If they can have sex with it, they will. This character has nonexistent or remarkably low standards ''within the borders of their species and orientation's NORMAL sexual interest pool''. They can be hetero, gay, or bi. This trope doesn't mean they're willing to lay children, animals, or inanimate objects; it means that things like age, personality and attractiveness restrict them much less than the average person. Such a character may get around a lot, but not necessarily; sometimes, it just that their standards are low.

Not to be confused with [[Shoot Everything That Moves]]—though with some people, you never know. The male version is almost always a [[Kavorka Man]] or [[Casanova Wannabe]]; the female version formidable enough to be off-putting to the less experienced members of the cast, except in anime. Then she's a [[Lovable Sex Maniac]].

== Anime &and Manga ==
* Professor Ryoto of ''[[Wild Life]]''.
* Itou Makoto of the ''[[School Days]]'' franchise has officially qualified for this trope as of the recently release ''Cross Days'' sequel in the game series; lets see what he likes to mate with: pretty girls his age? Check. Their [[Hot Mom|beautiful young mothers]]? Check. Their [[Lolicon|Seven]] [[Squick|year]] [[Older Than They Look|old-looking]] little sisters?. Double Check. [[Wholesome Crossdresser|Adorable young BOYS]] who are [[Stupid Sexy Flanders|just as beautiful]] if not more so [[Boys Love Genre|than his girlfriend(s)]]? ''Triple'' Check. Thank goodness the only things he hasn't shown sexual interest in yet are farm animals, senior citizens and week-old corpses... yet.
Line 22 ⟶ 20:
* Yuki in ''[[Gravitation]]'' apparently qualified before he started dating Shuichi, but [[Take Our Word for It|we only hear of it]].
** His younger brother Tatsuha isn't any better. And he's about 16 years old.
* Futana from ''[[Futaba-Kun Change!|Futaba Kun Change]]''. She even seems to include her [[Brother-Sister Incest|younger brother]] in the "anything".
** ''Especially'' him, though it may just be teasing.
* Pamila from ''[[Bondage Fairies]]''. Male fairies, female fairies, small mammals, insects, ''slugs''...

== ComicsComic Books ==
* Bueno Excellente, part of the disturbing and disturbed hero team "Section 8" in ''[[Hitman (Comic Book)|Hitman]],'' "defeats evil with the power of perversion." He may have drugged and raped the Green Lantern.
** He definitely raped Lobo.
*** And ''married'' him.
* Cherry Poptart of ''[[Cherry Comics]]''.
* ''[[Daken]]'': Wolverine's son hasn't finished a single episode of his comic{{when}} without seducing or sleeping with somebody, usually killing them as well.
** Interestingly, [[Word of God]] is that Daken's asexual; he's not interested in it, personally, but uses sex as a tool of manipulation and emotional torment.
* One of [[Deadpool|Deadpool's]]'s clients was an aristocrat who was turned on by ''everything''. Deadpool quizzed him extensively on this.
** If this was the guy whose panty collection was robbed, then it was Agent X, not Deadpool.
* ''[[The Desert Peach]],'' a comic about Erwin Rommel's gay younger brother (no really), has the Peach's boyfriend, Rosen Kavalier, be a guy who'll do anything to anything (although he didn't realize he was into males until he met Pfirsich Rommel).
* ''[[The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen]]: Black Dossier''. To be specific, its "Tijuana bible" insert, which relates the continuing... er... ''adventures'' of Fanny Hill.
* ''[[Ramba]]''.
* According to the ''[[The Authority|Midnighter]]'' series, everyone will be like this [[Everyone Is Bi|in the future.]] They don't even have the concepts of heterosexual and homosexual.
{{quote|'''Midnighter''': So, in the future, everybody just does everybody with no classifications?
'''Time Cop''': That's about the size of it. }}
* Shatterstar has developed into this in the new series of ''[[X-Factor (comics)|X-Factor]]''.
* ''[[Tomorrow Stories]]'': Cobweb.
 
