''He died upon the honeymoon when she [[Double Entendre|got his Irish up]]''
|'''Da Vinci's Notebook''', ''Another Irish Drinking Song''}}
A character having a heart attack and dying ''during'' sex, to the embarrassment and mortification of his or her still-living partner. Generally used in comedy (because, unless it's [[Played for Laughs|played for laughs]], there's nothing pleasant for the person who was with that character at the time). Sometimes they also [[Go Out with a Smile]].▼

Alternatively, someone may be killed through other means during sex. If it's murder, then the killer may do it to get their jollies, or because that's when their victim's defenses are completely down.

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
Line 41 ⟶ 40:
* In the second chapter of ''[[Franken Fran]]'', Fran heals a crippled girl by making her part insect. When she goes to a love hotel with her new boyfriend after her convalescence is over, she instinctively eats her mate.
* The very first demon we meet in ''[[Berserk]]'' takes the form of a beautiful naked woman who lures men into sex with her so that she can transform into her true form and eat them alive. She is killed by Guts in the very first scene of the manga when she tries this on him and gets her brains blown out the back of her head with his [[Arm Cannon]]. But during the Eclipse, we get to see this Apostle in action {{spoiler|when she eats Corkus alive}}.
== [[Comic Books]] ==
Line 49 ⟶ 47:
* In ''[[Wanted (Comic Book)|Wanted]]'', the Professor mentions killing his arch-nemesis by giving his lady friend a [[Kryptonite Factor|radioactive]] condom.
* Common in the ''[[Ramba]]'' comic series. Two particularly disturbing incidences (from the same two-part story) are a woman being raped to death by a man with a blade attached to his penis, and a woman being drowned in semen.
* In the 'possible future' ''[[Spider-Man]]'' mini-series ''Reign'', it's all but outright stated that Mary Jane dies from radiation poisoning and cancer derived at least partially from exposure to Peter's radioactive semen, thus forming a particularly slow-working example of this trope. Seeing as that almost happened during ''[[The Clone Saga]]'', it makes sense.{{verify}}
** As a more lighthearted example, the villainous [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain|White Rabbit]] claims she was a [[Black Widow]] who "offed" he elderly husband this way ("Trust me, he died happy," she claims), although we can only take her word on that.
* The Host of ''[[The Darkness]]'' dies if they conceive a child, and the Darkness ''will'' make sure he does if he ever has sex. There are loopholes, however.
* Cinder, one of the members of Deathstroke's new [[Teen Titans (Comic Book)|"Titans"]] team of killers, is first seen having sex with one of that sucks out your [[Life Force]]. It doesn't help that her current form is based on the protagonist's subconscious ideal of the perfect woman, so he's [[Evil Is Sexy|obsessed with her]] at the same time as he's trying to track her down and kill her.

* In ''[[Divine Blood]]'' Aphrodite's [[Heroic Sacrifice|last]] [[Dying Moment of Awesome|stand]] in words of one commentator:
{{quote|
* ''[[Kuso Miso Technique]]'''s Abe Takakazu in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a85Xdmk_WIA this] fan video kills a guard by raping him. Which doesn't make much sense until later when it's shown all gay men have lightsaber swords for penises.
* In [http://anime.adultfanfiction.net/story.php?no=600044772&chapter=8 this] ''[[Code Geass]]'' fanfic (very soft for something hosted on adultfanfiction.net), Euphie is stupid enough to have sex with Suzaku who is recovering from critical injuries. He barely survives.
* In the ''[[Touhou]]'' doujin ''Though the Wind Cries'' {{spoiler|a man who lost his entire family in the drought blames Suwako for it. He then proceeds to rape her as she is going through quite a severe [[Heroic BSOD]] and does no resistance. However during this, something snaps inside of her and she kills the man during the act.}}

