Line 6:
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]]. It's important to remember, however, that there is no such thing as ''complete'' Fetish Retardant, because [[Rule Thirty Four34|if it exists, somebody will find it arousing in spite of any efforts to make it unappealing.]]
 
Subtropes include [[No Yay]], [[IKEA Erotica]], and [[Mills and Boon Prose]].
Line 19:
 
When this happens [[In Universe]], it's a kind of [[Moment Killer]].

== Fan Fic ==
* This happens to a ''lot'' of fanfic ([[SturgeonsSturgeon'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 (Fanfic)|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 [[Lord of the Rings]] fanfic ''Celebrian'' is ''loaded'' with this. Even if you're someone who would actually be [[Rule Thirty Four34|turned on]] by the story's [[Squick|Squicky]] 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]].
* 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 a literal one-eyed trouser snake, considering Alucard's eye for [[Squick|Squicky]] humor.
* Several [[Star Trek the Original Series (TV)|K/S]] [[Slash]] [[Lemon|Lemons]] mention that Spock's dick is [[Alien Blood|green]]. Not limited to fanfics. Leonard Nimoy was asked if they were green. And yes, "they". Apparently, Vulcans have [[Bizarre Alien Biology|forked dicks.]]
Line 67:
* In ''[[Light and Dark The Adventures of Dark Yagami (Fanfic)|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 super big man thingy which was the size of a bus and twice as wide."
* Every single Sex scene in ''[[My Inner Life (Fanfic)|My Inner Life]]''. Only surpassed by the "Bonadage-ritual" scene, which is... [[Squick]] to the utmost.
* ''[[Forbiden Fruit the Tempation of Edward Cullen (Fanfic)|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]].
* ''Chocobo Nights'': even assuming that there are people out there who enjoy the thought of Tifa being impregnated by a chocobo, the [[Rouge Angles of Satin|terrible spelling]] renders it impossible to find this fic anything but either horrifying or funny.
Line 76:
== Film ==
* ''[[Showgirls]]'' is the film [[Trope Codifier]].
* Some porn of the [[So Bad ItsIt's Good]] quality is only watchable because it's damn funny how badly they [[Pun|screwed it up.]]
* Expect anything sexy in a movie being riffed on ''[[MST3K]]'' 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!")
Line 117:
* ''[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 [[EverythingsEverything'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|Unusual Euphemisms]] such as "lady softness", "volcanic crotch", "ladyfingers" (!!) and "codpiece" (to describe the penis itself, not what it's kept in).
Line 188:
* The [[Furry Fandom]] offers many opportunities for interesting couples, but it does not always work as intended. A rather infamous example comes from a kangaroo in the Rare Breed (porn) comic: "Ah yes! Squeeze my pouch-teats!".
** Hey, look at it this way. Unless it was a male 'roo, it obviously wasn't a case of [[You Fail Biology Forever]].
*** This is why there are ''varying'' [[Talking Animal|degrees]] of [[Funny Animal|anthropomorphism]]. In some cases, inappropriately-placed and [[Non -Mammal Mammaries]] just seem more wholesome, somehow.
** The "furspeak" that some writers/cartoonists insist on using can also turn a story meant to be sexy (or for that matter, [[Jack (Webcomic)|deep and meaningful]]) into hilarity in very short order. From anatomical terms like "tailhole" to the gender neutral pronouns that are often used for hermaphrodites ("shi" and "hir" being the most common combination).
*** Such as the terms "[[Yiff]]" and "murr."
