History Main / ComingAndGoing

* ''ComicBook/{{Tomboy}}'': Addison brutally attacking the two cops who murdered her "[[FriendsWithBenefits best friend]]" Nick, killing one of them, is juxtaposed with a flashback of her and Nick having sex.

* In ''Literature/AdrianMole'', Adrian lampshades this trope when Bert Baxter's second wife Queenie dies soon after Rosie is born.
--> I suppose there is a certain logic to life and death. Rosie was born and Queenie had to make way for her.

* ''Series/{{Castle}}'': Vaguely. In one episode, the prime suspect's alibi for his best friend's murder is the confession that he was having sex with the victim's wife at the time.

* ''Series/OctoberFaction'': Alice gave birth to her babies while Presidio was slaughtering her people nearby, including her husband Omari.

The intended effect is similar to BirthDeathJuxtaposition, except this trope focuses on sex itself rather than the act of giving birth. Conception ''may'' occur, which can often lead to SomeoneToRememberHimBy. OutWithABang, being a subtrope of Death by Sex, is also closely related. Also compare GladToBeAliveSex and InterplayOfSexAndViolence.

* ''Film/HeadInTheClouds'': Gilda and Mia sleep with a lot of other people, including each other in the past, then also Guy.

!!'''As a DeathTrope, all spoilers will be unmarked ahead. Beware.'''

[[DontExplainTheJoke Coming]] and Going occurs when sex and death are associated closely together by the way the narrative is presented to the audience. It is very similar, though different, to DeathBySex, which specifically refers to a sex scene which causes a character's death, either directly or by [[TemptingFate provoking a genre convention]]. Coming and Going occurs when a sex act doesn't cause or pre-empt a death, but is linked with it by the way the scenes are framed close together. Often, the lovers will not even be aware of the death and sometimes don't even have any direct connection to the dead/dying character(s).

* ''Film/CemeteryMan'' features a sex scene that takes place in a cemetery, on top of a grave. To top it off, they do it right beside the fresh grave of the young woman's recently deceased husband. Subsequently turns out to be a DeathBySex scene.

* ''Film/ScentOfAWoman'': Creator/AlPacino outlines his long weekend plans, the key points on his itinerary being to get laid one last time and soon afterward kill himself. Technically this is neither DeathBySex nor OutWithABang, as the sex and his death [[spoiler: (which doesn't actually happen)]] are two separate events.

[[{{Nerd}} Some smart people]] claim that humans have only two main foci in life: sex and death. Some other smart people seem to agree and decide to blend these two themes together in the works they produce.

* ''Kill Fuck Die'' by Music/{{WASP}} is a ConceptAlbum about this.

* In ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire,'' Edmure Tully is DistractedByTheSexy while bedding his new wife Roslin Frey... as the Red Wedding occurs just down the hall, the Freys proceeding to wipe out Robb Stark, his mother, his dog, and his bannermen.

* ''Literature/BazilBroketail'': Minanswa has sex with Relkin before the battle against the Sephists resumes, knowing they both may die.

* In ''Film/EmbraceOftheVampire2013'', Charlotte and Sarah start getting hot and heavy in the dorm corridor while the groundskeeper is being brutally murdered outside. The film keeps cutting back and forth between the two events.
