Basic Trope: Having sex with a committed partner after being sexually aroused by somebody else.
- Straight: Bob gets aroused at the beach after seeing Cassie in a bikini, and when he goes home he has sex with his wife Alice.
- Exaggerated:
- Bob suffered from crippling impotence after a bad football game, but he is cured after seeing Cassie have a Wardrobe Malfunction.
- Cassie causes birth rates to spike wherever she goes, given the very sight of her causes couples to jump into the sack.
- Downplayed: Bob becomes more affectionate with his wife Alice, after witnessing Cassie flirt with her husband Daniel.
- Justified:
- Cassie is extremely beautiful.
- Aroused though he may be, Bob is a dedicated husband.
- Inverted: Bob sees Cassie bend over to pick up the newspaper ... and he never wants to have sex again.
- Subverted: Bob sees an attractive red haired woman sunbathing at the beach and is aroused. The woman turns out to be his wife Alice (wearing a red wig to cover a bad haircut), and when she notices him she invites him over to have sex right then and there.
- Double Subverted: Bob didn't know it was Alice.
- Parodied: ???
- Deconstructed: ???
- Reconstructed: ???
- Zig Zagged: ???
- Averted: ???
- Enforced: ???
- Implied: Bob usually uses viagra or similar substances when sleeping with Alice, but ever since Cassie moved to the neighborhood Bob has ceased needing them.
- Lampshaded: ???
- Invoked: Alice tells Bob she doesn't care if he gets turned on by other women as long as he only sleeps with her.
- Exploited: Alice is married to Bob as part of an arranged marriage, and while she loves Bob as a person she is only sexually attracted to women. So when she learns that Cassie arouses Bob, Alice works out an arrangement that allows them both to have sex with Cassie.
- Defied: Bob gets aroused by Cassie, instead of acting on it he tries to repress it with fasting and prayer.
- Discussed: ???
- Conversed: ???
- Deconstructed: ???
- Reconstructed: ???
- Played for Laughs: ???
- Played for Drama:
- While having sex with Alice, Bob accidently calls out Cassie's name. This upsets Alice and puts a strain on the marriage.
- Bob doesn't stop thinking about Cassie after sleeping with Alice once, and soon is thinking about her all the time. Eventually Bob actually has an affair with Cassie.
