## The male lead meeting the female lead in the restroom, whilst he's taking a piss.
## A sex scene involving spinning; fun if you like [[Groin Attack|penis injuries]] and being kicked in the head, not so much otherwise, and a definite aversion of [[Everything's Better with Spinning]].
## The [[Written Sound Effect]] "queeb" in reference to withdrawal, making this perhaps the only book to describe sex in terms of 8-bit video game sound effects.
## [[Unusual Euphemism]]s such as "lady softness", "volcanic crotch", "ladyfingers" (!!) and "codpiece" (to describe the penis itself, not what it's kept in).
## [[IKEA Erotica]].
* ''[[The White Abacus]]'' by Damien Broderick falls into this category from apparent [[Author Appeal]]. It would seem Broderick thinks a woman with a rose growing out of her shoulder is [[Fetish Fuel]] rather than [[Body Horror]].
* Victorian porn in general, particularly the publication ''The Pearl''. They liked their lesbians back then. A lot. Just a little... [[Schoolgirl Lesbians|younger]] than most would today. (Only [[Lolicon|most, though.]]) But there's tremendous whiplash from going between period-correct but fairly standard "lesbian schoolgirl encounters" and "nice young women talking amongst themselves about how secretly they're naughty at night" and some of the... weirder pieces. The writing style can't help either.
Line 125 ⟶ 122:
* Absolutely anything and everything nominated for the [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Bad Sex in Fiction]] award.
{{quote|"Now she made a noise like a tortured [[The Moomins|Moomintroll]]."}}
* ''[[IT]]'' gives us {{spoiler|an eleven year old gang -bang, with all six of the main boys taking turns on the singular (very prepubescent) girl of the bunch to reforge their mental bond with one another}}. Many viewers are horribly trapped between a massive amount of [[Squick]] and possibly being taken in at how awkwardly heartwarming the scene still manages to be, especially {{spoiler|[[Dogged Nice Guy|Ben]] finally getting to admit how much he loves her}}...}} awwTo boot, butany amount of mixed feelings between "eww," butand "aww" probably make it that much harder...
* In the first ''[[Kitty Norville]]'' book, the image of a bunch of naked werewolves huddling together for warmth and closeness in a cave could be interpreted as [[Rule of Sexy]], or possibly a kind of [[Ugly Cute]]. But see the book's entry in [[Fridge Horror]] and then take another look. Earlier, the sex scene between Kitty and Carl is kinda hot, if you can dig the dom/sub aspect, but then Carl ends it by saying "I'll take care of you, and [[Abusive Parents|you don't ever have to grow up.]]"
* Arguably used intentionally with Johnnie in ''[[House of Leaves]]''. She has features that would regularly be considered sexy ([[Gag Boobs]], full lips, platinum-blond hair), but the [[Description Porn|description]] draws attention to their artificial nature: her lips are stuffed with fat sucked from a corpse, and her implants have enough salt water in them for two oceans. [[Red Eyes, Take Warning|Also, her eyes are red.]]
 
== Live-Action TV ==
* {{spoiler|Ianto and Jack's}} implicit... something (naked hide -and -seek, anyone?) in season 2 of ''[[Torchwood]]''. {{spoiler|Gareth David-Lloyd is cute. John Barrowman isn't exactly bad looking either. But put them together, subtract the clothes and add some implicit wild lust and you get the most hilarious pseudo-sex scene in ''Torchwood'' history. It's possible that some hardcore fans of the pairing were titillated, but more from the idea than the presentation.}} Maybe this was intentional - after all, {{spoiler|Gwen}} is laughing.
* In ''[[Tipping the Velvet]]'', the heroine ends up the plaything of a dominatrix/sexual adventuress, with a first encounter involving a device. Some readers found the equivalent scene in the book very erotic. In the TV version, ridiculous, impossible to describe music is playing throughout. It'sthat sounds more like the soundtrack to a sporting event., and Anyany sexiness is shattered.
* ''[[True Blood]]'' has a great many sex scenes, and a great many scenes involving blood. These scenes tend to coincide. [[Hemo-Erotic|Often]]. Then there's the corkscrew sex in season three.
** And then there's the neck-snapping sex in season two,. andBack (in season one), Sookie and Bill have sex immediately after he digs himself out of the mud while he's been sleeping in all night.
* inIn ''[[The Sarah Connor Chronicles]]'', ''that'' scene with Cameron in the last episode. [[Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick|Authoritative commands, removal of clothing, flick knife,---- wait, what was that last one? Ooookay.]]
* One ''[[Doctor Who]]'' episode has the Tenth Doctor imprisoned by the [[Foe Yay|Master]]; and being: kicked around, abused, humiliated, taunted, forced to sleep on the floor, made to eat from a dog bowl, locked in a cage, and mentally and physically tortured. [[Foe Yay|By his really fucking hot]] [[Arch Enemy]] and [[Evil Overlord]]. This, my friends, is possibly the hottest, sexiest thing that the sickest of all fangirls could hope fo—ohfo—[[Fan Disservice|oh wait, so the Doctor's actually a wrinkled, bald, shrivelled, butt-ugly old man in this episode? Just ''this'' one particular episode of all episodes?]] Oh. Never mind....
** To some, it's Fetish Retardant or even [[Fan Disservice]]. To others[[Fetish Fuel|....]] That entire scene was probably deliberately intended to induce either [[Squick]] or [[Squee]], and either way, ''it worked.''
* One ''[[Doctor Who]]'' episode has the Tenth Doctor imprisoned by the [[Foe Yay|Master]]; and being kicked around, abused, humiliated, taunted, forced to sleep on the floor, made to eat from a dog bowl, locked in a cage, and mentally and physically tortured.

