2
3	* LesYay:
4	** Alex kisses Tara in the first episode after they've been drinking, much to Tara's annoyance.
5	** Alex essentially molests the injured pole dancer in episode 3.
6	%%* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: From episode 8, crossing over into {{Squick}}:
7	%%-->'''Frank:''' WE WILL NOT HAVE SEX! [[spoiler:(takes hammer to genitals)]]
8	* JerkassWoobie: [[spoiler:Frank is a married middle-aged man who soons reveals himself to be a DirtyOldMan, and gets Erin pregnant in an extremely creepy scene, but he's just as trapped in this hellhole as the rest of the suckers in the place, and he's incredibly regretful for what he did.]]
9	* NightmareFuel: [[spoiler:What initially seems like a lighthearted parody of vapid reality television rapidly switches into a nightmarish hellhole, as the crew loses all outside support, the house is gradually consumed by a horrific mold, and they begin starving to death. The chilling scene in Episode 9 of them refusing to reenter society, instead opting to remain in their twisted home reinforces this.]]
10	** [[spoiler:The finale is subtler, but not any less disturbing in its implications. Derik forcibly brainwashes himself into being straight, despite still obviously having a crush on Coolio, and the group seem completely like autonomous robots with no higher aspirations or motivations, a far-cry from what they used to be.]]
11	* NoYay: In episode 2, Frank kisses the unsuspecting Derek while they're playing Sexy Truth or Sexy Dare.
12	-->'''Derek:''' [[DeadpanSnarker That was definitely a low point.]]
13	%%* {{Squick}}:
14	%%** Frank. Just... ''[[DirtyOldMan Frank]]''.
15	%%** [[spoiler:Erin is pregnant with Frank's child. Frank is a married man with two daughters who are ''Erin's'' age.]]
16	%%** That ''[[NightmareFuel mold]]''...
17	%%** The Sex House itself gets pretty disgusting.
18	%%** The Banana Sex Olympics in episode 5, especially the regurgitated bananas.
19	* TearJerker: At the very end of the last episode, when [[spoiler:Tara finally resolves to eat her frogs]].
20	** You have to really watch the reunion episode carefully to understand how tragic it is. It's true that [[spoiler:all of the cast (even Derek, who looked like he was on Death's doorstep) was able to survive and seemingly recover from the UsefulNotes/StockholmSyndrome they all underwent by Episode 9]], but at what cost? [[spoiler:All of the CharacterDevelopment Jay and Tara went through seems undone, Frank divorced his wife, Alex is a broken shell who is in love with one of her former jailers (while also showing signs of being subconsciously terrified of him at the same time), Erin seems to have become harsher, Derek's orientation was "cured," and above everything, they seem to have been warped into being the generic reality show cast people wanted to see. [[{{StepfordSmiler}} Behind the seemed relaxedness and the smiles and "blogging careers," there's really nothing at all]].]]
21	* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: In the reunion episode, [[spoiler:the RunningGag of the cast members all being popular bloggers seems rather outdated; nowadays, they would more likely be aspiring Instagram influencers or [=TikTok=] stars.]]
22	* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotPolitical: Radical socialist news site Jacobin once published an article about how [[https://www.jacobinmag.com/2012/10/sex-house-and-the-refusal-to-fuck/ Sex House is a commentary on capitalism and class conflict]].
23	* TheWoobie:
24	** The housemates are ''all'' Woobies [[BreakTheCutie eventually]], by the [[BlackComedy very]] [[SadistShow nature]] of the thing.