Line 69 ⟶ 66:
** Let's not forget Randall's story of his cousin who broke his neck trying to service himself.
* Formed the basis of the [[Black Comedy]] ''[[Liquid Sky]]'', in which a woman learns that ''anyone'' who sleeps with her dies, which she then uses to get revenge on several of her enemies.
* Xenia Onatopp in ''[[
{{quote|
* The Australian film ''[[Children Of The Revolution]]'' implies that [[Josef Stalin]] died in this way.
* In ''[[Species]] II'', most women who sleep with the man infected with alien DNA die from a five minute pregnancy that bursts their stomachs. Curiously, a woman similarly infected died the same way, instead of healing.
** First movie also had it, most notably with [https://web.archive.org/web/20130321041723/http://www.moviedeaths.com/species/dr._stephen_arden/ Alfred Molina] (link might be [[Not Safe for Work|NSFW]]).
* In the low-budget ''[[Clay Pigeons]]'', Vince Vaughn gets revenge on Joaquin Phoenix's behalf by ''murdering'' his ex-girlfriend during sex... with Elvis playing in the background.
* Happened to Goldie Hawn's character's husband at the beginning of the film ''[[Private Benjamin]]''.
** ''At the funeral:'' "What were his last words?" "I'm coming."
* ''[[Basic Instinct]]'' opens with a woman murdering her partner during sex. With an ''ice-pick''. Ouch.
* The success of the above seemed to cause a [[Follow the Leader|mini-deluge of poor imitations]] (or rather, considering the original was no classic, ''poorer'' imitations) using this very trope. Most notably, the incredibly cheesy [[Madonna]] vehicle ''[[Body Of Evidence]]'' opens with a wealthy man dying from a heart-attack caused by indulging in cocaine and the stress brought about by having extremely passionate sex with his younger girlfriend. The resulting court case asks the penetrating ([[Incredibly Lame Pun|pun definitely intended]]) question of whether "sex was the murder weapon". {{spoiler|Hint - it was.}}
* Done for laughs in the ''Thanksgiving'' segment of ''[[Grindhouse]]''.
* In ''[[Dave]]'', the president has a stroke while having sex with his secretary. White House staffers then [[Prince and Pauper|replace the president with a body double]].
* [[Playing with a Trope|Played with]] in ''[[The Happiness of the Katakuris]]'' when one guest, a sumo wrestler who went out with a bang, was lifted to reveal his girlfriend had suffocated underneath him afterward.
* The political scandal in ''[[The Birdcage]]'' is the result of a noted politician going
** Of course, this was also used in the French original, ''[[La Cage aux Folles]]''. The conservative political leader, while noting that most of the national newspapers have fondly eulogized the president, noticed that one liberal newspaper noted that the president's last words were "Remember my little gift."
* In ''[[Se7en]]'', the Lust victim suffers a particularly gruesome form of this, via bladed dildo.
Line 96 ⟶ 93:
* In ''[[The Infernal Affairs Trilogy|Internal Affairs II]]'', {{spoiler|the capo "Gandhi" gets suffocated with a plastic bag by a "masseuse" when he's expecting a different kind of "happy ending".}}
* In ''[[Spies Like Us]]'', Chevy Chase even ''says the line.'' Perfectly subverted in that {{spoiler|everyone in the group of spies and Soviets gets to have sex with someone, and then they figure out how to disarm the nuclear missile and avert world obliteration}}.
* In ''[[
* ''[[Invasion Of The Bee Girls]]''{{context}}
* In ''[[Death Becomes Her]]'', [[Bruce Willis]]'s character has a "customer" who died this way, big grin and all.
* In the screwball comedy ''Sibling Rivalry'' (1990), The one-night stand of Marjorie Turner (Kirstie Alley) dies during a wild rumpus. This lands Marjorie in a fine mess.
* The 2011 film ''[[The Victim]]'' begins with [[Danielle Harris|a stripper]] dying of accidental head trauma while being raped in the woods.
* In the film ''[[Patriot Games]]'', one Irish assassin is a redhead beauty that chokes her target during sex at the beginning of the movie.
* ''[[Very Bad Things]]'': The death of a stripper while having rough sex with one of the guests at a bachelor party is what kicks of the [[Plethora of Mistakes]] that drives the plot.
* ''[[Cabin Fever (film)|Cabin Fever]]'' features a moment where the diva is convinced that there is no escape from the deadly disease going around. Rather than actually trying to flee the infected area, like most of her friends, she resigns herself to her fate and decides to spend her last minutes gettin' her freak on. Grabbing the nearest available man, she gets naked in the blink of an eye and rides the dude to her last moaning madness. She was in such a wild mood the guy didn't even have time to put on a rubber. Pitty for him that it turned out she had the disease while they were doing the deed bareback. I guess [[Death by Sex|he went out ''from'' a bang]].
* In a German sex horror film called ''[[Rossa Venezia]]'', the killings are touched off by a wife coming home to find her hunting-crazy husband in bed with a pretty young thing riding his lap. As quietly as she can, she picks up his elephant gun and lets her have it in the back of her head. Just so happens they were climaxing at the same time too, making this a twofer for the unlucky gal. She then proceeds to [[Ax Crazy|flip the hell out]] and rampage across Germany Mrs. Vorhees style, killing anyone she sees 'doing the deed' or just having done it. For less of a bang but still a bang, she executes a couple of other women with electrified dildos.
** ''[[Ten Little Maidens]]'' with input by the same writer also features an electrified DOUBLE dildo as part of an incredibly unrealistic murder ploy. Yeah, that [[Fetish Fuel|seems to kind of be his thing]].
== Jokes ==
* An old joke, somewhat [[Not Safe for Work|NSFW]]: Two people are having sex in the back of a car when the man suddenly has a heart attack whilst still joined with his partner. The woman freaks but can't get him off her; she nevertheless manages to summon help, who get the emergency services to come out. They determine that the only way to get him out of there is to take the roof off the car. The fire department saws the roof off the car and manages to get the guy out, and as the paramedics are taking him away a police officer tries to comfort the woman, who is sobbing hysterically. She says "Don't worry, your husband's going to be fine." The woman replies "Fuck him, he's not my husband. It's my husband's car, though." Ba-dum-tish.
* Another joke: An ambulance is called early one Sunday morning to the home of an elderly couple, the paramedics find them both naked in bed - him dead, her weeping. When the paramedics ask what happened she explained: "Well my husband had a weak heart, but we both still wanted to have a sex life. So we'd only have sex once a week, timing our thrusts to the sound of the church bells to keep it slow.... ''if only that '''fucking''' ice cream van hadn't come along!''"
== [[Literature]] ==
* ''[[The Color Purple]]''. Celie finds out at her father's funeral that he died during sex with his new young wife.
{{quote|
'''New wife:''' ''(whispering)'' On top of me. }}
* In the novel ''Como Agua Para Chocolate'' or ''[[Like Water for Chocolate]]'', Tita's lover Pedro literally dies at the climax, due to a sudden heart attack.
* In the ''[[Book of Amber]]'', the lead character Corwin claims that when he said we wanted to die in bed, what he meant is that he wanted to be stepped on by an elephant while having sex.
* In [[Discworld]]'s ''[[
* Roulette, from ''[[Wild Cards]]'', has the superhuman ability to fatally poison men having sex with her, and she is manipulated by the [[Big Bad]] into being a hitwoman for supers.
* The first ''[[The Dresden Files|Dresden Files]]'' novel, ''Storm Front'', begins with Harry being called in to help investigate the deaths of two people who took going
** Also, White Court vampires (who are succubi and incubi) can kill with sex, especially if they're seriously injured and need to feed intensely. Lord Raith was such a boss White Court that he used to use this power as an opener at parties by [[Kiss of Death|''kissing'' someone to death]], something that takes most of his kind the duration of sex, so minutes instead of seconds.
**
▲*** This makes things very awkward for Butters and Dresden, {{spoiler|who were watching, expecting pain and despair rather than an orgasm.}}

