* [[A Date With Rosie Palms]]: Yota does this to relieve himself after spending a long and tense (*snerk*) night sharing the bed with Moemi, who was completely naked except for a long jersey. To explain things out: {{spoiler|An emotionally broken Moemi was deliberately trying to excite and then reject Yota to make him forget about Ai, but Yota was desperately resisting and controling himself because Moemi's [[Near-Rape Experience]] was still fresh on her memory. (Moemi was also counting on this to manipulate Yota, no matter how much she disliked the idea of playing dirty against Ai.) The next morning, when Moemi prepared herself to return to her home, Yota asked his penis to "Withstand just until Moemi were out of sight and then he would give him his reward"}}

** Takashi purposely [[Jerkass Facade|tries to look like one]], so Moemi would stop liking him and start paying attention to Yota. Unfortunately, this idea went horribly wrong.

* [[Jerk With a Heart of Gold]]: Toshiki Karukawa is an irresponsible pervert who dates and dumps girls just like that and is constantly trying to peek at Len's panties or naked body. He would give his life for his friend Hiromu, shed tears of blood when Hiromu's initial crush went sour, {{spoiler|took a good beating to save Hiromu and Ayumi from a gang, politely rejected Len when she felt she HAD to have sex with him to make her mission easier, etc.}} There's a reason for why this ''extremely'' lecherous boy was still capable to see the Neo Gokuraku, after all ([[Fridge Brilliance|and it shows quite the difference between "sex" and "emotions" as well]]).

* [[The Little Shop That Wasn't There Yesterday]] - In fact, you can't even ''see'' the Gokuraku store if you're not a genuinely good person. Youta saw it for his selflesness regarding Moemi; the [[Lovable Sex Maniac]] Toshiki found the Neo Gokuraku along with Hiromu because he truly cared for his best friend, despite his lecherousness.

** Of course, [[Video Girl Ai (Manga)|Video Girl Ai]]'s [[Playing With a Trope|toying with this trope]] is a pretty important plot point in the manga. For instance, Gokuraku Video's real role {{spoiler|is to use Video Girls to obliterate their renter's ability to love. The pure hearted are, in the opinion of [[Knight Templar|the people behind it]], too vulnerable and good to deal with [[Love Hurts|the harsh realities of love]], and destroying their ability to do so through the loveless Video Girls is the only way to protect them. This was ''supposed'' to be Ai's purpose, but the broken VCR did for that.}} Later on, {{spoiler|a rival [[The Little Shop That Wasn't There Yesterday]] opens up across the road from Gokuraku Video named Neo Gokuraku, run by Gokuraku Video's old clerk after he resigned out of disgust, aiming to get to the Pure Hearted first, and give them Video Girls (apparently allowed to have emotions of their own, unlike the Gokuraku girls) who can help them through love's tribulations.}}
