The homosexual version (and logical conclusion) of I'm a Man; I Can't Help It, All Men Are Perverts, and A Man Is Always Eager. If all men constantly want sex, then men who are attracted to other men obviously must be constantly having sex. After all, there's no women involved to say no, so what's stopping them, right? This stereotype is in fact the reason why gay people are called "gay." The word changed meanings over the years from "bright and showy," to "carefree and full of mirth," to "addicted to pleasures" and eventually to "sexually promiscuous." Sometime in the early 20th century, the word narrowed to specifically refer to homosexual men due to belief in the stereotype (previously "gay" actually meant promiscuous heterosexual men, odd as it may seem now). This trope has some interesting historical basis, in that many gay and lesbian writers post-Stonewall (and a few queer theory writers more recently) advocated emphasizing difference from heterosexual and normative life. This difference included denigrating marriage and monogamy, thus strengthening the link between homosexuality and promiscuity in the eyes of those who viewed all homosexuals as sick sexual deviants. Lesbians have their own version of this trope; lesbians are stereotyped as women stepping in the roles of men, which includes emulating the male sexual appetite. This is part of the basis behind the Lesbian Vampire trope, who is a woman that preys on other women and "transforms" them into creatures like her. When it comes to bisexual characters, this can be the result of writers wanting to avoid But Not Too Bi; by committing to a monogamous relationship, the bisexual character might be deemed 'choosing a side', leading either to the appearance they were merely gay-in-denial, or were merely expressing token same-sex affections for the sake of fanservice/diversity. Having multiple relationships with multiple genders helps to avoid this. However, in real life, even among the LGBT community, bisexuals often face biphobic discrimination for supposedly being promiscuous and unfaithful, as well as accused of being confused/in-denial of their sexuality or even merely wanting attention, so playing this straight and averting it both results in negative implications. Avoiding both can be a tricky minefield with no obvious solution, which ironically is part of the problem bisexuals often face when dating. How this trope is treated in the eye of the writer (or the reader for that matter) will depend on how they view sexuality itself, whether they believe that frequent sex when detached from romantic relationships is a matter of morality, and what they believe normative sexuality should be. The LGBT news media tend to go to the opposite extreme. A common trope in those media is that gay men are unrealistically picky in their sexual or romantic choices. |

Present and discussed in Less. There are a pretty decent amount of one-night stands, but they are there for a reason. Arthur, the main character, is a single gay man in his late 40s, and he struggles with his identity because of his lack of a partner and his residual Survivor's Guilt after the AIDS crisis. | |

Heralds of Valdemar: Firesong k'Treva, coming from a Non-Heteronormative Society, had company and his choice of men as often as he wanted among the Tayledras, and he wanted them often. Traveling to Valdemar his prospects got slimmer, and then going on a mission into Hardorn meant not having anyone at all, which he wasn't used to. In the Mage Storms trilogy when he and An'desha break up, between Valdemar's tolerant but mildly homophobic culture and the Storms affecting his psyche and making him more irritable, Firesong didn't have anyone for months and this didn't help his state of mind. Vanyel is essentially celibate when he doesn't have a life-bonded partner. He has a fling with a soldier in his twenties, and not much else considering that it's Lonely at the Top. It takes his father most of his life to get over the knee-jerk assumption that being gay means being not only promiscuous but also a pedophile. Vanyel's first lifebonded had had a bad first experience and so was reluctant to start new relationships, including with Van. His second, Stefan, who is the reincarnation of the first, had a much more active sex life until meeting Van and fully becoming a gay Ladykiller in Love. |

13 on House. Almost immediately after she was revealed to be bisexual, she started picking up one-night stands, and eventually became involved with Foreman. This behavior stemmed from the knowledge that she was slowly dying, and eventually she accepts her shortened lifespan. She is later shown settling down with another woman by the time she leaves the show for good. | |

