Memetic Sex God
The hero of horny 12-year-olds everywhere.

"It's the power of David Bowie's Area that, even through a recording, even in a family friendly movie, it can reach out and completely burn your virginity from the fabric of space and time."
Sarrolyne on the power of David Bowie's Area, Metaquotes

The less Squick-inducing cousin to the Memetic Molester, this is a character who, in fandom's eyes, can instantly get laid by giving anyone a look and a suggestive wiggle of the eyebrows. This character may be a Casanova, a Chivalrous Pervert, a Femme Fatale, a Casanova Wannabe or a Kavorka Man (or maybe even a Chaste Hero) in-canon, but in the wilds of fandom, the character's The Pornomancer.

The distinction between this and Memetic Molester is that while the Memetic Molester will lay anyone whether they want it or not, this is the character to whom everyone, no exceptions, willingly submits.

    Anime & Manga 

    Comics 
  • Storm of the X-Men is considered this among some circles. Man, Woman, Alien, if it has a pulse (and occasionally not even that) people are hot for her and the attentions are oft returned.
    • Wizard once published... uhhm... let's call it a "frak-chart" that showed the reach of Stark's penis (going with the theory that if you sleep with someone you've basically slept with everyone they've ever slept with). It went up to Galactus. Here's the link. According to the chart, Stark has had 9 sexual partners, only 2 of which have connections to all those other characters (including Galactus). Seems like we should really be impressed with Black Widow and Wasp here. After the Marvel/Disney merger, jokes abounded that Stark would have his way with each and every one of the princesses.
  • Let's not forget The Goddamn Batman. His main strategy when approaching a female foe is to seduce the shit out of them.
    • That's pretty much Catwoman's usual MO too. Which makes the scenes between the two of them all the better, because they both obviously are attracted to the other, but is trying very very hard not to admit it.
      • And now with Batman Incorporated, they're not even trying any more.
  • Brandy from Frank Cho's Liberty Meadows. Seeing her stretch is tantamout to having sex, you'll want a cigarette afterwards.
  • Nikolai Dante is certainly this. He was partly based on Errol Flynn after all.

    Fan Works 
  • Duke Devlin in Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series. Almost every single line of dialogue involing Duke, regardless of if it is about him or if he's the one speaking, is a sex joke. And every time he talks "Sexy Back" plays. EVERY time. And in his first episode, we were treated to this voiceover:
    Male Voice: Warning: This episode contains copious amounts of Duke Devlin. Women with heart conditions are advised not to look directly at Duke Devlin. This also applies to women without heart conditions. He's very pretty. See! See how pretty he is? He's very pretty. I'd like to run my fingers through his hair. And I'm just a voice.
    • And later in the same episode:
    Tea: Have you heard about that new student? They say he's the sexiest thing since sex."
    • As of episode 51, Duke now has a single line of dialogue that doesn't have his theme music. It's still a sex joke.
  • Fans of the Metal Gear Solid 3 fan webcomic The Cobra Days has turned the creator's version of The Fear like a memetic sex god. Even the creator of the series drew herself multiple times molesting him. Oddly, Fear in her comic is a Depraved Bisexual, and other characters react to him as if he were disgusting.
  • In this Death Note fanfic, Light, but, surprisingly, L is even more so.
  • Naruto, how many people has he been paired off with?
  • Shirou is an in-universe example in The Hill Of Swords. Later used for political advantage: "This is what happens when you start rumors about someone being some kind of sex god: people try to pray to them."

    Films — Animation 
  • You can't have a trope like this without mentioning Jessica Rabbit, who's not bad but just drawn that way.
  • Beauty and the Beast: Everyone wants to get with Gaston. Except for Belle.
  • Jack Skellington. Everyone, but EVERYONE would turn necrophiliac for him.
    • Well, come on. He does have a pretty snappy tux.
      • All hail the Pumpkin Pimp.

