The TVTropes Trope Finder is where you can come to ask questions like "Do we have this one?" and "What's the trope about...?" Trying to rediscover a long lost show or other medium but need a little help? Head to Media Finder and try your luck there. Want to propose a new trope? You should be over at You Know, That Thing Where.
I know we have the opposites (Dirty Old Man and Grandma, What Massive Hotness You Have!). Old people not having sex might be a case of People Sit On Chairs.
My name is Freezer and my anti-drug is porn.Thanks for the reply. When you say it could be People Sit On Chairs, what exactly do you mean? That it's a very common cliche' assumption? I could see what you mean with that. Perhaps subversions of it could still merit a trope, though? I watched a massive subversion of the concept of old people not having/wanting sex in class the other day: a documentary titled "Still Doing It: The Intimate Lives of Women Over 60" [1] I know that might be Squick to some, but to those people I say, "Fine, when you're old you're not allowed to have sex." :p
Edited by allaboutsoulThere's Nobody Over 50 Is Gay, that's sort of related. And to link to a one-word trope, enclose it in two sets of curly brackets. To look at examples, you can click on the "source" button at the top of a trope page to see how it was put together.
there is a (small) section in Acceptable Sexualtargets
I found the section referred to in Acceptable Sexual Targets. It seems to be what I was thinking, although if anyone thinks it could use its own trope page I could start one (after going through YKTTW).
Do We Have This One?
I'm taking a gender class in college, and we just talked in class recently about how elderly people are not expected to have and/or want sex. Do we have a trope about that? I feel like there must be something. I checked the Gender and Sexuality tropes and the Sex tropes and didn't see anything, but I might have missed it.
