Playing With / The Modest Orgasm

Go To

Basic Trope: When a woman is having an orgasm, it's rather quiet.

  • Straight: Bob gives Alice an orgasm, and she barely makes a sound.
  • Exaggerated: Alice not only doesn't make a sound when having sex, she barely moves, and her face doesn't change. If you pan to shoulders up, it can't even be told she's having sex, let alone having an orgasm.
  • Downplayed: Alice's orgasm is quiet, but not unnoticible quiet - some small moans and gasping.
  • Justified:
    • That's just the way Alice is.
    • She's not really having an orgasm.
    • They have roommates or children/the neighbours have complained, so Alice is holding back on purpose.
  • Inverted:
  • Subverted:
    • Alice looks by body language like she had an orgasm, so Bob finishes his business... then she comes loudly.
  • Double Subverted:
    • ... but it was fake, she had it before.
  • Parodied:
    • Coitus Uninterruptus during which Alice looks straight up bored.
    • Bob asks if Alice came and she says yes and compliments him in clear Blatant Lies. Bob doesn't get it.
  • Zig Zagged: ???
  • Averted:
    • Alice doesn't orgasm during sex.
    • The orgasm is actually done realistically.
  • Enforced: Alice is portrayed as a "pure girl", so she's shown as ladylike even in sex.
  • Lampshaded:
    • Bob asks if Alice came, Alice says "yes" honestly, and Bob comments he can never tell.
  • Invoked:
    • Alice comments that every woman is different, so some being quiet isn't abnormal.
  • Exploited: ???
  • Defied: ???
  • Discussed: ???
  • Conversed: ???
  • Deconstructed:
    • Bob mistakenly takes it as a sign that Alice doesn't enjoy sex with him and stops iniciating, putting a strain in the relationship.
  • Reconstructed:
    • Alice and Bob express what they think in a conversation and their sex life goes back to normal, quiet orgasms and all.
  • Implied: ???
  • Played For Laughs: Alice's quietness is talked about and treated as something regular... then we hear her voice coming from the neighbour's house
  • Played For Drama: Bob doesn't feels like Alice just can't orgasm with him, but like he's straight up forcing himself on her, leading to lots of self loathing.

Hm That's it, for real, I'm done