The Simpsons: Parodied when Homer, as a love counselor, advises the men who want to break up with their dance partner in a gay club to simply turn to their right. Also, in another episode, Moe turns his bar into a gay-friendly bar and pretends to be gay himself so that the gay community accepts and respects him. Waylon Smithers, knowing the truth, asks Moe if he finds him attractive, to which he responds: "Oh, yeah, yeah. Like all gays, I'm attracted to all men." Parodied afterwards when Comic Book Gay calls this "the most insidious stereotype ever", but then when another guy from the crowd calls him cute and asks him out, responds: "Whoever said that, yes". |

Unlike the lustful men and women of The Divine Comedy's Hell, the homosexuals in Hell are not grouped in pairs, but travel in large bands. This implies sodomy doesn't have the same intimacy and union of baby-makin' sex (Dante's words). | |

Complicated in the Whateley Universe. Poe Cottage, which is the LGBT dorm at Superhero School Whateley Academy, does have some gays who are taking advantage of this. But they're teenagers who have only just been allowed to express themselves, and they have a like-minded roommate. On the other hand, other gay kids are refraining from sex completely, or staying in monogamous relationships. Saladin, the only gay boy who has a point-of-view storyline, is strictly monogamous and seldom even sees his boyfriend. | |

Ayakashi Triangle: Reo is openly bisexual and shows no preference for men or women. She also has No Sense of Personal Space, readily getting up close to smell anyone if she likes their scent. However, Matsuri is the only one Reo wants to date. Suzu is likewise monogamous, but her libido and aggression seem to correlate with her attraction to girl Matsuri. She starts the series an Ambiguously Bi Covert Pervert, but spends the latter half as a Hormone-Addled Teenager who'd gladly bed Matsuri in either form. |

Sacha Baron Cohen's character Brüno (2009) is pretty much every negative gay stereotype rolled into one person. Cohen apparently considered it homophobic to find this caricature unappealing, even though most real-life gay people wouldn't want to be around a guy like Bruno, either. | |

Played with in Sirens (US). At first, it seems like Hank plays this trope straight. However, over the course of the show, it becomes clear this is actually a sign that his last breakup is still bothering him more than he's willing to admit. One episode finally has him reach an epiphany and admit he wants a serious, committed relationship. | |

In Fans!, Meighan's skirt-chasing is her biggest weakness (and was, for some time, her only real personality trait). Ally even depended on this as part of her plan to Break Rikk's Heart To Save Him — in fact, it was the only part of the plan that worked. note Ironically, this happened shortly after Meighan had shown her first sign of depth by forging a lasting friendship with Tim... based on his HAVING exactly the self-control she wouldn't have with Ally. | |

Played with on Schitt's Creek with David and Patrick. Pansexual David often references the numerous partners from his past and he shows no shame about this. His straight sister also talks about her multiple past partners with pride and no shame at all. However, it's also heavily implied that David's promiscuity was in part due to his getting used and dumped all the time. Patrick, however, has only ever been with David and the handful of girls from his past. David worries about this and even suggests Patrick see other people so that down the line he won't feel like he missed out. When Patrick agrees to a date with a younger, handsome man, David begins to rethink his offer but it turns out that Patrick can't go through with it because he's in love with David. In Season 6, David and Patrick consider having a threesome with local polyamorous, bisexual hunk Jake. They go over to his apartment but are nervous. When it turns out that Jake had invited them to what appears to be an orgy with both men and women attending, including their female best friend, they politely leave before the festivities begin. |

Never Wipe Tears Without Gloves shines a light on this. In the eighties, this trope was generally believed to be true of gay men which in combination with the rapid spread of AIDS was used against them. The characters in the series land on both sides of the prejudice. Paul Really Gets Around and as much as Rasmus loves Benjamin he wants an open relationship. Benjamin, on the other hand, only sleeps with Rasmus and Seppo and Lars-Ã…ke are in a monogamous relationship. The book series gives a lot more depth to the trope. For the majority of the promiscuous characters, the desire to sleep around is rooted in the knowledge that they're not accepted outside of their own community. Casual sex with other men becomes a way to express their sexuality after so many years of hiding it. | |

