Really Gets Around: Difference between revisions

 

[[Anything That Moves]] is a subtrope notorious in its [[Unfortunate Implications]] regarding bisexuals, and one of the few cases where a male character will typically be portrayed badly for it. [[Extreme Omnisexual]] is related, for characters that are ''more'' than bisexuals.

 

{{noreallife|All The Tropes is not a gossip site.}}

* [[Doctor Strange]] villain Umar, the sister and often partner of his [[Arch Enemy]] Dormammu. A temptress and vamp, it has been stated that Umar could likely use her dark magic to evolve herself into a nigh-omnipotent being of pure magic like he brother has, but seeing as it would mean she [[Cannot Have Sex Ever|Could Not Have Sex Ever]] if she did, she refrains from doing so. This has turned out badly for her, as her daughter from one of her seductions is Clea, now [[Archnemesis Dad| Umar's mortal enemy]] and Doctor Strange's lover.

* [[The Mighty Thor| Loki]] is this. In one [[Spider-Man]] story, the villain is a demon possessing a woman, the victim being one of Loki's daughters. When Spidey is surprised that Loki ''has'' a daughter, Loki admits he has ''hundreds''. "I'm a Norse god, it... happens." Clearly he's a lot like his mythological counterpart in this regard, who was also something of a rake.

 

== Fan Works ==

* In ''[[Beating the Heat]]'', Granny Smith reveals that she did this when she was young. {{spoiler|Also, Fluttershy when in heat.}}

* Ginny Weasley is frequently characterized this way by ''[[Harry Potter]]'' fanfic authors who do not like the character, based on the canon detail that she actually ''dated guys other than Harry''; not immediately falling into his arms (and only his arms) apparently qualifies her as a slut in their eyes.

C. over 1000 }}

* Diana Ladris from ''[[Gone (novel)]]'' states that she had this reputation before [[Teenage Wasteland|The FAYZ]], and implies that it was not wholly unfounded.

 

* [[Desperate Housewives|Edie Brit]]

* [[Absolutely Fabulous|Patsy Stone]], quintuple full stop.

{{quote|--> '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v{{=}}LhsY5XEqTWY IS THERE ANYONE IN ROME WHO HAS NOT SLEPT WITH MY DAUGHTER!!!]'''}}

* Lily Kane from ''[[Veronica Mars]]'' was known to have been in overlapping sexual relationships with at least three men in the months leading up to her murder. All three are suspects.

 

== Music ==

* K.T. Oslin's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHWMurX0Zf4 "This Woman"] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EA-TqZuuEA4 "You Can't Do That"].

 

* Freya, the goddess of love in the [[Norse Mythology]]. In at least two poems in the ''Poetic Edda'' is she called up on really sleeping around. To receive the Brisinga-necklace she slept with four dwarves for four nights. Loki even accuses her of sleeping with every god and elf in Valhalla, including her own brother. She's not just the goddess of love, but of fertility as well.

** Loki is, of course, a pathological liar and has his own history. He impregnates a female giant thrice, which results in Fenrir, Jormungandr and Hel. He [[Shapeshifting Squick|gets impregnated by a male]] horse, which results in Sleipner. He boasts about committing adultery with Tyr's wife and impregnating her. While he has a faithful wife all along.

** So he basically went [[Out with a Bang]] while doing it with 100 women at the same time? Now that's one feat I'd like to live up to.

*** Actually, many believe that, on his wedding night, he got a nosebleed and choked to death on his own blood. How's that for [[Incredibly Lame Pun|a death to live up to]]?

* Genghis Khan had so many wives and concubines (official and not so) that a good percent of those of Mongolian decent are thought to carry his DNA. He's actually considered to be the most genetically successful individual on the planet, with an estimated 16 million descendants today. There's also his and his sons' tendency to [[Rape, Pillage and Burn|rape captured women]].

* Catherine the Great. It's fairly well-documented that she slept with a good fifth of the Russian officer corps, and she ''always'' had a favorite.

* The backstory to the Dudley family of wrestlers: patriarch Big Daddy Dudley was a traveling salesman who really got around. All 12 Dudleys have him as a father, but all are from different mothers.

* Stephanie McMahon circa 2000-2002; when "married" to Triple H, it was insinuated (and sometimes outright said, with expected denial) that, as a way to rebel, she had relations with all men employed by [[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]] not named [[Nobody Over 50 Is Gay|Pat Patterson]] or [[Vince McMahon|McMahon]] (though in Vince's case, it wasn't for [[Parental Incest|lack of trying]]). Even kept it up when she reconciled with him, and really ramped it up when Triple H was injured and the [[Invasion]] began. Seemed to put it behind her when she became General Manager of [[Smack Down]]; however, humiliation by her father coupled with him forcing her to resign sent her into a relapse. Stephanie's promiscuous ways caught up with her in 2006, and she got pregnant with what turned out to be Triple H's child. This apparently sparked a reconciliation between the two.