▲'''Dresden''': Um, yes.<br />
▲'''Butters''': Good. Now I don't feel quite so Nabokovian. <br />
''[Cue comments about needing to get out more.]'' }}
* A strange aversion in the third [[Vlad Taltos]] book, when the main character decides (for no good reason) to have sex with the female assassin who just killed him (he got better, evidently); later, thinking back, he notes that he was wondering whether she would kill him before they finished.
Line 135 ⟶ 127:
** In his ''Darkness'' books, an officer decides to tie up and rape a hot spy for no particular reason and sends his soldiers out of the tent. She manages to get to a razor and slit his throat (though it is implied to be after he finishes) before cutting her bonds and escaping.
* Setup for [[Chuck Palahniuk]]'s ''Snuff'': An aging porn star is shooting a world-record gangbang and may or may not die at the end of it. A lot of the book is other characters arguing about whether this result is intentional and/or inevitable. The actual ending manages to be much more embarrassing.
* In the beginning of the ''[[Star Trek:
* A particularly disgusting variation of this occurred in [[John Connolly]]'s short story ''The Cancer Cowboy Rides.'' [[Enemy to All Living Things|Buddy Carson]] seduces a drunken waitress and has sex with her; however, on the second round, the waitress begins to feel the effects of Buddy's unique gift- ''fast-acting cancer transmitted by touch:'' tumours, black blood, and a slow and agonising death that Buddy watches eagerly.
* In [[Larry Niven
* In ''[[The Iron Dragon's Daughter|The Iron Dragons Daughter]]'', Jane used [[Deus Sex Machina|sex magic]] {{spoiler|to convert her unfortunate targets into jet fuel for Melanchthon.}}
* [[Gene Wolfe]]'s "There are Doors" had an alternate Earth where humans have a very different reproductive cycle; after sex women store men's semen in their body for the rest of their life, and can use it to have as many children as they wish. Men die, as their immune system shuts down.
* It's all but stated outright Kitiara from the ''[[Dragonlance]]'' books has killed men while or after having sex with them, iirc.
* "How's the Nightlife on Cissalda", a [[Harlan Ellison]] story about the human race ending because people were too busy having sex with aliens to eat