An old MTV late-night series called Undressed had one gay character (who seemed to be trying to "convert" his roommate) explain this as something of a perk for being gay. His logic was while women are conditioned from a young age not to put out, guys are conditioned/encouraged to be more promiscuous and thus have less reluctance to sex in general, ergo it's easier to have sex if you're a gay man than a straight man because the target is more willing. | |

Stuart on the original version of Queer as Folk (UK) even told Vince he wasn't really gay, but "a straight guy who has sex with men", because he preferred monogamy to sleeping around. It's even worse in the American version (pictured above), where there are two monogamous couples, and the rest seem to wake up in a new bed every day, and in one of these couples the term "monogamous" has rather wide definitions. Any gay couple who chooses to settle down is accused of conforming to heterosexual norms or turning into "lesbians" by Brian. Only Brian really disbelieves in monogamy, but Justin tries to change him. | |

Brian Kinney on Queer as Folk (US) is built of this trope. All of the other gay lead characters are promiscuous to varying degrees, with Michael and Ben being the most monogamously inclined. The sole lesbian couple is monogamous, although Lindsey does wind up having an affair... with a man. | |

Deconstructed in Bokura no Hentai. Tamura is the most hormonal of the major characters by far. Tamura lost his virginity in middle school to his abusive straight crush. Prior to that, he had Erotic Dreams where he was a nymphomaniac woman and he believes these were visions of a past life, though they're really related to his repressed memories of being molested when he was younger. After breaking ties with his crush, he began hanging around older men in drag and tried to have sex with at least two different characters (and actually does with Marika to an extent). His promiscuous behavior has less to do with him being gay and more to do with his issues over his past abuse. | |

Subverted on The Other Two: Carey stops his Friends with Benefits relationship with his roommate because he feels exploited. Carey presumes the Instagays are promiscuous and fooling around with one another when they are religious virgins and one of them is straight. They just like hanging out in speedos and taking pictures of each other's bodies. |

Deconstructed in Before Night Falls, Reinaldo Arenas's memoir of life as a gay man under Castro's regime. The promiscuity of many of the gay characters is presented as a reaction to the choking repression of their society as well as a result of pragmatism - when your latest lover may be hauled off to a concentration camp without you ever even finding out, there's not much room for stable monogamy. | |

The L Word gets accused of fostering this image despite having a few committed couples considering how much bed-hopping goes on, with Shane having the most. As a result, there's a fair number of real-life lesbians who despise the show for it, among other reasons, and it doesn't help that by the end of the show nearly every relationship was ended. | |

Downplayed in The Secret History. Francis Abernathy is the only explicitly gay character while the rest are either Ambiguously Gay or Ambiguously Bi, and he is the only one in the main cast who is mentioned having regular hook ups (Richard also has a few but implied to be far less). One of the first things he says to the Richard is "Cubitum eamus?" which is Latin and roughly translates to "Shall we go to bed?" However sex isn't something he talks about due to being in the Transparent Closet and he seems to still care about his studies and avoiding the police more. | |

Vanyel is essentially celibate when he doesn't have a life-bonded partner. He has a fling with a soldier in his twenties, and not much else considering that it's Lonely at the Top. It takes his father most of his life to get over the knee-jerk assumption that being gay means being not only promiscuous but also a pedophile. Vanyel's first lifebonded had had a bad first experience and so was reluctant to start new relationships, including with Van. His second, Stefan, who is the reincarnation of the first, had a much more active sex life until meeting Van and fully becoming a gay Ladykiller in Love. |

Several variations show in up in Glee: First it's inverted with Kurt, who was the only one of the New Directions boys who was still a virgin until early third season while everyone else was getting around. He lost it to Blaine, who in turn was also a virgin at the time. Played with in Santana's case who slept her way through the entire football-team before coming to terms with the fact that she is gay, got a girlfriend, went monogamous, and stayed that way. Brittany's situation is similar to Santana's. While she has almost certainly slept with nearly every boy in the school and more than a few girls, she is fully comfortable with her bisexuality and could date a girl just as easily as a guy. Played straight (ahem) with Sebastian. |