 
Line 94 ⟶ 92:
 
== Literature ==
* A number of characters from Jacqueline Carey's ''[[Kushiel's Legacy|Kushiels Legacy]]'' books fit this trope - almost inevitably, considering [[Everyone Is Bi]] and the books centre around a country that, shall we say, puts a high priority on sex. The most glaring example is probably Mavros Shahrizai, who seems to view everyone around him over the age of consent as a potential bed-partner. Also, he's kinky.
** And then, in the newest book, there is Moirin mac Fainche. So far, in the first book alone, she has gone to bed with {{spoiler|a British tribal prince; a stableboy; the consort to the Queen of Terre D'Ange; the Queen of Terre D'Ange; the Prince of Terre D'Ange; a Chinese martial artist; the future Empress of China- when she was possessed by a dragon; and the future Empress of China, when she was NOT possessed by a dragon.}} She is a busy, busy woman.
* Moon Boy from Barry Hughart's ''[[Bridge of Birds|Chronicles of Master Li and Number Ten Ox]]''. At one point the group is threatened by a demon... which Moon Boy immediately seduces. This character also falls under [[Even the Guys Want Him]].
* The Dornish in [[George R. R. Martin|George RR Martin]]'s ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'' have a reputation for this, and it's certainly true of Oberyn Martell and Ellaria Sand.
* [[Everyone Is Bi|Nearly all]] of de Sade's characters male and female, the majority of whom, with the arguablyarguable exception of ''Philosophy in the Bedroom'', are by any sane standard very ''sadistic'' as well.
* ''[[Ramayana]]'': Ravana's proclivity for hitting on anything that moves and kidnapping the wives of his enemies as well as trying to rape the daughters of sages like Vedavati, never mind kidnapping Sita comes to bite him.
* ''[[The Pilfered Princess]]'': Princess Sarah, whose promiscuity is what gets her kidnapped in the first place.
Line 105 ⟶ 103:
* The Zeltrons are a species of pink-skinned near-human empaths in the [[Star Wars Expanded Universe]] for whom this trope is pretty much [[Planet of Hats|a societal norm]]...
* In ''Native Tongue'' - one of [[Carl Hiaasen]]'s Florida comedy-thillers - a local Glades theme park (run by a scumbag) bought Orky the sexually-frustrated killer whale as an ill-thought-out visitor attraction. Orky attempts pelagic-style loving with pretty much any warm body that enters his tank: these wet and warm bodies include a local TV reporter doing a live segment and the park's roided-out Head of Security (whom Orky found endlessly irresistible...).
* Fitz, from the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' ''[[Eighth Doctor Adventures]]''. He ogles a surprisingly large range of things that move, including thirteen-year-old girls (he [[I'm Going to Hell For This|cut it out]] in both cases after discovering their age), [[Likes Older Women|women more than twenty years older than him]], [[Ho Yay|the Doctor]]... He's shagged [[Human Alien]]s and a woman possibly [[Tiny Guy, Huge Girl|a whole foot taller than him]], and has a [[Temporary Love Interest]] or [[Girl of the Week]] in almost every book. And [[Fetish|he apparently got off]] on being stripped and collared by [[Talking Animal|space poodles]]. He's implied to be bi beyond his crush on the Doctor, too.

* Owen Harper from ''[[Torchwood]]'', being cruel, destructive and [[Kavorka Man|kavorkaish]], at least in the first season.
* In one episode of ''[[Extras]]'', Andy Millman gets to meet his odious fanbase in person, one who rejoices in the nickname "Count Fuckula". Why? "Because if I see something, I've ''got'' to fuck it."
Line 123 ⟶ 119:
* [[Spell My Name with a "The"|The]] Todd from ''[[Scrubs]]'', [[Flanderization|beginning in season 5]]. It has long been a mystery if he was gay, with countless references to it, until "My Lunch", where it was eventually revealed that he's just "The Todd". (Meaning the embodiment of this trope)
{{quote|'''Todd:''' What? The Todd appreciates hotness, regardless of gender.}}
** Not ''exactly'', as it has been shown that he's more of aan "Anything, Regardless of Motion" kind of guy. Hint: The On-Call Room bed-humping scene.
*** Which lead to the great line "Sometimes when I am humping this mattress, I am thinking of that mattress."
{{quote|'''Todd:''' The Todd accepts all applicants, regardless of age or disability.}}
*** Please note when he said the above quote, [[Squick|He was talking about a very, very, old woman with gonorrhea, and he was very aware of this.]]
* Played straight—pardonstraight —pardon the pun—bypun— by Samantha Jones in ''[[Sex and the City]]''. Throughout the series, Samantha is all about virtually indiscriminate sex, typically with men. However, for a few episodes she becomes involved in a relationship with another woman. She also made it clear that she'd "done the girl thing before."
** The funniest part is that when she informs her friends that she's in a relationship with another woman, one of them says in disbelief "You're in a ''relationship''?"
* Kelly the Barmaid from ''[[Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps]]''. Amongst other things, she has come on to all but one of the main characters on several occasions, and she also has [[Likes Older Women|a penchant for the pub's elderly regulars]].
Line 141 ⟶ 137:
* On ''[[Smallville]]'', it was seemingly hinted that Tess Mercer might fit this trope. She repeatedly flirted with Lois (although Lois did not reciprocate). Upon first meeting Lois, [[It Makes Sense in Context|who was disguised as a maid at the time]], Tess walked up very close to her and asks "So you like to play dress-up, hm?" before rubbing the frills of Lois's maid costume. At the beginning of Season 9, after last seeing Lois when they got in a VERY [[Fan Service]]-y fight at the end of Season 8, [[Smallville/Ho Yay|Tess notes "When we last saw each other, things did get a little...''physical.''.....Would you like to pick up where we left off?"]]
** In addition, Tess is known to have been in a sexual relationship with Oliver sometime in the past, briefly hooked up with him again because "I had an itch, and I needed you to scratch it," lusts after the ([[Humanoid Aliens|effectively human]]) extraterrestrial [[Superman|Clark]] (even telling him in a deleted scene "You have to stop thinking of me as ''just'' your boss," with an eager smile on her face), stands stunned and can barely contain herself upon meeting the scantily-clad alien queen Maxima, and in Season 9 [[Boldly Coming|beds an (again, effectively human) alien overlord (Major Zod)]].
** On Earth-2, the alternate universe version of Tess was sleeping with Clark... [[Incest Is Relative|who in that reality was her adoptive brother]].
* Played with in ''[[The IT Crowd]]''. Hyper-sexual Douglas couldn't seem to care less when his date tells him that she used to be a man. They get into a serious relationship, but it turns out that he misheard her confession. When he learns the truth, he breaks it off immediately.

