* A RunningGag on ''TheFastShow'' with Swiss Toni:

** And again with Stan after he buys Steve a gun for Christmas:
--->'''Stan''', simultaneously demonstrating with a rifle: Steve, shooting a gun is like being intimate with a woman. First, you inspect it to make sure it's clean. Then, you grab it on the butt and jam the magazine in. If it doesn't fit, make it.
----> That's ridiculous. Stan does not say that after buying Steve a gun for Christmas. He says it after buying Steve a gun for Wednesday.

* Used earlier in SMBC relating to ''a deep fried chimpanzee''!

* SteveMartin - "Hosting [[UsefulNotes/AcademyAward the Oscars]] is much like making love to a woman. It's something I only get to do when Billy Crystal is out of town."

Compare: BetterThanSex.

* ''[[BlackAdder Blackadder Goes Forth]]'':

->"''Playing card games is 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.]]''"

A character compares an activity, no matter how unrelated or mundane, to sex. They're likely to 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]].

* Used a few times in ''{{Futurama}}''.

** In GuardsGuards, a joke similar to the Monty Python joke in Film is told: Vimes calls particularly weak coffee "love-in-a-canoe" coffee. [[StealthPun The punchline is omitted.]]

--> '''Willow'''...the energy, the collective intelligence, it's like this force, this penetrating force, and I can just feel my mind opening up, you know? And letting this place just thrust into and, and spurt knowledge into ... that sentence ended up in a different place than it started out in.

** GeorgeCarlin had used similar metaphors to describe Vietnam and the Gulf War.

* On BuffyTheVampireSlayer, Willow of all people gets one when they first go to college.

* The 1991 BingoBoys' hit "How to Dance" has a line that goes "Show you how to dance/it's like sex/start out dry/end up all wet."

->"''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.]]''"

* One ''WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}}'' series provides this example:

* TabletopGame/SLAIndustries has a rather bizarre, psychotic example in how one Contract Killer (Think the Hunters from Film/TheRunningMan) describes his job of killing people for money:
-->'''Glenn "Carnage" Berry''': "It's like sex. The first few times are the biggest thrill in the world, then you stop for some reason and you miss it a hundred times worse than when you never did it. Then you start doing it regularly, and it becomes and part of your everyday life... I mean, you look forward to it, and it's good, but it's not the same as when you first started. Then you find you are doing it less and less until one day it's really good because you did something different. Then
for a few years you look for the different thing. Then you look at yourself one day and [[CrossesTheLineTwice you're wearing a strange costume and a weird mask and chains and things...]]"
