rdfs:comment
  • Basic Trope: A character can, for some reason over another, never have sex. * Straight: Bob is the victim of an ancient curse that will kill him if he ever has sex. * Exaggerated: The curse will activate if he ever has sex, gets aroused, or even thinks about sex. * Downplayed: * Bob's curse will activate if he has sex more than once a day. * The ancient curse preventing Bob from having sex is being bald and overweight * Justified: Prior to being cursed, Bob was a rapist. The curse was the perfect way to teach him a lesson. * Inverted: The curse will activate unless Bob has sex every day. * Subverted: Bob has sex and there is no consequence... * Double Subverted: ...however, he didn't release, so the technical requirement of the curse wasn't fulfilled.

  • Basic Trope: A character can, for some reason over another, never have sex. * Straight: Bob is the victim of an ancient curse that will kill him if he ever has sex. * Exaggerated: The curse will activate if he ever has sex, gets aroused, or even thinks about sex. * Downplayed: * Bob's curse will activate if he has sex more than once a day. * The ancient curse preventing Bob from having sex is being bald and overweight * Justified: Prior to being cursed, Bob was a rapist. The curse was the perfect way to teach him a lesson. * Inverted: The curse will activate unless Bob has sex every day. * Subverted: Bob has sex and there is no consequence... * Double Subverted: ...however, he didn't release, so the technical requirement of the curse wasn't fulfilled. * Parodied: Bob is a Catholic priest, but still complains at every opportunity about the curse. * Deconstructed: The inability to have sex eventually takes an emotional and mental toll on Bob, as he's not asexual and really misses it. * Reconstructed: He finds a way to lift the curse. * Zig Zagged: * The curse comes and goes; sometimes it is in effect, other times not. * The curse only activates if Bob has sex with a woman who's an inch or more shorter than him... on a Tuesday. On Wednesdays, it'll activate if he so much as thinks about having sex, and other days of the week tend to have their own unusual variations. * Averted: Bob's life of celibacy is not the result of a curse. * Enforced: "We're not allowed to show sex in this work, but we can show a guy who really wants it but can't have it!" * Lampshaded: "Well, we're alone in this hotel room with nothing to do..." "Stupid curse..." * Invoked: After Bob hurts her feelings, Alice casts the anti-sex curse on him. * Defied: "Screw the curse. I need some lovin'." * Discussed: "We can't steal that gold from the ancient Egyptian temple. We'll get cursed and then we can't have sex ever or we'll die." * Conversed: "Why didn't I pay attention to that movie about anti-sex curses! Now I've been cursed too!"
