All Women Are Lustful / Live-Action TV

Go To

  • On 7th Heaven, Lucy wants to have sex with her boyfriend to feel like he loves her, but he won't have sex with her. In the same episode Mary says that she wants to have sex but she doesn't want to let herself yet and their mother is constantly being sexual toward their father.
  • Baywatch: This is demonstrated during this scene in Part 1 of "The Trophy" with the teenage girls who admire Eddie.
  • Bedtime Stories which is about a bordello run by a madam named Belle (Kim Dawson) who helps women fulfill their sexual fantasies by pairing them with the gigolos she employs, exemplifying this Trope. Belle also has sex with the gigolos and the women who come to her. In the "No Names, Please" episode, Belle's client, Tania is looking for a man who wants a purely physical relationship. Belle tries out the guy herself in order to make sure he's right for Tania.
  • BOB ❤️ ABISHOLA: Gloria and Kemi openly talk about sex. Even Abishola, who appears quite prudish on the outside, has sexual dreams about Bob (before they are officially an item.)
  • Californication. You'd be hard-pressed to find a woman in LA who doesn't throw herself at Hank. Given his sex addiction, it's not exactly good news for him.
  • Any VH-1/MTV reality show that involves women trying to win "the heart" of some C list Celebrity.
  • This is demonstrated in the Dinosaurs episode "Wilderness Weekend", where Earl Sinclair and his friends go out hunting while Earl's wife Fran, her mother Ethyl, Monica DeVertebrae, and Sid Turtlepuss's wife stay at home. Because of a mix-up, Earl and his friends are stuck with coffee while the women are left with beer, which they end up drinking. After becoming inebriated, the women become a lot more open about their attraction to the opposite sex. Sid's wife admits that she only married her husband because he had a nice butt, the women spend some time watching sports programs to ogle at the male athletes, they eventually decide to come after Earl and the boys after figuring that they're probably wandering around naked and slapping each other with towels, and Fran makes several remarks toward Earl near the end of the episode that strongly imply she'd like to do the nasty with her husband soon.
  • The Steven Moffat era of Doctor Who falls in step with this a good bit, with most women, from main characters to recurring characters to one-offs making the presence of their sex drives and attractions quite obvious in their dialogue and actions, aimed not just at the Doctor, but at men in general. This was notably a major departure from the way women were portrayed in the Russell T Davies era (where Women Are Wiser and almost exclusively celibate in practice, if not outright chaste, even in the nature of their romantic affections).
  • The Enchanted Forest pub's 'queen of queens' in Galavant is definitely enjoying the half-naked Galavant in this number from the season two premiere. Possibly zigzagged trope as well, considering she's not only getting handsy with him herself, but presenting him to be ogled by the gay pub's patrons as well. The show also features Madalena, a queen with a huge sex drive who at one point sings about how she likes "getting randy with whoever is handy", and even the hero's love interest Isabella gets her moments, including some Eating the Eye Candy.
  • Girl Code: This is taken as a given, and part of the "girl code" is not letting guys realize how horny a girl is unless it's in her best interest.
  • The main characters in The Golden Girls, especially Blanche. Not so much Rose though.
  • Most of the girls on Gossip Girl show this to a degree. A recurring situation in the first season was that the guys Blair and Serena dated kept insisting on "waiting", whereas Blair and Serena both just wanted sex. Blair spends at least one episode a season trying to seduce/sleep with Chuck just because she wants sex. Also, Serena apparently considers a few weeks an impossibly long time to wait for sex. Since the boys are just as bad, it's really more like People Love Sex.
  • After showing this Hawaii News Now segment on the Spartan Race, we find out that the three female news anchors are distracted by the shirtless competitors.
  • How I Met Your Mother seems to run on this as well with Lily and Robin having really high sex drives, Lily's being even higher than her husband's. On her wedding day she even gets him to do it with her in a bathroom. She later even pulls off a female version of "the naked man" trick. She once said that if she didn't have Marshall, she'd be on the street "selling it for a nickel."
  • On an episode of Local Heroes an older brother lectures his sister that teenage boys are only after one thing. She cuts him off with a sarcastic "News flash - girls want it too." He can't get through his next statement without going back to the previous point. "Really? They do?!"
  • Lost Girl: This is not surprising given that the main character is a bisexual succubus with a supporting cast of women eager to be her one and only, both in life and in bed. Even the lady who shows the least skin on camera, Kenzi, is no prude by any stretch of the imagination.
