* ''Film/Maverick'': Jodi Foster and Mel Gibson's characters have a pretty prolonged scene on the river boat during a break in the poker tournament. There's not much build-up save for some flirty energy beforehand and flirty energy afterwards.

* Creator/NeilGaiman apparently decided that what ''Literature/AmericanGods'' really needed was three sudden bonking (with a twist) sequences, two of which were completely irrelevant to the plot, took place in a completely different locale, and involved characters who had not been seen or even mentioned beforehand. One sex scene was especially unexpected because it involved two men -- a salesman and a taxi driver -- and gave virtually no indication that either was gay until a quarter of a page before the thrusting began. (Assuming everyone is straight, of course, and neglecting that the main barrier to such scenes in real life is ascertaining that the other guy is in fact gay enough too.) The scenes with Bilquis and the djinn do serve a purpose, though -- they show us how the former gods are making it nowadays, and exactly how un-glamourous, how far from godlike it really is.

!This trope is [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=16694182540.73873700 under discussion]] in the Administrivia/TropeRepairShop.

* ''Film/JasonsLyric'': After a brief argument, the title characters engage in an intense and passionate sex in the electronic store and reconcile just like that, with none of them even starts talking or apologizing.

* The YA novel ''[[Literature/Monument 14 Trilogy Monument 14: Sky on Fire]]'' contains a scene where Dean and Astrid spontaneously have sex, mere hours after she made it clear to him that she wasn't interested in sleeping with him. The in-universe explanation is that the two were high on the chemical compounds contaminating the air outside. The sex scene is only mentioned a few more times in the book.

The in-universe explanation is that the two were high on the chemical compounds contaminating the air outside. The sex scene is only mentioned a few more times in the book.

* ''Literature/TheirBrightAscendancy'': Midway through ''The Tiger's Daughter'', Princess Minami Shizuka falls seriously ill and her solicits her childhood friend Barsalai Shefali [[MustNotDieAVirgin to have sex with her in case she doesn't make it]] -- with the two of them passing it off as IntimateHealing when they're caught in the morning. What makes the scene gratuitous is that 1) their intimacy is described in pornographic detail while all of the other sex scenes in the story are of the SexyDiscretionShot variety, 2) they're teenagers, and 3) in the context of the narrative it's being recounted by Shefali in her autobiographical letter to Shizuka.

* ''Series/MayfairWitches'': Rowan and Ciprien's sex scene is abrupt, without buildup, also probably unnecessary to show their relationship too.

* An issue of ''ComicBook/TheAvengers'' opened with ComicBook/AntMan and ComicBook/TheWasp having sex. Not vanilla sex, either. [[PowerPerversionPotential He used his powers to shrink and was doing]] something inside her lady parts. No, this added nothing to the story that a morning-after scene (like the one portrayed immediately after this) could not have accomplished.

-->-- '''[[Creator/BenCroshaw Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw]]''''s [[http://www.fullyramblomatic.com/reviews/playgames.htm review of]] ''I Like To Play Games Too''

* ''Series/{{Bridgerton}}'':
** Quite a lot happen in season 1. As newlyweds, Daphne and Simon almost constantly have sex when honeymooning, even when they are (briefly) [[SexWithTheEx estranged]]. Despite in a [[SecretRelationship clandestine relationship]], Anthony and his mistress, Siena, often have sex randomly whenever they get a chance.
** [[TamerAndChaster A less erotic one]] in season 2. After verbally sparring (as usual) about their failure over familial duties and useless sacrifices, Anthony and Kate eventually decide to just let themselves consumed by their longtime desire; having sex by the pavilion in the garden, in the near-end of episode 7.

* Whether accurate or not, ''Series/GameOfThrones'' became ''heavily'' associated with this trope in the early seasons, to the point that the sex was always the first thing most online comedians would parody about it. Indeed, there were several scenes where the sex is clearly front and center, and plot-relevance was an afterthought to ''just barely'' keep it out of this trope. The showrunners realized they were developing a reputation and dialed back the nookie in the last three seasons. The show itself parodied this trope in the final season when Bronn was having a threesome with two prostitutes...who spent the entire time conversing with each other about the war and their favorite clients getting killed/mangled, ''all while doing him'', which completely killed his mood.

* Happens repeatedly in the first few episodes of ''Series/JessicaJones2015''. Made even more ridiculous by Jessica not appearing to have undressed at all for any of the scenes for her and Luke Cage's DestructoNookie. There's also an awkward oral sex scene with Trish Walker and Will Simpson in the middle of the season. Has resulted in some BrokenBase as the show's defenders claim the amount of sex is appropriate for the story, while others disagree. Some defenders of the series are upset by the fact that most media coverage of the series has focused on the sexual content rather than on the Kilgrave plot, despite it being a relatively small part of the overall storyline. This reportedly includes [[WordOfGod Krysten Ritter]], who at one point was quoted as being tired of constantly being asked about the sex scenes.