    Films — Live Action 

    Literature 
  • Depending on which corners of the Harry Potter fandom you trip across, Snape, pimp king.
    • Or Draco Malfoy, Slytherin Sex God. Particularly when he wears leather pants.
    • And don't forget about Sirius Black, who fandom has an annoying habit of turning into Casanova With A Wand.
  • Warrior Cats: Not fandom-wide, but among his fans Hawkfrost is definitely a Memetic Sex God.
  • Pride and Prejudice: Mr Darcy. OOH MISTER DARCY
  • The name's Bond. James Bond. It's canonical.
    • It's often been said of him that every man wants to be him, and every woman wants to be with him. Memetic Sex Godhood was pretty much inevitable for him.
  • Women are powerless against Conan the Barbarian's sheer animal magnetism.
  • The Star Wars Expanded Universe features this regularly: In addition to the Big Three and Lando, there's Jacen Solo (Just look at the cover for Destiny's Way!) and Jaina Solo (for the threesome subtext in Denning's work). Corran Horn can be one, but it has all the markings of a Forced Meme. Oddly enough, the latest one, Ben Skywalker, canonically hasn't had sex with anyone yet (although he's been flirted with plenty, and in Ascension, he gets his First Kiss).
  • Watson has earned the occasional Fan Nickname 'the scourge of three continents', due to lines from said narrator about having ... experience... of women from, well, three continents. Plus extreme vagueness and inconsistencies on Arthur Conan Doyle's part manage to imply that Watson has three separate marriages over the course of the stories.
  • Finnick Odair is an in-universe example.
  • I hear Harry Dresden is so hot, he melted Arctis Tor.
    • Everyone asks Carlos what it was like to ride Dresden's dinosaur.
      • Carlos being a virgin cracks Harry up. Lara nearly takes Carlos on the spot.
    • They say that everyone wants Lara Raith. Lara Raith wants Harry Dresden.
      • This one isn't even memetic, it actually is true.
      • Harry once used a kiss from Lara to fuel his magic.
    • The Summer Lady dresses up in leather for Harry Dresden, and the Winter Lady dresses in lace.
      • The last summer lady did everything she could to keep Dresden's head in her lap.
    • I hear Marva got a tan to appeal to Dresden.
    • I hear his smile makes Tera West want to have kittens.
    • The Denarians had him all tied up. And wet.
    • Molly, the daughter of the Fist of God and Harry's apprentice has hots for him. Everyone notices except him.
    • Harry had someone living in his head who could look like anyone or anything. She pointed that out. With a cheshire-cat grin.
    • Harry has half of the fairy queens trying to get in his pants. No, literally, the immortal kind.
    • Harry had sex with Mab. Full stop.
    • Thomas Raith. Period. Full Stop. Over and out. All White Court vampires of house Raith are this. The most commonly-seen example being Thomas Raith, Harry's brother,, followed by Lara Raith. Harry and Thomas hang out a lot.
      • Harry met Lara on the set of a pornographic film. She was acting.
      • Thomas was fired from practically every business in Chicago because women kept throwing themselves on him, getting him fired.
      • Sadly, most of this is purely Memetic Mutation. Harry's a nerd, only had two solid girlfriends in his life ( Luccio doesn't count), and turns down more supernaturally-hot girls on a regular basis than most of the other examples here get.
  • Twilight: While not really all that attractive, tough, or romantic, Edward Cullen and Jacob Black are both lusted after by both teenage girls, and their middle-aged mothers.

