* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: [[spoiler: The Sex Police aren't actually police.

A Date With Rosie Palms is no longer a trope


And then one night as she submerged herself, Suzie's "lower region" slid [[ADateWithRosiePalms a little too close to the running water]], if you get the meaning. Having heard the standard gossip, she understood what was going to happen, and [[TheModestOrgasm then it did.]] But as she exited the tub, she realized something ''truly'' weird had occurred: [[TimeStandsStill accompanied by swirling lights and silence, time had stopped for the world and everyone in it but her]].

* LousyLoversAreLosersMore: PlayedWith in [[spoiler: Rachelle and Robert's relationship]]; she's ''[[ReallyGetsAround much]]'' more experienced than he is (the implication being that he spent most of college actually doing schoolwork, while she was a party girl), and says he's afraid of being too "vanilla" for her. So far, he hasn't been, as she seems to like being able to take it easy. [[spoiler: His insecurities about being able to satisfy her sexually lead them to break up briefly, though they get back together in issue #18. Just in time for Rachelle to find out in issue #19 that she's pregnant.]]

* {{Crossover}}: with ComicBook/TheWickedAndTheDivine, and one of the more complicated examples. In issue 9, we watch a porn scene being filmed where the two actors are cosplaying characters from that comic book, which we later find out was sold under the {{pun}}tastic name of "The Licked and the Divine". For bonus references, the Wic-Div creators, [[CreatorCameo Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie]], are featured in this scene, too. The real crossover happens in issue 14 of the "The Wicked and the Divine", which slightly alters these images to make it look like the character Woden is producing and directing this porn video, presumably for self-gratification purposes.

* {{Asexuality}}: In the third arc of the series, we meet Alix, an asexual person. Not only is her story incredibly touching and heartbreaking, but we learn that she accesses her orgasm-power via BASE jumping. Way to introduce a great new character [[spoiler: who resolutely decides to kill our heroes.]]

Jon works for the same bank that Suzie's dad worked for; one of the bank's owners is a member of the Sex Police; Suzie's new OB/GYN is a childhood friend of Jon's who then ends up dating Rachelle, and all seven of the main characters(Suzie, Jon, Rachelle, Robert, and the Sex Police) live in the same town.
