▲{{examples}}
== Abridged Series ==
 
== Fan Works ==
* The ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series (Web Video)|Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series]]'' example that provides the page quote.
** Joey provides a similar example, stating that you treat a [[Companion Cube|duel desk]] like you would a woman, "Sticking cards in it in regular intervals."
 
== Film ==
 
* In the Chinese (Hong Kong?) film ''Temptation of a Monk,'' the old monk has his head shaved by the protagonist. He does it so much more smoothly than the other monks, the old monk describes it as "just like what men and women do together."
* In the Movie ''[[Drumline]]'':
{{quote| '''Shaun''': Playing the drums... it's like making love. You can't keep looking down and seeing what's going on down there.}}
* In ''[[Lord of War]]'':
{{quote| '''Yuri Orlov''': Selling a gun for the first time is a lot like having sex for the first time. You're excited but you don't really know what the hell you're doing. And some way, one way or another, it's over too fast.}}
* Arnold Schwarzenegger's bodybuilding documentary ''Pumping Iron'' features a scene where Arnold talks about how pumping in the gym "feels like cumming inside a woman". [[Too Much Information|He goes further]] and adds that even after working out he still has the same feeling; "I feel like I'm cumming backstage, when I pose in front of thousands of people, I am cumming day and night!". The [[Soundtrack Dissonance|odd choice of music]] played during the scene makes it even weirder/funnier.
 
== Live -Action TV ==
* ''[[Black AdderBlackadder|Blackadder Goes Forth]]'':▼
 
{{quote| '''Lord Flasheart:''' The first thing to remember is: always treat your kite [taps picture of airplane] like you treat your woman!<br />▼
▲* ''[[Black Adder|Blackadder Goes Forth]]'':
'''Lieutenant George:''' How, how do you mean, Sir? Do you mean, do you mean take her home at weekends to meet your mother?<br />▼
▲{{quote| '''Lord Flasheart:''' The first thing to remember is: always treat your kite [taps picture of airplane] like you treat your woman!<br />
▲'''Lieutenant George:''' How, how do you mean, Sir? Do you mean, do you mean take her home at weekends to meet your mother?<br />
'''Lord Flasheart:''' No, I mean get inside her five times a day and take her to heaven and back! }}
* A [[Running Gag]] on ''[[The Fast Show]]'' with Swiss Toni:
{{quote| '''Swiss Toni:''' Going to the brink of death and back, in a nine car pile-up on a dual carriage-way, is very much like making love to a beautiful woman. First of all, brace yourself, hold on tight - particularly if it's a rear-ender. Pray you make contact with her twin airbags as soon as possible.}}
** Though when he had a nervous breakdown he descended into [[Metaphorgotten]]:
{{quote| '''Swiss Toni:''' Answering the phone, Paul, is very much like making love to a beautiful woman. You...pick up...the receiver...speak loudly and clearly...oh, and always state your name...''(To himself)'' You're losing it Toni...}}
* [[Steve Martin]] - "Hosting [[Academy AwardsAward|the Oscars]] is much like making love to a woman. It's something I only get to do when Billy Crystal is out of town."
* ''[[Monty Python's Flying Circus]]'':
{{quote| '''Bruce#1''': We find your American beer a little like making love in a canoe.<br />
'''Bruce#2''': Making love in a canoe?<br />
'''Bruce#1''': It's fucking close to water. }}
** A similar joke appears in a [[Discworld]] book; Vimes calls particularly weak coffee "love-in-a-canoe" coffee. [[Stealth Pun|The punchline is omitted.]]
* [[Real Time Withwith Bill Maher|Bill Maher]] on the Iraq War.
{{quote| '''[[Real Time Withwith Bill Maher|Bill Maher]]''': Our intention was good; to penetrate Iraq and bring it to a glorious euphoric climax. But it's clear now, that's not going to happen... and yet, we're still pounding away, causing the whole area to become painfully inflamed... and in that situation the kindest thing you can do is just pull out.}}
** [[George Carlin]] had used similar metaphors to describe Vietnam and the Gulf War.
 
== Newspaper Comics ==
 
* Used in an early ''[[FoxTrot]]'' strip, with Roger getting glared at by his wife after trying to lecture his son... on the fine art of lighting a fire.
 
== Video Games ==
 
* ''[[The Secret of Monkey Island]]'': "Swordfighting is kinda like making love. It's not what you do but [[You Fight Like a Cow|what you say]] what's important."
 
== WebcomicsWeb Comics ==
 
* Used in one ''[[Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal|SMBC]]'' page, about ''trees''. Let's just say someone had to clean bark out of his teeth.
 
== Western Animation ==
 
* Used a few times in ''[[Futurama]]''.
** Parodied in "The Series Has Landed", when Amy is trying to retrieve the keys to a spaceship from a claw arcade game.
{{quote| '''Bender''': "Come on, it's just like making love. Y'know: Left, down, rotate 62 degrees, engage rotor." <br />
'''Amy''': I know how to make love! }}
** After Fry first tries a delicious Poppler, he declares "It's like sex, except I'm having it!"
* From ''[[American Dad (Animation)|American Dad]]'':
{{quote| '''Jack:''' Now son, breaking in to a safe is like making love to a woman.<br />
'''Stan:''' So, we should just pound on it for like two minutes?<br />
'''Jack:''' No... you need to ''gently'' work the dials till she surrenders... }}
** A second example happens with a guy sweeping a broom outside an abandoned theater. He says sweeping's his passion, and equates it to making love. The Smiths drive away when he offers to show how a broom's like a phallus.
* ''[[South Park]]'':
{{quote| '''Chef''': Children, playing football is like making love to a really beautiful woman. You can't always score, but when you can, it makes all the trying worthwhile.}}
* Inverted in ''[[The Simpsons (Animationanimation)|The Simpsons]]'', when Homer actually is trying to give Bart advice about a girl.
{{quote| '''Homer''': Son, a woman is like a beer. They smell good, they look good, you'd step over your own mother just to get one! But you can't stop at one. You wanna drink another woman!}}