* But the grand prize has to go to Vince McMahon himself. In the summer of 2007, he was slapped with a paternity suit on behalf of a woman whose identity was never revealed. It came out that he had fathered an illegitimate son, and for whatever reason neither the woman nor her attorney were coming forward to tell him exactly who this was. This drove Vince and his assistant Jonathan Coachman to desperately try to figure out who the woman was - a near-impossible feat, since Vince reluctantly revealed that he had engaged in his first sexual encounter when he was ''twelve'', and since that time had had relations with hundreds (if not thousands!) of women the world over, in various bizarre locations. As the weeks wore on, the task became much easier as it was revealed that Vince's bastard son was a WWE Superstar, which narrowed the field down to about five or six dozen individuals. Batista, Mr. Kennedy, and even The Boogeyman were all prominently put forward as candidates. (Snitsky set the record straight from the beginning, pointing out that ''his'' parents had been killed in an accident when he was a child.) It wasn't until the summer was nearly over that the world finally learned the truth: the mysterious offspring was {{spoiler|Hornswoggle, the "leprechaun" companion to the Irish wrestler Finlay!}} Triple H (who, being married to Stephanie McMahon, was {{spoiler|Hornswoggle's}} half-brother-in-law) thought this was hilarious, and drove Vince to distraction with his endless jokes about his having impregnated {{spoiler|a midget}}. ("Was she magically delicious?") Enraged at first, Vince gradually warmed up to the idea of having {{spoiler|Hornswoggle}} as a son, even booking him in high-profile matches. But then, early in 2008, WWE's [[Jerkass|resident bully]], John "Bradshaw" Layfield, launched an unprovoked attack on {{spoiler|Hornswoggle}}. When asked to account for himself, JBL explained that {{spoiler|Hornswoggle}} was actually {{spoiler|Finlay's}} son rather than Mr. McMahon's! It had all been an elaborate, eight-month-long prank perpetuated by {{spoiler|Finlay and Hornswoggle}}!

* [[CM Punk]], in real life, is said to be this.

** Played up by [[Randy Orton]] in completely tasteless fashion a few weeks ago in a radio guesting in Arizona - "There are lots of guys in the back that have ""method acted"" with Kelly." The IWC went nuts.

** YMMV, it was hardly that bad. Miz and Morrison were more disrespectful because they were heels, while Randy was like that in real life. As for Kelly, well... I believe the old saying is, "if it looks like a duck..."

 

== Radio ==

* In ''[[The Sims]] 2'', Romance sims have wants revolving around falling in love and "[[Unusual Euphemism|doing WooHoo]]" with as many other sims as possible. When Lifetime Aspirations were introduced, Romance sims could have lifelong goals such as "have twenty lovers at the same time" and "do WooHoo with fifty different sims". Pleasure sims, introduced in Night Life, also have shades of this with the "fifty First Dates" goal. There are also [[Self-Imposed Challenge|Self Imposed Challenges]] for the players revolving around the concept, such as the "Who's Your Daddy?" Challenge.

* Ditto from Pokémon are frequently used for breeding, due to their [[Voluntary Shapeshifting|Transforming]] abilities letting them breed with almost any non-legendary or non-baby.

 

== Web Comics ==

== Web Original ==

* There's a series of pictures of character known only as [[Wandering Minstrel|"The Bard"]] with his party of adventurers drawn by [https://web.archive.org/web/20160313084137/http://www.elfwood.com/u/andersson2/ Fredrick K. T. Anderson] (the author of ''[[Pawn]]''). The Bard "[[Improbable Species Compatibility|knocks up every critter in creation]]" (except elves, because in their case [[Elfeminate|he can't tell boys from girls]]), leading to [https://web.archive.org/web/20160329142008/http://www.elfwood.com/u/andersson2/image/4d134a30-23da-11e4-9fb0-6fd3a883da45/family-gathering this "Family gathering"] scene (and then more).

** Well, they say it's better the second time. They say you get to do the [[Head-Tiltingly Kinky|''weird'' stuff]].

** Though, given his personality, it may be less this trope and more that no woman can stand him long enough to sleep with him more than once.

 

== Western Animation ==

** Lois was apparently like this before meeting Peter.

** [[Interspecies Romance|And Brian]] who's had several one-off girlfriends throughout the series.

* Latrina of ''[[Bromwell High]]'' is this combined with [[Dumb Blonde]]. "They call me the Bike of the South!"

* Francine from ''[[American Dad]]'' was like this before meeting (and eventually marrying) Stan. She owns the largest "sex garden" in the world, containing a bush to represent every man she'd had sex with.

* It was implied that Blackfire on ''[[Teen Titans (Comic Book)|Teen Titans]]'' learned proper english this way, in contrast to Starfire who kissed Robin to learn basic English and a Japanese kid to learn Japanese. It was even more implied that the former planned on continuing that escapade with Robin, Beast Boy and Cyborg.

* [[Harley Quinn]]; despite originally labeled as a case of [[Single-Target Sexuality]], she's had an awful lot of lovers, boyfriends, [[Bi the Way| and girlfriends]], depending on the continuity. In addition to the "single-target" (that would be "Mistuh Jay") she's obviously slept with Poison Ivy in more than one version, probably had sex with Nightwing in ''[[Batman and Harley Quinn]]'', and possibly did so with [[Wonder Woman]] and [[Lobo]] in ''[[Harley Quinn: Little Black Book]]'', where she also displayed a crush on [[Green Lantern]]. She had a boyfriend named Mason Macabre in her own series, and slept with Deadshot in ''[[Batman: Assault on Arkham]]''. One man she may have truly loved was Colonel Rick Flag in the comic book version ''[[Suicide Squad]]'', although sadly, while the feeling seemed mutual, their relationship was cut off by his [[Heroic Sacrifice]]. She's flirted with [[Batman]] in both his identities, but that never got beyond a kiss. She's even shared a rather long kiss with [[Screw Yourself| an alternate version of herself]], again in ''Little Black Book''. Red Tool, another recurring character from her solo series (a parody of [[Deadpool]]) is clearly in love with ''her'', but in this case, she doesn't seem interested - yet.