** (This appears to have been totally ignored by the modern-day [[DC Comics]] which have established Clark and Lois as a married couple who, presumably, have a non-lethal sex life.)
* In ''[[Angels
* Discussed in ''Zolang er leven is'' by Renate Dorrestein. A widower realises that there was nothing he could have done to prevent his wife's death, but he could have been making love to her instead of fighting.
* In [[Dan Brown]]'s ''[[Digital Fortress]]'', an obese man hires a prostitute. Because [[Incredibly Lame Pun|they came into]] possession of a {{spoiler|ring}} that the hitman was tracking down, {{spoiler|they were murdered while in the act, as the hitman's instructions were to kill anyone who had even seen the ring}}.

* In the book ''Snap Shot'' by A.J. Quinell, the Mossad agent Misha Wigoda is killed this way by the SDECE's agent Janine Lesage at the end of his interrogation. This was because, even though he was on Valium they couldn't extract any useful information from him until they discovered the lust Janine was producing in him. They used this to extract the information they wanted from him. Janine always wanted to kill a man while having sex as she had heard that when that happens the victim gets a monumental erection.
* In ''[[The Kingkiller Chronicle]]'', every man that [[The Fair Folk|Felurian]] meets dies of exhaustion after having sex with her. The rare few that survive emerge with their minds shattered beyond repair. Kvothe is legendary for being the only man to ever survive with his mind and body intact.
* ''[[The Laundry Series|The Jennifer Morgue]]'' has Ramona Random, a CIA agent with a [[Horny Devils|succubus]] bound to her soul who usually kills by these means. It leads to a nasty predicament where one of her targets has a heart attack during sex, and she needs the little death to go with the big one or the awakened succubus will eat her soul as well.
* In ''[[Time Scout]]'', someone conjectures that sex with Margo would kill you. His interlocutor implies that it would be worth it.
* In [[Michael Ely]]'s ''Twilight of the Mind'', a ''[[Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri|Sid Meiers Alpha Centauri]]'' [[Expanded Universe]] novel, the daughter of the imprisoned Sheng-ji Yang kills her husband, the new chairman of the Hive, by placing a poisoned device in her vagina and getting him to forget his distrust of her long enough to seduce him. As soon as he penetrates, he gets injected with a fast-acting poison, while her guards take care of his guards. Thus she becomes the new Chairman Yang.
Line 158 ⟶ 150:
* [[Roger Zelazny]]'s ''Roadmarks'' featured a woman who specialized in killing her partner at "the moment" so he was coming and going at the same time.
* The ''[[Sano Ichiro]]'' series used this as a major part of the plot in one of the books. {{spoiler|In ''The Perfumed Sleeve'', Sano's rival Makino dies during a threesome; his partners flee in panic, and his manservant finds his body and tried to "clean things up" so it looks like his master died with dignity.}}
* Averted, lampshaded, and played with in [[Robert A. Heinlein]]'s novel ''[[I Will Fear No Evil]]''. The protagonist's elderly husband dies of a stroke on their honeymoon cruise (while lifting a heavy object), and his wife tearfully asks their physician if a contributing factor could have been 'too much honeymoon'. Her physician discusses this trope with her -- and then points out that in his experience cardio-vascular events brought on by sex generally happen immediately ''before'' the sex act in question, as the most logical time for them to happen is during the initial blood pressure spike brought on by the pre-sex arousal.
* On an episode of ''[[M*A*S*H (television)|
▲== [[Live Action TV]] ==
▲* On an episode of ''[[M*A*S*H|Mash]]'', a visiting general goes [[Out with a Bang]] with Major Houlihan... [[Hilarity Ensues]] as the general's aide de camp spends the second half of the episode trying to find a battle into which he can bring the general's corpse. The idea, of course, is that instead of going [[Out with a Bang]], the general -- in the public eye -- will Go Out With a *BANG*.
* Forms the basis of the plot of at least one episode of ''[[CSI]]'', with rather roundabout complications.