* PlayedForLaughs in ''Series/{{Runaways}}''. We don't actually ''see'' Nico and Karolina having sex, but we see literal sparks flying and the girls giggling from their room, all while Nico's ex-boyfriend Alex looks on forlornly.
* ''Series/SexLife'': The series shows many sex scenes which might ordinarily be covered with a {{sexy discretion shot}}, though one supposes it's somewhat to be expected from the title.
* ''Series/ShesGottaHaveIt'': The series has plenty of sex scenes, of varying explicitness, which aren't strictly necessary. However, [[MrFanservice probably few]] [[MsFanservice will complain]].
* ''Series/SpartacusBloodAndSand'' does not bother with subtext ''at all''. They just show people going at it. A ''lot''. Scenes that would on most shows end with the DressHitsFloor, instead progress to full-on, borderline hardcore sex. This is not limited to named characters. {{Fanservice extra}}s are often shown having sex (in rebel camps, brothels, upscale cocktail parties, etc...) in order to introduce an erotic element into scenes that would otherwise just be fighting or talking.

%%* ''Series/{{Torchwood}}'' tends to have rather a lot of this, though given that it does star [[ThePornomancer Captain Jack]]...
%%* ''Series/TrueBlood'' is the butt of many jokes regarding its perceived overuse of this.

* ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'':
** Both male and female characters can get it on with Red Lucy after completing the "Bleed Me Dry" quest.
** A female character with the Cherchez La Femme perk or a high speech skill can get a free session with the prostitute Joana. [[{{Squick}} Who you'll find out is trying to get out of the life to be with her fiance]].

* ''Fahrenheit'''s successor, ''VideoGame/HeavyRain'', contains an optional one near the end: with only hours left to save the life of his only son, Ethan Mars can opt to take a break and sleep with Madison Paige despite his many devastating injuries, the obvious waste of time, and little to no previous romantic chemistry between the two.
* In ''VideoGame/LANoire'', [[spoiler:[[ByTheBookCop Cole Phelps, of all people]],]] decides to have an affair with [[spoiler:Elsa]], one of the witnesses to a high-profile narcotics homicide case. Not only is he a married man with two young kids, but it comes almost out of the blue too [[spoiler:(aside from a series of mysterious {{foreshadowing}} cutscenes of Phelps attending Elsa's performances, the two had a total of two conversations, one of which was a police interrogation)]]. This, in ironic karma, kicks off a domino of hurt [[spoiler:for him which sees him demoted, publicly humiliated and sued for adultery]]. After even his wife kicks him out, the first thing he does is [[JerkAss go back to his lover for a second round]].
* ''VideoGame/LeatherGoddessesOfPhobos'' uses this for its sex scenes. As it can be played on multiple explicitness settings, ranging from "tame" to "lewd", they kind of had to use this so the "tame" players wouldn't miss too much. Frequently what they miss is a single sentence.

[[folder:Webcomics]]
* ''WebComic/MagickChicks'': Alluded to between Faith and her boyfriend, Ash, when they meet in the park, presumably to discuss what happened at the pool party.[[note]]Tiffany had infiltrated Faith's pool party in disguise and [[http://www.magickchicks.com/strips-mc/feat_of_derring-do managed to steal the wand]].[[/note]] Except the discussion [[StealthPun came]] ''[[WallBangHer after]]'' [[http://www.magickchicks.com/strips-mc/stop_teasing they did.]]
* ''Webcomic/TheRockCocks'' has at least one sex scene per chapter. Track 5 has ''three'' going concurrently, between Steg and Suria, Seth and Georgie, and Redd, Rei and Meg.
* ''Webcomic/VampireCheerleaders'' has it happen more than once:
** The first time being near the end of ''the very first chapter'', after Lori failed to silence Leonard [[HeKnowsTooMuch for threatening to expose her]] [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/half-time_3 and the rest of "A-Squad" as vampires.]] So she resorted to [[TimeForPlanB Plan "BC":]] which was to buy his silence by having [[SexyDiscretionShot all of A-Squad f*ck his brains out.]] [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/half-time_7 It worked.]]
** During the ''"Adventures in Space... and Time?!"'' arc in vol.4, Leonard and co. end up at Lemuria, where they were supposed to be bathing in preparation for the evening banquette. But [[spoiler: [[ShamelessFanserviceGirl Suki]]]] was horny and decided to have a quickie with Leonard, right there in the hot spring, since they were already naked.
** Earlier in the same vol., she wound up on the receiving end immediately after getting an unexpected ReunionKiss from Zoe. She was so overcome with emotion, that she tackled [[spoiler: Suki]] to the ground and [[spoiler: humped her leg in front of everyone at the amusement park, 'til she hit [[TheImmodestOrgasm the Big 'O']]]]!
* ''Webcomic/EverydayHeroes'': In the flashback scenes of "The Talk" arc, Mr. Mighty and Jane (who, at this point, are confirmed to not even kissed yet) are talking at MM's apartment. As a sign of his trust in her, he shares with her one of the heroes' biggest secrets (a power-suppressing drug that even knowing about would be invaluable to her villainous contacts), even going so far as to give her a sample. The moment moves MM to pour his heart out to her, culminating in a marriage proposal. That moves Jane to say yes, but not before popping the suppression pill into his mouth.
-->'''Jane:''' You can make an honest woman out of me tomorrow.

