What's up with the angle? It looks like a photograph of a picture.
I like the picture, but I really wish it wasn't so...whatever happened to it to make it like that.

Not a good image at all.
Rhymes with "Protracted."

I vote imageless.
The only examples I can think of lead to both bad Unfortunate Implications and extreme NSFW-ness.
If people learned from their mistakes, there wouldn't be this thing called bad habits.
That Spider-Man picture doesn't look good, but I don't think we'll find any better.
I don't know if this can be illustrated.
I see the Awesomeness.
It looks weird to me, but it works.
Fight smart, not fair.
It shouldn't be left imageless. The current picture is visibly an example of the trope. If there is somthing better, post it, if there is a better version of this picture, post it, but taking it down would gain nothing.
The Other Troper
This isn't merely stating one needs to get laid, but someone acting in a way that prompts this. The picture does not show this.
And we gain not having something that is confusing more than illustrative.
I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.

Hm, that's a good point. Changing my vote to "new image".

That would fit a trope about a sexual dry spell. This is about behavior that causes people to respond with "Dude, you need to get laid".

Isn't that easily fixed by masturbation anyway

There is a disturbing amount of pornography slipping through the filter. Anyway: Visual Pun route

Second one is generally pointless. First one is...okay-ish.

That does pose the question: is a visual pun acceptable for tropes that are overall unpicturable.

Biggus Dickus seems to answer that.

I'd say for legitimately unpictureable ones, yes.

The Other Troper
We can picture this. It's not really about the sex. It's about annoying behavior. The trope name is just the reaction to that.

Well, the best term I can think of to GIS for that would be "constant masturbation" or something, and I'm too scared to google it.

Role Model
I think that frog/tadpole one would better suit Can't Have Sex, Ever.
The sad, REAL American dichotomy
"The only examples I can think of lead to both bad Unfortunate Implications and extreme NSFW-ness." - Edmania
The trope itself is ridden with Unfortunate Implications by its very nature. It's only the NSFW part that needs to be avoided.
The Other Troper
All this needs is a comic panel of someone nerdy, and then someone acting as though this person was a virgin.
I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.Until we find an image like that, would no image be preferable to the current one?

The current image is fine, I guess, but I'd prefer if someone had a scan that wasn't so tilted.
(The caption also has some stealth-complaining in it, but that's a different matter.)
How about We just make one of those fake Facebook things
Bob is in a relationship with Alice (obscene number of thumbs up)
Charlie: Yes! Now you can finally get some! (obscene abount of thumbs up)
The relevant aspect is off to the side, and the picture looks like it was warped in some way.
