In works produced outside Europe, Europeans are often depicted as more sexually free and straightforward than anything else on the planet. The sexually liberal European is typically contrasted with a more inhibited American, or with some other non-European character, who has trouble dealing with her libertine ways. Since this is usually Played for Laughs, the European character tends to be female, as having a woman act this way is considered more outrageous, and therefore more humorous. Men acting in a sexually straightforward manner is considered either normal, or at least not particularly funny, or he's gay. note (Or is he European?) If the kinky European is a minor character, they're usually presented as a sex object to the protagonist, often with added Fanservice. If they are given more characterization, they tend to be an Ethical Slut. This trope can overlap with Innocent Fanservice Girl, if the supposed kinkiness of the European character is explained by their culture simply not having the same sort of inhibitions that the culture they are contrasted with has. A stereotypical example of this trope is the blonde Swedish nymphomaniac, though other European nationalities can also be used. The biggest exceptions tend to be Britain and Ireland: British people are commonly portrayed as more repressed than everyone else on the planet, while the Irish are considered too intensely Catholic for casual sex (instead tending towards having large families). However, in Asian media, sexually liberated behaviour is frequently associated with anyone from European descent, including all of the Anglosphere. note Especially because English is by far the most common European second language in Asia, Asian countries are relatively more familiar with the Anglosphere than the rest of the west, plus Hollywood cultural influence, so it is more likely for a sexy American or British character to appear in Asian media, even if they are considered stuffy by continental European standards. Sorry Ireland, one day they'll know you exist. See also Gorgeous Gaijin. As a narrative trope, Europeans Are Kinky has been around since the 1960s. Earlier examples are rare, at least in mainstream audio-visual media, since before that decade cinema (excluding porn) and TV didn't address sexuality with the level of candour the trope requires. In the 1960s, the Swedish movies I Am Curious (Yellow) (1967) and Language of Love (1969) were among the first films with explicit sex scenes to get a wide international distribution, thus contributing to the stereotypical image of the "kinky Swede". Even earlier, the French film The Lovers (1958), which includes a short (and not particularly explicit) sex scene, was the subject of a famous American court case. A screening of this film in Ohio resulted in the theater manager being convicted for public depiction of obscene material. The manager appealed, and the Supreme Court eventually overruled the conviction, stating that the movie was not pornography, and therefore not obscene. Even though the aforementioned movies helped establish the image of the sexually straightforward European in the US, they are not examples of this trope as such. Europeans Are Kinky typically appears in works produced outside Europe itself, as a vital part of the trope is that the European character is seen from an outside perspective as an exotic Other. However, this trope is sometimes used in some European works too, to illustrate perceived cultural differences within the continent. It can appear in British and Irish works, since the British rarely tend to think of themselves as Europeans, and usually use the term "Europe" to mean "continental Europe", and the Irish still have the whole "Catholic guilt" thing going on. Also, while American works generally lump Russia in with the rest of Europe in regards to this trope, Russian authors usually distance themselves from it. Instead, kinkiness in Russian culture is often associated with the The European Union. And in works from Catholic European countries (such as France or Italy), the same trope exists about the women from Northern and Protestant Europe (Scandinavia, Germany, the Netherlands), who are described as more promiscuous than the local ones. This trope can sometimes be Truth in Television, as in many European countries nudity and sexuality are indeed considered less taboo than in the United States, making them look kinkier in the eyes of Americans. The "kinkiness" of Europeans also has some scientific proof: in a study published in 2005, citizens of 48 different countries across the world were asked about their attitudes towards multiple sex partners and casual sex. When these countries were put in order based of how promiscuous they are, 13 of the top 20 countries were in Europe, and the United States placed 22nd. The European countries in the top 20 were mostly former Eastern Bloc states and Protestant countries, whereas most Catholic countries in Europe, such as Italy, Spain, and Portugal, actually placed lower than the US. A more truthful way of formulating this trope would therefore be "non-Catholic Europeans are kinkier than most other nationalites", but the ancient Latin Lover trope means that people from Catholic countries are often characterised as kinky too. Note that the word "kinky" is used here to refer to general sexual liberality and/or promiscuity. Kink is often associated with unconventional sexual practices, such as BDSM, but they aren't necessarily a part of this trope.

Gomez Addams from The Addams Family is a Spaniard, his kinkiness include a Fetish for the French language and BDSM activities like the use of shackles, whips and torture devices as somewhat erotic and/or romantic foreplay (something that, in The '60s, was pretty taboo). | |

In Batman Begins, part of Bruce Wayne's Millionaire Playboy cover (suggested by Alfred so that no one will know Bruce is Batman) is a couple of women he carts around to generate the right sort of attention. This leads to a hilarious scene where they basically strip down in the middle of an upscale restaurant and start bathing in a fountain. Bruce tells the maître'd, "well, they're....European", and when asked to leave, just writes a check and buys the hotel on the spot. | |

Parodied and played around with in EuroTrip. Scotty's friend Cooper travels with him to Europe in the hope that this trope is Truth in Television, providing the page quote... and sure enough, they find out just how kinky Europeans can get. Subverted, however, when the main characters visit a nude beach in France, only to find it populated entirely by flabby, ugly male tourists who had scared off all of the women. Also features a Rare Male Example in the form of Kristoff, who seemingly fulfills Jenny's fantasy of being swept off her feet by a suave, wealthy Frenchman. Then he admits to being married, and suddenly all magic disappears. He doesn't see a problem with it (and neither does his wife). He then makes it worse by casually admitting that he's bi. |

