Hollywood Sex: Difference between revisions

* [[Right Through His Pants]]

* [[The Immodest Orgasm]] (with [[The Modest Orgasm]] as an inverse)

As Hollywood Sex is so common, please only list glaring examples.

* If the guys who wrote ''[[Preacher (Comic Book)]]'' know anything about actual BDSM and fetishism, then they chose to hide it really well for the sake of [[Rule of Funny]] or whatever. ''Or'' it might just be that every single sadomasochist in the compic also just ''happens'' to be psychotic or similar.

* Inverted in ''[[Small Favors]]'': The BDSM is reasonably realistic, while the setting/premise of the comic is totally surreal. The protagonist is desperately trying to hide her [[Safe, Sane, and Consensual|SSC]] [[Casual Kink|BDSM]] relationship with a physical manifestation of a part of her subconscious from a physical manifestation of another part of her subconscious - who doesn't catch them, because she's busy getting seduced by the protagonist's neighbor.

* The hilarious [[Two-Person Pool Party]] in ''[[Showgirls]]'' is a particularly famous example.

* ''[[The Room]]'' famously features writer/director/star Tommy Wiseau thrusting enthusiastically somewhere around his partner's navel.

* Any of Samantha's sex scenes in ''[[Sex and the City]]'' count, though injuries are frequently shown in this instance. There's still a ludicrous amount of screaming, thrashing and athleticism.

** There was once an episode where she was bent on performing the ''entire'' book of Kama Sutra. (Which, for the record, [http://www.cracked.com/article_18450_7-kama-sutra-sex-tips-that-will-put-you-in-hospital.html is a horrible idea.])

Aversions or subversions where in one or more respect, the sex is presented more realistically than typical Hollywood Sex.

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzGvESR4erc This] ad for a dating site called Zoosk.com includes an [[Imagine Spot]] of two people trying to have Hollywood Sex. They fail miserably.

* ''Houkago no Himitsu'' by Nekota Yonezou is a [[Yaoi|BL]] short story with two high schoolers who don't know what they're doing. This ends realistically (there is some ripping). They promise to do more research next time they try.

* ''[[Futari Ecchi]]'', which seems to have "[[Deconstructed Trope|Deconstruct]] Hollywood Sex" as one of its goals, does indeed manage to be more realistic in its portrayal of sex—particularly the young, awkward-first-time sex only virgin newlyweds can manage.

* The French comic ''[[Dreamland]]'' mostly averts this when the protagonist and his girlfriend have their first time. While it "ends well" for both of them, the beginning is quite awkward, with Terrence putting his condom the wrong way at first for example.

* Roberta Gregory averts this in her comics ''[[Naughty Bits]]'' and ''[[Artistic Licentiousness]]''. She's great at depicting sex in all its awkward, sometimes unpleasant glory.

* Nite Owl and Silk Spectre's first sex scene in [[Watchmen (film)|The Movie of]] ''[[Watchmen]]'' has Dreiberg reacting like the extremely awkward man he is, nervously tugging at Spectre's clothing, bumping into her and apologizing profusely. [[Soundtrack Dissonance|Also the music.]]

* Averted in ''[[Kinsey]]'' when the main couple must go to a doctor to enable them to have sex.

* In the [[Ben Elton]] book ''This Other Eden'', the Hollywood star Max and his actress wife agree to have one last roll in the hay before their divorce. The narration specifically compares their perfect movie sex scenes with their real sex, complete with fanny farts and awkward elbows.

* [[John Green]]'s book [[Looking for Alaska]] has a girl performing oral on the main character. They exchange some awkward dialogue ("should I bite it?") then go to their more experienced friend to explain it to them.

* ''[[Mad TV]]'' has [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4QbzM3wu1w this sketch] on sex faces.

* Sex in ''[[The Sopranos]]'' is pretty realistic.

* The [[Flight of the Conchords]] song "Business Time" is a pretty hilarious aversion of this.

** Likewise "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vc8tPTVBRSc Ooh Girl - An Honest R&B Song]" by Mike Polk of Runawaybox.

* One of Bill Engvall's most famous routines involves how Hollywood Sex is different from real sex...which he knows from personal experience.

** "Well thanks for the wedgie, Romeo..."

* Sex in ''[[A Dance With Rogues]]'' is very...realistically...described. The game even tracks an integer for how experienced your character is, and varies the descriptions depending on that (though it is more often used to determine if you can use the 'if I have really good sex with this guy he will give me what I want' tactic). Most possible sexual partners are quite experienced, so acting like it makes sense for them, but Anden is understandably awkward.

* [[The Sagara Family]] proves that even an [[H-game]] can ground it's sex scenes in reality and still do it's job. While idealized, the narrative goes to lengths to avert or lampshade many [[Common Hollywood Sex Traits]]:

* The College Humor video "[http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1820859 Realistic Hollywood Sex Scene]" parodies this trope. It's awkward, gross, creepy, and pathetic... and it ''still'' manages to seem just a teensy bit sweet and romantic.

* Averted in ''[[Tales of MU]]''. Mack has no clue what she's doing during her first several encounters, and as such, it's not terribly enjoyable.