    Live Action TV 
  • In Firefly, everyone besides for Shepard Book (as far as I know) has been shipped with River. Rayne, Malver, Raylee, Crazy Space Incest (AKA Simon/River), and those are just the ones with Portmanteau Couple Names. We just haven't though the rest of the names up. This is mainly because you can see UST between her and all of them.
  • The Doctor of Doctor Who is a part canonical, part Mutation example. Nearly every single one of his numerous companions can be said to have been in love with him with little creative interpretation, not to mention recurring characters (the Master, especially), one-time characters and even people met or mentioned in passing. In fandom this ranges from being an intensely charming and charismatic person that attracts everyone whether intentionally or not, to a Casanova surpassing even Jack who seeks to shag everyone in time and space at least once.
    • This is more a facet of the new series than it ever was of the old one. While some companions from the older series might be seen in that light (Romana being the most obvious), most incline far more towards seeing him as a surrogate father figure sort of character (and some, like Peri, literally had their backstories written with that in mind). Trying to cast some of the younger companions (like Vicki, Victoria, Zoe, or Ace) in a more romantic vein actually borders on extreme Squick.
    • The fact that his Gallifreyan regenerations only cause there to be neverending new facets to his personalit[ies] only adds to the effect. One can only imagine what kind of distaff counterpart situations will arise once/assuming his daughter starts her own regenerations.
  • Jack Harkness is probably the reason why Everyone is Bi in Torchwood. (Well, the women don't need to be bi to want him, but they are anyway. He's walking aphrodisiac.)
    • Regarding that parenthetical remark:
    "Contraceptives in the rain; God I love this planet. Still, at least I won't get pregnant. Never doing that again."
  • Spencer Shay on iCarly. The amount of women he's hooked up with is in the low to mid 20's. From a kid's show with about 60 odd episodes where he's not even one of the power trio main characters.
  • Dean Winchester of Supernatural has demons whispering in his ear that he's "just edible," human women helping him escape prison just because he bats his pretty lashes, and angels... Well, the man has cut himself a slice of angel food cake. Is it any surprise that fandom tells Chuck Norris jokes about him - "Dean Winchester once visited the Virgin Islands. Now they're just the Islands." - and regards him as the Launcher of a Thousand Ships?
  • Ace Rimmer of Red Dwarf... What a Guy! He's also one in universe.
  • Brazilian soap opera actor José Mayer. "Zé Mayer Facts" about his superhuman sexual prowess became popular, specially on Twitter:
    Rock stars often autograph fans' breasts. Jose Mayer autograph uteruses.
    Seven days after José Mayer watched The Ring, he got a phone call. It was Samara, saying she was pregnant.
    José Mayer gave a bailout to all the world's sperm banks.
    José Mayer is the reason DNA tests are only 98% accurate.
  • Stand and salute for Joan from Mad Men! Christina Hendricks and Matthew Weiner have acknowledged this, particularly when discussing the scene where Joan's roommate confesses her love for her. According to them, if fan reactions to Joan's hotness are anything to go by, that probably wasn't the first time a woman has hit on Joan. Also, let's not forget the most important tip in Don Draper's Guide to Picking Up Women: "Basically, be Don Draper."
    Straight from Mad Men there's Joan
    Ah, the curves she has shown
    It would make a blind man say 'damn,'
    She could turn a gay straight—
    Oh wait, never mind, there's Jon Hamm!
  • Magnum, P.I. Tom Selleck in his full prime driving a ferrari around Hawaii with the Bad Ass Mustache
  • Agent Derek Morgan from Criminal Minds.
  • Chuck Bass of Gossip Girl is one of these; a major plot point in Season 3 revolves around his ability to pick up anyone, male or female in five minutes or less.
  • DCI Gene Hunt of Life on Mars/Ashes to Ashes fame. Macho, sexist and not averse to kicking in a nonce or three; when he tells you to "Get in the Quattro!", you get in the Quattro. If anyone else pulled that level of misogyny and political incorrectness, they'd be instantly lynched, but not the Guv. And as long as he 'stays out of Camberwick Green' he can get away with anything because he is DCI Gene Hunt; Sexiest Man Ever. Fact.
  • Hikaru/Magi Shine can seduce your Love Interest away from you, while you're standing right there, just by smiling at her.
  • Alex Krycek. I challenge you to find a fanfic in which Krycek appears and doesn't end up in bed (or against a wall) with someone.
    • Someone or several someones, if the proportion of Krycek/Mulder/Scully fics is any indication.
  • Eliot Spencer from Leverage has slept with a woman from every profession known to man and absorbed all their knowledge through osmosis.
  • Dr Helen Magnus could flash that famous Amanda Tapping smile at a stick, and a contingent of fans would immediately start shipping Helen/Stick. Besides, throw ten darts into the regular and recurring cast of Sanctuary, and nine of them will strike a character who has canonically lusted after Magnus at some point. Of course, at least four of them would have hit Nikola Tesla, but even so...
  • Sherlock gives us John "Three Continents" Watson, who seems to be a memetic sex god in-universe, as well as out.
  • Mention to many British men that Susanna Reid is presenting BBC Breakfast this morning and watch them start to pay very close attention.