[[folder:Western Animation]]
* Played straight in multiple episodes of ''WesternAnimation/MoonbeamCity''. Actually, it's part of the show's [[RefugeInAudacity humor and appeal]].
** One of the sub-plots of the seventh episode, "Cop Con", revolves around [[spoiler:[[TheHero Dazzle]] and [[FallenPrincess Pizzaz]] enjoying [[GetaRoom multiple instances]] of [[SleepingWithTheBoss passionate love-making]],]] during the weekend-long event, when they should be overseeing the convention. It's revealed that they [[spoiler:give in to their mutual [[AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther attraction and affection]] [[MakingLoveInAllTheWrongPlaces multiple times]] every year]], at every Cop Con.
* Mocked in ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' episode "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS11E16Pygmoelian Pygmoelian]]", when Homer spills the future plotlines of a SoapWithinAShow:
-->'''Homer:''' Gabriella's baby shower will be invaded by terrorists, ''with sexy results!'' Sister Bernadette will leave the convent and start a softball team, ''with sexy results!''
[[/folder]]

This trope is, at times, logical in the sense that given what we know about the characters in the story, yes, it makes some sense that they would make love at this time. Where it becomes illogical is that there's seldom any narrative purpose to show them actually doing the deed. Functionally, it does nothing to advance the plot if nothing particularly important happens while they're having sex, especially when compared with the far more efficient SexyDiscretionShot. A number of books on directing films and screenwriting state outright that a sex scene can serve to take the audience out of the story, especially if it is explicit in nature. There is some TruthInTelevision to this; very [[DistractedByTheSexy rarely can people remember]] what happens in a movie or TV show right after a major sex scene.

A warning sign that a series or film relies too heavily on Coitus Ensues is if the product is not intended to be wholly about sexual topics (as opposed to something like ''Fifty Shades of Grey'') yet media coverage and reviews tend to focus on the sexual aspects of a show to the near exclusion of all else.

* Happens between Satoru and Saki in ''Literature/FromTheNewWorld'', although, considering the emotionally distressing events they'd just gone through as well as the cultural norms for their society, it's understandable that it happened.
* ''Manga/MakenKi'':
** The preface page of chapter 45 shows Yuuka and Takaki engaged in foreplay while spooning together in lingerie.
-->'''Page caption:''' [[LampshadeHanging This has nothing to do with the story.]] But fanservice [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools once in awhile]] is always good!
** Played straight in chapter 76, which has Love Espada coax Kyoki into one of the club rooms, during the school's Himekagura Festival. Usui and Himegami eavesdrop from outside.
** Chapter 79 shows the aftermath of an all-girl orgy that was instigated by Espada. The other girls are seen passed out at her feet in various states of undress, with two of them still trembling in orgasm.

* ''[[Anime/LupinIIITheSecretOfTwilightGemini The Secret of Twilight Gemini]]'': About halfway through the film, [[Franchise/LupinIII Lupin]] sneaks into Morocco's police HQ to steal a file [[spoiler: on Galoux]] and has a chance encounter with [[MsFanservice Fujiko]], who was after the same file. They swap notes on what they've learned, during which Lupin accidentally mentions the treasure he's after. So Fujiko returned the favor, [[SexyDiscretionShot by letting him have]] ''[[SexWithTheEx hers]]''... right there in the file room, [[RefugeInAudacity while the place was packed with cops]], who were canvassing the city for them!
* ''LightNovel/TheUndeadKingsReignOfPeace/TheUndetectableStrongestJob'' has Lavia, the girl who would become the female lead, offer up her virginity to Hikaru the ''instant'' he gets her to freedom. Hikaru does voice some reservations, but she's so insistent, he quickly takes her up on it, without any contraception. Fortunately, he does get contraceptives later as the two wind up knocking boots like rabbits during their travels.

