* ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol2'': [[GeniusLoci Ego]] is a millions-year old Celestial that's able to manifest a RemoteBody to interact with other worlds. He invokes his first purpose [[BoldlyComing to mate with whatever race he comes across]] and sired thousands of children, with Star-Lord's mother being the only one he ever loved. This isn't just to get his rocks off; [[spoiler:it's revealed that he needed to sire someone else with Celestial genes to complete his AssimilationPlot of the rest of the universe. Peter was the first one to meet his standards, and the rest [[OffingTheOffspring he killed]] and buried enough bones to fill a cave.]]

** ''Franchise/XMen'': Franchise/{{Wolverine}} may not literally be immortal, but with a potent HealingFactor [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld and looking like he's 30 despite being a super-centenarian]] he might as well be. He's also hit it off with dozens of women over the decades [[KavorkaMan despite being a grumpy, short and hairy Canadian]]. One of his villains manages to gather a bunch of illegitimate children of his to emotionally break him by tricking Logan to [[OffingTheOffspring off his offspring]].

** ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'': ComicBook/RasAlGhul is ''literally'' ReallySevenHundredYearsOld, thanks to the Lazarus Pits. In that time he's had lots of kids from lots of different women, though regards none of them worthy of being his heir.

If an immortal is focused on a romantic or platonic relationship, it's a case of MayflyDecemberRomance and MayflyDecemberFriendship. Compare ImmortalityBisexuality, where eternal life encourages the immortal to swing both ways. It may result in the character being a LivingDistantAncestor to many people. It may also be why LivingForeverIsAwesome.

** Bast is [[FaunsAndSatyrs faunlike]], at least 150 years old, and dedicated to living according to his own desires, which, while he and Kvothe are holed up in Newarre, largely means trying his luck with almost every adult woman in town.
** The TimeAbyss WorldsMostBeautifulWoman Felurian passes the centuries by taking mortal lovers, who invariably either go OutWithABang or literally go insane with desire for her after she tires of them - not out of any malice, but her odd nature. Kvothe is the exception.

** The Eternals are a superhuman race that possess virtual immortality. Of them, Eros aka Starfox is a carefree and fun-loving womanizer who's LivingAphrodisiac, contrasting his nihilstic brother ComicBook/{{Thanos}}. Thanos used to get around in his youth, though to find some sort of satisfaction in love rather than simply trying to get his rocks off.

** The Norse gods are also prone to flings with mortals. Many of these Norse demigods, such as Magnus, end up joining Hotel Vahalla after their deaths as einherjar. Like their Greek counterparts, several figures in history and folklore, such as John Henry, derive their talents from their godly parent.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'': Yivo is an immortal EldritchAbomination [[TimeAbyss who was already a trillion years old]] when the universe began, eventually being able to contact it after a RealityBreakingParadox tears a wound in reality connecting to [[OtherworldlyAndSexuallyAmbiguous shkler]] universe. The first thing shklee does is use shkler tentacles to mate with every sentient organic in the universe(except Leela) and for a time has a polygamist relationship with the 20 quadrillion inhabitants.

** Eos, Goddess of Dawn was also famous for her unquenchable libido. With one of her favorite pass times being kidnapping young men and keeping them as lovers regardless of [[DoubleStandardRapeDivineOnMortal if they were unwilling or already married]], only freeing them when their protests and longing for homes and wives started grating on her nerves. Unlike Zeus she actually has a reason; Aphrodite cursed her with an ExtremeLibido.

If the ImmortalProcreationClause in effect, that may encourage them to have as much sex without worrying about children (asides from when STDImmunity is subverted), or they may just be irresponsible and potentially father/mother hundreds of kids over hundreds-thousands of years..undoubtedly leading to a TangledFamilyTree and them being a LivingDistantAncestor. If LamarckWasRight, then they might end up founding a SocietyOfImmortalsmade of descendants.

If they're not [[WhoWantsToLiveForever angsting about it]], [[{{Immortality}} immortal characters]] have a lot they could do with the potentially infinite time on their hands. Maybe try to live a normal life, maybe shape the world as a whole, they can really get around. And some get around [[ReallyGetsAround in a much more carnal sense]]. Apparently being unable to die ups your libido, as these immortals tend to have a lot more partners in one lifespan than most, with countless other lifespans to spare. Because the MayflyDecemberRomance will almost certainly end in tragedy, the immortal wants to have quick flings to avoid heartbreak. Perhaps they already got around, it's just that immortality gives them much more advantage.

While VampiresAreSexGods is about the vampire's sex appeal, the immortality that comes with it might be why they seek out people.
