  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

File:I just had sex 4794.png

I just had sex! It was the best thirty seconds of my life!

Cquote1
"I'm a pretty open person. Like if I have good sex, then the next day I'm going to tell everyone I know about it"'
Melissa Joan Hart
Cquote2


A character who talks big about his (or, more rarely, her) love life and success with the ladies (or gents), but in fact has little or nothing going on. Can be part of Of Course I'm Not a Virgin.

If everybody else is talking about the protagonist's (nonexistent) conquests, it's an Urban Legend Love Life.

Compare Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today?, which is frequently used in a parallel way. Subtrope of Suspiciously Specific Denial.

Cquote2
  • Parodied with Dave in Flight of the Conchords, who acts like an expert in all things, especially being a ladies' man. Judging by his tendency toward Malapropisms and the way he (deniedly) lives with his parents...

 Gob: Guess who was just "over her." Don't-I'll tell you, me. I *bleep*ed the business model.

Voiceover: Actually, they just made out.

Gob: Yeah...she had all sorts of orgasms.

Cquote2
  • In the unaired Global Frequency pilot, the main female lead is listing her very lengthy list of academic qualifications, all of which she has achieved at a very young age (she's no older than thirty). The male lead makes a joke along the lines of "how'd you find time to have a life?" The female lead, suddenly very touchy, begins insisting that she had a life, ending with a completely out of the blue and not very convincingly delivered declaration that she "had boyfriends," the implication being that she's lying and is probably still a virgin.
  • Mini McGuinness from the third generation of Skins.
  • Jay from The Inbetweeners does this all the time.
  • Itano in Sakura Kara no Tegami.

Web Original[]

Western Animation[]

  • Page quote: Zapp Brannigan from Futurama.
    • Although ironically, that quote comes from right after he really did have sex with a woman. Apparently for the first time, though.
      • Possibly not, from later things he said. However, it's probably very infrequent and she might be the first to leave his bed without being converted to lesbianism. Or perhaps the previous one was a trap...
      • That does seem to be implied. "We are certain it's a woman this time, right?"
  • Master Shake from Aqua Teen Hunger Force likes to portray himself as a ladies'... shake, although it is repeatedly lampshaded by someone (usually Frylock) pointing out that he doesn't even have genitalia.
  • In one episode of South Park, Cartman claims he's been laid "like, five thousand times."
