I'm a Man, I Can't Help It: Difference between revisions

* Chuck Bass on ''[[Gossip Girl]]'' pretty much uses this as his excuse when he beds everything with a pulse to keep himself from feeling the hurt of Blair leaving him.

* ''[[Coupling]]'' In the episode, "The Girl With Two Breasts", Jeff is asked out by his hot coworker, Wilma, and since, he's not the best at speaking, he wears a wire so the other members of the group can listen in and give him advice. Wilma propositions him for sex which Jeff is resistant to, since he's dating his boss, Julia. However, Wilma says she's also seeing someone and is just looking for some fun on the side, asking, "How can you say no to a night of unconditional sex?". Susan is furious when she hears this and demands that Steve tell Jeff the reason he can say no, but Steve is unable to think up a reason, eventually blurting out, "[[Crowning Moment of Funny|Jeff, don't. It might be a trick]].", leaving Susan quite angry with him.

* [[Mad Men]] plays with this trope. Men are blamed for not resisting their urges, and women are blamed for luring men to fall prey to their urges. But the show itself demonstrates that everyone has these desires and people are complex and flawed.

* Discussed in [[Misfits]], where Nathan claims that "The siren call of a blow job renders all men powerless."
