** ''FanFic/SpacedustAndChaosARequiem''. There's shagging going on but [[PurpleProse it's kind of hard to tell]].

** [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments You don't wanna be around when he starts writing with those....]]

* Used in ''Literature/FlowersForAlgernon'' in the sex scene between Charlie and Alice. It works, because it's used to show how different it is when he's with a woman he loves, than when he's just with a woman who enjoys sex.

* ''Literature/{{Twilight}}''.

* Jimbo's romance novels in ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent''.

* ''Fanfic/ForbidenFruitTheTempationOfEdwardCullen'': MANCARROT.

* In ''Film/LethalWeapon4'', Ebony Clarke's writing is this all the way, but it apparently sells very pleasure.

* {{Franchise/Nasuverse}} sex scenes are commonly a mild form of this (more so in ''{{Tsukihime}}'' than the later ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight''). Oddly, they're also written in first-person perspective...

* Implied in an episode of ''Series/TheNanny'', when Brighton looks up from a book he found lying around and asks: "Dad, what exactly are a persons loins, and how do you make them quiver?"

* Anne-Marie Villefranche's ''D'Amour'' series has this in spades. Imagining a totally incongruous voice narrating it, such as {{BRIAN BLESSED}}'s, makes it utterly hilarious.

* An early episode of ''{{Friends}}'' has Rachel attempt to write some ("Do you think his 'love stick' can be liberated from its 'denim prison'?"), inspired by Chandler's mother, who writes them professionally. [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar Luckily for the broadcasters]], she's a [[RougeAnglesOfSatin terrible speller]] so the others can openly mock her typos; the female character is apparently in possession of "heaving beasts", while the man at one point whips out his "huge throbbing pens".

-->-- [[IrregularWebcomic Irregular Podcast! #13]], "The Complete Works of Western Literature"

->''Overcome with his intense passion, Drake manfully thrust hard with his throbbing equipment, again and again, oblivious to the inevitable consequences of his actions and reveling in the sensual pleasure of using his electric toothbrush in a simple to and fro motion rather than brushing in small circles as his dentist had advised, and hoping that Cecelia would appreciate his minty fresh breath over dinner later that evening more than the damage he was doing to his enamel.''

* Parodied in ''DaveBarry's Guide to Marriage and/or Sex'':

* In Film/LethalWeapon 4, Ebony Clarke's writing is this all the way, but it apparently sells very pleasure.
--> ... "and the peaks of her pleasure rivalled those of the Himalayas"... have I ever made your pleasure rival the peaks of the Himalayas?

* Parodied in this ''TheRealGhostBusters'' story: ''[[http://cartoon.adultfanfiction.net/story.php?no=19897&chapter=2 Sweet Temptation]]''. [[spoiler:It turns out to be Slimer watching a cooking show.]]

* Implied in an episode of ''TheNanny'', when Brighton looks up from a book he found lying around and asks: "Dad, what exactly are a persons loins, and how do you make them quiver?"
* On an episode of {{QI}}, it is lamented that there are no attractive slang words for a woman's genitals. Until "twinkle cave" is suggested...
* In one episode of ''MysteryScienceTheater3000'', Mrs. Forrester gets sick and asks Crow to read to her from a book called "Love's Sweet Throbbing Gondola". He does, getting more and more uncomfortable with each sentence of the flowery sex scene he recites.

* [[ForbidenFruitTheTempationOfEdwardCullen MANCARROT.]]

This is becoming rare in real romances, which are beginning to eschew floweriness for [[DarkerAndEdgier harder-edged]] (and sometimes downright vulgar) prose. However, Mills and Boon Prose lives on in parodies, often used to invoke InnocentInnuendo. It also occurs in {{fictional document}}s as a form of StylisticSuck. Can involve AnatomicallyImpossibleSex.

* Erika Karisawa from ''{{LightNovel/Durarara}}'' doesn't just think like a slash fanfic - she thinks like one written entirely in PurpleProse.

* Parodied in Anne Bishop's ''Tangled Webs'', where Jaenelle is reading a bad romance novel and shows her husband a particularly purple passage. He responds, "Sweetheart, if my penis ever does that, you'll be the first to know. Not as my wife, but as a Healer."

The traditional way of handling sex in a RomanceNovel; PurpleProse to IKEAErotica's BeigeProse. Physical actions and sensations are conveyed via vague euphemisms or even overblown metaphors - while emotions are described in excessive, abstract PurpleProse. Often one suspects that the writer wishes ''he or she'' were participating in the scene. A sure sign that you've got one of these is when abstract nouns are used to refer to genitalia.
