History Main / JustLikeMakingLove

->"''Playing card games is [[TropeNamer just like making love]]. You usually do it on a table, and you always feel deep shame when it's finished. Also, the older you get, the less fun it is. So remember, [[{{Metaphorgotten}} always wear a condom when playing card games.]]''"

[[DescribeTopicHere Describing a topic is very much like the physical act of love...]]

A character compares an activity, no matter how unrelated or mundane, to sex. Bonus points if they go into great detail (often [[{{Dissimile}} giving a description that has no resemblence to sex whatsoever]], or is [[{{Metaphorgotten}} only about sex and not the other activity]]). If a character does this ''all the time'', it can overlap with TalksLikeASimile. Looks like [[FreudWasRight Freud really WAS right]].
