* The subject of a hilarious joke in the movie ''AnnieHall'', where Woody Allen and Diane Keaton are both shown talking to their therapists.  Woody complains that they almost never have sex: "Only three or four times a week."  Annie complains that they constantly have sex, "Three or four times a week."
* Sets off the plot of the film ''Extract'', though the marriage depicted there has more problems than incompatible sex drives.
* [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] in an episode of ''BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' in which Xander says that everything makes 15-year-old boys think of sex when asked by his then-girlfriend.  Interestingly, ''Buffy'' subverted this trope with vigor.
* Used as the plot of an episode of ''Rules of Engagement'', in which the male leads all bet on which of them -- the married man, the guy with a live-in girlfriend, and the single guy -- can score within 24 hours.  Both the married guy and the single guy run into this trope.
* This was a big part of what broke up J.D. and one of his girlfriends in a season of ''Scrubs''; he wanted sex, she wanted to wait seemingly indefinitely.
** Also, Dr. Kelso uses everyone's belief in this trope as part of a ruse involving the one night of the year his wife lets him seep with her.  [[spoiler: His wife has nothing to do  with it.]]
* Played with in, of all things, MST3K Z-list fodder ''Hobgoblins'' with the hero's girlfriend, seemingly a living example of this trope until the wish-granting beasties of the title reveal that [[MyGirlIsASlut his girl is an aspiring slut.]].
* Used in an episode of ''TwoAndAHalfMen'', "Kinda Like Necrophilia," with a gorgeous woman who is...less than enthusiastic in bed.  Also less than animate.
* Frequently used on the American version of ''MenBehavingBadly'' to drive various plotlines.