Just ''this'' one particular episode of all episodes? Oh. Never mind....
** Definitely a case of "Ooh... the subtext is about to get really kinky. We gotta do something about that."
* ''The International Sexy Ladies Show'' focuses on such obscure fetishes that it's more alarming than sexy. These tend to pop up ''just'' after more conventional hot-chicks-in-bikinis-or-less footage.
* In the pilot episode of ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'', the extremely attractive Vaitiare Bandera has a funn full-frontal nude scene. Great... up until a Goa'uld symbiont burrows its way into her skull through the back of her neck.
* Used in-universe in the ''[[Community]]'' [[Christmas Episode]] "Regional Holiday Music"; at one point, Annie attempts to seduce Jeff into joining the Glee club by wearing a sexy Santa outfit and singing a provocative song. Since Annie is a rather attractive young woman, all would seemingly be good — except that Annie, normally a quite intelligent person, intentionally dumbs herself down until she eventually ends up crawling around squeakily singing babyish gibberish. Jeff is visibly just as discomforted and squicked-out, if not more, as he is turned on by the whole thing. He's probably not the only one.
{{quote|'''Jeff:''' Look, eventually you hit a point of diminishing returns on the sexiness.
'''Annie:''' What's a deminiminmeghh? }}
 
== [[Tabletop Games]] ==
* ''[[Dungeons and Dragons]]'' has the utterly notorious unofficial third party sourcebook, ''The Book Of Erotic Fantasy''. Cringing turns to laughter as soon as you look at the pictures, half of which are photos of the same few people (presumably cut-rate models), the other half of which look like terrible Photoshop efforts.
** It didn't help that it was [[Pandering to the Base|is lesbian-heavy]] in a way that borders on creepy, with the only male/male flavor text involvesinvolving an [[Unfortunate Implications|child-sized halfing]].
* Due to constant aversion[[Description ofPorn]] and [[ConservationPurple ofProse| Detail]], ''[[FATAL]]'' has plenty of this.
 
== Video Games ==
* In the early [[Xbox]] RPG ''[[Sudeki]]'', the character Ailish is pretty much made of the "Sexual Narm" version of this trope. There's just something really [[Uncanny Valley]] about everything she does that's intended to seem sexual (which is ''everything'', in case you were wondering).
* ''[[Miss World '96 Nude]]'' was probably supposed to be arousing on some level, but it didn't work. As Seanbaby put it in [https://web.archive.org/web/20131005065516/http://www.seanbaby.com/nes/naughty01.htm this NON-WORK SAFE review]: [[Nightmare Fuel|"Growling demon heads grow smaller demon heads out of their faces, and unleash an onslaught of terror that will cease any self-gratification you might have been starting on.]] The maggot-dripping vision of terror does eventually turn back into a topless girl, but [[Moment Killer|by then the point is moot.]] It doesn't matter if a lump of dead bodies burning in a fiery pit of hell turns into the most beautiful girl you've ever seen-- you're still done thinking about sex for awhile."
** The gameplay is based on ''[[Qix]]''. It's supposed to be an incentive to play well and finish the level quickly; in the original game, your score started going down if you took too long. UnfortunatelyChances are it's less about being sexy though and more about [[Schmuck Bait|deceiving the player]]; unfortunately, as the reviewer above pointed out, [[Fan Disservice|it all but defeats the purpose]] of including sexy pictures in your game to begin with.
** Chances are it's less about being sexy though and more about [[Schmuck Bait|deceiving the player.]]
** The chicks in the game look rather off, too. Some of the models' breasts are Photoshopped to a comical degree, burgeoning on [[Nausea Fuel]] once again.
* Invoked in ''[[Tsukihime]]'', where in Shiki's dream he rapes a 'doll' that is either Hisui or Kohaku. There is so little response, that even Shiki is dissatisfied. {{spoiler|It's actually not a dream, it's Shiki sharing perceptions with [[Big Bad|SHIKI]], who actually is having sex with Kohaku, and is setting up that she's, well, screwed up.}}
** Of course, all the other sex scenes in the game are so horribly written, they could count as well. But of course, the scenes are written by Kinoko Nasu.
** Speaking of the [[Nasuverse]], Red Saber's transparent-skirted, panties-showing outfit in [[Fate Extra|Fate/extra]] is turning out this way. Most of the fanbase doesn't find it hot; it's too out of place and hilarious. Not helping at all is that, in game, Red Saber is actually a very [[Shameless Fanservice Girl]] and is revealed to be {{Spoiler|a [[Gender Flip]] of infamous Roman emperor Nero}}, so the dress, while in -character, is still her trying ''waaay'' too hard.
*** But of course! The scenes are written by Kinoko Nasu.

