In the same way that CPR is presented as clean, pretty, and reliable, sex in fiction has a tendency to gloss over the more awkward aspects. Sure, maybe it's explored if it's Their First Time to highlight the characters' inexperience, but most of the time sex is very different from how it is in real life. Issues like impotence, pregnancy, STDs (or not) can come up, but generally only when it's a plot point, deployed for drama. Realism is simply a lower priority than Rule of Sexy, Rule of Funny, Fetish, avoiding Fetish Retardant, avoiding Fan Disservice, and so on. There are several possible reasons for this: A lot of this is due to The Law of Conservation of Detail. (Why waste time showing characters putting on condoms when we want to get to the good stuff?) If it's not important and progressing the plot, mentioning it would only distract the audience. Inexperience. This includes writers describing anatomy that they lack, and virgins trying to describe sex at all. Giving too much detail about sex would upset the Moral Guardians, even if those details are the kind of thing that might show that sex isn't always perfect and wonderful. Bear in mind that it's not necessary that these aspects of sex never occur in fiction, just that they are shown much less frequently than in real life. Similarly, it doesn't need to be universal in the real world, just more common than is shown in fiction. If sex for you is always like it is in the movies, congratulations, but the fact is the experience is different for a lot of other people. Also, note that this trope is not necessarily bad. Sometimes the audience might genuinely enjoy idealized, torrid, steamy sex. Hell, there's a multi-billion-dollar industry built around it: pornography. For sexual variations such as sadomasochism, all of the above applies. But, since these sexualities are less known, there can also be heavy doses of bad research, Creator's Apathy, and sometimes Acceptable Targets. Compare Safe, Sane, and Consensual, Questionable Consent, Ethical Slut, and so on for more nuances. For a list of ways sex acts are misrepresented in the media, see Common Hollywood Sex Traits. For outright impossible sex, see Anatomically Impossible Sex. The Accidental Pornomancer, more often than not, averts this trope. For reasons why, visit the page. If your example falls under one of the following subtropes, please make sure that it is added to that page rather than here: Bigger Is Better in Bed STD Immunity Right Through His Pants The Immodest Orgasm (with The Modest Orgasm as an inverse) If It's You, It's Okay |

The trope is referenced in Night Watch with a porno novel entitled 'The Amorous Adventures of Molly Clapper', which had been passed around the Watch House for years. A fifty-plus-year-old Sam Vimes reminisced that he learned a lot from reading that book when he joined the Watch in his early twenties... and when he got married in his late forties, he discovered that most of what he had learned was wrong. | |

Although there's no actual on-screen sex, the act is portrayed realistically as awkward and confusing in The 40-Year-Old Virgin for a 40-year-old who's never done it. Conservation of Detail is averted when he tries numerous times to put on a condom. When he finally has sex, it goes pretty much as you'd expect. | |

In Heart In Hand, Darryl and Alex's first sexual encounter is incredibly awkward and uncomfortable for both of them for many reasons: Darryl is doing it just because he lost a bet with Alex and has to get falling-down drunk beforehand to even be able to go through with it, while Alex didn't take their bet seriously, was completely caught off-guard when Darryl initiated sex with him as a result, and is horrified at himself afterwards for taking advantage of a clearly-inebriated Darryl. Their later sexual experiences go much better, with Alex explicitly telling Darryl during their second time that he wants to make up for how crappy Darryl's first time was. | |

The first sex scene between Rachel and John in Alphas is another rare example of a couple who the audience is supposed to ship not having very good sex the first time, due to a combination of her superpowers leading to Sensory Overload and his body shame about his burn scars.

Greek: Cappie has gotten Rusty a date with the infamously voracious "virgin-eater" to get his first time out of the way. Rusty's sister Casey objects to this, since his first time should be special. Cappie fondly remembers his own first time with Casey... who points out that it was horrible, because neither of them had any idea what they were doing. | |

In the The Hobbit borderline Crack Fic Ettëlea, a very drunk Thranduil and an equally drunk OC attempt sex, but they're both so hammered that it initially consists of snark, inept clothing damage, and one near-concussion. Eventually, they manage it, more or less, but when she (who has not had sex in years) wakes the next morning, there's soreness, mess, and a brutal hangover. (Subsequent sex scenes are usually Played for Laughs.) | |

In The Island, Lincoln and Jordan are clones who have been raised separate from normal people and have no concept of love or sex. Doesn't stop them from having passionate sex near the end of the movie without any problems. Though a major plot point is that Lincoln has been receiving memories from his original donor, so it might be handwaved in his case at least. | |

As Fate Would Have It, while initially depicting Nate's and Yancy's first time as going pretty well aside from Yancy feeling a degree of pain for the first few minutes, becomes a subversion towards the end. The story states that as hard as both of them try to continue making love further following their first orgasm, they soon feel tired thanks to their inexperience and drift to sleep in each other's arms not long after. No immediate round 2 or anything of the sort happening. Not to mention their lovemaking session ending only in the span of 6-10 or so minutes. | |

