Line 39:
* Jae-yeong in ''[[Samaritan Girl]]'' by Kim Ki-duk. Although she engages in teenage prostitution, she does so in a surprisingly innocent way, and genuinely cares about her customers (regardless of the fact that they are creeps).
* Sonja in [[Woody Allen]]'s ''[[Love and Death]]''.
* Almost every Marlene Dietrich character, even after the actress had been dubbed "the world's most glamorous grandmother".
* [[The Breakfast Club|Allison Reynolds]] ''probably'' isn't this, but [[My Girl Is a Slut|likes to tell people she is]].
* Rizzo in ''[[Grease]]''
Line 54:
* Captain Roland, from the ''[[Temeraire]]'' series, is a borderline case, a sort of blurring the lines of this, [[Lady of War]], and [[Eternal Sexual Freedom]], despite being a woman in the early 19th century. It's good to be the captain ({{spoiler|later admiral}}) of one of the most critical dragons to the war effort (who don't accept male captains, hence the extra liberties allowed).
* Zinka in [[Diana Wynne Jones]]'s ''[[The Magids|Deep Secret]]'' is a nice young woman with quite a few sexual conquests under her belt (and a hobby of selling porn at fan conventions), and is fairly up-front about it all. {{spoiler|She also turns out to be married to the protagonist's brother, so score one more for eventual monogamy.}}
* Caddy from ''[[The Sound and
* Admiral Alice Truman from the ''[[Honor Harrington|Honorverse]]'' is noted mostly for three things: first, [[The Brigadier|her military genius]], second, her outstanding beauty, and third, her ''energetic'' love life. Her friends often joke that, due to her tendency to surround herself with similarly blonde and blue-eyed ''male'' officers, she is assembling a harem to match her in appearance. She's also a great female example of a [[Chivalrous Pervert]].
* Eva Bates in ''[[Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe]]''.
Line 64:
* Julia from ''[[Nineteen Eighty-Four]]''. She had her first affair at the age of sixteen with a sixty-year-old man, and went on to have multiple others. It's not just Miniluv who like to [[Double Entendre|do it to Julia]]. Of course she can't be open about this, partly because she's ostensibly a member of the Junior Anti-Sex League, partly because living unconventionally in a totalitarian [[Police State]] is inherently unsafe.
* [[Blithe Spirit|Caitlín Mulryan]], of [[Poul Anderson]]'s ''The Avatar'', states rather flippantly that she's only had about twenty lovers since losing her virginity at sixteen (she's thirty-four at the time). While this averages out to a little over one a year, keep in mind that ''The Avatar'' was published at at time when [[Double Standard]]s were even more prevalent. Caitlín is nonetheless presented in an [[Chaotic Good|entirely positive light]]. {{spoiler|In fact, as it turns out, her consciousness was engineered by [[Sufficiently Advanced Aliens]] in the hope that she would eventually [[Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence]]. (She [[Screw Destiny|chooses not to]].)}}
* Snow White from [[The Princess Series]] will risk her life for her friends and flirts with anything male, human or not. Implied to do more then flirt but its never shown
* Dagny Taggart from ''[[Atlas Shrugged]]'' doesn't have a world-beating sex drive, but she shamelessly enjoys the sex she does have and has sex because she wants to have sex.
* In ''[[Discworld]]'' Nanny Ogg was one of these in her youth, and has grown up to be a proper [[Dirty Old Woman]]. When another witch calls her a "strumpet", Tiffany Aching looks the word up...and concludes that a "woman of easy virtue" must be one who finds virtue easy, and someone who is "no better than she should be" must always be just good ''enough''.
Line 95:

* In the [[Dungeons
== Theatre ==
* Maureen from ''[[Rent]]''. "Ever since puberty, everybody's stared at me: boys, girls, I can't help it baby." Her current lover can't stand her flirtatious (if you ask Maureen) or slutty (if you ask Joanne) ways ("You were flirting with a woman ''in rubber''!"), leading to a combined [["I Am" Song]] and a pretty epic breakup.
* Ado Annie from ''[[Oklahoma!]]''. "I Cain't Say No" is her [["I Am" Song]].
* Petra from ''[[A Little Night Music]]''. There's a scene where [[The Ingenue]] Anne (virginal despite marriage) asks Petra if she's a virgin ("God forbid"), how old she was when it happened (16), and how disgusting it must have been ("Disgusting? It was more fun than the rolly-coaster at the fair").
* ''A Shot In The Dark'' has Josefa Lantenay, a good parlor maid who's bad at keeping her footing around men while not wearing panties. When the murder occurred in her bedchamber, she had been having affairs both with the victim and with the man of the house (but no others: "Josefa isn't really a whore - just bed-minded!"). When she's ultimately released from suspicion, she plans to go into a new line of work: striptease.
Line 136:
* Chakats from [[Forest Tales]].
* If the first "Spooning With Spoony" was any indication, That Chick With The Goggles from [[That Guy With The Glasses]].
* Seram from [[MSF High]], full stop. Also, recently, Michelle's hidden tendencies for this have been getting into the open.
Line 148:
** [[Clone High|"Or should I say, Catherine the So-so!"]]
* Another arguable [[Real Life]] example could be Julia the Elder, daughter of [[Emperor Augustus]] of Rome: known for her quick wit and lovable personality (which made Augustus, [[Magnificent Bastard]] that he is, to [[Papa Wolf|dote over her]]), she was involved in countless affairs that exploded into a scandal right smack when Augustus was implementing ethical reforms in the Empire. He was, unfortunately, quite harsh in his punishment and disowning of her. The [[Live Action TV]] [[BBC]] production ''[[I, Claudius]]'' dealt with this conflict, accentuated by '''[[Brian Blessed]]'s''' (portraying Augustus) bombastic lament of:
{{quote|'''''[[Really Gets Around|IS THERE ANYONE IN ROME WHO HAS NOT SLEPT WITH MY DAUGHTER??!!!]]'''''