== Video Games ==
* A lot of female characters (including the player (optionally)) in ''[[ANeverwinter Dance With RoguesNights]]'' (module ''[[NeverwinterA NightsDance With Rogues]]'' module) fit this trope - optionally including the player.
* Excellen Browning of ''[[Super Robot Wars]]'' hits on Anything That Moves (except the [[Eldritch Abomination|Einsts]]... [[Naughty Tentacles|maybe]]?), but leaves it at that except in the case of her [[Single-Target Sexuality]]. She typically claims to be straight, but states she would [[If It's You It's Okay|make an exception]] for certain women. [[Fanon]], however, takes this to [[Bi the Way]] territory, occasionally making her the [[Seme]] in [[Ho Yay/Video Games|Les Yay]] scenarios.
* Raven from ''[[Tales of Vesperia]]''. Not only does he hit on Estelle and Judith he also hits on Yuri. "I've been on pins and needles since we got here, hold my hand!". Of course you could write this off as just joking around but... he really does hit on your entire party regardless of agesex, oralthough sexhe does admit that Rita is too young for him at one point, even if he does make the odd joke here and there. The same presumably goes for Karol, since he says nothing of the kind to him.
*** [[Ms. Fanservice|Judith]] ''possibly'' fits this trope. Mostly because she has no problem in showing off her body, flits with Yuri and Raven quite frequently, and even expresses a little disappointment in the [[PlayStationPlay Station 3]] version that Patty is crushing on Yuri and claims to be "taken" because of it. With Judith, it's much harder to tell if she's joking or not because she always sounds ''dead serious'' in everything she says. Even when she's [[Ax Crazy|suggesting getting eaten]] [[Blood Knight|by a monster and escaping]] [[Sociopathic Hero|by ripping her way]] [[Crazy Awesome|out of its stomach]].

