History Main / GladToBeAliveSex

* In ''WickedCity'': Makie and Taki after a Black World extremist ambush nearly kills them both.

* In SergeyLukyanenko's ''Seekers of the Sky'' duology, based on Helena's (a glider pilot) stories, this seems to be true whenever several pilots survive a crash-landing or a near-miss. This is considering that most of the pilots are male, with Helena being a rare exception. This lifestyle helps her develop a cavalier attitude towards sex. In her first appearance, the main character (a thief) kidnaps her and forces her to fly him from a prison island. After crash-landing, he is badly hurt. Does she run away immediately? No, she has sex with him before leaving "to work out the aching muscles."

Sometimes overlaps with LastMinuteHookup, particularly in one shot works. StandardHeroReward is a LighterAndSofter version of this. [[YouDontWantToDieAVirginDoYou You Don't Want to Die A Virgin, Do You?]] occurs when they decide not to risk not surviving. See also IntimatePsychotherapy. SexIsGood is the supertrope that allows this one to make sense.

* Disturbingly enough, many writers that are [[MostWritersAreMale usually male]] will use this after a female character has been the target of an AttemptedRape. One Historical Fiction novel "Two Brothers" uses after a love interest has been rescued ''after'' being raped. "I feel so dirty....will you make me clean?"

* In RobertEHoward's ConanTheBarbarian story "Black Colossus" Yasmela insists on this.

This can actually take many forms. Perhaps TheSquad takes a town and decided to enjoy the "hospitality" of the grateful female population. If the setting is a little more politically correct then it shall be made perfectly clear the female members of the group are as glad to be alive as the men are and thus they shall be more likely to seek out each others' company. As a matter of fact, this more or less defines the sex life of any BattleCouple that has gone all the way; it may constitute their RelationshipUpgrade to a BattleCouple. Many an ActionGirl has become an ActionMom in the immediate aftermath of such a situation. May, in fact, lead to BabiesEverAfter. Can also be one of the attractions of InHarmsWay. On a more disturbing note, these notions are probably a reason behind the "rape" part of RapePillageAndBurn when a victorious army is marching into town.

* In ''HowIMetYourMother'', it's #26 on Lily's reasons to have sex other than love.

** There's a thousand.

* TruthInTelevision in relation to wars -- there seems to be a baby boom after every major conflict.
** Natural selection favors this behavior during and after a conflict: the more kids you have, the more likely your people are to survive the next war.

* In the {{DC Nation}} universe, [[http://community.livejournal.com/jla_watchtower/481353.html this]] and IntimatePsychotherapy happened between Beast Boy and Fauna after [[http://community.livejournal.com/jla_watchtower/tag/plague Ra's al Ghul's plague]]. Their altered, animal-based physiology left them ''completely immune'' to the plague's effects [[NightmareFuel while virtually everyone else was dying around them]], and one of the ingredients Ra's used in the plague was some of Gar's blood.

** Evolution favors this behavior during and after a conflict: the more kids you have, the more likely your people are to survive the next war.

* MrAndMrsSmith in the the epilogue at the end it's pretty clear that in [[spoiler: surviving trying to kill each other and their organizations gunning for them]], the titular couple's sex life has improved by leaps and bounds.