Nicky and Big Boo in Orange Is the New Black both seem to have very high sex drives and though they both were monogamous at some points (Nicky with the 'prison gay' Morello, and Boo with a series of 'Mrs. Boos'), they start to sleep around a lot after that, often causing 'cliterference' between them, which resulted in staging a fucking contest. That said, there are also plenty of lesbian characters in the series who aren't promiscuous at all. | |

The lion Darius from Extracurricular Activities hooks up with different guys every week, and takes pride in touting the number of hookups he's had, as much for the dismayed reaction of his (exclusively homosexual) teammates as for puffing up his own image. The trope is driven to near-parodic heights with the (offscreen) revelation that the contact photos in Darius' phone for his hookups are all dick pics, rather than their faces - these relationships are all purely for physical pleasure. As events in his route progress, his attachment-free lifestyle is called into question when a sudden upheaval leaves Darius in need of support, but with barely anyone to turn to. Darius' route later explores his lack of experience with emotional intimacy, which leaves him confused and vulnerable when he inevitably finds himself attracted to the player character. | |

This is a big part of Blur the Lines. Though the main characters Rick and Drew are partners, they frequently seek out sex with other men. They are also both OK with the other's promiscuity, leading to a My Girl Is a Slut scenario. Subverted, though, when Rick refuses to feel up a man because he thinks the man's bitter ex-boyfriend may be watching them. |

A minor example from Questionable Content - one character lives in a girl's liberal arts college dorm with high concentration of lesbians, who exist in a state of constantly shifting Love Dodecahedron. She is also part of it, but later on expresses reservations about being in that situation, eventually hooking up in a monogamous relationship with a girl outside the college. Later on, Marten's gay father is introduced and actually proposes to his long term boyfriend, so it seems that not all (or even most) gays are promiscuous in the QC verse. | |

Angels in America has Armored Closet Gay Roy Cohn, whose many sexual encounters with men are the reason he's dying of AIDS. It also contains an aversion in that we are never told much about Prior's sexual history despite him being who has AIDS but is implied to have been faithful to Louis (except for the one time that was supposedly when he got infected), but Louis is said to have played around in the past. It's later implied Prior has been letting Louis screw around ever since he got AIDS, which is made all the more heartbreaking when Louis leaves him. | |

Game of Thrones: Downplayed by Ser Loras Tyrell; he is rather easily seduced by an attractive male prostitute, and exchanges significant glances with the openly bisexual Oberyn Martell not long after his lover Renly Baratheon is killed. He mostly comes across as this in comparison to his literary incarnation, who falls into a deep depression after Renly's death, is apparently celibate, and shows signs of being a Death Seeker. Played Straight in "Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken", when Olenna declares, "Renly Baratheon shagged half the stableboys in the Seven Kingdoms." However, we never actually see him have sex with anyone except Loras. |

While not involving sex specifically, Oshare Bones from Puyo Puyo is rather flirtatious despite claiming to be waiting for a reunion with his long-lost lover. One of his victory quotes against Ocean Prince in Puyo Puyo! 15th Anniversary asks for the prince to "invite a lot of nice gentlemen" to the ball he would be hosting; in the same game, Oshare also expresses interest in Lemres, Satan, and Zoh-Daimaoh, even suggesting that he and Zoh go out on a date sometime. | |

Played with in Six Feet Under. David and Keith were not above giving their plumber a blowjob just because, and the local gay men's choir is used basically as a sex club. Further, when Keith has a security job that takes him out of town, they mutually agree that each may have unlimited one-night stands as long they don't sleep with the same guy more than once. They eventually change their minds by the end of the series after deciding that the lack of monogamy was doing more harm than good to their relationship and become completely monogamous. | |

Chelsea Boys plays it straight with some characters, and averts it with others. The main character's best friend pretty much says that this trope outright, and that the main guy is going against all common gay logic in wanting to be monogamous. | |

Zig-zagged in Hazbin Hotel. The major character Angel Dust plays this trope up to the hilt; he's a mobster/porn star who flirts with every male character in his line of sight (he even provides a video example for this very page). So, it's less that gays in general are sluts and more that Angel Dust is one. | |