* Sex in ''[[Fable (video game series)|Fable]]'' - the screen is blacked out, leaving you with only voice clips to go on. And every character in the game has a horrible, annoying voice. It's worse if you're going gay, too, since 100% of eligible male NPCs are ugly.
* Marian, the [[Damsel in Distress]] in most of the ''[[Double Dragon]]'' games, who is usually a good-looking woman ([http://www.vgmuseum.com/end/arcade/a/doubled.htm as seen in the original arcade game] and [http://www.vgmuseum.com/end/nes/a/dd2.htm the second NES game]), was given an ugly redesign in the [[Sega Genesis]] [[Porting Disaster|port]] by Accolade. The panty shots were still kept for the Genesis version, but they end up being more disturbing than sexy because of the way she looks ([http://www.vgmuseum.com/end/genesis/a/dd.htm see here]).
* An [[Ecchiecchi]] arcade game ''Pachinko Sexy Reaction 2'' (review [https://web.archive.org/web/20130812134520/http://www.digitalmonkeybox.com/pachinko_sexy_reaction_2.htm here]) features such visions of beauty as [https://web.archive.org/web/20160909034636/http://www.digitalmonkeybox.com/PReaction2.jpg this], [https://web.archive.org/web/20160909034240/http://www.digitalmonkeybox.com/PReaction6.jpg this] and [https://web.archive.org/web/20160909034509/http://www.digitalmonkeybox.com/PReaction4.jpg this]. It really says something when the [https://web.archive.org/web/20160909034152/http://www.digitalmonkeybox.com/PReaction1.jpg in-game chibi characters] are far more attractive than the ones seen in the cutscenes.
* In ''[[Dragon Age]]: Origins'', the scene you get when you consummate one of the romance options fails on many levels. The music is bad, the visuals are bad, those involved are still wearing their underwear, and it goes on far too long. Not to mention that glitch that can cause the player-character to still be [http://www.halolz.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/halolz-dot-com-dragonageorigins-dwarfcondom.jpg fully clothed/armored during the scene]. ''[[Mass Effect]]'' showed that less is definitely more.
** A picture of bored looking dwarf involved in such a scene is its own mini-meme.
** In her sex scenes, Morrigan is wearing a bra, while it's evident from her normal costume, that she usually doesn't burden herself with such things. This is more [[Narm]] than Fetish Retardant, but still, [[Fridge Logic|did she take the time to put a bra on just for the sex]] scene? Also, [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|she keeps her eyes open when she makes out with you.]]

* [[Femme Fatale|Viktoria]] [[PunA Worldwide Punomenon|revealing]] [[The Reveal|her true identity]] in the first ''[[Thief]]'' game.
** Morrigan keeps her eyes open when she makes out with you.
* Some fans theorize that ''[[Bayonetta]]'' includes so much over -the -top [[Fetish Fuel]] that it's intended to overload the player's kink gland, making it this. [http://www.kotaku.com.au/2010/05/bayonetta-creator-not-thrilled-with-erotic-bayonetta-send-ups/ The creator was apparently angry at people making porn of her].

* [[Femme Fatale|Viktoria]] [[Pun|revealing]] [[The Reveal|her true identity]] in the first ''[[Thief]]'' game.

