When did Simon have sex in the pilot for Firefly? If you're thinking of that scene with Inara, I'm pretty sure she just told Mal she slept with Simon to piss him off.

Really? I never thought of that interpretation. I thought he just was afraid River had been abused and assumed that Inara was the obvious place to get such stuff. And that Inara was covering that up because Simon didn't want to embarrass River.

I only see the hero addressed as a "he". Is this trope male-only?

I was wondering that too.

"Just not lucky" and "indifferent" contradict the trope description.

Do we have a separate trope for an involuntary celibate hero? Someone who just hasn't been lucky in such things.
