->''"I shouldn't be around him, I might do something I regret. I mean, I'd enjoy it, but... I'd regret it. I mean, I'd ''really'' enjoy it, but, oh, I really would-"''

Oddly, when the character isn't in a relationship, this trope is almost exclusively applied to females. Apparently, [[AManIsAlwaysEager men wouldn't even think about refusing sex in the first place]]. When the character is in a relationship, it can apply to both genders - although if sex follows, expect [[TheUnfairSex a double standard]].

-->'''Venkman:''' Go ahead - no, I can't. Sounds like you got at least at least two people in there already. Might be a little crowded.

* This trope causes a lot of {{UST}} in ''[[Literature/DoraWilkSeries Soul Thief]]'', as Dora - who has some lovers-related trust issues - doesn't want to change her relationship with Miron from friendship to something more intimate. They end up together at the end of the [[spoiler: book three]], though, subverting this trope.

* When Jerin meets the Princess Rennsaeler in ''Literature/ABrothersPrice'' she promptly starts EatingTheEyeCandy and seducing him. After fretting a bit he is happy to go along and put those woman-pleasing techniques he's gone over in erotic dreams to the test - it seems they work quite well - he finally says no so he can stay a TechnicalVirgin. He really wants to keep going, but it would ruin him.

* An episode of ''Series/JustShootMe'' does this with Nina, who takes Elliot's advice and abstains from sex for a while. [[ContrivedCoincidence Of course]], she's then visited by a former lover. In the end, she manages to restrain herself - if just barely.

Compare UnresolvedSexualTension, which is when the circumstances keep the two apart. May be a result of CantHaveSexEver and VirginPower. Often ends in AboveTheInfluence. Can overlap with ArentYouGoingToRavishMe. Expect AnAesop about how SexIsEvil or YouNeedToGetLaid, [[WriterOnBoard depending on the show's views on the matter]].

* Basically, the whole point of ''{{Literature/Twilight}}''. In the words of RogerEbert, "We all know there is no such thing as a vampire. Come on now, what is ''Twilight'' really about? It's about a teenage boy trying to practice abstinence, and how, in the heat of the moment, it's really, really hard. And about a girl who wants to go all the way with him, and doesn't care what might happen.”

* This trope is at the heart of the relationship drama in ''HyakujitsuNoBara'', where Taki is supposed to remain [[CantHaveSexEver physically]] and spiritually [[VirginPower pure]], but is in love with Klaus, [[LockedOutOfTheLoop who doesn't know about this]]. When he does give in, it's just before he's deported and is unlikely to see Klaus again. Of course, when Klaus announces that he intends to give up his own life to follow Taki the shit really hits the fan.

* It's mentioned in ''Literature/SplinterOfTheMindsEye'', which came out years before Film/ReturnOfTheJedi. There are many instances in this book and MarvelStarWars where [[IncestSubtext Luke and Leia]] very nearly have a RelationshipUpgrade and then decline or are interrupted, then drop the idea for a while, not sure why they're reluctant. But it always comes back.

* ''LegendOfTheSeeker'' has this with Richard and Kahlan.

* In ''TheHollows'', Rachel finds herself [[ElevatorGoingDown in an elevator]] with Kisten. On one hand, she has a boyfriend, and Kisten hasn't exactly been nice to her so far. On the other hand, she has [[PreClimaxClimax accepted that she's probably about to die]] and is highly vulnerable to [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampire pheromones]]. She gives into him, but is pulled back into reality when the elevator doors open.

* Callista in the ''{{Darkover}}'' series previously had a job that required her to be a virgin, and her mentor pretty much brainwashed her to not only not be sexual, but to forcibly fight off anyone who tried. Now that she's quit her job and gotten married, well... things are awkward when it comes to deprogramming.

* A RareMaleExample is found in Cate Tiernan's ''{{Sweep}}'' series, where Hunter decides not to sleep with his girlfriend Morgan (who is naked and in his bed) because he's about to leave on a long trip and didn't want their first sexual encounter to resemble anything that might be construed as him "loving and leaving" her.

* Nearly half a chapter in ''[[SwordOfTruth Wizard's First Rule]]'' is about Kahlan deciding she should sleep with Richard despite the fact it would destroy his mind, with her inner monologue going through rationalizations such as maybe he'll be more devoted to his quest if it does happen. She actually tries, with him stopping her at the last moment--by this point he's worked out there's ''something'' dangerous about her, but he's not sure what. She still hates herself for trying.

* Nora in ''Fanfic/WeissReacts'' constantly drops hints that she wants [[LoveInterest Ren's]] [[BabiesEverAfter babies]]. The latter is.....[[LuminscentBlush somewhat flustered]] about it.

** ''"I want you inside me."'' "Go ahead - no, I can't. Sounds like you got at least at least two people in there already. Might be a little crowded."

* Since Tali is romanceable in ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'', she has concerns about sleeping with Shepard (because her species have, basically, no immune systems). But she really would -- oh, you get it. In the end, she takes a bunch of herbal supplements, still gets a cold, and admits that it was [[WorthIt totally worth it]].

* After {{Magneto}} came to live on Utopia as the X-Men's ally, he started to express an interest in Rogue, trying to rekindle the romantic spark that had briefly flared up during their time together in the Savage Land. Rogue rebuffed all such real and imagined advances because of the many terrible things he had done to her and her friends while in world-conquering villain mode, and in ''X-Men Legacy'' #249 he himself had a change of heart and told her that becoming involved with him was a bad idea and that she should return to Gambit. It was after this that Rogue had a change of heart of her own and decided to go with her feelings for one night of passion with Magneto at any rate, noting

* In the first ''Film/{{Ghostbusters}}'', Venkman comes to visit Dana and finds she is possessed by Zuul, which makes her want to sleep with (whoever she thinks is) the Keymaster. He refuses, since she isn't in her right mind (and doubtless also because he has every reason to fear dire consequences if he does), but he's tempted.

** Not only do they have a shitty immune system, but their Amino Acids are a different kind. As Mordin puts it (though for a different pairing which has the same Amino Acid problem), "Don't ingest."

* ''GarrowsLaw'' has a mutual version of this with Garrow and Lady Sarah.

* TropeNamer is Kerry of ''Series/EightSimpleRules'', who is visited by the boy she had a fling with [[EveryoneLooksSexierIfFrench while in France]].