* Most eroge/visual novel translations suffer from severely mood-breaking onomatopoeias. Fellatio simply should NOT make the sound "chap chap chap".
* ''[[The Sims]]'' 2 has the ability to "Woo-Hoo", or have sex. However, it's too cartoonish in noise and appearance to be arousing; it's [[Nightmare Fuel|even worse]] if you look under the sheets through hacking. The next game in the series cools down the comedy and adds actual moaning, but it's still not much. Making out, on the other hand...
* ''[[Mortal Kombat 9]]'' has Mileena. She certainly has a fair share of [[Fetish Fuel]], but also very, very pointy teeth.
** It's actually gotten worse as the graphics improved. Every girl without a mask has a body like a supermodel but in close-up, their faces tend to look manly. [[Uncanny Valley|Such is the cost of hyper-realism.]]
* Upon completing a level of hentai shmup ''Divine Sealing'', the player is treated to some pictures of girls stripping. Girls who, it turns out, [[Barbie Doll Anatomy|have no genitalia]]. Yeah, you'd think there'd be ''something'' there, seeing as their nipples are shown, or maybe that area would remain covered, but no. Instead we get a clear view of a [[The Blank|blank, featureless crotch]].
* Curiously, the general reaction among fans to the [[Hot Springs Episode|hot springs scene]] in ''[[Final Fantasy X-2]]'' tends to be annoyance, rather than titillation. Go figure.
* During the Atari 2600 era, a company called Mystique thought it would be a good idea to make erotic videogames for the system. -[[Beat]]- [[Face Palm|They made porn games for a console where dragons looked like]] [[media:AdventureDragon 8968.png|this]]! One of their games was the infamous ''[[Custer's Revenge]]''. Whatever arousal component you could get from the controversial premise, it quickly gets down once you realize that the Native American lady Custer rapes is tied to a ''cactus''.
** One of their games was the infamous ''[[Custer's Revenge]]''. Whatever arousal component you could get from the controversial premise, it quickly gets down once you realize that the Native American lady Custer rapes is tied to a ''cactus''.
* ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' has this as one of the jokes Female Undead can tell:
{{quote|Female Undead: "Yes, they're real. They're not ''mine'', but they're ''real''."}}
** Also, the ''Steamy Romance Novel'' books you can occasionally find in the game. One of them you cannot read past three pages because "your good taste prevents you from reading it."
 
== [[Tabletop Games]] ==
* ''[[Dungeons and Dragons]]'' has the utterly notorious unofficial third party sourcebook, ''The Book Of Erotic Fantasy''. Cringing turns to laughter as soon as you look at the pictures, half of which are photos of the same few people (presumably cut-rate models), the other half of which look like terrible Photoshop efforts.
** It didn't help it [[Pandering to the Base|is lesbian-heavy]] in a way that borders on creepy, the only male/male flavor text involves an [[Unfortunate Implications|child-sized halfing]]
* Due to constant aversion of [[Conservation of Detail]], ''[[FATAL]]'' has plenty of this.

Line 194 ⟶ 185:
** "Let me paint you a picture... imagine a Chik'har hive maiden scuttling out of her mottled carapace. Her inviting translucent heaving with ripe larvae! She retracts her guard plates, where forty alien breasts bristle with nipples! Yes... a thousand times yes!"
* ''[[Shredded Moose]]'': [[Sarcasm Mode|everyone's favorite]] [[Gorn]]-filled misogynist [[Web Comic]] whose artist can't draw breasts is full of this.
* In-universe in ''[[El Goonish Shive]]'': Dan, of all people, finds the vampire-swooning stuff "a little odd". Susan reminds: him that the worst vamp-Fetish Retardant is the simple [[Fridge Logic]].

* That "[[Hotter and Sexier]]" issue of ''[[Sonichu]]''. Yikes.
* ''Kit 'N Kay Boodle'': A [[Furry Comic]] in which everybody [[Yiffyiff]]s around all the time. It might just be tolerable, if not for the fact that the characters are drawn in a [[Art Style Dissonance|cutesy cartoon style]], clashing bizarrely with the rampant fucking.
* ''Pron Quest'', a CGI rendered porn comic, has some unfortunate character designs for something that's supposedly meant to arouse the reader. The leading lady has the build of a little girl, except for her big breasts, and a bunch of the men are [[Gonk|repulsive-looking]] [[Deep South|redneck stereotypes]].
** The characters are meant to be avatars in a [[World of Warcraft|WOW-style]] MMO. The little girl characters are mostly gnomes and halflings. At any rate, most of the sexuality is played for laughs rather than arousal and frequently intentionally invokes this trope.
* In-universe in ''[[The Magnificent Milkmaid]]'', when a character with [[Gag Boobs|comically huge breasts]] is called a "freak" by someone she's in love with. Whether it applies out-of-universe is up to the individual reader...
