Playing With / Do You Want to Copulate?

Go To

Basic Trope: Someone outright asks another person if they want to have sex with them, often abruptly.

  • Straight: After Alice and Bob go on a date, Alice asks Bob if they want to have sex later.
  • Exaggerated: Alice and Bob just met, and Alice is already asking Bob in very heavy detail about the sexual activities planned.
  • Downplayed: Alice simply asks Bob if they want to get slightly more intimate than what is expected for two people that just met recently.
  • Justified:
    • Alice has no idea that her statement was abrupt. For instance, she follows Blue-and-Orange Morality and/or is part of a society that has this as a standard greeting.
    • Alice takes consent very seriously and wants to avoid forcing herself on Bob without being aware of it.
  • Inverted: In the middle of sex, Alice abruptly asks if they could go to the movies later.
  • Subverted: Alice and Bob were speaking in a language where the words for "six" and "sex" sound very similar, and Alice was actually asking if Bob wanted six pieces of something...
  • Double Subverted:
    • ... At least this is what she claims after Bob turns her down.
    • She genuinely made a mistake but follows her clarification up with "I wouldn't mind banging you later though. Are you up for that?"
  • Parodied: Alice has two types of business cards that she will hand out to people: a professional stating her job and contact info, and another for the people she finds attractive with just her phone number and the phrase "You are cordially invited to fuck my ass."
  • Zig-Zagged: ???
  • Averted: Nobody ever explicitly asks someone if they want to have sex with them.
  • Enforced: Alice and Bob are in a porn movie and the writer could not think of a better way to segue from the setup to the meat of the matter.
  • Lampshaded: "Wh- I mean, sure, but I didn't think you'd ask like that!"
  • Invoked: ???
  • Exploited: ???
  • Defied: Alice realizes that such a remark would be inappropriate and decides not to say it.
  • Discussed: ???
  • Conversed: ???
  • Implied: Alice pulls Bob aside and whispers something in his ear that makes him blush, which he answers with a meek "yes" before they vanish off the screen. The morning after he says that "I didn't think you'd be so... Direct..."
  • Played for Laughs: The question is asked in a Sophisticated as Hell manner.
