1	''Tyrannosaurus Sex'' is an hour-long SpeculativeDocumentary special that aired on the Creator/DiscoveryChannel in early 2010 (specifically on Valentine's Day, quite fittingly), and used the latest developments of scientific research to educate viewers about dinosaurs and their dicks.

5	Relying on {{CGI}} technology to bring its amorous prehistoric giants to life, the program focused on the romantic relationships of the famed ''Tyrannosaurus'', tangled the topic of what most definitely was a difficult feat for ''Stegosaurus'' to accomplish, and threw in gigantic [[UsefulNotes/PrehistoricLifeDinosaurs titanosaurs]] for good measure (because size matters).

8	!!Tropes that appear in this work:
9	* AquaticSauropods: At one point brings this up when discussing how sauropods were thought to have mate, complete ith a shot of two of them doing it underwater... but this is only to visually represent it as an outdated idea, and interviewee [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregory_M._Erickson Greg Erickson]] refutes this notion entirely, stating they could support themselves on land just fine.
10	* ArtisticLicensePaleontology:
11	** ''Tyrannosaurus'' with an incorrect arm-posture and looking more like the Jurassic Park kind.
12	** Chances are that ''Titanosaurus'' never existed as a genus. They probably meant ''Alamosaurus''.
13	** The Stegosaurus has too short a neck and too mammalian a head.
14	* DomesticAbuse: The female ''T. rex'' tries to kill her partner.
15	* NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer: Used in articles promoting the program.
16	* PunBasedTitle: Rex and Sex rhyme.
17	* SexyDiscretionShot: Avoided. Dinosaurs are depicted mounting, and their genitals are illustrated.
18	* ShoutOut: The male ''Titanosaurs'' have spotted paterning like the Titanosaurs in ''Series/PrehistoricPark''.
19	* SpeculativeDocumentary: The genitals and behavior of the dinos are covered.