    Music 
  • Josh Groban, as explained by Phil Jupitus in this excerpt from Never Mind The Buzzcocks:
    Some artits are cool and make people feel rock'n'roll, and some artists make ladies ovulate. [Josh flashes his trademark look at the camera] He just reversed my vasectomy, ladies and gentlemen.
  • Doctor Dick
    I'm your doc, doc, d-d-doctor Dick! And I'm gonna heal you with my fay-bul-ous stick!
  • One word: Gackt. Not only do his appearances on TV create a boost in ratings amongst female viewers, he has also been voted Japan's sexiest man, best looking in a suit, best looking in a kimono, best looking in a tuxedo and best looking as a samurai.
    • And was also voted by Japan as having the 4th most-desired skin. Pretty good for a guy who is pushing 40 and has slight acne scars from when he was a teen.
    • It's not just in Japan, of course, as nearly any female (and quite a few of the males) who know of him will gladly tell you.

    Myths & Religion 
  • Older Than Feudalism: Apollo really, really gets around. A lot. So do most male Greek gods, although few are as pretty as Apollo.
    • Likewise, everyone gets around with Zeus, whether they want to or not.
    • Venus/Aphrodite, surprisingly, is more into causing other people to fall in love/lust.
    • Heracles. All of the above (in the Greek myths) are actual god(des)s, where as he fit this trope even in mortal life. Sure he ascended to deity status after death (not to mention, being a child of one), but not after having "Obtained the Golden Fleece" of many a woman and man.
  • Lakota mythology has, on a sliding scale from Memetic Sex God to Memetic Molester, Okaga the south wind (embodiment of masculinity); the sun god Wi (keeps mistresses); the trickster Iktomi (Depraved Bisexual); and Gnaskipeya (even more depraved, but no stories of him having sex with men).

    Tabletop Games 
  • Slaaneshi daemons in Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000 are a paradoxical version of this that borders on Mind Screw; viewing them will cause you to want them, even if you recognise them as the warp-spawned monstrosities that they are. Slaanesh being the god of (among other things) lust, beauty and desire certainly doesn't hurt... though since the "other things" include pleasure through unutterable pain and torture, the paradox occurs again.
    • Does it count when the guy in question is a literal sex god?
  • In the First Age of Exalted, Ma-Ha-Suchi was an in-universe example. The Wolf with the Red Roses, as he was known back then, had made it his life's mission to sleep with every Celestial Exalt in Creation. That he was doing quite well at this is no surprise when you see what he looked like. Shame the Usurpation happened...

    Video Games 
  • Albert Fucking Wesker. He will save the world from humanity by launching his missiles and ensuring Complete. Global. Saturation.
  • Everyone's gay for Bridget.
  • When people think Street Fighter, the first thing that comes to mind is Chun-li and Cammy.
  • Morrigan/Lilith and Felicia keep the Dark Stalkers franchise still alive in the public memory.
  • When you think SoulCalibur first that comes up is Taki and Ivy or Raphael and Mitsurugi.
    • Sometimes [1] Voldo too, what with his collection of codpieces and all...
  • Daniel, whether he wants it or not. He usually doesn't.
  • Duke Nukem. The women, nay, babes of his universe exist to be boned by him, and he loves them all.
  • Klavier Gavin from Ace Attorney. Be careful, you can lose your virginity just by looking at him.
  • Bowser. Seriously, he got so many children out of the wazoo!
  • Zelos. It's canon that he has girls falling all over themselves to get to him (the first time you meet him he has fangirls swarming around him, and it's his special ability to get female NPCs to give him items after he flirts the tiniest bit with them), and one of the first thing he says is, "Sorry, I don't talk to guys," which implies that it's not uncommon for guys to hit on him, either. Whether Zelos actually IS a manslut is up to interpretation, but one thing is definitely certain: all he has to do is say the word and he can get laid. Hands down.
  • Mystery Sim gets with everybody.
  • Emperor Doviculus's seed germinates within you.
  • Space Channel 5: Purge is going to have fun with you...
  • Nick and Ellis of Left 4 Dead are just as much sex gods together as they are apart. Rochelle has no idea what she's missing out on, choosing Francis over Nick. Not to Mention Ellis has pretty much laid claim to the only surviving female who isn't his "sister by circumstance".
  • Ezio Auditore da Firenze. In and out of universe.
  • Everyone drops the soap for Soap.
  • The World Ends with You: Everybody wants to factor with Minamimoto.
    • Everyone wants to be Joshua's proxy.
  • Scout's mother.
  • Minato Arisato and Yuu Narukami can potentially sleep with over a dozen girls between them, plus have a further 3 or 4 girls romantically interested in them, plus a truck load of Ho Yay with their male friends. This includes a Robot Girl (Aigis) and a pair of sisters that may not be entirely human (Elizabeth, in Minato's case; Margaret, in Yuu's). From the fandom's point of view, they can pretty much seduce anything.
    • The Female Protagonist of Persona 3 Portable (Minako/Mina/Minami/Minaho/Hamuko Arisato) isn't much better, with most of her social links falling in love with her too. (Including a Cute Shotaro Boy). Oh, and Theodore, the brother of the two not entirely human sisters mentioned above, and she also has enough Les Yay to rival Minato's or Yuu's Ho Yay.
  • Everyone's also gay for Big Boss.

