Basic Trope A party will end up with more than a few people having sex.
- Straight: Alice and Bob invite their friends over for a party. After everyone has loosened up thanks to a little Jungle Juice, sex ensues between all or most of the party guests.
- Exaggerated: It didn't take alcohol or drugs of any kind to get to that point; everyone started… well, you know practically the minute they walked in the door.
- Downplayed:
- Events at the party resolve a few long term romance arcs that end in sex for two couples.
- The party involves widespread and indiscriminate kissing or G-Rated Sex, but nothing more.
- Justified: Alice and Bob and their friends are swingers.
- Inverted: Alice and Bob and their friends form a Love Dodecahedron, and are constantly hooking up with one another. However, when someone has a party, Alice, Bob, and their friends just hang out and talk.
- Subverted: Alice and Bob invite friends to their house for a "wild time" and they all spend the evening drinking soft drinks and playing Trivial Pursuit.
- Double Subverted: …until more time has passed and alcohol is consumed, then the guests start getting frisky.
- Parodied:
- The central characters can't turn around without tripping over other partygoers engaged in increasingly over-the-top sex and kink, no matter how hard they try.
- Alice and Bob's party banner reads, "Look, God knows we tried to not make this party an orgy, but these hedonists really don't care."
- Zig Zagged: Alice and Bob invite their friends for an orgy, everyone ends up dancing, drinking, and talking, and then they start having sex. If all of them do at all.
- Averted:
- Alice and Bob throw a perfectly G-rated party.
- Alice and Bob neither throw nor attend any kind of party.
- Alice and Bob just outright organize an orgy.
- Enforced: "The movie needs more Fanservice to lure in audiences. Let's put in a sexy party scene."
- Lampshaded: "I think I saw a porno like this once."
- Invoked: "You are not going to that party, young lady, it'll be full of alcohol and horny boys and girls trying to get into your pants."
- Exploited: Bread and Circuses
- Defied: Alice plans a party but makes sure it'll stay G-rated by inviting a chaperone, not serving alcohol, or something to that effect.
- Discussed: "Honey, do you have any idea what a 'key party' is? We can't go to that! What would the neighbors think?! Tell Alice and Bob we won't be there!"
- Conversed: "Everybody gets laid at parties in the movies. Why don't we ever go to parties like that?"
- Implied: Alice and Bob come home bedraggled after a wild night that we don't see.
- Deconstructed:
- Alice, Bob, and their friends do this because they are not happy in their own relationships.
- The results of the party are several sexually transmitted infections, and at least one unplanned pregnancy in which the woman is not sure who the father is.
- Reconstructed: They become more secure and happy in their relationships. They may or may not still have (or attend) parties like this.
- Played For Laughs: Several upstanding members of the community are there, such as the mayor, the minister from Alice and Bob's church, their dentist… Hilarity Ensues.
- Played For Drama: Some people (including Alice and Bob) get upset when their partners start "fooling around" with other party guests, thus putting strain on their relationships. And/or everyone catches AIDS.
Back to the orgy... I mean party... I mean... eugh, I'll just have some Jungle Juice now.