Any of Samantha's sex scenes in Sex and the City count, though injuries are frequently shown in this instance. There's still a ludicrous amount of screaming, thrashing, and athleticism. There was once an episode where she was bent on performing the entire book of Kama Sutra. (Which, for the record, is a horrible idea.) |

Idealized sex is largely averted in the eleventh Gaiden chapter for the Naruto High School AU story Kitsune no Ken: Fist of the Fox, with minor characters Guren and Sagi. Yes, Guren is quite attractive for a thirty-something, Sagi has enough girth to impress her, and the sex itself goes off without a hitch, BUT they do use a condom for the act. Additionally, while neither of them is a virgin (Guren is a divorcee who lost her virginity to her then-husband on their wedding night, and Sagi had his first time during his final year of high school), Sagi is still somewhat nervous even during the sex act, and they have to spend a little time finding a good mutual rhythm. | |

In Evangelion 303, when Shinji and Asuka had sex for the first time, it was painfully obvious that they were twenty-year-old virgins and they had no idea what they were doing. Shinji unintentionally hurt her when he entered her, and the whole experience was pretty awkward for both. Fortunately, they got better at it after a lot of practice. | |

Another example with Asuka and Shinji is in Neon Genesis Evangelion: Genocide, where Asuka carries over her competitive attitude into bed after the two start a physical relationship. She always initiates and insists on being on top; Shinji considers to himself that he would prefer a little more cuddling and that the sex itself is uncomfortably like fighting with her due to how aggressive she is. By the end it appears that they may be on the way to meeting in the middle with her toning it down a little and him displaying some more initiative. | |

The first sex scene between Leckie and Stella in The Pacific was refreshingly realistic. It's brief, slightly awkward, they both have reasonably odd o-faces, and you can even see him use his hand to guide himself in (it's under the blankets, but it's obvious what he's doing). | |

In a Discworld fic by A.A. Pessimal, this happens to Johanna Smith-Rhodes during a very eventful Hogswatch. She realises, with a pragmatic sense of the inevitable, that Ponder Stibbons is even more sexually inexperienced than she is and has in all probability never even seen a naked woman before. She puts this down to the thing about wizards and celibacy, and suggests they work it out together.note While the bedroom door closes at this point - well, the bathroom door - later stories show that they end up married with three daughters. It is entirely possible they did work out the practicalies. | |

Dealt with in The Sharing Knife. Fawn's first time with a farmhand in a field while being bitten by gnats was not at all what she expected and ended with her an unwed mother. On the other hand, her first time (and every other time) with Dag is one of the most joyful experiences of her life, but that's due to his intentional effort, the fact that he knows what he's doing and there's plenty of communication between them. | |

Misfits comically averts this during any sexual situation involving Nathan — actually, very few sex scenes in the show play this trope remotely straight, but if Nathan's involved, you know you're in for something particularly disastrous. He's been shown to suffer from premature ejaculation, has got his finger stuck in a girl's vagina during foreplay, and has displayed an o-face so off-putting and bizarre that his partner started laughing hysterically when she saw it. He also has a famous habit of "tripling" himself during sex — yes, kids, that's when you ejaculate, puke and shit yourself all at once — although luckily for everyone this one happens off-screen. | |

Comical subversion in A Fish Called Wanda — Otto makes some utterly hilarious O faces. And there's absolutely no evidence that Wanda came at all. She sort of just lies there as Otto jabbers meaningless Italian phrases at her. Suddenly, the movie's title just got a lot funnier. |

Berserk: As far as good people having good sex goes in this series, Guts and Casca's first time isn't exactly picture-perfect, with Casca bleeding from penetration and being in mild discomfort during Guts' rough, frantic, and all-in-all inexperienced love-making. Not to mention that Guts suffers a flashback to his rape as a child partway through, which causes him to almost choke Casca before he comes to his senses. | |

Due to her past traumas and psychological issues, Shinji and Asuka couldn’t have a healthy sex life until they were in their middle twenties (ten years after their first meeting). When they first tried to have sex, it was a disaster because Asuka wanted to get it over with, but Shinji couldn’t go on because he was hurting her. | |

Explored in detail in Don Jon. The main character is addicted to porn to the degree that actual sex is not as interesting or exciting to him, as porn offers experiences that most attractive women would not be interested in doing and he gets caught up in the awkward moments of real sex that takes him out of the moment. The film contrasts (brief) images of porn that idealizes a sexual experience with grandiose passion next to an encounter he had that is almost clinical in how they were both just trying to get it over with. | |

Knocked Up. The two main characters, Ben and Allison, are quite drunk, and Ben struggles with a condom. He doesn't use one, and she becomes pregnant. And then a later scene shows the two of them trying to have sex while she's pregnant. Ben is just a wee bit hesitant about doing it with their unborn child inches nearby. They struggle with different positions before finally giving up in frustration. |

