== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]''. Sousuke is a [[Chaste Hero]] who is [[Virginity Makes You Stupid|obviously a virgin]] and doesn't understand anything about sex. And then to contrast, there are the villains from Amalgam who have a ''huge'' array of [[Nightmare Fetishist|weird kinks and depraved tendencies]]. [[Stalker with a Crush|Gauron]], a [[Interplay of Sex and Violence|sadomasochistic]], [[Depraved Bisexual]] [[Shotacon|pedophile]] and necrophiliac who displays most of these kinks towards [[Foe Yay|Sousuke]]. Gates, [[Ax Crazy]] [[Lolicon]] rapist who masturbates to animal nature videos (and is very likely a necrophiliac as well, though not as explicitly stated). And the [[Twincest|Twincesty]] [[Creepy Twins]] Xia Yu Fan and Xia Yu Lan, who most likely [[Wife Husbandry|had something going on with Gauron]] and are shown to be rather promiscuous (with them seducing the AS repairmen in Amalgam). Even the villainous female scientist who only had a small part in the beginning has depraved kinks. In the novels, she's shown to [[Too Kinky to Torture|enjoy Gauron strangling her as much as he does]]. He even [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades]] it by mocking her with amusement. To go further, even [[Romantic False Lead|Leonard]] is not exempt from this - in the novels, when he's first mentioned, he's shown to be a rather loose playboy that sleeps around. Over the phone, he's heard to have had sex with a woman with a high nasal voice.
* ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'', with its focus on adolescence and pathology, broadly hints at this trope more than once. In particular, the [[Mind Screw]] collage in ''End of Evangelion'' includes a shot of Shinji screaming while the word "SEX" flashes across his face.
* It's difficult to tell whether ''[[Speed Grapher]]'' is anti-sex or just anti-fetish, but it's definitely anti-something. How healthy a relationship is tends to be inversely proportional to how sexual it is, and all but one sexual fetish in the series either requires killing or mutilating people, or leads to killing or mutilating people (sometimes for no apparent reason, as when the tattoo fetishist kills the girl he's dating.)
Line 61:
* One of the more frequent knocks on ''[[CSI]]'' is that this is pretty much how any sex practices outside of the norm come off.
** One significant exception is Lady Heather, a dominatrix who is consistently portrayed as a mentally balanced and sympathetic character. She even develops a friendship and possibly has a brief romantic relationship with Grissom. {{spoiler|Later she nearly kills the man who murdered her daughter}}, but this is not really related to her sexuality.
* This would seem to be the 'moral' being raised in ''[[American Gothic]]'', unsurprising for a show where the [[Big Bad]] is essentially [[Satan]], known for using lust as his primary weapon. Not only does Selena spread her legs at the drop of a hat for Buck (or to corrupt Ben, or Dr. Peele, or...), but Buck himself seduces Gail into a cringing [[Distressed Damsel in Distress]], it was his rape of Mrs. Temple [[In the Blood|that started everything]], and even Merlyn's [[I Just Want to Be Normal|desire for a normal life]] (complete with a love interest) almost costs an innocent baby its life and leads her to suicide and a return as an [[Well-Intentioned Extremist|avenging angel]]. Oh, and when Buck corrupts the wife of a hospital orderly with a magic mirror, what's the first thing she does? [[The Vamp|Turn on the seductive charm]].
* [[Joss Whedon]] did this so much in the early seasons of ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'', in the fourth season he made an episode that was all about subverting it: "Where the Wild Things Are" was dedicated to exploring a haunted house that punished people for sexual activity.
** What's weird is that he expressly says in interviews and the DVD commentaries that he created the character Buffy to subvert this (well, the trope of the blonde girl always being killed off in horror films, but he considers the death = punishment for having sex is a part of that trope).