    Webcomics 

    Web Original 
  • Greg Miller, IGN.com's resident Cloud Cuckoo Lander and Superman/Ghostbusters fanboy is apparently enough of one to have his own relationship advice segment called "Knocking Boots With Greg Miller" on Game Scoop (one of the site's podcasts). This advice is often ridiculous. Perhaps most famously, he once answered a question from a guy who was afraid of having sex with his girlfriend in her father's house. The advice was to "bang her on the mailbox" because mailboxes are technically federal property.
  • Fernando will have sex with you. Then he will prepare a stew.
  • Nightkill is the undoubted sex king of NationStates.
  • In the That Guy With The Glasses fandom, it's accepted that The Nostalgia Critic turns everyone around him and watching him into a sadist.

    Western Animation 
  • Kim Possible: She can do anyone anything. The slash fiction says everyone wants her, and forum caption threads claim she leaves them broken and spent as she still demands more.
  • Avatar: The Last Airbender: Just looking at Wang Fire will get you pregnant.
    • Iroh will send you into heat just by being in the vicinty
    • Stupid Sexy Zuko.
  • The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog: Dr. Ivo Robotnik, thanks to YouTube Poop. It doesn't help that his designer was set out to make him "the world's sexiest fat man".
  • South Park: Kenny McKormick will do anything.
    • Don't forget about Eric Cartman's mom Leanne Cartman, who practically is canon proof of this trope.
  • Velma is a barely-restrained sex goddess in nerd's clothing, a barely-in-the-closet butch lesbian, or both, depending on interpretation. In Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated, she's certainly not shy about what she wants in a relationship.
    • Daphne Blake gets special mention here, due to the fact that she has been in almost every Scooby-Doo related project solely because of her sex appeal.
  • A growing number of Bronies agree that Big Macintosh from My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic has been working all the fillies' crops in Ponyville.
    • This scene from the episode Luna Eclipsed has only serve to fuel the fire.
    • It runs in the family, as his little sister Applejack is just as good at "wrangling up" the bronies.
    • The entire mane cast could be considered this, along with Princess Celestia.
      • As of November 2011, an analysis of Shipping stories submitted to Equestria Daily puts Rainbow Dash in the lead for quantity, with Twilight Sparkle in the lead for diversity.
      • This is a small selection of fanfics. And most of the main cast are credited as being at least once shipped with themselves. And I don't know if the main images were from the show, but Pinkie, Twilight, and Fluttershy seem to be thinking something. Rainbow almost looks like 'OK, who's next?'.
    • Snails, at last according to BronyMike.
    • You obviously have missed the memo. Or the fanfiction. Not only is Snails the cutest, sexiest, well-dressed pony; He also has the fair goddess of all geeks Twist going out with him. [Most of the time. When she's not making Diamond Tiara or Apple Bloom fall for her.]
  • Bill Clinton from Family Guy. When Peter confronts him for sleeping with Lois, he ends up in bed with Clinton himself in less than five minutes. "Boy, you are good."
