All Psychology Is Freudian needs a big heaping help of Move This Crap To Analysis.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"
Should this be:
The cause of this trope is obvious: while it may be more factually accurate to determine that The Sociopath has no empathy because of a dodgy prefrontal cortex, it makes a much interesting story to say it is due to him being beaten by his father, misunderstood by everyone around him, and rejected from art school. A schizophrenic being treated with anti-psychotic drugs is unremarkable; one being cured by finally confronting the neighbour who raped her is triumphant. For that matter, biological treatment (e.g., drugs) is easy, fast and practical but boring, while mental asylums suck; Character Development-based treatment (e.g., psychoanalysis and humanistic therapies) might take time but brings contemplation, epiphany and triumphant catharsis with it.
Also see Freudian Couch. Freud Was Right sounds as if it might refer to this trope, but actually refers to a still more Flanderized understanding of Freud—the idea that our subconscious id is nothing more or less than our inner pervert, providing a constant litany of crude sexual thoughts.

That's pretty good. Second sentence is ungrammatical - extra "the".

Swapped the shortened form in and moved the other stuff to Analysis. Incidentally, this trope seems to be a bit wider than just Freud - which is why I reduced most Freud stuff a bit, if you don't mind.

Oh, of course not. You did great.

Speed Sex's description is mostly a long description about the real life causes of this scenario and tips on how to avoid it, instead of being about how it is portrayed in fiction. TV Tropes Is Not A Sex Advice Site, and it might violate our new No Lewdness Rule. The examples are fine, but the description needs a major chop back.

Would it look if I chopped everything between the first (along with removing the real life mention), last and second to last paragraphs?

I think that would work.

Which parts can be shunted to the Analysis tab?
Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus.
Any objections to removing all the real life stuff in the description of Speed Sex and replacing it with something like "Of course, this depiction of sex falls strongly into Artistic License – Biology."?
Nope.
... how in the world does it fall into Artistic License – Biology? Premature ejaculation is a real-world problem.
Premature ejaculation is a real-world problem, but not in the way it's commonly depicted in media.
Fair enough. I'm female, so I'm blessed with ignorance on the topic.
How about we replace that line with something like this:
"While this can be a problem for men in Real Life, it tends to be exagerated in fiction, mostly for purpose of comedy."
Edit: I made that change since it seems no one objects to it.

Robot Dog's description looks like a stub.
Am I a weirdo?
Too Soon could use a little help. I'm not sure what needs to be done, but something needs to happen.
Bigotry will NEVER be welcome on TV Tropes.Exists a giant analysis between the word "examples" and the actual examples in Men Are the Expendable Gender.

That was a very easy fix. I simply moved the analysis to Analysis/.

Aren't all sex tropes NRLEP now anyway?

Huh? What are you referring to?
As part of the A Worldwide Punomenon TRS thread, I've created Pun, but it desperately needs some expansion.

Can we get rid of the first two paragraphs (the one-sentence one is the second one) of Testosterone Poisoning, please?

Oh, he doesn't mean Real Life examples. There's only one of those. The description is ranting about Real Life legalities. That needs to be axed.