* In issue 2 of ''[[Franchise/FridayThe13th Friday The 13th: Pamela's Tale]]'', Barry and Claudette go into [[MakingLoveInallTheWrongPlaces the woods to have sex]] [[spoiler:just before Jason drowns in Crystal Lake]]:
-->'''Barry''': Oh, don't be such a stick in the mud, Claudette!\\
'''Claudette''': Barry, stop! We have responsibilities!\\
'''Barry''': There are a ton of other counselors here. Everything will be '''fine'''. No one will even notice we're gone. We'll be back in ten minutes. I swear!\\
'''Claudette''': "Ten minutes?" ''(Looks over her shoulder)'' It had better last longer than that!\\
'''Barry''': Wait up!\\
'''Claudette''': Don't just sit there silly! HAHAHA!\\
'''Barry''': [[TheGruntingOrgasm YEAH, BABY! UHNNNN! TAKE IT!]]\\
'''Claudette''': [[TheImmodestOrgasm OH, BARRY! OH! OH MY GOD!]] '''AAAAAAAHH!'''
* The ComicBook/New52 had two infamous examples in its first month:
** ''ComicBook/RedHoodAndTheOutlaws'' establishes that ComicBook/{{Starfire}} has no memory of any of her human friends, including Roy; indeed, her narration implies StarfishAlien psychology where she can't really remember humans' personalities at all. (Later issues reveal this to be a lie, but it's unclear if this was a RetCon to stifle controversy.) As Roy's trying to get her to remember him, she asks, out of the blue, "Do you want to have sex with me?" They do. Many people noted that, aside from making Starfire seem completely uninterested in anything but sex, the implication that she is incapable of connecting with humans emotionally makes the whole thing creepy.
** The first issue of ''ComicBook/{{Catwoman}}'' had her escape from an attack on her apartment (with lots of shots of her in her underwear), meet up with Batman on a roof, and have them have sex while wearing their costumes. Some described it as a fanfic that nobody wanted to actually have canonized. Batman also initially tries to dissuade her, only to give in when she wouldn't stop, which some found [[DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale at least slightly rapey]].
* PlayedForLaughs in ''ComicBook/ThePunisherMAX'' with Castle and O'Brien.
-->"Are you cold?"
-->"No."
-->"Are you lonely?"
-->"No."
-->"Do you want to jump my bones anyway?"
-->"Sure."
* Happens a lot with Moonstone in Ellis ''ComicBook/{{Thunderbolts}}'' and ''ComicBook/DarkAvengers'', primarily because she's a manipulative sociopath who considers it the easiest way to get her hooks into her teammates while ticking off her boss.
** This is also a tactic used by her teammate {{ComicBook/Daken}}. [[DepravedBisexual He'll sleep with both men and women to get what he wants.]]
%% * Some of the sex scenes in ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}'' are irrelevant, especially the one at the end with Dr. Manhattan watching. [[spoiler: Particularly because they are in a large atrium of another man's mansion, without even considering getting a room. Maybe they deserved to have Dr. Manhattan watch. Not that they could have stopped him anyway.]]

* This is often the case with many forum-based roleplays.
** Fandom-based Website/LiveJournal roleplays are guilty of it, as well. In fact, some threads are created with the sole goal of making the two (or more) characters involved have sex; at some point, the players will inevitably lose patience and think up some sudden excuse or trope to use to speed the process up. Sometimes entirely too much.
** Became particularly noticeable in pre-game of ''Roleplay/SurvivalOfTheFittest'' v4. Many, many characters had graphic sex scenes with varying degrees of lead-up, to the point where handlers often commented on and poked fun at it.
*** ''Roleplay/SurvivalOfTheFittestMini'': So, you're in a death game. You manage to handcuff yourself to a gazebo in a graveyard, leaving you defenseless. If you're Marion Williams, a character in PV3's prologue, the first thing you do is, of course, seduce the girl who tries to help you.
* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10036097/1/Pokemon-The-Adventures-of-Ryan-and-Kirrie The Adventures of Ryan and Kirrie]]'', a ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' fanfic, has ''every chapter'' guilty of this. In fact, it comes to the point where DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale applies in the ''First Chapter'' alone.

* ''Fanfic/LoveAtFirstSightHarryPotter'': "They banged. The End"
* ''WesternAnimation/TheModifyers'': The unofficial parody is a 7min. short, 5 of which, are simply [[BigBadWannabe Baron Vain]] screwing [[PerkyGoth Lacey Shadows]] every way imaginable. She escapes him, after she's had her fun, and is last seen [[FriendsWithBenefits banging her robot sidekick]], [[DoAnythingRobot Mole.]]
* ''Fanfic/MyImmortal'', of course. "We jumped on each other and started screwing each other" indeed.
** Most notably, just before the FinalBattle, the plot (such as it exists) screeches to a stop so Ebony, Vampire, Draco, and Satan can have a big orgy for no reason. When Snape arrives, they put their clothes back on and continue with the plot as if nothing happened.
* Used in the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' piece ''[[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/93809/a-pleasant-surprise A Pleasant Surprise]]'' by [=Kalash93=]. The protagonist was only expecting to chat and catch up with Fluttershy. Extremely sweet sex ensues.
** Happens in two other works by [=Kalash93=].
** In ''[[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/100083/1/blissful-dream/blissful-dream Blissful Dream,]]'' Fluttershy and her lover sudden start making love for close to no discernible reason, other than because they enjoy it.
** Used rather sensibly in ''[[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/106068/1/relax/intimacy Relax,]]'' because the story tells of an encounter between a HookerWithAHeartOfGold and her client. It's actually rather touching, really.
* Similarly "Fanfic/{{Progress}}: Luna vs. Threesome" includes the phrase "And then they all fucked!" immediately following a set-up for a sex scene between Luna and her two roommates. In context, [[SubvertedTrope it was actually a cut to Pinkie Pie talking to Twilight Sparkle about a porn DVD she got from Celestia.]] The actual sex is off-screen and integrated into the story more tastefully.
* In "Shadow Snark", a chapter starts out seeming like this but in the end turns out to be Pinkie Pie's own fanfic.
-->OR WAS IT!?

