Clean Pretty Reliable Sex 9v9

  • clean: sex in IRL means bodily liquids, especially sweating — not so much in fiction.
  • pretty: sex in IRL has funny or even grotesque facial expressions, flesh rolls in bizarre locations, messed up clothing, make-up, hair etc. — not so much in fiction.
  • reliable: sex in IRL doesn't just always work out — not so much in fiction.

as for the other one, I think something like Anatomically Impossible Sex.

I like both of those.

For reliable, I'd suggest: IRL, sex sometimes isn't very satisfactory for one/both/all of the participants. In Fiction it's only not "good for you, too" if it's a plot point or a joke.

I'm not sure about Clean Pretty Reliable Sex. That name suggests some kind of connection to CPR: Clean, Pretty, Reliable, when in fact there isn't one.

I like Anatomically Impossible Sex. Genitals Cannot Do That might also work.

Anatomically Impossible Sex is fantastic. Describes a hilarious amount of the H artwork that comes out of Japan.

Anatomically Impossible Sex works. Anatomically Improbable Sex might work better.

And I just realized how utterly absurd those two sentences both are.

No no, "Impossible" is definitely better.

I have to say that Artistic License-Sex and Sex Does Not Work That Way would work well.

Idealised Sex and Anatomically Impossible Sex sound good. They both get the point across without resorting to snowclones, too.

I also carried out the action on the old crowner and undid the merge. You Fail Sex Ed Forever is now its own page again.

How do you change the title of the discussion to say that there is a new crowner?

Send a hollar to the mods. Always do that when you make a new crowner.

You get a mod's attention and they'll change it. The best way is to send a holler via the yellow triangle button above any post.

That's for future reference because I already changed it.

It's been three days. Can we call this one?

Another thing: Several of the examples on this page are about the characters in the story "failing sex ed forever", and those examples wouldn't fit under the new title. I think we should split off those examples into another trope called something like Sexual Ignorance for characters that misunderstand sex in the story (similar to Global Ignorance). Unless we already have that one somewhere.

Calling this crowner. I like the idea of splitting off Sexual Ignorance if you want to take it through the YKTTW.

I have moved the page to the new name. Now, how do you get rid of the custom title on the redirect You Fail Sex Ed F Orever (which shows up as You Fail Sex Ed Forever)?

Overwrite with a new one. What should YouFailSexEdForever be?

Shouldn't it be the actual name in the wick, "You Fail Sex Ed Forever"? I thought we agreed not to do any more custom title renames?

Vote up names you like, vote down names you don't. Whether or not the title will actually be changed is determined with a different kind of crowner (the Single Proposition crowner). This one just collects and ranks alternative titles.
