* ''Series/AlexRider'': {{Subverted|Trope}} when one of the pupils at Point Blanc makes a very possessive move on Alex, who finds her creepy and makes it clear he's not interested. When she tries to taunt him with this trope, he shuts her down HARD, resulting in her getting angry and telling him he "should have enjoyed it while you had the chance" before storming off. Also {{Averted|Trope}} by James, with whom Alex shares a "What a crazy bitch!" look.

* {{Averted|Trope}} in ''Film/TheGraduate''. Ben is quite shy and scandalized by the idea, and has to be talked into it. The woman in question was the wife of his father's business partner...



* ''Film/DinnerInAmerica'': Played straight and ultimately subverted. As a young punk, Simon will take whatever is available no matter what his interest level is. He agrees to attend the family dinner of Beth, a girl he's just met, when she bribes him with an offer of a blowjob afterward. Just before he's about to receive it, however, he allows himself to be clumsily seduced by Beth's lonely and very married mother, causing a scene when Beth discovers them making out. Later, he hangs around Patty while hiding from the law and pursues her even though he finds her weird and not especially attractive. When she gives her consent, however, he's recently been beaten up and has no strength to do anything but sleep.



* {{Inverted|Trope}} with ''Series/MarriedWithChildren'', where Peg Bundy always wants sex and Al Bundy is absolutely sickened by the very thought (though he's only sickened by the thought of sex with Peg, not sex in general).

* ''Series/MurderAtTheEndOfTheWorld'': Darby and Lee are a couple, but Darby is quite young and not yet sexually active. When she does give her consent, Lee happens to be in a weird headspace and declines, which disturbs Darby so badly that he has to apologize and explain himself

-->'''Hermione:''' I think I'm just going to have to bite the bullet and talk to him. It's going to be embarrassing but there is no avoiding that.\\
'''Mrs. Granger:''' It will be embarrassing. But don't forget, it will be just as embarrassing for Harry. Remember, don't pressure him into anything he isn't ready for. A lot of people think that guys are always ready, but it's not true. It would be wrong if a boy pushed you when you weren't ready, but it's just as bad if you pressure a boy.

* ''Series/{{Castle}}'' loves playing with this trope. In one episode the guest star honestly questions whether Castle is gay or in a secret relationship because when she propositioned him he refused (which she said she had never heard a guy say in that context), in another one Esposito and Ryan quip that Castle wouldn't be able to resist a girl's advances on the grounds that "he's a man and he has a pulse", and another episode had most of the male cast absolutely dumbfounded that a woman apparently slipped a man a date-rape drug, with the men quipping "Who roofies a guy? All a girl has to do is ask" multiple times. [[spoiler:Later revealed that the murderer attempted to invoke this trope, but the man in question subverts it by refusing to cheat on his fiancé with his ex.]]

Added DiffLines:

* {{Subverted}} in ''[[Literature/HomecomingWalsh Homecoming]]''. The defining test of manhood (at least in the culture to which the protagonists belong) is for a boy to spend the night alone with the girl he loves and ''not'' have sex with her, thus proving that he possesses the self-control to be considered a man.

If a male character is shown ''not'' jumping at the chance to have sex with a woman, he will be either gay or MistakenForGay (the latter scenario can be TruthInTelevision). This is also common in DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale; the idea that men can't be raped by women because men are always willing to have sex, with any woman, at any time. This is also one of the reasons for the stigma against UsefulNotes/{{Asexuality}}, especially in men; since all men supposedly enjoy sex, not being interested in it "clearly" means there's something wrong with them.

Nyarko is a stereotype flip, but not a notable aversion.


* Issei from ''LightNovel/HighSchoolDXD'' is an interesting [[SubvertedTrope subversion]]. On the one hand, he constantly and loudly proclaims his eagerness to make out with any beautiful woman and has a well-deserved reputation as a pervert and ThePeepingTom. On the other hand, any time things actually look like they might go somewhere he either [[ObliviousToLove fails to notice girl tries to seduce him]], or someone interrupts them. [[spoiler:Revealed to be a deconstruction, since being murdered by his girlfriend on their first date made him afraid of getting too intimate with girls.]]
* Nyarko from ''LightNovel/NyarukoCrawlingWithLove'' desperately wants this trope to happen and keeps trying to [[InvokedTrope invoke]] it by surprising her LoveInterest Mahiro in the bath or bed, hoping that he'll get into it and it'll turn into full-blown lovemaking. However, since Mahiro is a ChasteHero (and mildly put off by her being a ManicPixieDreamGirl ''and'' [[Franchise/CthulhuMythos Nyarlathotep the Crawling Chaos]]), it always just ends up with Nyarko suffering {{Slapstick}} violence.