[[folder:Films -- Animated]]
* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanAssaultOnArkham'' has a sex scene between ComicBook/{{Deadshot}} and [[Characters/HarleyQuinnTheCharacter Harley Quinn]] that arguably qualifies, since there's no real romance or much characterization that comes from it. Aside from {{Fanservice}} and RuleOfFunny, its only influence on the plot is that later Harley, while arguing with ComicBook/TheJoker, tells him that she has a new guy in her life.
* In the additional scenes at the beginning of ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheKillingJoke'', Batgirl and Batman are arguing on a rooftop that devolves into a SlapSlapKiss. Batman ''tries'' to resist. Briefly. The scene was ''highly'' controversial, given that it wasn't present in [[ComicBook/TheKillingJoke the original source material]] at all, there was both a heavy age difference between the two characters combined with Batman's status as a mentor/teacher to Batgirl, and the heavy and rather sexist implication that Batgirl only became a superhero to get into Batman's pants.
[[/folder]]

* ''Film/ThreeHundredSixtyFiveDays'' trilogy: Quite happen a lot that even many audiences watch this movies [[JustHereForGodzilla only for the sex scenes]].
* ''Film/TwentyOne'' had one between two of the blackjack team in Vegas. Then again, Vegas kind of encourages that sort of thing—what happens in Vegas, etc., etc. (Still, none of the others are shown engaging.)

%%* ''Film/{{Ammonite}}'': Mary and Charlotte have a lengthy sex scene. {ZCE. Needs more context.}

* In ''Film/BloodRayne'' as well. Only this time, it seems like Rayne was aroused by nightmares/memories of herself murdering a bunch of people.
* In ''Film/CabinFever'', the last healthy man in the cabin finds the last healthy woman sitting on her bed, staring sadly out the window. She tells him that they're all sure to get sick and states that they might as well have sex since they will die. She gives the man a lingering predatory look and then suddenly we see her throwing him down on the bed (both completely naked) and screwing his brains out.[[spoiler: It then turns out that the woman wasn't healthy at all, she just hadn't developed any symptoms yet.]] Director Creator/EliRoth has stated that his goal with ''Film/CabinFever'' was to return horror to its 70s roots--meaning lots of gore and nudity. This otherwise pointless scene was inserted purely for that purpose. There was some {{Foreshadowing}} in a deleted scene showing Marcy growing closer to Paul, but with that cut out of the film, them having sex is quite random.
* Near the end of the ''Film/ChildrenOfTheCorn2009'' remake, the child cultists are having a feast, and afterward two of them start to randomly have sex as a part of some disturbing ritual.
* ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises'' has Bruce get at it with Miranda Tate, in basically their second scene together. For him, he has the excuse of having not dated anybody or left his mansion for the past eight years, and it ''does'' provide a quick way to jump-start the arc about him trusting her, but there's little reason given for why she's suddenly interested in him, especially since [[spoiler:[[CanonCharacterAllAlong she's Talia al-Ghul]] and hates him for [[YouKilledMyFather killing her father]]]].
* ''Film/DestinationWedding'': Played with and lampshaded. Frank and Lindsay decide to have sex, without protection, on a hillside in broad daylight, during a wedding, despite not liking each other very much. Why? "It couldn't possibly make this situation worse."

* Creator/RyokaYuzuki's lesbian sex scene in ''Manga/EkoEkoAzarak'' might be viewed by some unkind souls as not being entirely essential to the plot.
* ''Film/FaustLoveOfTheDamned'': There's literally 10 seconds between the female lead worrying that the demonically superpowered hero who saved her from the bad guys is going to rape her to engaging in a passionate love scene with him.

** ''Film/Halloween4TheReturnOfMichaelMyers'' has Brady deciding to cheat on Rachel with Claire. Of course, they're interrupted before they can get very far but still...

* During the LockAndLoadMontage scene in ''Film/TheInterview'', Aaron and Sook end it with having sex in the armory. Justified, as they were trying to have sex before, but were interrupted by Dave.
%%* The many trashy sex scenes in ''Film/TheRoom'', which were inserted just so Tommy Wiseau could have an excuse to see his own naked ass on the silver screen. Admittedly, only one of them was plot-relevant. Ironically enough, it was the one that did ''not'' feature Tommy Wiseau's naked ass.

* In ''Film/LiarLiar'', Fletcher and Miranda start off as simple co-workers only for Miranda to [[InstantSeduction suddenly seduce]] Fletcher into having sex with her just because she was impressed by his lying capabilities as an AmoralAttorney.
* In the 2006 film version of ''Theatre/{{Macbeth}}'', the title character randomly has sex with the three witches (here gothic teenagers) while they discuss his future.