** In this episode, the main suspect, {{spoiler|a very overweight woman, accidentally suffocates her partner when she passes out drunk on top of him. The woman actually told the police that she smothered him with a pillow, because she said she would rather confess to murder than suffer through the jokes that would be made about her because of the true nature of the victim's death. Believe it or not, the show handled this with a degree of sensitivity}}.
*** ''[[Picket Fences]]'' did a similar story, but without {{spoiler|the sex: an obese woman didn't want to admit that she'd rolled over in her sleep and smothered her husband ''by accident,'' so she claimed to have done it deliberately.}}
** And then there was the guy who {{spoiler|[[Too Dumb to Live|fell off a hotel balcony while having sex on the railing]]...}}
Line 169 ⟶ 161:
** The third season episode "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose" had the titular psychic suggesting that this would be Mulder's death: "You know, there are worse ways to go, but I can't think of a more undignified one than auto-erotic asphyxiation."
** In the same episode Clyde also predicted he himself would die in bed with Scully. {{spoiler|This ended up being true, as he died in bed, and Scully was in the room. He was in bed, and with Scully, but not in bed with Scully.}}
* Ha'Gel from ''[[Earth: Final Conflict]]''. Very similar method of death for his victims. Of course, he was desperate, as he seemed to be the [[Last of His Kind]]. He essentially rapes {{spoiler|both Sandoval and Beckett}} to produce Liam, the hero of seasons 2&3. Liam doesn't seem to acknowledge his alien parent any more than he absolutely has to.
* Supposedly fated to be Lister's death long after the events of ''[[Red Dwarf]]''. "He chokes to death, aged 181, trying to remove a bra with his teeth." The source of this information does not have a stellar record, however.
** He does seem to have a penchant for that kind of thing, though... in the episode "Timeslides" he gains a [[Portal to the Past]] and tweaks things a little, so that he does ''not'' go on Red Dwarf and instead dies in a plane accident, aged 98. He was having sex with his fourteenth wife and lost control of the plane.
Line 175 ⟶ 167:
** Not during, after. [[Family-Unfriendly Aesop|While cuddling.]]
* Parodied on ''[[Seinfeld]],'' where one episode includes Kramer passing out (while not during sex, the situation seemed headed that way). The woman he passes out on top of contacts her relative (brother?) who has mob connections, and Kramer wakes up in the East River.
* Semi-lampshaded in ''[[Star Trek:
* Portrayed in an episode of ''[[Law and Order: Criminal Intent]]'' that opened with a paranoid millionaire having his trophy wife gunned down after one last love-making session.
* Subverted in an episode of ''[[Night Court]]''. Dan Fielding met a woman who had killed most men she'd had sex with. The only survivor was [[John Wayne]], "... who never walked the same again." At the end of the episode, Dan emerged from her embrace while doing an impression of The Duke.
Line 187 ⟶ 179:
* Emmett of ''[[Queer as Folk]]'' had an older lover die this way. In an airplane bathroom.
* In ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' there is an episode where {{spoiler|Buffy and Riley compulsively have sex in a haunted house, fueling it with psychic energy in the process, and it is revealed they'll die from it if not rescued.}}

* Referenced in ''[[Smallville]]'', where Clark spends an episode worrying that this will happen to Lana, if he gets overexcited and loses control of his powers. He doesn't. Which is a pity, cause it would have been hilarious.
* In ''[[The Dresden Files (TV series)|The Dresden Files]]'', {{spoiler|Harry attempts suicide by vampire while having sex with her.}}
* One episode of ''[[Caroline in The City]]'' had Caroline help Richard fake his death to make his art more valuable and to get back at an art critic. They even arrange a fake funeral, and Richard manages to stay convincingly dead through a harangue by the critic who didn't buy his act, but just as he starts apologizing for his behaviour at the funeral, he mentions how Richard died. Caroline had been telling everyone he'd gone
* In an episode of ''[[3rd Rock from the Sun]]'', Sally and Harry were trying to kill an overweight fortune teller [[Killed to Uphold the Masquerade|they thought knew they were aliens]]. Eventually, they asked her how she foresaw her own death and she replied that she would be killed having sex.