Even when she's [[Ax Crazy|suggesting getting eaten]] [[Blood Knight|by a monster and escaping]] [[Sociopathic Hero|by ripping her way]] [[Crazy Awesome|out of its stomach]].
* ''[[The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind]]'' has Crassius Curio, a quest-giver and high-ranking member of House Hlaalu. Insists on calling the PC things like "dumpling" or "pumpkin pie," no matter the gender, and his first order is to see you naked. However, it's largely implied [[Chivalrous Pervert|nothing ''really'' happens...]]
* Legault from ''[[Fire Emblem Elibe]]: Blazing Sword''. If you get A support with Isadora he hits on her. If you get A support with Heath he hits on him. Or perhaps he's just got a thing for knights—either way it's possible he wants in both of their pants.
* In ''[[Mass Effect 2]]'', Shepard is able to romance most if not all of the crew. Several of them have rather strong feelings about Shepard as well. Other characters have even broader pools.
* ''[[Pokémon|Ditto.]]'': Ditto is implied to be this. It's never shown of course (Pokemon- ''Pokémon'' is G-rated, after all), - but the only PokemonPokémon Ditto can't breed with are [[Olympus Mons|legendaries]] (insans fairness,Manaphy legendaries(for can'treasons breed at allof keepkeeping them unique) sans Manaphy, baby [[Shotacon|Pokemon]], and - for some strange reason, - Nidorino and Nidoqueen. Every other Pokemon left with Ditto will eventually lead to an egg, regardless of gender ([[No Biological Sex|including the lack of one]]) or [[Improbable Species Compatibility|egg group]] (including one Pokemon family [[Fridge Horror|that was]] [[But You Screw One Goat!|once]] [[Was Once a Man|human.]]) It doesn't help [[Memetic Molester|Ditto's]] [[Memetic Sex God|reputation]] that [[Power Perversion Potential|it can transform]] [[What the Hell, Player?|and that the player leaves it in the breeding centre.]]
* In ''[[Guilty Gear]]'', many of Elphelt's moves seem to suggest she's trying to convince (or force) her opponent to marry her, and she'll gladly use these moves [[Bi the Way|on other women]], part-Gear opponents, parasites, vampires, or even [[Sibling Incest|her own sister]]. In fact, if she's on the receiving end of [[Mirror Match|another Elphelt's finisher]], she'll sob [[Screw Yourself|"I-I'll take ''anyone!''"]]
 
* Moxxi from ''[[Borderlands]]''. If some graffiti can be believed, she's even slept with bandits.
* In ''[[MadWorld]]'', Deathwatch [[Combat Commentator]] Howard "Buckshot" Holmes is a pervert whose sexual partners, by his own admission, include (but are not limited to): several prostitutes, an onion, an alien, a donkey, and a dwarf ([[Noodle Incident|the last two at the same time]]). He was married at least once, but if anything his ex-wife was just as bad.
 
== Web Comics ==
* Zig-Zag from ''[[Sabrina Online]]''.
** Inverted in [http://www.sabrina-online.com/strips/SabOnline564.GIF this strip], and then [[Played for Laughs]] in the [http://www.sabrina-online.com/strips/SabOnline565.GIF immediately-following strip], both part of {{spoiler|Zig-Zag's revenge on the users who badmouthed her in online chat}}.
* Konstantin of ''[[Tsunami Channel]]''. Summed up nicely in [http://www.tsunamichannel.comsakura.ne.jp/index.php?date=2001-10-15&comic=ExCoKo this strip]. He's more [[Casanova Wannabe]]/[[Handsome thanLech]] thethan [[Kavorka Man]] though.
* Alisin in ''[[Fans]]'', who moved away from this as she developed.
* Volair from ''[[Umlaut House]]'' {{spoiler|before settling down with Saundra}}. Ironically, twenty years later, [[Distaff Counterpart|''Amanda's'']] the one in an open marriage.
Line 184 ⟶ 181:
{{quote|[http://keychain.patternspider.net/archive/koc0185.html Define "people"].}}
* Nils from ''[[Platinum Grit]]'', who's forever picking up anonymous men and may or may not have had a lesbian relationship with Kate in the backstory. She'll sleep with anything. Well, except Jeremy.
* Originally Monette from ''[[Something *Positive]]'' was kind of like this—an apparently-straight girl who inexplicably thought she was a lesbian, and once had sex with a (male) koala. More recently she is portrayed as a (much more stable) bisexual woman in a committed relationship with another woman.
* [[Space Moose]], with the added issue that he was rather prone to [[Double Standard Rape (Male on Male)|raping men. Frequently.]] [[Victim Falls For Rapist|Including his friends.]] [[With Friends Like These...|Especially his friends.]] [[Dude, She's Like, in a Coma|Particularly Marlo.]]
* Zii and Matt from ''[[Ménage à 3]]''.
* Tomato (and to a lesser degree, Gloog) from ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20200313130906/http://www.agameoffools.com/ A Game of Fools]''.
* Nitrine from ''[[Flaky Pastry]]''.
* Joel of ''[[Concession]]'' is this trope (along with [[Depraved Bisexual]]) personified. He's screwed pretty much every other recurring character that likes men, and [[Noodle Incident|supposedly]] he once slept with a [[But You Screw One Goat!|feral dog.]]
Line 195 ⟶ 192:
* Mona, Frida's coworker, from ''[[Love and Tentacles]]''. She managed to have a threeway with two gay guys.
* Eridan Ampora from ''[[Homestuck]]'', due to his increasing desperation, has stopped regarding gender, species, and crippling sociopathy as downsides to a potential romantic partner. Of course, [[Everyone Is Bi|all trolls are bi regardless]] as [[Bizarre Alien Reproduction|their genders have nothing to do with reproduction]].
** His dancestor, Cronus, is even more desperate and pathetic to the point of creepiness. He claimes himself to be a suave man and styles himself like a 50's greaser, but talking with his friends reveals that everybody tries to avoid his sorry ass due to the guy not having internalized the concept of consent.
* Denmark from ''[[Scandinavia and The World]]'' has shades of this:
{{quote|'''Denmark:''' I wanna bang a sheep too! Why haven't I banged a sheep yet, Sweden?}}
** And in [https://satwcomic.com/no-surprise a later strip]:
{{quote|'''Denmark:''' Hello there, sexy lady. Can I buy you a cocktail?
'''Thailand:''' Before you go any further, you should know I'm not Sister Thailand. I'm ''Brother'' Thailand.
'''Denmark:''' Oh. ''<nowiki>[</nowiki>[[beat]]<nowiki>]</nowiki>'' So... are you trying to tell me you'd rather I'd buy you a beer?}}
* Drip, the incarnation of [[Seven Deadly Sins|Lust]] in ''[[Jack (webcomic)|Jack]]'', is this to [[Depraved Bisexual|anything that doesn't move fast enough to escape]].
* [[Hooker with a Heart of Gold|Diana]] from ''[[College Roomies from HellCRFH]]!!!''
{{quote|'''[http://crfh.net/d/20040525.html Marsha]''': "Hey, Diana? Would you come? / I mean HERE. / No, it's just that April's sick, and I could use the company. / For the last time, this is not about sex."}}
* In ''[[Spacetrawler]]'', Dimitri, a human, will sleep with anything his approxiscan says is 50% sexually compatible or higher. He's only been shown chasing females, but their [[Bizarre Alien Biology]] often means the audience can't tell the difference between male and female anyway.
* In ''[[Jet Dream (webcomic)|Jet Dream]]'', while every T-Girl (except for man-crazy Petite) shows some interest in both men and women after her sex change, teen T-Girl Cookie Jarr is an especially enthusiastic bisexual. She loves to dance, and [[G-Rated Sex|will Twist with boys, and Frug with girls!]]
 
