1 | '''Basic Trope''': Despite having an active interest and desire for sex, a character is ultimately nothing less than chivalrous in their sexual dealings. |
2 | * '''Straight''': Bob is always ogling women, making lewd comments and flirting with Alice. However, when Alice [[AboveTheInfluence comes to him during a time of great crisis, he refuses to take advantage of her when she's in a vulnerable state]]. |
3 | * '''Exaggerated''': |
4 | ** Bob has [[TheCasanova slept with dozens (or even hundreds!) of women]] (and just as much men) in his adult life. However, every single one of his partners regard him as the absolute epitome of a gentleman and a NiceGuy. |
5 | ** Bob is a DirtyOldMan whose nearly every thought is about sex, but when Alice is being attacked he drops that and attacks her attackers, stopping her from being hurt or potentially killed. |
6 | * '''Downplayed''': Bob is certainly perverted, but [[CovertPervert manages to contain it]]. |
7 | * '''Justified''': |
8 | ** Bob has a very active sex drive, but was taught to always respect women and to treat his partners well. |
9 | ** Bob loves women and can't stand to see them hurt. He enjoys the physical relationship immensely but also needs the emotional component. |
10 | ** Bob has good people skills and is pleasant to be around, making it more likely women want to have sex with him. |
11 | * '''Inverted''': |
12 | ** Bob is TheCasanova and a CovertPervert who puts on an air of restraint to lure in prospective sexual partners, only to discard them coldly and cruelly once he's had his fun. |
13 | ** SourPrude. |
14 | * '''Subverted''': |
15 | ** Bob appears to be refusing to take advantage of Alice, but it's all an act to lure her in, and he ends up seducing or even raping her. |
16 | ** Bob has the "chivalrous" part down, but the "pervert" part is more of an annoying [[UrbanLegendLoveLife reputation]] than a real trait. |
17 | ** Bob's chivalry is an act. Once Alice wakes up, he goes into EntitledToHaveYou mode for not raping her. |
18 | * '''Doubly Subverted''': |
19 | ** Bob is very, ''very'' tempted to take advantage of Alice, and struggles with his urges, but ultimately his better nature wins out and he refuses to. |
20 | ** Of course, by "pervert" we mean "overly kinky". As for the "sex fiend" part, well that's true enough. |
21 | * '''Parodied''': |
22 | ** Bob talks the talk all the time, but whenever a woman offers herself to him he turns into a complete prude. |
23 | ** It's clear that if Bob gave up the sex-mad pervert act and just went with being a chivalrous gentleman, he'd be a lot more successful with women than he is. |
24 | ** Mens' manners are used to judge their sexual appetites. Bob, being the perfect gentleman, gets twenty proposals a day. Charlie, being a JerkAss, is lucky to get one date a year. |
25 | * '''Zig-Zagged''': |
26 | ** While Bob has a consistently active libido, whether he would rape women is largely DependingOnTheWriter. |
27 | ** Bob rejects underage Alice's advances, but the characters go back and forth about how chivalrous he is. Some argue that he he seemed a little too tempted for a man his age. |
28 | * '''Averted''': |
29 | ** Bob is a lecherous jerk who is willing to hit on and proposition women in crude and demanding ways. |
30 | ** Bob does not have a notably high sex drive but is a pretty NiceGuy. |
31 | * '''Enforced''': |
32 | ** "I'm a bit worried that Bob always leching over Alice is having a negative effect on the viewers. We'll have to write a scene that shows that he's really a gentleman underneath it all." |
33 | ** "We want to make Bob as much of a LovableSexManiac as possible. [[MrFanservice The fangirls]] [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys will love it.]]" |
34 | ** Bob is played by an actor who because of his looks suffers DracoInLeatherPants when playing a villain, so he was cast in something which allowed him to be naturally flirty and good-natured so his fans can enjoy the character as he is. |
35 | * '''Lampshaded''': "Thanks a lot for saving my ass, Bob! Especially since you won't stop staring at it..." |
36 | * '''Invoked''': Bob intentionally cultivates the impression of a sex-mad [[TheCasanova Casanova]] because he got his heart broken once and blames his NiceGuy persona; when push comes to shove, however, it's the nice guy who wins through. |
37 | * '''Exploited''': Bob is chosen to infiltrate a sex trafficking cartel because he can fit in with the pimps without succumbing to temptation. |
38 | * '''Defied''': Bob is up front with his chivalrous nature. |
39 | * '''Discussed''': "Bob might come across as a drooling, sex-mad neanderthal, but he's got HiddenDepths, Alice -- you'll see." "I don't care, he's getting sued." |
40 | * '''Conversed''': "Bob drools over every woman he sees. Why is this character suddenly being so polite to Alice?" "The reason is obvious -- the show wants to give Bob a redeeming quality so he doesn't seem ''that'' bad." |
41 | * '''Deconstructed''': |
42 | ** Alice seems to be in her time of need, and Bob refuses to take advantage of her, but this is a BatmanGambit by Alice, and she takes advantage of him. |
43 | ** In spite of his otherwise upstanding morals, Bob's sexual jokes still ruin his chances because they're towards women who don't want to hear them or made in inappropriate situations. |
44 | ** Bob gets accused of sexual harassment in the workplace due to his lewd comments. |
45 | ** Bob comes off as [[WantsAPrizeForBasicDecency wanting a prize for basic decency]] because even though he won't take advantage of vulnerable women, he's still a sleazy boor who makes women feel uncomfortable. |
46 | * '''Reconstructed''': |
47 | ** However, this turns out to be for a good cause. The BigBad wants Alice for himself, but he only wants her as a [[NatureAdoresAVirgin virgin]]. This saves her from the Big Bad and all is well. |
48 | ** Bob finds women who also enjoy making sexual jokes, and/or learns the appropriate time and place for the jokes. |
49 | ** Bob learns the importance of respecting women's boundaries, being attentive to their needs and desires, and showing genuine interest who they are. |
50 | * '''Played for Drama''': Bob wants to be a good person, but he struggles with hypersexuality that erodes his restraint. |
51 | * '''Played for Laughs''': Bob tries to be this but turns into a nosey prude due to his efforts. |
52 | * '''Implied''': Bob is known to be a pervert. However, he is notably absent from the people who defend Charlie after he sexually harasses a woman. |
