'''Ready for Lovemaking''' is when a character presents him/herself in a way that shows this character is totally ready to have sex. Usually applies to ladies, but can be guys as well, and for any sexual orientation. Often the character is lying on a bed and/or wearing something skimpy or nothing at all, but there are plenty of other ways that characters can present themselves.
Line 20 ⟶ 19:
Contrast [[Really Gets Around]], [[Ignore the Fanservice]].
[[Truth In Television]] - it's common knowledge that looking good (particularly by tapping into [[Fetish Fuel]] such as specific clothes) is half of the fun in sex (with the other being the act itself).

{{examples}}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* ''[[
** Louise did this for Saito when she was under the influence of a [[Love Potion]].
** She did it again with a cat girl outfit when not under control from a [[Love Potion]]... only for Saito (not knowing about any of her plans) to invite all their friends back to the hotel room. Awkward.
Line 35 ⟶ 37:
* "The Sleeping Danae Being Prepared to Receive Jupiter", a painting by Hendrik Goltzius.
== [[Comic Books]] ==
* Winnowill does this to seduce Rayek in an issue of ''[[Elf Quest]]''. As a bonus, she's shapeshifted to an aquatic form and is lying on the sea—ahem—bed.
* Kitty Pryde in [[Joss Whedon]]'s run on ''
== [[Fan Works]] ==
* A ''[[Pokémon]]'' fan comic{{verify}} has Dawn in the Galactic Headquarters naproom reading the "Please make sure the bed is unoccupied before getting in" sign. She turns around, and [[Big Bad|Cyrus]] [[Foe Yay|eagerly]] [[Lolicon|scoots over]] [[Hypocritical Humor|in the bed]] to make room for her. Dawn's expression makes it clear he's about to be disappointed.

Line 64 ⟶ 66:
* [[Played for Laughs]] in ''[[Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom]]'', in which Indy and Willie have an argument over their [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]]. Each one is certain that the other is hot for them (and they're both right), but their egos won't allow either to "submit". Thus, they retire to their individual rooms and the audience is treated to a montage as they prepare themselves for a wild night of raunchy sex, only to (angrily) realize that neither one is biting. Then, the trope is played its straightest after Indy is almost assassinated in his room and barges into Willie's to check for another assassin, with Willie reclining on the bed, positively ''giddy'' to see a crazed Indy bursting her door down.
== [[Literature]] ==
* Amy does this to Nathan in [[Christopher Moore]]'s novel ''[[Fluke, or, I Know Why the

** Buffy-under-Xander's-accidental-[[Love Spell]] in "Bewitched, Bewildered, & Bothered" shows up ''in the library'' wearing only a (very short) raincoat and a smile. Xander knows what's going on, and
* Brooke's first introduction to Lucas in ''[[One Tree Hill]]'' involved her naked in the backseat of his car. Later on in the series, Rachel tries it as well, and the actress hired to play Brooke in a movie based on Lucas' novel pulls it on Brooke herself, to see if she got Brooke's "signature move" right. Even Owen did it to Brooke once...

* At the end of ''Sexy [[Parodius]]'', when the villain octopus tries to escape, he does so past a naked woman (back to the camera) in this position. The player's ship startles her, and she turns over to cover herself... crushing the octopus.