  • The Man from U.N.C.L.E. is particularly strong in this regard. Women (and teenagers) who are not married, not over 60 (and not all of those) and not blatantly feminist are almost invariably (sometimes predatorily) interested in Napoleon, Illya or even Waverly.
    • Particularly egregious was the way Salty Oliver — the only woman on the show who annoys Napoleon enough to ask her to shut up — eventually set her sights on Napoleon in "The Ultimate Computer Affair".
    • Then there's the eugenics girl who was chasing Illya in The Cap and Gown Affair.
  • All three of the main female characters in Married... with Children qualify, even Straw Feminist Marcy, whose ex-husband, Steve, and current husband Jefferson once compared notes on who satisfied her better.
  • Many of the nurses in M*A*S*H, specially in the first couple of seasons.
    • Several of the female guest-of-the-week (Nance in "Henry in Love", visiting inspector in "House Arrest").
    • Initially most of the nurses, including "Hot Lips" were eager to please the men in the camp. Most of the doctors had girlfriends who were nurses, including Henry, Trapper, and Frank, who were all married. As the show progressed, the mood gradually changed. Henry was replace by Colonel Potter. Trapper was replaced by BJ. Frank was replaced by Winchester. Colonel Potter and BJ were both faithfully married men who were only rarely tempted to stray. By this time, Hawkeye was increasingly cynical, drinking heavily, and was starting to lose his grasp on reality. He'd also managed to develop a reputation for being a womanizer and soon found it nearly impossible to get a date with a nurse and had to choose from women who visited the camp.
    • Margaret also became less and less lustful as the series wore on. After a trip to Tokyo, she met and became engaged to Donald and stopped dating Frank. After her short-lived wedding to Donald, she still lusted after other men who visited the camp, but eventually stopped jumping every powerful man to visit the camp.
  • In The Office (US), nearly all of the female characters (including Angela!) have had sex in the office and several of them are pretty kinky at home too. Phyllis has shared steamy details about her sex life with Bob Vance, and Meredith is an alcohol-fueled sex machine.
  • On Passions, in these3scenes, we see this Trope in action when Theresa and Sheridan drag Ethan and Luis to the middle of the floor when the two pose as the male strippers who were hired for their bridal shower.
  • Playgirl TV is the Distaff Counterpart to the Playboy Channel and is the first adult channel to target women.
  • Most women (and several men!) in Rescue Me are falling all over themselves to sleep with a firefighter.
  • Hiba from Al Rawabi School For Girls tries to come on to Coach Taher by sending him nudes (he is disgusted), and also to another football player from the boy's school.
  • It is extremely hard to find a woman in Spartacus: Blood and Sand who does not fulfill this trope. Sybil comes the closest to averting it, and may in fact be the only one who does.
  • Star Trek goes here in a number of ways.
    • Women constantly seem to be throwing themselves at Kirk and Spock in Star Trek: The Original Series. The same happens with Riker, and to a lesser extent Picard, on Star Trek: The Next Generation.
    • In the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "The Naked Now," the crew is infected with a virus that mimics the effects of being drunk. The menfolk mostly just get silly, but Tasha Yar puts on a slinky dress and successfully seduces Data while Dr. Crusher unsuccessfully attempts to do the same to Picard (not that he didn't look very interested in the prospect, but he manages to stave off temptation long enough to save the day).
    • Much later in "Conundrum" when the crew is stricken with Easy Amnesia, Ensign Ro lets herself into Commander Riker's quarters to surprise him with some lovin' when he returns… not that he seems to mind.
    • Betazoid women enter "The Phase" when they reach middle-age. This is like a biological clock version of a starship going to Red Alert and results in their sex drive quadrupling (or more)! Since this is a normal part of the life-cycle of every Betazoid female, the trope is played straight for any of them in this age group, although younger or older women are more within the conventional range of humanoid sexuality.
    • On Star Trek: Enterprise, the Denobulans have a polyamorous society, where everybody has multiple spouses. When one of Doctor Phlox's wives hits on Trip, the latter, a futuristic Southern Gentleman, awkwardly approaches Phlox about his wife's attempted "infidelity". Phlox's reaction is that Trip should have taken her up on the offer!
    • T'pol when she was going through Pon Farr; the Vulcan Mate or Die propositioned Dr. Phlox and Lt. Malcolm Reed.
    • In the original pilot "The Cage", the Talosians describe Yeoman Colt's "unusually strong female drives" as one reason she would be suitable for their plans to breed a human population.
  • In this segment on Today Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager enthusiastically apply a copious amount suntan oil on the bare chest of Tonga's flag-bearer, Pita Taufatofua at the 2016 Summer Olympics.