* Happened to Larry Hagman's character in ''[[Nip Tuck]]''.
* On [[Ham and Cheese]]-fest ''[[Dynasty]]'', Cecil Colby (Lloyd Bochner) suffers a heart attack and dies underneath new wife Alexis (Joan Collins). Alexis slapping him in the face to bring him around adds [[Narm]].
* Subverted and then played straight in an episode of ''[[Chicago Hope]]''. A man has a very bad blockage in his heart and shows up to get surgery. It turns out the doctor is an old flame of his. He doesn't tell her about his heart condition, instead acting like the only reason he's come to town is to see her.(Which isn't entirely a lie. It was really both reasons). They end up having sex and he has a heart attack during it. He actually lives for awhile afterwards since the doctor took the necessary steps to preserve his life and got him into surgery immediately. But while in recovery, his wife shows up. He wakes up to see his wife and the doctor together and instantly assumes that the doctor felt guilty (she didn't know he was married) and told the wife about his infidelity. The panic causes him to have ANOTHER heart attack, which kills him.

* Happens in almost ''every episode'' of ''[[Silk Stalkings]]''. Sometimes more than once. One example stands out in "Where There's a Will": a wealthy man is murdered by his younger partner when she handcuffs him to the bed and forces him to take a sexual performance enhancement drug that aggravates his heart condition. The man starts begging her to stop when he realizes what's happening, but she ignores him and continues to ride him ''while he's suffering a fatal heart attack''.

* In his third ''Evening With...'' DVD, [[Kevin Smith]] talks about the requirements for being canonized, and says it helps dying in the name of God, which means you could be in the middle of coitus, and suddenly clutch your chest and cry out "Jesus!" and you'd be "Saint Nutsdeep, Patron Saint of Dying While Fucking".

It had all been [[Played for Laughs]]... at least until Torrie tried to [[You Killed My Father|get revenge for her father's death]] by- what else?- [[Let's Fight Like Gentlemen|defeating Dawn Marie in a professional wrestling match]]. When Dawn Marie showed up for their "Stepmother Versus Stepdaughter" match in ''mourner's clothing'' and close to tears it felt like the punchline to a different, much less funny joke.

* Multiple instances of this in ''[[FATAL]]'', including being the victim of an eternal orgasm spell and failing a saving throw if your anus or vagina is stretched too far.