 
== Web Original ==
* ''[[Orderly Chaos]]'' has Lew Carrellan, the microchip-enhanced megastud with a heart of what is probably mostly gold.
* ''[[Tales of MU]]'' offers up at least three.:
** Amaranth, a nymph who [[Love You and Everybody|loves everyone]]. Passionately.
** Steff, a half-elf [[Wholesome Crossdresser]]... going by a very, very loose (pun not intended) definition of "wholesome".
** Amaranth's sister Barley, [[Love Makes You Evil|who kinda has problems with rejection]]. Think of her as a [[Psycho Lesbian]] who also sleeps with guys.
* [http://colorshock.blogspot.com/2009/04/our-feverish-dance.html This chapter] of ''[[Color ShockColorshock]]'' seems to imply that Darc is one of these on occasion.
* From ''[[Professor Brothers]]'' there are the citizens of Sodom and Gomorrah who as expected are sex fiends. However it goes beyond that to the point where they have sex with rocks painted to look like God's face.
* Rosa Fiametta from ''[[Survival of the Fittest]]'' is perfectly willing to hit on anybody she considers attractive. Once, when she discovered the girl she was flirting with was straight, Rosa transitioned seamlessly to flirting with the ''other'' girl she was talking to.
Line 217 ⟶ 218:
* ''[[The Guild]]'': Fawkes will try anything at least once.
* [[The Spoony Experiment|The Spoony one]]. Two episodes of "Spooning with Spoony", one with [[The Nostalgia Chick]] and [[That Guy With The Glasses|That Chick In The Goggles]] (and Benzaie) one with [[The Nostalgia Critic]], [[The Angry Joe Show|Angry Joe]] and Bennett the Sage.
* In ''[[Darwin's Soldiers|Darwins Soldiers]] Gustave has [https://web.archive.org/web/20140208165941/http://z7.invisionfree.com/thegangoffive/index.php?showtopic=7319&view=findpost&p=9214689 this to say] about Roux.
{{quote|'''Gustave:''' She likes to have sex. Lots of it. In every possible place, every conceivable position, any number of partners.}}
* ''[[The Tandy Arena]]'' has it's own Rette who will frequently hit on the people she's fighting, to the point where she turned a tournament final into a makeout session.
