* The hilarious [[Two-Person Pool Party]] in ''[[Showgirls]]'' is a particularly famous example.
* ''[[
* In the movie ''[[Shoot
* The same thing happens in the film ''[[Drive Angry]]''. Though it is implied that Milton's partner is psychologically scarred by the experience.
* Basically, all commercial pornography. This makes sense if you think about it: in real sex, the purpose is the participants' pleasure; in porn, it's for the viewer's pleasure. Unfortunately, it's also many people's first exposure to "real life" sex, which can lead to those people thinking [[Reality Is Unrealistic]].
Line 49:
== Live Action TV ==
* Any of Samantha's sex scenes in ''[[Sex and
** 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.])
Line 68:
* ''[[B Gata H Kei]]'' portrays not only the (almost) sex itself as awkward and difficult, but the relationship leading up to it, too.
* There's a BL manga where one of the characters is a masochist. His friend, who's in love with him, gets mad at his friends confession about liking [[The Bully]] and practically rapes him. The rough sex turns on the protagonist, but after the sex his friend is surprised to see he's covered in blood; mostly coming from his injured anus. This harms their friendship and the story has a [[Downer Ending]].
* The French comic ''[[

* Nite Owl and Silk Spectre's first sex scene in [[Watchmen (
* Averted in ''[[Kinsey]]'' when the main couple must go to a doctor to enable them to have sex.
** Everything afterwards follows this trope perfectly.
* ''[[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
** 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 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
** [[Fridge Brilliance|Suddenly, the movie's title just got a lot funnier.]]
* Eminem and Brittany Murphy have fairly unglamorous sex during a cigarette break in ''[[
* One adaption of ''[[
* ''The Cooler''. Pretty short scene, but, umm... not due to editing. Even shows cellulite; for which they had to shoot in Nevada due to possession carrying a mandatory minimum 10 year sentence in Los Angeles.
* ''[[Enemy
* The [[Coitus Uninterruptus|honeymoon scene]] between Bernard and Lydia in ''[[Four Weddings and
* Pretty much any scene that is presented in such a way that it has sparked genuine debate as to whether the two actors actually had sex on camera. Some examples include Mickey Rourke and Carre Otis in the Unrated/NC-17 version of ''Wild Orchid'', Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie in ''Don't Look Now'', the opening scene of ''Betty Blue'', Tony Leung and Jane March (who was underage at the time of filming) in ''The Lover'', and Bruce Dern and Maud Adams in ''Tattoo''.
* There have also been a growing number of mainstream films in which the realism of the sex scenes is unquestioned since the actors are.. um... "method acting" (''Shortbus'', ''All About Anna'', ''Baise Mois'', ''9 Songs'', etc.). However it can be debated whether the "Hollywood Sex" trope applies since as of 2010 no major mainstream "Hollywood" production has featured such explicit material, with the possible exceptions of the "reality TV movie" ''The Real Cancun'' and the heavily-censored swingers scene in ''[[Bruno]].''
Line 95:
* ''[[Blue Valentine]]'' features a depressing and realistic sex scene.
* The "Any = all" variant is discussed in [[The SM Judge]]: While Magda's masochism makes her enjoy pain, she's not at all into roleplaying or submission or humiliation or anything like that. Of course, the authorities fail to understand this distinction, maybe [[Straw Hypocrite|on purpose]].
* In ''[[Friends
Line 102:
* 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.
* Played with in the ''[[Slave World]]'' novels: Many [[Hollywood Masochism]] stereotypes are lampshaded and justified with [[Applied Phlebotinum]]. In the first few books, this include the stereotype that all real submissives enjoy everything in the kinky spectrum. This is backpedaled in the later books, where it's established that most people have some things they just can't handle, much less enjoy, no matter how many [[Getting Smilies Painted
* Very common in works by the [[The Des Anges Clan|Des Anges sisters]]; sex is at best a pain in the ass to clean up after, and will often feature fumbling, awkwardness, pain, and swearing at inanimate objects.
* ''Anatomy of a Boyfriend'' by Daria Snadowsky is fairly realistic. It discusses the teenage characters first times, fooling around (and trying to clean it up), and the funny noises they would make.
Line 115:
* ''[[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 131:
== [[Video Games]] ==
* 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
** The necessity of foreplay is frequently mentioned and seen to, especially with anal sex.
** One scene has the mother giving some (factually correct) contraceptive advice to her daughter.
