Well, the young couple had sex. You know what this means -- [[Tempting Fate|they are doomed]]. Anyway, more often ''[[My Girl Is Not a Slut|she]]'' is.
Shows where [[Kill
Very common in slasher movies, such as the ''[[Friday the
For a literal application, compare [[Out With a Bang]], [[Death By Childbirth]] (yeah, [[Anvilicious|we know...]]), [[Curiosity Killed the Cast]], and [[The Murder After]]. For the lite version, see [[Kiss of Death]]. [[Mate or Die]] is the inverse of this trope. Contrast [[A Man Is Not a Virgin]] and [[Her Heart Will Go On]], where the man is doomed, but the woman has [[Contractual Immortality]]. In some cases, the doomed man will leave [[Someone to Remember Him By]] ([[But I Can't Be Pregnant|Hur, hur, hur...]]). Don't even get us started if it's [[Bring Out Your Gay Dead|with the same gender]]. Compare [[Cartwright Curse]] where death can happen even ''before'' the sex merely for being a love interest.
Sometimes a consequence of [[Can't Get Away With Nuthin']]. Can be full of [[Unfortunate Implications]], especially in countries where abstinence-only sex education is prominent.

Line 57:
** Especially for THE JACUZZI SCENE. [[Up to Eleven]] indeed.
* The entire plot of ''[[Basic Instinct]]'' (Catherine Tramell lives, however).
* [[Justified Trope|Justification]]: In the first ''[[Friday the
** Although there are later claims that the counselors tried to catch Jason who ran off and fell into the lake ''because'' he saw them going at it.
** A most notorious moment in the second movie is where two teens got killed while ''in the middle'' of getting it on. Jason killed them shiskabob style by skewering them both with a spear.
Line 66:
* [[Lampshaded]] in the movie ''[[Scream (Film)|Scream]]'', where this is the very first of the rules posited by [[Genre Savvy]] horror geek Randy Meeks for successfully surviving a horror movie. The other two rules cover drinking and doing drugs, and [[Tempting Fate|saying that you'll be right back]]. {{spoiler|He later gets killed in the sequel, and it's revealed that he spent a night with "Creepy Karen" before getting whacked}}.
** Not to mention it's hilariously subverted when {{spoiler|Sidney bangs the ''damned'' killer and gets to survive the movie!}}
* More or less every [[B
* Used in the original ''[[Halloween (Film)|Halloween]]'', where three of the five victims had just had sex, and the fourth was on her way to do so. It's heavily implied, however, that Michael Myers has some severe issues with sex, and the selection of victims is not at all coincidental.
** In an interview with AMC, John Carpenter (the Director) states "I have been accused of ending the Sexual Revolution, and for that I sincerely apologize."
Line 91:
** Lampshaded by M in ''[[Quantum of Solace (Film)|Quantum of Solace]]''.
{{quote| '''M:''' Look how well your charm works, James. They'll do anything for you, won't they? How many is that now?}}
** This happens to ''[[James Bond (Film)|James Bond]]'' himself in the [[Fake
** Parodied in ''Illuminatus!'', wherein the British agent Fission Chips leaves a trail of dead Eurasian girls wherever he may go.
** Played straight and averted in ''[[Live and Let Die (Film)|Live and Let Die]]''. Rosie Carver is killed after Bond seduces her. Solitaire, who is supposed to remain a virgin to retain her psychic powers, is also seduced by Bond and was supposed to be sacrificed in a voodoo ritual, but Bond saves her.
Line 97:
* Interestingly, the slasher film did not always contain this trope: in the 1976 Canadian film ''[[Black Christmas (Film)|Black Christmas]]'', the heroine is pregnant, {{spoiler|though the movie ends with her alone in the house with the killer}}.
** The first victim is also described as a "professional virgin."
* In ''[[So Bad
* In ''[[Once Bitten]]'', the hero is targeted by the vampire Countess ''because'' he's a virgin. He and his girlfriend end up having quickie sex in a coffin.
* ''[[Piranha]] II :The Spawning'' opening scene had a couple discussing where they failed to have sex because the guy found fault in everything. The hotel room was too dry, the beach too sandy and the boat too uncomfortable. They then go scuba-diving into a shipwreck and decided to have sex, you know nothing better than that, right? Well okay the killer piranha did kinda ruin the mood.
Line 189:
== Music ==
* "White Pearl, Black Oceans," a song by power metal group [[Sonata Arctica]]. A reclusive lighthouse keeper heads into town one night, meets a woman, and later sleeps with her. On his way home, her husband beats him so badly that he's unable to make it back to in time to light his lamp. [[Can't Get Away With Nuthin'|Naturally]], a ship crashes that very night, everyone on board dies, and the lighthouse keeper is so ridden with guilt that he [[Driven to Suicide|throws himself from his tower]].
* Briefly treated for laughs in the video for "Sweet N Sour" by the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. A couple are making out in a bathroom and then a monster comes out of the toilet are decapitates them.
* I'm surprised the video for "[[Lady Gaga|Bad Romance]]" hasn't been mentioned.
