** In this series, this is true of ''almost all women'' (the only known exceptions are Giuda's cousin, who is [[{{Gonk}} so ugly nobody can look at her]], and Dulcistella, who is just a nice girl). Even Ciurga ([[{{Gonk}} who is so ugly she was once mistaken for a toilet (Italian slang for extremely ugly woman) and a]] ''[[Franchise/{{Alien}} Xenomorph]]'') managed to find a few men to sleep with. This is played for drama ([[WidgetSeries as much as that series could have drama]]): by trying to gift Bedelia with a magical carillon that would curse him if given to a woman that didn't love him, Aldo became a monster, with the only ways to break the curse being either find a woman who could love him anyway or spill the blood of a virgin... And when he tried to kill a virgin, ''he couldn't find one''. Except for Giuda's cousin, [[ShaggyDogStory who proceeded to lose both their virginities when he tried to kill her]].

* Italian graphic novel ''Venerdì 12'' (from the same author as ''Rat-Man'' above) provides what may well be the ultimate example with Bedelia, a shallow woman who has slept with so many men (and at least one girl) that she has to ''call them by the number they have tattooed inside the thigh''. The highest known number is 322. She also went with the protagonist Aldo because she had ''bet she could do all guys in her high school in five years'' (by the way, she lost: Aldo was in love with her and incredibly shy, and when she finally tried he locked himself in the toilet. [[JerkassHasAPoint She dumped him for that]]). And then, the sequel ''Bedelia'' shows that not only she ''literally'' had sex with half the men in town and was aiming at everyone but Aldo, she even had sex with a horse and ''her own guardian angel, '''repeatedly''''' (leading to him being replaced with one who isn't into women). And then, [[spoiler:after dying her ghost ends up having sex with Aldo's son]].

** Surprisingly {{Averted}} with Cinzia, the (male-to-female) transgender hooker: while she's a raging pervert and has slept with ''many'' men including much of the police department (giving her a lot of ammo when [[{{Hypocrite}} the cops started mocking her for being trans]]), the ones she slept with were exclusively for the job, and outside it she only tried to sleep with Rat-Man, with whom she's been openly in love for most of the comic, and later Brakko, and was willing to leave her job if she ever managed to get with either of them.

The sequel casts Bedelia in a more sympathetic light than most, however, as it shows [[JerkassWoobie she's so lonely she pays people to be her friends, cannot realize one of her friends isn't in for the money, and has a horrible relationship with her mother, and is trying to fill the void in her heart somehow]].

* Orlando, from ''ComicBook/TheLeagueOfExtraordinaryGentlemen''. Being a chronic sexual-shifter with hundreds of years under his belt helps it. He's a violent and sexual being. As the comics themselves say, "Orlando has slept with absolutely everyone, and those he hasn't slept with he has waged terrible war against."
* Louisa Dem Five in ''ComicBook/BuckGodotZapGunForHire''. Not surprising given that she's a HookerWithAHeartOfGold, but even off-duty she's quite active.
* Regarding a minor PosthumousCharacter in ''ComicBook/{{Transmetropolitan}}'':
-->"'The last stand of Thierry Nguyen, Demon Whoremonger of Rangoon and pleasurer of over seven thousand women. And [[DepravedBisexual six hundred thirty two men]]. [[AnythingThatMoves And eighty five zoological specimens, and twenty-some things we're not sure about.]] Died laughing on this spot of explosive scrotal failure while [[OutWithABang simultaneously making love to eighteen porn starlets]], all of whom later committed suicide in grief.' I'll always miss your columns, Thierry."
* The entire premise behind one Jerry Siegel's most obscure creations--''[[http://pdsh.wikia.com/wiki/Jon_Juan Jon Juan,]] [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Super Lover]]''.
* ComicBook/{{Artesia}} has sex with no fewer than nine different men on-panel, several of them simultaneously. Nobody seems surprised by this, at least in her native Highlands where it's accepted. In the Middle Kingdoms, where the sexually-repressed Divine King religion holds sway, not so much.
* In ''ComicBook/{{Persepolis}}'', Marjane's friend, Julie, mentions that she had sex with 18 boys (and later has sex with another one). Marjane fled from Khomeini's Iran and doesn't like his "everything in the west is decadent" ideology, [[NotSoDifferent but now finds herself shocked too.]]
** Marjane herself is seen as this by her friends upon returning to Iran because she's been with more than one man.
* The title character of ''Comicbook/NikolaiDante'' has an entirely deserved reputation for this, not that any of the women mind. He (mostly) stops after officially getting together with Jena.
* PlayedForDrama (mostly) with Queen Maeve, a ComicBook/WonderWoman CaptainErsatz in ''ComicBook/TheBoys''. After her team failed to stop 9/11 she became a BrokenBird who tries to [[EmptyShell fill the void inside of her]] with [[TheHedonist gallons of alcohol and hundreds of men]]. She's had a good amount of illegitimate children and abortions over the years, and as M.M. puts it she "uses guys [like Hughie] like tampons".
** This trope applies to the superhero community as a whole, as the vast majority of them [[VillainWithGoodPublicity abuse their fame and power]] and become sexual deviants to the point where they hold an annual drug-fueled orgy called "Herogasm". And unlike Maeve, [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil not all of them bother looking for consent]].
* ''ComicBook/DeKiekeboes'': Fanny, the 18-year-old daughter of the family. She has had countless boyfriends over the course of the series. It is lampshaded by herself that she has to dump them at the end of each story to make room for the next one in the next story. Only one guy, Jens, stayed with her for longer than one album, but eventually even that story arc got axed. Creator Merho said: "My readers couldn't decide whether he should have stayed with her or not, so whatever I did I would've created a FlameWar." In a bit of a [[SubvertedTrope subversion,]] however, it is implied on several occasions that she actually doesn't sleep around a lot, but simply has a lot of dates.

* ''Creator/ArchieComics'':
** Archie from ''ComicBook/ArchieComics'' is this DependingOnTheWriter, though, according to a 1970s issue, he's actually celibate despite all his success with the ladies. On top of his love triangle involving [[BettyAndVeronica Betty, Veronica]], and [[ThirdOptionLoveInterest sometimes Cheryl]], he's had numerous other love interests. There are also numerous off-hand jokes about him and girls, including how he has dozens of girl's phone numbers.
** Melody from ''ComicBook/JosieAndThePussycats'' has always been a DudeMagnet. The [[ComicBook/ArchieComics2015 the reboot]] expands this by implying she is this way when it comes to [[AmbiguouslyBi both men and women]].
* ComicBook/LoriLovecraft enjoys a very active sex life. The narration in ''Into the Past'' even {{Lampshades}} the number of ex-boyfriends she has.
