Smoking Hot Sex

Go To

Hopefully only their sex is on fire, not also their bedsheets.

There are times that you need a cigarette! ...You don't wanna roll off somebody and go "Whoo, that was amazing! Skittles? Would you like some Skittles? How 'bout a Jolly Rancher, baby?"
Dave Attell

After sex, two lovers share a post-coital cigarette. Frequently, as in the picture, they'll do so sitting up in bed wearing a Modesty Bedsheet.

This trope hit an early peak during The '60s and The '70s, when anti-tobacco campaigns were in their most embryonic form and media as a whole was undergoing a transition to a new sexual frankness. Given changes that have occurred in society since then, it is mostly a Dead Horse Trope at this point, though it often pops up in parody and often happens in real life (the logic being that one satisfying sensation plus another satisfying sensation equals good.) Often used as a metaphor to say sex has taken place without showing it.

One occasionally seen variation is the post-sex pizza (maybe it's easier to get past the Moral Guardians?) Likely to happen right after a Post-Coital Collapse.

    Comic Books 
  • In Flare, Max and Nicolette are shown doing this over four pages.
  • Any time you have a Monster Girl and Kill It with Fire, this trope begs for coming up. Example: MAD and its spoof of the film Conan the Barbarian (1982). Conan torches the witch (like in the film) and says: "When she smokes after sex, she REALLY smokes after sex!"
  • Invoked in one of Neil Gaiman's Miracleman stories where a boy lights a cigarette after losing his virginity because he always wanted to do that.

  • Doctor Mann and Rose in Y: The Last Man. "So this is what smoking is like."

    Comedy 
  • Jimmy Carr uses this in a case of Comically Missing the Point:
    "People like to smoke a cigarette after sex, but you can't buy cigarettes until you're sixteen, so I have to buy them for both of us. [to audience] You think it's wrong I'm buying a 15-year-old cigarettes? [realizing] You think it's wrong I'm fucking her?"
  • Rodney Dangerfield made a joke based on this trope. He and his wife agreed to smoke only after sex. He haven't smoked in months, while his wife is up to several packs a day.
    Rodney: We made a rule that we only smoke after sex. I've got the same pack now since 1975. And my wife, she's up to three packs a day.
  • Invoked in a sketch by French absurdist comedian Raymond Devos.
    "Three days later, I found my best buddy in my bed smoking my cigarettes. I told my wife next to him: "Can't you stop him? He's going to burn the sheets".
  • "If you smoke after sex, you went too fast."
  • There is also a joke about a girl in a bed asking a partner to pass her a cigarette, then another to pass her a lighter, then another to pass her the ashtray, and then saying "Mom will go mad if she knew I'm smoking". Other variants have a single guy, but the girl is underage.

    Literature 
  • In the Doctor Who Eighth Doctor Adventures novel The Gallifrey Chronicles, Fitz and Trix have an implied intimate moment. Fitz lights a cigarette after and she scolds him, since he's from the 1960s but she's not and doesn't share his belief that it's normal for everyone to smoke everywhere at any time. He complains about how weird it is that people from the future must "all just go straight to sleep", but eventually submits to being kicked out of his own bed to go smoke elsewhere (wearing a dressing gown), where he runs into the Doctor and catches another lecture for smoking. Oddly, despite how suggestive that entire scene was, she later claims to have never had sex with him, in a situation in which she'd have no reason to lie.
  • The Dresden Files: Played for Laughs (rather morbid laughs, but still) in Ghost Story, after ghost!Harry briefly possesses Molly's (his apprentice who is hopelessly and unrequitedly in love with him) body. When they are separated again, Molly grimly quips something along the lines of, "So you've finally been inside me. I feel like I should offer you a cigarette."
  • Weird variation in the Johannes Cabal the Necromancer story "A Long Spoon". Cabal who is borderline asexual has a Meet Cute with a succubus. While that factor keeps them from having sex as does the fact that she can't have sex without killing her partner and eating their soul, he does agree to watch her shag the villain of the story to death (supposedly for "scientific purposes"), and afterward is smiling and smoking a cigarette.
  • A gay example: Look Down In Mercy has Kent and Anson light up after they have sex for the first time. It creates a faint glow on the mosquito net surrounding their bed. Perhaps it could help them relax from hiding their relationship.
  • Older Than Radio: Rodolphe lights up a cigar after he and Emma have (dubiously-consensual) sex in Madame Bovary.
  • In the Sidney Sheldon novel Master Of The Game, after having been beaten and sodomized by George Ellis, Eve Blackwell awakens to find him sitting in a chair and smoking, driving home the sickening point that he genuinely took pleasure in brutalizing her so.
  • In the book Millennium (1983) by John Varley, the hero, Louise Baltimore, is from the future. The air has become so polluted that humans have been adapted to it. When she travels back in time to the 20th century, she is constantly smoking cigarettes to help her breathe. Anyway, this is all leading up to when she finishes sex, she immediately lights one causing her partner to comment, "Do you always smoke after sex?". She then looks at her crotch, to make the obvious joke.
  • The Time Traveler's Wife is well aware of this trope's implications, using it to point up just how stereotypically masculine Gomez is. (Henry, a more sophisticated sort, notably does not engage in this.)
  • Referenced in Red Dwarf: The Space Corps Survival Manual. One of the Artificial Reality games listed is a sex simulator where players can have sex with cheerleaders. Due to a Game-Breaking Bug, the cheerleaders tend to transmute into killer pom-poms and eat the player instead unless the player uses a level skip cheat (which involves hopping backwards on one foot while French kissing a mongoose). The guide notes that because the cheat brings you to the poist-coital section of the game, the point of playing has been ruined, but you can at least have a cigarette.

  • Becker
    • Referenced in an episode where Becker is trying to quit smoking. He gets frustrated and manages to replace one addiction with another by gaining a sex buddy.

  • Shows up fairly frequently (as in, five minutes into the pilot and then a lot afterwards) in Mad Men (Duck Phillips does this after doing ahem with Peggy like it's his job), though this might be a reflection of the fact that on that show, Everybody Smokes constantly.

Of course, he gets another chance later. Pizza is mentioned again, when he thinks two slave girls are planning on interrogating him with sex, he demands they have a four-cheese pizza ready at the end. Apparently, Rimmer really likes pizza.

  • Referenced in White Collar, when Neil discreetly pats down a woman by pretending to make out. When she does the same to him, one of the surveillance officers remarks: "You'd need a cigarette after that pat-down."
  • Whose Line Is It Anyway? gets around the TV rating by miming smoking to represent sex in their sketches. Much like kissing in Star Wars, allegedly.
  • Parodied, kind of, on Will & Grace, when Karen reads Jack's hot gay romance "novel" and apparently enjoys it so much that she has to have a cigarette afterwards (and surprisingly, despite her many addictions, she is not portrayed as a smoker otherwise). Made even funnier because Grace is in the room and misunderstands Karen's vehement exclamations as being in response to her problems with Will, to which Karen isn't listening at all.
  • Referenced hilariously in Wings. Lowell declares that he's going to move out of Joe and Brian's house so that he and reconciled ex Bunny won't feel so "inhibited". Brian's incredulous response? "THAT was inhibited? When you were done, I smoked a cigarette!"
