-->''yea, four which I know not:''
-->''The way of an eagle in the air;''
-->''the way of a serpent upon a rock;''
-->''the way of a ship in the midst of the sea;''

* Much more than any other RPG by [=BioWare=], ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'' deals with sex almost constantly. The biologist Mordin, despite his race allegedly having no sex drive, is interested in the topic academically and thus has lots of (hilarious) comments about the crew's sex life and numerous pieces of good or at least well-meant advice for Shepard should they pursue a relationship with a non-human crewmember. Then there's also a [[BlueSkinnedSpaceBabe blue-skinned space]] vampire who drains her victims' life energy by having sex with them.

Bisexuals, when they [[NoBisexuals appear in fiction at all]], tend to get [[ButNotTooBi shoehorned]] into this trope because writers still aren't sure how to use them. The same is true for homosexuals, although some progress has been made in portraying them with more diverse personalities.

personalities. Asexuality is highly misunderstood; many writers only see the absence of what they deem Interesting, and not the impact that absence can have in a highly sexual society.

* This is why Jughead from ''Series/{{Riverdale}}'' was written to be more sexual. In most continuities Jughead was a CelibateHero long before being made canonically asexual in the reboot comics. ''Riverdale'' was envisioned as HotterAndSexier in all respects, so Jughead was given a sexual relationship with Betty. This angered the ace community who felt that Jughead being ace could have still worked, but the writers have repeatedly defended this choice.

* Steven Moffat, showrunner over a HotterAndSexier era of ''Series/DoctorWho'', has stated multiple times that the reason he doesn't write the Doctor with the NoHuggingNoKissing asexuality of the Classic series is that it is boring. According to him, a non-sexual Doctor is denying the Doctor the opportunity to "live a full life" or be a RoundedCharacter. A lot of real-life {{Asexual}}s, who can be quite interesting without having any desire to kiss people, [[UnfortunateImplications were very offended by this]], though Moffat was probably talking from the perspective of this trope rather than trying to pass judgement on anyone real. The trope also has a lot of AuthorAppeal for him, as he became big writing SexComedy. However, the Twelfth Doctor's run initially saw a return to NoHuggingNoKissing, until this was eventually dropped as his romance with Clara Oswald reignited (though it was depicted in a very subtle fashion).

* In ''The Family Party'' by Creator/AGnosis, a comic about Greek gods, Hades states that "SexIsBoring", which baffles the other gods, most of all Zeus, who cannot wrap his mind around that idea, and promptly suggests that they need to go ask Aphrodite whether Hades has some weird fetish.

Sex Is Boring isn't a trope


Contrast with SexIsBoring and NoHuggingNoKissing. Not to be confused with EverybodyHasLotsOfSex, which is just an assumed part of the background as opposed to a deliberate focus. Often overlaps with SexIsGood. This trope ''can'' be used without {{Fanservice}}, but it's hard to imagine why anyone would do such a thing.

* ''Webcomic/TalesToBehold'' sometimes dips into this well whenever Beholder needs filler material. This was taken to extremes in "Battle in Crisis", where most of the regular cast is forced to shelter in place because of the Covid-19 epidemic, and thus they all decide to get naked and have as much sex as possible.

* ''Film/PineappleExpress'' has this trope in the Director's Cut, but only to mock it. When Dale expresses disbelief that Amber is really as mature and complex a person as he thought she was, the high-school age Amber angrily insists that of course she's mature, much moreso than Dale, since she's had sex with seventeen different guys.

* In the ''Roleplay/GlobalGuardiansPBEMUniverse'', [[FlyingBrick Vindicator's]] characterization and story was centered around her status as a Token Lesbian Superhero. It got tiring after a while, and then got Squicky when it was revealed that the player was a sock puppet for a creepy internet guy just looking to have his jollies by being creepy.

* Angela from ''Series/{{Bones}}'' is this trope at times, especially with her relationship with Roxy and her later decision to be temporarily celibate are introduced. She's able to avoid many of the pitfalls of this trope because she's an EthicalSlut who embraces an alternative lifestyle as opposed to just being into sex for the heck of it.

* ''Webcomic/MenageA3'' and its spinoffs, ''Webcomic/StickyDillyBuns'' and ''Webcomic/SandraOnTheRocks'', are {{Sex Comed|y}}ies in which EverybodyHasLotsOfSex — but they are also character-based lightweight dramas in which the characters’ rather obsessive pursuit of sexual satisfaction drives many or most of the plots.
