History Main / QuestForSex

* Largely the premise of ''VideoGame/HunniePop'', once Kyu gives the player a nudge in the right direction.

* Samantha from ''SexAndTheCity'' has this quest as her main character trait, and shows no signs of giving it up: She's the oldest character in the main cast.

-->--'''Creator/CSLewis''', '''''The Four Loves'''''

* ''VisualNovel/GreenGreen'' features the Baka Trio, Yuusuke's three best friends, who are so depraved for sex that it is the only thing they can think about, and they will stop at almost nothing to actually get it. Most of the anime features them constantly doing perverted schemes. They ''always'' go wrong. At least Tadatomo can claim he succeeded: '''[[BlackComedyRape He got raped by a bear.]]''' Hikaru ''could'' have scored with one of the girls, but this girl happens to be Haruno Arisa, who is suppose to be the repulsively ugly one among all the girls [[InformedDeformity (even though she looks fairly normal compared to everyone else)]]. She ''wanted'' to have sex with ''any'' of them too. [[ArentYouGoingToRavishMe She didn't care what they did to her.]]

* Hilariously, [[WebVideo/Vinesauce Joel's]] childhood cat Minus went missing for two years. He returned home twice as fat and ''every female cat in town'' pregnant. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ws2s0eSWANg#t=233 See to believe.]]

* ''Film/AmericanPie'' is pretty much the embodiment of this trope, as are most of the movies related to it.

* In the movie ''Film/FortyEightHours'', Reggie goes out of his way to get some. It's not the main plot, but a subplot.
** Justified in that he was in prison, and is going ''back'' at the end.

* ''Film/TheFortyYearOldVirgin''.

* ''Film/EyesWideShut'' provides a rather dark version of this.

* ''Where The Boys Are '84'' is a RareFemaleExample of this.

* In ''Series/TheKidsInTheHall'', a recurring character simply (and [[GenderBender more or less]] [[PettingZooPeople accurately]]) called the Chicken Lady wants nothing more than to have sex. However, since the vast majority of the available dating pool is human, [[HilarityEnsues things tend to go spectacularly badly]].
** They also have the character with the accurate name of Cabbage Head, who has similar goals. He fails because he's a sexist jerk that most women can't stand.

* This is the premise of the ''VideoGame/LeisureSuitLarry'' series: in the first, Larry, rapidly approaching 40, decides to finally lose his virginity and sets out to [[UsefulNotes/LasVegas Lost Wages]], determined to have sex with a woman by the end of the night.
** This doesn't bear out under closer inspection. Larry may keep telling himself that he's a swingin' single, but he ends each of the first three games committed to (what he considers) true love. There's even a whore in the first game, and if Larry uses her, he says outright that it's not enough (though it does remove the time limit).
** The second game is even subtitled "Looking For Love in Several Wrong Places."
* The main point of {{dating sim}}s.

* There are several episodes of ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButthead'' where the titular characters come up with plans to get laid. Said plans always fail.

The reasons for a man's quest can vary to a fairly wide extent--he might just be out to use SexAsRiteOfPassage since AManIsNotAVirgin. Other times the man isn't a virgin--he just really, really wants it very badly. Sometimes to the point of needing to commit [[GoodAdulteryBadAdultery adultery]] in order to get it. Because, let's face it--[[ImAManICantHelpIt he's a dude]]. What's he supposed to do about it?

* ''AmericanPie'' is pretty much the embodiment of this trope, as are most of the movies related to it.

* ''SexDrive'' is about a man who steals his brother's car and drives across the country to have sex with a woman he met online.

* ''DivorceItalianStyle'' features this as an UnbuiltTrope, as is to be expected since it predates current usage by several decades. The usage here as a result tends to be a lot more macabre and disturbing, as the main character in pursuit of his goal [[spoiler:to have sex with his 15-year-old cousin, devises a highly elaborate plan to manipulate his wife into having an affair so he can legally have her murdered, and then marry said cousin. Said plan includes knowingly destroying his entire family's moral reputation, and at one point (accidentally) killing his uncle]].

* In ''KidsInTheHall'', a recurring character simply (and [[GenderBender more or less]] [[PettingZooPeople accurately]]) called the Chicken Lady wants nothing more than to have sex. However, since the vast majority of the available dating pool is human, [[HilarityEnsues things tend to go spectacularly badly]].

* The main plot of ''BGataHKei''... although the one on the quest [[GenderFlip is a girl]]. Her explicit goal is to gain one hundred sex friends before graduating highschool. Now, she's a beautiful girl, so this ''should'' have taken all of ten seconds. But she has [[CannotSpitItOut no ability to communicate her desires]], actually doesn't know very much at all about sex, as well as surprisingly low self-esteem (She's embarrassed to even look at her own body down there), so hilarious misadventures happen instead of {{hentai}}.

* This is the premise of the ''VideoGame/LeisureSuitLarry'' series: in the first, Larry, rapidly approaching 40, decides to finally lose his virginity and sets out to [[VivaLasVegas Lost Wages]], determined to have sex with a woman by the end of the night.

* In ''TheSureThing'' Gib drives across the country to meet the titular "Sure Thing", a woman who is guaranteed to sleep with him.

* ''{{Porkys}}'' and the multiple movies spawned by its success use this as the main thrust (so to speak) of the plot. The same can be said of ''AmericanPie'' from a decade later.
* In the movie ''FortyEightHours'', Reggie goes out of his way to get some. It's not the main plot, but a subplot.

* ''{{Superbad}}'' uses {{Deconstruction}} to take on this premise.

* ''EyesWideShut'' provides a rather dark version of this.

* In ''Literature/TheGame'', ([[TookALevelInBadass formally]]) socially awkward music journalist Neil Strauss does research on the Pick-up Artist Community, meeting several other socially awkward types on this quest. They all end up having copious amounts of sex, but [[AnAesop it ultimately solves nothing because they still have deeper problems to contend with]].

* Sex tourism runs on this trope. Men will spend thousands of dollars and fly around the world to locations where prostitution is legal.

This plot trope has been common in recent years as laxity from the MoralGuardians has made sex comedies centered on this premise easier to distribute. Still, expect many examples to eventually feature an {{Aesop}} about sex not being everything at the end, if only because building a character's entire motivation around getting laid often ends up seeming, kind of, you know, [[FlatCharacter shallow]], and [[ThisLoserIsYou pathetic]].
