* [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.
 
 
== Anime and Manga ==
* ''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.
* In ''[[Fushigi Yuugi]]'', Tamahome and Miaka decide to consummate their relationship knowing that this could very well be their last day together. [[Big Eater|Miaka's]] stomach grumbles, and they are both embarrassed by this awkward noise. (So much so that Tamahome can't continue!)
* The first story of Millefeuille's ''Great Reaction in Ecstasy'' is about a girl who has awkward and terrible group sex.
Line 80:
* ''[[Knocked Up]]''. The two main characters, Ben and Allison, are quite drunk, and Ben struggles with a condom. He doesn't use one, [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|and she becomes pregnant]].
** And then a later scene shows the two of them trying to have sex while she's pregnant. Ben is just a wee bit hesitant about [[Squick|doing it with their unborn child inches nearby.]] They struggle with different positions before finally giving up in frustration.
* Comical subversion in ''[[A Fish Called Wanda]]''-- Otto—Otto makes some utterly ''hilarious'' O faces.
** And there's absolutely no evidence that Wanda came at all. She just sort of lies there as Otto [[As Long as It Sounds Foreign|jabbers meaningless Italian phrases at her.]]
** [[Fridge Brilliance|Suddenly, the movie's title just got a lot funnier.]]
Line 114:
* The first sex scene between Leckie and Stella in [[The Pacific]] was refreshingly realistic. It's brief, slightly awkward, they both have reasonably odd o-faces, and you can even see him use his hand to guide himself in (it's under the blankets, but it's obvious what he's doing).
* ''[[Misfits]]'' comically averts this during '''any''' sexual situation involving Nathan - actually, very few sex scenes in the show play this trope remotely straight, but if Nathan's involved you know you're in for something particularly disastrous. He's been shown to suffer from [[Speed Sex|premature ejaculation]], has got his finger stuck in a girl's vagina during foreplay, and has displayed an o-face so off-putting and bizarre that his partner started laughing hysterically when she saw it. He also has a famous habit of "tripling" himself during sex - yes, kids, that's when you ejaculate, puke and shit yourself all at once - although luckily for everyone this one happens off-screen.
* As well as showing quite a considerable amount of [[Hollywood Sex]] between the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, Lizzie Siddal and various prostitutes, [[Desperate Romantics]] does at least depict Lizzie encouraging Gabriel to abandon the prophylactics they have apparently been using prior to their marriage. There is also some awkwardness shown between Millais and Effie the first time they're in bed together, though they get over it later in the series.
* The ''[[John Adams (TV series)|John Adams]]'' miniseries averted this every which way with John and Abigail's bout of reunion sex in France; it's fast, clumsy, and a little bit sweaty. [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|And still leaves viewers gazing dewy-eyed at the screen from the palpable emotions surging between them.]]
 
Line 124:
 
== Stand-Up Comedy ==
* 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..."
* Australian comedian Josh Thomas notes that for him, sex never involved [[The Immodest Orgasm|loud moaning and thrashing]], but more often, "Mm... mm... oh, gosh... mm... OH SHIT are you alright?! ... and then it takes you a while to get back into the rhythm..."