* ''Film/MyDaysOfMercy'': Mercy and Lucy's sex scenes. They're not necessary to the film at all, while probably even distracting from the rest of the plot (especially as the clips of them surfaced on the Internet before it was even released).
* ''Film/ThePostman'': Abbie comes into the Postman's room and asks him if he's decided on the request to father a child with her yet (her husband is infertile). He hesitates, and she [[DressHitsFloor undresses]]. Then he quickly says yes, and they have sex, in a pretty unnecessary scene (at least actually showing it).

* ''Film/TimeUnderFire'': The main character is a navy submarine officer who goes missing with his ship for several years due to going through a wormhole into another dimension. When he returns, he's thrown in prison because the navy thinks he committed treason (or at the very least desertion). He escapes and returns home to his wife and a pretty racy sex scene ensues.

* ''Film/VetHard'': (a.k.a. Too Fat Too Furious):
** Well, not actual coitus since they keep their clothes on, but Katja suddenly wants to do some sexual acts with Koen in [[MakingLoveInAllTheWrongPlaces the Business Class Lounge of the Airport]], of all places. Justified by her saying "she likes doing it where you can get caught". It comes out of nowhere and is pretty inconvenient for Koen, who unbeknownst to Katja is actually there on a criminal mission to hijack an airplane for Bennie [[ItMakesSenseInContext instead of, as she thinks, on their honeymoon]], and who has to take a phone call from Bennie during sexual stuff happening.
** Koen and Katja's ''first'' time they have sex, in Katja's shower, also - Koen's intention when he goes to her is to ''murder'' Katja.[[note]]To drive the point home, when Koen approaches Katja while the latter's under the shower, this is scored with the music taken from Hitchcock's 1960 film ''Film/{{Psycho}}''; the whole shower scene in this movie might be taken as either a homage or a parody of aforementioned earlier horror movie.[[/note]] At the very last minute, he decides to forego that and have sex with her instead.
* ''Film/{{Watchmen}}'' has a very long, awkward scene of Dan and Laurie having sex. This was another case of "why did this have to be in the movie", as this was only dealt with briefly in the graphic novel, and the movie was already quite long even without it. It has been argued that the scene might be considered a response to the sexualization of superhero characters and a counterpoint to another scene where Laurie's mother is nearly raped by a fellow superhero; others argue its only purpose is to justify the SomethingElseAlsoRises gag that ends the sequence.

* ''Literature/FearOfFlying'' describes such sex scenes as the "zipless fuck":
-->The zipless fuck is absolutely pure. It is free of ulterior motives. There is no power game. The man is not "taking" and the woman is not "giving." No one is attempting to cuckold a husband or humiliate a wife. No one is trying to prove anything or get anything out of anyone. The zipless fuck is the purest thing there is. And it is rarer than the unicorn. And I have never had one.
* Creator/BenElton is often guilty of this in his novels. One such scene in ''The First Casualty'' earned him a Bad Sex Awards nomination for the worst sex scene in literature that year.
* Stephen King's ''Literature/{{IT}}'' has two examples. First of all in the 1950 timeline [[spoiler: Beverly has sex with all of her friends in the sewer after defeating the BigBad. These children are all around twelve. The in-story reason is that after their victory the kids lost their focus and could not summon enough mojo to avoid getting lost, so Bev has sex with them all to revive their sense of camaraderie and unite the group long enough to escape the sewers of Derry (which, even without the big bad, cannot be fun to be stuck in). Also, this is possibly done as a TakeThat to her father who has already expressed his belief that she is having sex with the boys.]] Obviously, it was not a scene they could replicate in the movie. Then in the present Bill and Beverly hop in the sack together when staying at the Derry Inn. It would be a BigLippedAlligatorMoment if it weren't for Bev's childhood crush on him. Nothing really comes of it either as Bill goes back to his wife Audra and Bev is implied to get together with Ben and it's never mentioned after that.

* You'd think that ''Literature/KushielsLegacy'' -- a series that borders on but isn't quite erotic literature -- would use this trope a lot. But actually, it mostly averts it, with only plot-relevant sex being detailed. Special mention goes to this passage, where Phèdre (the main character and narrator) defies this trope and ''refuses'' to elaborate on a sex scene on this basis, flat-out telling the audience that what happened next isn't relevant to the plot.
-->''Of what passed between us that night, I will not speak. It had no bearing on aught that happened before or after, and was of no concern to anyone save [[spoiler:Hyacinthe]] and myself.''
* In ''Literature/TheLionsOfAlRassan'', an assassin has just killed a minor king and been exiled by his successor. Then the minor king's mistress and the mother of his two bastard sons show up at the assassin's estate and Coitus Ensues. For no reason at all.

* Also happens in ''Literature/TheMist''. Midway through the story, David and Amanda, who are both married, have sex. As with the ''Literature/{{IT}}'' example, it's something of a BigLippedAlligatorMoment, so much so that Frank Darabont chose to leave it out of the film version. Even King himself has said he had misgivings about that scene.

