This image did not get enough consensus in the Image Suggestion thread.

What's the objection?

I thought it was decent.

It's a little unclear that it's those two who died, but given the context I think it's clear enough. His glasses being visible in both also helps.

It's not an entirely easy trope to portray without text, but this one separates the deaths from the actual sex in that they're from different scenes, which I think help illustrate the trope and clear some misunderstandings the trope name could give.

Just use that Futurama image of the two skeletons with broken pelvises. Totally SFW on top of being hilarious.

Never mind, mixed this trope up with Out with a Bang.

Could be a bit clearer about the fact that there are two characters stacked upon another.

[up][up] I actually think I prefer that one to [up].

[up] and [up][up] are more Out with a Bang (people die during the act itself). I was ambivalent on the OP but given the argument in 3 I can get behind it.

Yeah, 5 is Out with a Bang. 6 is a blur.

Good point. The current pic on that page is pretty much JAFAAC, maybe swap it with that one?

Not really. Notice what part of their bones are crushed. And one of them's smoking.

But who crushes their pelvis during sex?

I have no idea, but apparently it felt great.

^ I think that's premature. The consensus seems to be that the OP is the only image that depicts the trope Death By Sex accurately.

Whether to replace Out with a Bang with something else is a secondary discussion.

Out with a Bang works as-is.