Pictured above is Sister Sweden of Scandinavia and the World, who's portrayed as being something of a sex maniac, contrasting Brother Sweden, who's something of a prude (though he's mellowed out a bit since the comic's start). Both Brother and Sister Denmark are also portrayed as being on the kinky side, while the trope is averted for the other European characters. Italy's a smooth talker, but not terribly successful at it. Though maybe that's just because he tried his lines on Sister Germany and she wasn't amused. Brother America is a bit of an inversion, as one comic has him point and grin at Sister Sweden's chest, then go into shock when she causes actual contact to occur. Brother England is even worse in this regard, crying at his own perverted actions and running away after lightly touching Sister Denmark on her arm and her being unaware of the entire interaction. |

Carry On: Carry On Henry had Henry VIII marry Queen Marie of Normandy for this reason. He is absolutely delighted all the way to the bedroom to consummate their marriage, until he smells her garlic breath. Carry On Emmannuelle had the French ambassador's wife Emmannuelle Prévert being sex crazy. Throughout the film, she has sex with any man she lays eyes on, all because her husband Emile had developed an aversion to sex after a nude skydiving accident. |

In an episode of Malcolm in the Middle, when Otto and Gretchen tell Francis that they rented the dude ranch to a "low budget indie film company" to shoot on location, Francis tells a performer she looks so familiar but can't remember the title of a movie he's seen her in. She names several of her movies, and Francis becomes horrified, when he realizes that Otto and Gretchen have been cast as extras in a scene where they are supposed to walk in on a couple. Francis convinces the cast and crew to film the scene without sex, but after their debut, Otto and Gretchen mention how disappointed they are that the scene was so boring, saying that they feel sorry for the undersexed Americans who cannot put a good sex scene in a movie once in a while. | |

Most of the countries in Hetalia: Axis Powers are European, and the author plays on European-kinkiness a lot. There was even a strip where mostly-European countries were arguing over who invented the condom and was therefore most perverted. In particular, France is the most openly perverted character in the series, to the point of outright sexually harassing people. Meanwhile, according to Italy, even the extremely straitlaced Germany has a hell of a hidden Porn Stash that includes things like bestiality. | |

The Swedish blonde Ulla in both the original movie and the musical remake of The Producers is a prime example of this trope. | |

Referenced in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. After Tom Sawyer sees Mina Harker bite a man's throat open, he sardonically notes, "They told me European women had funny ways." Though Mina is British and normally fits the aversion. | |

Doctor Who: "The Girl in the Fireplace": The various romantic entanglements in 18th-century Versailles prompt this exchange, after the Doctor mentions that the queen and the king's mistress got along very well: "The Time of the Doctor": The Doctor's companion Clara invites him to Christmas dinner with her family. The Doctor arrives there naked, much to the shock of Clara's parents (and to the delight of her granny). Clara then tries to explain this odd behaviour by claiming "he's Swedish". |

The Crazy Ones episode "She's So European" focuses on Helena, a British client of the ad agency who becomes gal-pals with Sydney, and fuckbuddies with both Zach and Simon (Sydney's father). When they both get too emotionally invested, she dumps them for the voiceover artist from the B-plot. She keeps the agency on, though, because she's so amused by their quaint American prudishness and drama. | |

In Kingsman: The Secret Service, after Eggsy jokingly asks if the imprisoned Swedish princess will give him a kiss for breaking her out, she instantly says she'll give much more than that. When Eggsy has to head off to actually save the world, she says they can do it in the arse if he succeeds. It is made very clear she doesn't have any problem keeping her word. (director Matthew Vaughn was impressed that people managed to get offended by that instead of the film's copious swearing and violence) | |

In the movie version of South Park there's the porn film starring Cartman's Mum and some Germans that the kids find on the internet. Not just any porn film, but something called "German Scheißeporn" which translates to... well, German shit-porn. Parodying Germany's reputation as the land of dirty porn.◊ | |

Tour de Pharmacy has a (fictional) 1980s Finnish credit card commercial wherein a man spills milk on the floor, his wife catches him, and it cuts to him performing oral sex on him (with gratuitous nudity to boot). | |

Interview with the Vampire (2022): By the standards of 1910s America, Lestat de Lioncourt (a Frenchman) being a bisexual libertine would be regarded as kinky, and he identifies his sexuality as "Non-discriminating." He lives in a Transparent Closet with Louis de Pointe du Lac (a black Creole), and being a same-sex and interracial couple was scandalous at a time when homosexuality was a crime and interracial marriage was illegal in most states, including Louisiana. Not surprisingly, people gossip about Louis' "pale lover" and "the weird goings-on at their Sodomite townhouse" behind their backs. "Is My Very Nature That of a Devil": It's lampshaded by Jonah Macon, a gay African American, who has heard that Europeans display more liberal attitudes towards sex. |

The Man in the High Castle: When Joe goes to a party with the other lebensborn, he finds that they are extremely liberal with drugs and sex, to his surprise: some even discuss sharing girlfriends. This is a reference to the counterculture practiced by hippies during The '60s in our timeline. By everything that's been shown of the conquered United States, it's ironically much more culturally conservative than the heart of the fascist empire. In fact, there seems to be a two-tiered legal system wherein, for instance, open displays of homosexuality are allowed for European nationals, but prosecuted for Americans. At least until Himmler has her carded off back to Germany for "re-education". | |

Fellow Travelers: Discussed in episode 2 when Lucy confirms after a trip to Europe that the men there are very forward with their amorous advances compared to American men in the 1950s. According to Hawkins Fuller (who's gay), Europeans are a lot less judgemental about homosexuality than Americans. |