* "Literature/TheOrderOfMelkizedek" is a [[UsefulNotes/{{Philippines}} Filipino]] example from TheSixties, so it's coming from a culture more conservative on the average than general Western culture (even granted that—thanks to colonialism—a lot of Filipino culture ''is'' derived from Western culture), and yet this happens between main character Sid and the young(-ish) single mother Sonya Borja, with whom he's been investigating the titular MysteryCult.
* In ''Literature/ThePaleKing'', Ms. Neti-Neti is nicknamed the Iranian Crisis for a very good reason.

* Subverted and played for laughs in the Star Trek novel ''Literature/TheThreeMinuteUniverse''. Kirk and Uhura need an excuse to leave the bridge and discuss their plan when a Sacker notes that humans often have the urge to reproduce appear out of nowhere and ask if this is the case. An embarrassed Kirk says that it is and they figure out their next move in private with the Sacker none the wiser.

* ''Film/ThreeHundredSixtyFiveDays'' trilogy: Quite happen a lot that even many audiences watch this movies [[OnlyHereForGodzilla only for the sex scenes]].

* ''Film/ThreeHundredSixtyFiveDays'' trilogy: Quite happen a lot that even many audiences watch this movies [[OnlyHereForTheGodzilla only for the sex scenes]].

** [[TamerAndChaster A less erotic version]] in season 2. After verbally sparring (as usual) about their failure over familial duties and useless sacrifices, Anthony and Kate eventually decide to just let themselves consumed by their longtime desire; having sex by the pavilion in the garden, in the near-end of episode 7.

* ''LightNovel/TheUndetectableStrongestJob'' has Lavia, the girl who would become the female lead, offer up her virginity to Hikaru the ''instant'' he gets her to freedom. Hikaru does voice some reservations, but she's so insistent, he quickly takes her up on it, without any contraception. Fortunately, he does get contraceptives later as the two wind up knocking boots like rabbits during their travels.

* An issue of ''Comicbook/TheAvengers'' opened with ComicBook/AntMan and ComicBook/TheWasp having sex. Not vanilla sex, either. [[PowerPerversionPotential He used his powers to shrink and was doing]] something inside her lady parts. No, this added nothing to the story that a morning-after scene (like the one portrayed immediately after this) could not have accomplished.
* ''Comicbook/TheDarkKnightStrikesAgain'': Superman and Wonder Woman had sex for several pages for no real reason. In the process creating destructive weather patterns and tidal waves that overturn aircraft carriers. [[FridgeLogic Somehow Superman is in better shape physically after that than before the act.]]

'''Claudette''': [[TheImmodestOrgasm OH, BARRY! OH! OH MY GOD! '''AAAAAAAHH!]]

** ''ComicBook/RedHoodAndTheOutlaws'' establishes that Comicbook/{{Starfire}} has no memory of any of her human friends, including Roy; indeed, her narration implies StarfishAlien psychology where she can't really remember humans' personalities at all. (Later issues reveal this to be a lie, but it's unclear if this was a RetCon to stifle controversy.) As Roy's trying to get her to remember him, she asks, out of the blue, "Do you want to have sex with me?" They do. Many people noted that, aside from making Starfire seem completely interested in anything but sex, the implication that she is incapable of connecting with humans emotionally makes the whole thing creepy.
** The first issue of ''Comicbook/{{Catwoman}}'' had her escape from an attack on her apartment (with lots of shots of her in her underwear), meet up with Batman on a roof, and have them have sex while wearing their costumes. Some described it as a fanfic that nobody wanted to actually have canonized. Batman also initially tries to dissuade her, only to give in when she wouldn't stop, which some found [[DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale at least slightly rapey]].
* PlayedForLaughs in ''Comicbook/ThePunisherMAX'' with Castle and O'Brien.

* Happens a lot with Moonstone in Ellis ''Comicbook/{{Thunderbolts}}'' and ''Comicbook/DarkAvengers'', primarily because she's a manipulative sociopath who considers it the easiest way to get her hooks into her teammates while ticking off her boss.

%% * Some of the sex scenes in ''Comicbook/{{Watchmen}}'' are irrelevant, especially the one at the end with Dr. Manhattan watching. [[spoiler: Particularly because they are in a large atrium of another man's mansion, without even considering getting a room. Maybe they deserved to have Dr. Manhattan watch. Not that they could have stopped him anyway.]]

