Basic Trope: A character's medical problems are healed via intimacy.
- Straight: Alice and Bob have sex, and as a result, Bob's condition improves.
- Exaggerated: Alice and Bob have sex, and Bob, who was on the brink of death, has perfect health afterwards.
- Downplayed: Alice and Bob have sex, and while Bob still has to recover, his chances of doing so are much better now.
- Justified:
- Bob was suffering from Hypothermia; Alice's body was incredibly warm, so having sex allowed him to warm up.
- Bob had a migraine, and the endorphin kick killed the pain.
- Inverted: Alice and Bob have sex, but Bob's condition gets worse.
- Subverted: Alice and Bob have sex. Bob's health doesn't change.
- Double Subverted: His physical health, anyways. It does cause him to get over his mental hangups.
- Parodied: Bob goes from being seconds away from death to perfect health from having the slightest sexual contact with Alice.
- Zig Zagged: But then it turns out that Bob getting over his mental hangups is just an act...
- Averted: No one has medical or mental issues. Alternatively, no intimacy occurs.
- Enforced: ???
- Lampshaded: ???
- Invoked: It was previously stated that the medical problems can only be healed with intimacy.
- Exploited: Carol films it and makes a Lemon DVD out of this, earning heaps of money.
- Defied: ???
- Discussed: ???
- Conversed: ???
