Ah, the sea! The ideal setting for adventure, danger, and... constant sexual longing?
At least, so you'd think from some fiction, where every single crew member on a nautical adventure seems to be in a constant state of hunger for, well, naughty adventure. In such works, sailor types are never shown as being apathetic about romantic horseplay — not even if they're exhausted from overwork, or stranded on an island.
This trope particularly runs rife in a Wooden Ships and Iron Men setting. Pirates are often involved as well, since they have the loot to spend lavishly on drinks, prostitutes, and A Girl in Every Port. But it can be and pretty much always has been applied to all kinds of seamen (heh heh, "seamen"), including the spacefaring variety.
For a long time, this was Truth in Television to some extent: historically, women were not allowed on naval ships in many countries, which meant that sailors spent months on end without seeing a member of the opposite sex. Naturally, upon reaching shore, many of them would be starving for female companionship. (Docks were long known as crucibles of prostitution.)
Now that the gender imbalance is less pronounced in most places, the whole concept is largely in Dead Horse Trope territory, but you can still expect to come across it in historical fiction (and, of course, older works). Hello, Sailor! is often the result of this trope plus Situational Sexuality. See also Our Sirens Are Different.

Operation Petticoat: The whole premise of the film is that a WW2 submarine crew can be thrown into hormonal chaos just by adding a few female nurses. At one point the entire crew complement save the Captain decide to present for sick call in order to have the nurses treat them.

The Bounty: The men of the Bounty are very, very excited when they land on Tahiti after a long and grueling voyage, and discover a whole island full of gorgeous, topless native women. Their unwillingness to go back to a grueling sailor's life after leaving Tahiti is a root cause of The Mutiny that follows.

The Malloreon: In a one chapter in the third book, a sailor who had been at sea for months and stealing from his captain after landing, gets relief at the tavern and spends his loot by drinking his ass off and sleeping with a local barmaid. When he wakes up, he finds the girl dead with a Slasher Smile on her face, and, out of fear that he thought he killed her, escapes to Mal Zeth, carrying nothing but the clothes on his back and the deadly plague he caught.

In the Gentleman Bastard book Red Seas Under Red Skies, Zamira Drakasha's pirate crew has co-ed membership and a tolerant attitude towards liaisons of all kinds, including when one new recruit turns out to be another's Closet Key. Relationships only become an issue when one crewman realizes he's been tricked into taking a bunk next to a notoriously noisy couple.

This trope is one way of reading the Siren scene in The Odyssey - the whole crew can't resist the sight and song of the Sirens, even though it means shipwreck. A less sexualized reading, of course, is that the song itself is magically enchanted to be irresistible.

The Shadow Over Innsmouth: Lovecraft doesn't provide much detail into the "breeding" of the Hybrids. But considering Innsmouth is a port, its only major industry was shipping, and it was a sea captain who made the alliance with the Deep Ones, it's implied that sailors out at sea with nobody else nearby but the Deep Ones could be the main contributors to the Hybrid gene pool.

South Pacific's chorus of sailors all agree—in song, no less!—that "There's Nothing Like A Dame", but whatever they may say or fantasize among themselves, the sailors are completely respectful to the nurses. Stephen Sondheim took the musical to task for using this trope, but see above for his own history with it.

In Alliance/Union, two very disparate cultures have managed to produce Horny Spacers:
Alliance Merchanter ships are owned and crewed by Families with a strong incest taboo who do all their sex and reproducing on stationside shore leave. Their role in keeping isolated stations from becoming inbred or flat-out evolving into a different species is at one point euphemistically referred to as “pollination,� and the stations have developed a strong bar-and-hotel industry to accommodate (and extract money from) them.
The introduction of men to hani ships is an ongoing plot thread in the Chanur Novels, and the horny sailor tendencies of old-fashioned female spacers are an ongoing obstacle.

The Fast Show did a sketch in the vein of a Broadway musical with a trio of sailors singing a musical number about shore leave, with the first two singing about stereotypical things a tourist would do in New York. When the third sailor is asked what he'll do, he proudly states that he's going to go on a bender that culminates in him picking up a prostitute and having sex with her. His two buddies agree that this is a great idea and start singing the song again, changing the title from "Shore Leave" to "Whore Leave".

In the Aubrey-Maturin book series, this reaches the level of a Running Gag. Whenever one of Aubrey's commands returns to port—particularly if the crew have recently been paid—it's the only thing on half of the men's minds. Before they set sail again, Aubrey has to order that the ship be searched for stowaways (and having once gotten in trouble himself for sneaking a girl aboard, he knows exactly where the crew are hiding them).
In one of the early books, Aubrey makes an ill-considered joke while dining (and drinking) with some other officers and their wives, about his crew lining up along the rail "with their pricks a yard long," waiting for the ship to anchor. When several of the women stand up to leave in disgust, he quips that they needn't hurry; they'll be in port for a few more days.

The Mountain and the Wolf: Given that the Villain Protagonist leads a ship of Horny Vikings powered in part by a Sex God, this is inevitable.
The Wolf jokes that he keeps a pig onboard his ship during very long voyages for meat and because the sailors get too lonely. It's a cover for Cersei being held captive on his ship, but it might well be true.
The Wolf often makes rape threats towards the women he holds hostage, and even describes Missandei's likely fate in loving detail to get Grey Worm to fight him. Cersei in particular ends up sleeping with his men around the clock, though it's more due to a connection with Slaanesh than pointless cruelty.

How I Met Your Mother references this, alongside the theory that manatees and dugongs were the inspiration for mermaids. Barney thinks the only reason sailors mistook manatees for beautiful women is because it had been so long since they'd last seen a woman, and they were desperate.

The Navy Lark: One of the stock plots is Sub-lieutenant Phillips' romantic pursuit of WRNS Heather Chasen. He's also not opposed to a bit of freelance womanising and innuendo if some other females are around.