*** Roleplay/SurvivalOfTheFittestMini: So, you're in a death game. You manage to handcuff yourself to a gazebo in a graveyard, leaving you defenseless. If you're Marion Williams, a character in PV3's prologue, the first thing you do is, of course, seduce the girl who tries to help you.
* [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10036097/1/Pokemon-The-Adventures-of-Ryan-and-Kirrie The Adventures of Ryan and Kirrie]], a ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' fanfic, has ''every chapter'' guilty of this. In fact, it comes to the point where DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale applies in the ''First Chapter'' alone.
* Though ''FanFic/DarkSecrets'' had been building up the romance between [[Literature/HarryPotter Draco Malfoy]] and "Mary Sue" throughout (in [[SoBadItsGood its own particular way]], of course) the actual sex scene comes completely out of nowhere ''[[MoodWhiplash immediately after she's tried committing suicide]]''. It's also something of a BigLippedAlligatorMoment, in that it's completely different in style from anything else in the fic, never gets referenced again and could be [[{{Bowdlerise}} (in some versions has been)]] [[PlotTumour removed without changing anything.]]
* ''Everything the Light Touches'' (or The Lion King 2 1/2) is made of ''nothing but this''. The sole purpose of the fanfic is for Lion King characters to have sex in every character-on-character combination conceivable with very little plot and still bills itself as a "followup" to ''The Lion King II: Simba's Pride''. Numerous {{Original Character}}s are included as the story progresses, making room for even more messy scenarios. If you're a dedicated fan of the franchise or its characters, this could very well be one of the most horrifying fanfics you can ever come across for its levels of pure squick.

* Used in the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' piece [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/93809/a-pleasant-surprise A Pleasant Surprise]] by [=Kalash93=]. The protagonist was only expecting to chat and catch up with Fluttershy. Extremely sweet sex ensues.

** In [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/100083/1/blissful-dream/blissful-dream Blissful Dream,]] Fluttershy and her lover sudden start making love for close to no discernible reason, other than because they enjoy it.
** Used rather sensibly in [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/106068/1/relax/intimacy Relax,]] because the story tells of an encounter between a HookerWithAHeartOfGold and her client. It's actually rather touching, really.
* Similarly "FanFic/{{Progress}}: Luna vs. Threesome" includes the phrase "And then they all fucked!" immediately following a set-up for a sex scene between Luna and her two roommates. In context, [[SubvertedTrope it was actually a cut to Pinkie Pie talking to Twilight Sparkle about a porn DVD she got from Celestia.]] The actual sex is off-screen and integrated into the story more tastefully.

** Koen and Katja's ''first'' time they have sex, in Katja's shower, also - Koen's intention when he goes to her is to ''murder'' Katja.[[note]]To drive the point home, when Koen approaches Katja while the latter's under the shower, this is scored with the music taken from Hitchcock's 1960 film Film/{{Psycho}}; the whole shower scene in this movie might be taken as either a homage or a parody of aforementioned earlier horror movie.[[/note]] At the very last minute, he decides to forego that and have sex with her instead.

* In the Literature/EarthsChildren series, from ''The Valley of Horses'' onward, Ayla and Jondalar have long, detailed sex scenes quite frequently. Minor characters too, sometimes. Apart from a few plot-important scenes, they do little except to demonstrate the sexual openness of the culture... a point which was already made in other ways, such as through dialogue.

* ''Series/GoodOmens2019'': Like in the book, Anathema and Newt rather abruptly have sex, with basically no buildup prior to this. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] however, because she's acting on her ancestor's prophecies, who predicted they would do it.

* ''Series/TheOuterLimits1995'': In "[[Recap/TheOuterLimits1995S4E17Lithia Lithia]]", Major Mercer has sex with Miranda and then Ariel with really no buildup. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] though as Mercer is the only man either has ever seen, and they're naturally fascinated. It's possibly implied too that in their society sexual mores are more relaxed.

* ''WebComic/TheRockCocks'' has at least one sex scene per chapter. Track 5 has ''three'' going concurrently, between Steg and Suria, Seth and Georgie, and Redd, Rei and Meg.
* ''WebComic/VampireCheerleaders'' has it happen more than once:

* In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djIyA3I-oIs this condom commercial]] the salesgirl at the drug store suggests that the couple [[IsThatWhatTheyreCallingItNow try on condoms]] and they do.

* ''Manga/DontMeddleWithMyDaughter'':
** The first incident happens in chapter 2, when the JGSDF soldiers give into the plant women [[AManIsAlwaysEager without a fight]], while Athena gets raped by the plant monster itself. [[spoiler: The energy released by her orgasm causes it [[OutWithABang to explode]]]].
** In chapter 9, Athena defeats her younger sister, Artemis, [[BrotherSisterIncest by seducing her]].
** During ''"Honey Hold me Tightly pt.1"'', Clara gets [[AliensMadeThemDoIt possessed by a phallic parasite]] which causes her to forcibly take [[spoiler: Mei]]'s virginity. But both of them lose memory of the event afterward.
** In ''"Honey, Hold me Tightly pt.3"'', Clara and [[spoiler: Mei]] mutually confess their feelings for each other and [[TheirFirstTime consummate their relationship]], while they're in the middle of a battle with Phantom Spectre.

** [[TamerAndChaster A less erotic version]] in season 2. After verbally sparring (as usual) about their failure over familial duties and useless sacrifices, Anthony and Kate eventually decide to just let their longtime desire consume them; having sex by the pavilion in the garden, in the near-end of episode 7.