Line 263 ⟶ 250:
** Subverted in the same game with {{spoiler|Jack; Mordin warns Shepard late in the game that this is a possibility if you're pursuing a romance with Jack. He hypothesizes that Jack might lose control of her already unstable biotic powers and accidentally kill Shepard mid-coitus. If you do consummate the relationship, however, nothing of the sort actually occurs.}}
*** A similar aversion also occurs with {{spoiler|Tali, except in this case Mordin is afraid that ''she'll'' be the one to die due to her species' degraded immune system. However, Tali's smart enough to take the right precautions and comes out of it with nothing more than a nasty cold. And even then, she admits that it was totally [[Worth It]].}}
* ''[[Sengoku Rance]]'' has the [[Ninja
* This is actually possible in '''[[The Sims]] 3'', as can be seen [http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_llnlyjwByq1qju6n5o1_500.png in this screenshot].
*
* ''[[Katawa Shoujo]]'' treats this seriously because it is a very real danger for the hero, who has a weak heart that can fail from too much excitement and/or physical exertion. Usually he's able to keep calm enough to avoid any problems, but at least one h-scene is cut short due to him coming ''extremely'' close to having a heart attack.
* This is a frequent outcome of a human having sex with a monster or angel in ''[[Monster Girl Quest]]''. The human may die of exhaustion, die from having their energy drained out (particularly common when the nonhuman partner is a succubus) or be eaten alive.
== [[Web Comics]] ==
* ''[[Get Medieval]]'': Seen in [http://get-medieval.livejournal.com/279288.html this comic].
* {{spoiler|Natsuki}} of ''[[Sexy Losers]]'' dies of exhaustion from too much sex.
* Magarce from ''[[Tally Road]]'' experiences this trope [https://web.archive.org/web/20100324145719/http://www.tallyroad.com/t/tallyroad-201.html almost] [https://web.archive.org/web/20100324152041/http://www.tallyroad.com/t/tallyroad-202.html literally]. If it were not such a shocking and gratituously furry image, the latter would almost be a perfect trope-illustration- except that she's not actually [[Death by Sex|dead]], just 'out'. One can only assume she has an (ahem) [[Made of Iron]].
* ''[[Amazing Super Powers]]''
* ''Dangerously Chloe'' started with Teddy accidentally getting into a demonic pact on a girlfriend, which led to summoning of certain young lady previously seen in ''[[Eerie Cuties]]''. So if they'll do it, the contract will be fulfilled on the demons' side, thus Teddy gets to die and be dragged to Hell. Later they found out that killing him won't require Chloe to actually do anything else - apparently, their link made Teddy vulnerable to being drained by her, circumventing her control over process; when another succubus "tasted" him a little, he didn't notice the drain at all.Unfortunately, they discovered the problem during "[[Practice Kiss|kissing lessons]]" (to get a girlfriend on his own and void the contract, he needs to know what to do, right?). Of course, [[Cosmic Plaything|that still being "Teddy-bear"]], almost dying wasn't enough, so ''on top of'' it this incident sent him headlong into yet another trouble.
** Also, a succubus without much practice of self control while excited is bound to "go wild" and messily kill a common soft mortal, no matter what her intentions were before - angels and demons are made of tougher stuff (Zachuriel at the end of an... unofficial meeting with Pandora was shown in a happily bewildered daze and covered in scratches, but no lasting damage), but demon boys are terrified of the succubi due to exaggerated rumors of this behavior, and angels usually are not an option due to the whole eternal enmity thing.
== [[Web Original]]==
* In the Chinese webnovel ''Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation'', the previous leader of the Laling Jin clan, notorious womanizer Jin Guangshan, died of overexertion after a night in a brothel. This scandalous and ingominious death caused his wife to break down and die from depression. {{Spoiler|It was eventually revealed that he was actually ''raped to death'' by the prostitutes, under the orders of his then recenly legitimized son Jin Guangyao, as revenge for learning that Jin Guangshan never actually cared for him; he later ordered the women to be killed to avoid spilling the secret, and only one of the ladies managed to escape and hide until she was found and forced to reveal the truth of the incident.}}
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* In one episode of ''[[Futurama]]'', Fry, Kif, and Zapp Brannigan are actually sentenced to "Death by [[Is That What They're Calling It Now?|Snu-snu]]" ([[Don't Explain the Joke|sex, naturally]]) from eight-foot-tall Amazons. Fry and Zapp's expressions upon hearing of their fate shift rapidly (and repeatedly) between horror and shit-eating grins while Kif sticks with horror. As shown by the image above, three skeletons of previous victims are seen nearby with crushed pelvises and very satisfied expressions.
** [[Memetic Mutation]] seems to have made "snu-snu" synonymous with this Trope, although to be fair, it is likely simply the Amazonians' word for sex in general.
** This would appear to be based on a joke that goes something like this:
{{quote|
* In the ''[[South Park]]'' episode "Quintuplets 2000", the elderly Grandpa Marsh has sex with an equally elderly Romanian grandmother. The next morning, he discovers her body in the throes of rigor mortis, and remarks "So that's why she didn't say good night."
** And Ms. Choksondik... [[Meaningful Name|well...]]
* This trope was spoofed in an episode of ''[[Robot Chicken]]'', which combined aspects of ''The Golden Girls'' and ''[[Sex and the City]]'':
{{quote|
'''Man sitting at an adjacent table''': [[Check, Please!]] }}
* Justified in ''[[Family Guy]]'', wherein one of the... involved parties is [[The Grim Reaper|Death]].
{{quote|
''([[Auto Erotica|Car]] [[I Love the Dead|resumes rocking]])'' }}
** Yeah, necrophilia. But this is ''[[The Grim Reaper|Death!!]]'' If there's ''anyone'' in the universe that is excusable for that...
* As a major case of [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]] in ''[[Justice League (animation)|Justice League]]'', Princess Audrey delivers this gem in "Maid of Honor":

* Attila the Hun reportedly died on his wedding night to his latest teenage wife of a heart-attack / nosebleed.
* Semelparous are organisms that die right after having sex.
