*** The episode 'Stuff' highlights some of the weak points in Barney's game; although he is shown on-screen with a great success rate in picking girls up, it apparently falls apart fairly often on the way back to his or her place. Barney's solution? Turn a moving truck into a one-room bachelor pad in the alley behind the bar.

Should be noted that When used as a defined in-universe power, this (hopefully) is not a subtrope of {{Whatevermancy}}.{{Whatevermancy}}, but doesn't have to be. When it's just implied because the writers want a character to have improbable fornication skills, it is not.

* IrresponsibleCaptainTylor has Tylor himself. After saving the ship as he always does by just being his [[BornLucky blissfully ignorant and incompetent self]], the other crew members give him a porno tape and wanted him to enjoy it for himself, but threatened him if they didn't get it back. Blissfully unaware that there is an alien princess hiding behind his bed (who honestly doesn't know anything about human relationships), Tylor puts in the tape, but keeps fumbling to turn it off as ''EVERY FEMALE ON THE SHIP'' comes to his door to express their sexual desires for him.

He has slept with Mia (the 16 year old daughter of the man he took his wife back from), his teachers assistant, a stripper/student in his writing class, the wife of the dean of the school he's working at, Karen, and about a half-dozen random sexual encounters.

* ''UnknownArmies'' has a whole school of magic called Pornomancy, based on the rites of the Naked Goddess, a porn star who [[AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence ascended to the Invisible Clergy]] by fulfilling the archetype of The Girl Who Everyone Wants But Can't Have. Pornomancers accumulate charges for their magic through ritual sex, recreating the roles the Naked Goddess played in her films, and can use these charges to do pretty much anything on this page. Beware though, this is ''Unknown Armies'' and every school of magic restricts its practitioners; if a Pornomancer has sex for love, enjoyment, or any purpose other than ritual, all of their magic is negated.

** The [[DarkMessiah Abyssal]] equivalent, Irresistible Succubus Style, [[EvenTheGuysWantHim removes gender requirements for seduction use]].
** On a related note, [[RidiculouslyHumanRobot Alchemical Exalted]] can get the Thousand-Fold Courtesan Calculations. which lets them have sex that is so good ''it can be used as a form of mind control.'' Of course, the sex has to be consensual for the mind-control effect to work, but it's doubtful that anyone with the charm is going to have that problem.

A Season 2 episode starts with him effortlessly picking up a waitress despite being slovenly drunk and nursing a wounded hand from an earlier car crash. Then of course there was the incident with the two prostitutes during a sting, something [[{{NeverLiveItDown}} that other BPD Officers would joke about well into the show's final season.]]

*** Given how ''Casino Royale'' is Bond's origin story, it's more accurate to say his callous womanizing [[StartOfDarkness stems from]] their destructive relationship. Few people realize his signature [[DrinkOrder vodka martini]] is actually symbolic: Bond names it after Vesper and then [[TragicKeepsake continues drinking it]] long after [[DeadLittleSister she's dead]].

Does sex just happen as naturally as breathing around you? When alone with a woman, is the next shot always of [[DressHitsFloor her dress hitting the floor]]? Did an [[SexyManInstantHarem instant harem]] appear at your house? Perhaps you have a CompellingVoice, and take to its [[PowerPerversionPotential logical conclusion]]. You almost certainly make ''wakka-chikka-bam-bam'' music on the soundtrack when you walk down the street. People will look.

You, my friend, are ThePornomancer. In pornographic movies, the characters usually don't ''earn'' their sexual conquests so much as ''receive'' them from some greater power... whether that power is in-universe magic or simply a godlike, but lazy, writer or director (or both). There wouldn't be much of a porn movie if the characters didn't have sex, and nobody involved, including most of the audience, cares whether the seduction would be plausible in the real world. So it isn't. Thus, in the grand tradition of [[AWizardDidIt wizards who are helpful to lazy writers]], this field of study is known as "pornomancy."