Sex in A Dance with Rogues is very... realistically... described. The game even tracks an integer for how experienced your character is and varies the descriptions depending on that (though it is more often used to determine if you can use the 'if I have really good sex with this guy he will give me what I want' tactic). Most possible sexual partners are quite experienced, so acting like it makes sense for them, but Anden is understandably awkward. | |

Also played for laughs in Crank, where the protagonist has been poisoned, and he needs to constantly maintain an adrenaline rush to slow its effects and stay alive. Usually done by fighting bad guys, but it leads to quite a few Deus Sex Machina scenes, the one that really takes the cake being where he's stuck in Chinatown with no such action to be found. He somehow convinces his girlfriend to do the deed right there. As in, in public, on a crowded street. (Possibly, the most unrealistic part is how willing she seems to do it.) | |

In the Plan B fanfic Interpretive Steps for a New Tango, Bruno and Pablo have several sex scenes that show how sex between two men who don't have an iota of prior experience with other men would be realistically awkward and clumsy at first. Their first attempt to have anal sex in particular ends up such a total disaster, not least because they thought that getting high and drunk beforehand would be a great way to calm their nerves, that Pablo decides that being with another man isn't for him and breaks up with Bruno for a time. | |

Enemy at the Gates had a realistically awkward sex scene between the main protagonist and the love interest. It's awkward because they do it in the subways below Stalingrad, surrounded by sleeping people because it's being used as a bomb shelter, and so they have to try to not wake anybody up and don't have much room for themselves. So they just kinda roll over each other, try to take off each other's clothing, and try to get his penis into her without waking up a guy sleeping a foot away. | |

Genesis's "Counting Out Time" goes out of its way to prove that researching sex via media portrayals is a very bad way to learn how to be a good lover. Rael tries a one-night stand based on a book he reads about erogenous zones, and the result is a comedically clinical IKEA Erotica version of sex that's so awkward (complete with a goofy, warbling guitar solo) that it drives his partner off in disgust. Rael doesn't get the memo and simply assumes that the book was a ripoff. | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Played straight, then subverted when Buffy wakes up and sees just how grungy Parker's apartment is in the harsh light of day. This foreshadows the revelation that he's The Casanova instead of a new Love Interest. Likewise in "The Zeppo" when Xander loses his virginity with Faith. After some romantic snuggling in bed we Smash Cut to Faith booting him out the door now she's finished making use of him. |

The Teresa Knight Trilogy: Zigzagged. Sex is generally portrayed as working out fine, but some cases don't, and contraception or STD prevention is also brought up explicitly. | |

Sex in Katawa Shoujo is also more realistically depicted than you'd expect from a Visual Novel: sometimes it's good, sometimes is bad, and whether it's good or not it seriously depends on the circumstances and the people engaging in it. Emi's anal sex scene note (which is *hilariously* awkward since neither Emi nor Hisao are sure of how to handle it) and Lilly's bath sex scene note (where the foreplay takes place in the bath, but the actual sex happens outside the tub to avert problems with the water) are notable examples. Furthermore, Rin, Hanako, and Misha all have H-scenes where not only is the sex very awkward, but straightforwardly designed to make the player feel uncomfortable due to the reasoning behind them. The closest to idealised sex would be the scenes with Shizune, but that's most likely because she's the one in charge and it still takes Hisao a short while to get used to the light bondage in their first time. And as a bonus: if you make Hisao go through the aforementioned sex scene with Misha, you'll get locked out of the best and more "perfect" sex scene in the game (which still has Hisao tripping on a desk) and you get the Bad Ending of Shizune's route. |

Fate/hollow ataraxia references Rin's and Shirou's difficulties the first time, and further states that the second time they tried ended up even worse due to a long string of very unlucky coincidences. The game itself has a scene in which they try for a third time, which ends up being very pleasant and enjoyable for both of them. | |

In The Second Try, Shinji and Asuka’s first time was awkward. Shinji hurt her when he entered her, and he tried to hold back his orgasm as long as possible because he didn’t want to deprive her of her own climax. Back in the past, she said that he owed her a better first time. | |

The first Leisure Suit Larry game can have Larry lose his virginity to a prostitute. To say the least, it is nasty, brutish, and short, and doesn't count toward the game goal; it continues with Larry seeking more. (Peter Spear's novelization had Larry note that instead of idealized, full-out fireworks, all he felt was "a single firecracker that just laid there and banged".) In short, it was not worth the pimp's asking price. At all. | |

A Fox Tail makes sure to have lubrication for anal sex most of the time, on a couple of occasions they go without it causing intense pain. | |

As well as showing quite a considerable amount of Idealized Sex between the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, Lizzie Siddal, and various prostitutes, Desperate Romantics does at least depict Lizzie encouraging Gabriel to abandon the prophylactics they have apparently been using prior to their marriage. There is also some awkwardness shown between Millais and Effie the first time they're in bed together, though they get over it later in the series. | |