Stargate Universe: Inverted. The straight characters have a fair amount of relationship drama, and the sole gay couple (Wray and Sharon) have the most stable relationship on the show. In the Alternate Universe episode "Epilogue", where the crew was stranded on a planet, eliminating any chance that they might ever be reunited with their loved ones, Wray mentions that while she had gone on a couple of dates with another woman since being stranded, her love for Sharon was getting in the way, providing a rare case of a homosexual character choosing to remain celibate despite having the option for a relationship. |

The stereotype of gay men wanting to bang everyone who's male is a frequent recurring gag in Queer Duck. Two notable instances are in "Oh Christ!", where Queer Duck berates another man for having only slept with seven men in his lifetime, and "Wedding Bell Blues", where Queer Duck clarifies a long list of situations where he may be unfaithful to Openly Gator when they exchange vows on their wedding day. | |

Kate Veach in DodgeBall: A True Underdog Story is thought to be a lesbian when she makes out with her partner Joyce after winning the tournament. She then announces she's actually bisexual and immediately makes out with Peter, with no apparent objection from Joyce. | |

Dante's Cove is made of this trope. Kevin and Toby are probably the most monogamous in the cast, with only a couple of "slips" from each of them. | |

South Park: In the episode "D-Yikes!" Mrs. Garrison thinks this is true of lesbians and tries to hit on one who's clearly spoken for. When the town was hit by the metrosexual trend, the then-male Mr. Garrison was eager to spend some quality time with one of any number of men he mistook for gay. Then again, this is Mr. Garrison we're talking about here. Played straight with Mr. Slave, who managed to out-whore Paris Hilton. |

In Francine Rivers' The Mark of the Lion trilogy, this is played straight with every major homosexual character in the series. Justified since most of the heterosexual characters are pretty promiscuous, too. It is Ancient Rome. Averted with Prometheus after his conversion in the last book, mostly because he doesn't want to be gay. | |

As mentioned elsewhere on this wiki, Family Guy used to terrible effect in an episode where Peter is given an injection that makes him gay. The supposedly pro-gay rights episode presents the injection as making him hyper promiscuous and being even less interested in supporting his children than usual, which is saying something. One of the gags in the episode is predicated on the idea that every gay man will have sex with strangers in public unless given very specific instructions not to. It also implies that any gay guy would be totally willing to have an 11-way with strangers. It would've been better if it were only Peter like this because it would make sense for straight Peter to want an 11-way with 10 ladies, but it's still pretty bad. | |

Inverted with Barney and his gay brother on How I Met Your Mother — at first it appears that his brother is as much of a hedonistic swinger as he is, but then Barney finds out that he's settled down and engaged to be married. Naturally, Barney is horrified that his brother has gone monogamous. It's probably no coincidence that Neil Patrick Harris, who plays Barney, is gay and in a committed relationship in real life. In fact, the episode aired around the time he came out of the closet. But then played straight in a later episode that revealed that they're separating, because Barney's brother had been cheating at least twice a day for some time, despite being married and having children. | |

One episode of Drawn Together had Xandir go on and on about having had a LOT of gay sex in his life, even though he had only been out of the closet for a season and was not shown to have had many partners. Less egregious than other examples since Drawn Together has next to no continuity anyway and everyone is a massive pervert except (sometimes) Clara, so it has less to do with his sexuality and more that everyone is a sex fiend. | |

Fellow Travelers: Played Straight with Hawkins Fuller, who's promiscuous and does Gay Cruising for one-night stands at public washrooms or gay bars. This habit continues when he's in his late 60s in 1986. He informs a doctor that he has sex with men 3 or 4 times a year, and it's never the same man twice if he can help it. Lampshaded by the gay Marcus Gaines when he tells Timothy Laughlin that he and Hawk "prefer sex without emotional entanglements." Averted with the monogamist Tim and discussed in episode 3. He disagrees with Hawk's statement that they hide who they sleep with and that everyone has something to hide, because "it's not who we sleep with, it's who we love." He wants nothing more than to have a normal romantic relationship with Hawk. |
