When a character has sex, possibly while drunk, in order to help them cope with (emotional) trauma from a recent tragedy. Alice and Bob are two characters in a series who are extremely close; maybe they are in love, or maybe they are just close friends, but they are happy together… until Bob dies. Or leaves. Or is revealed to be lying the whole time. Regardless of the exact circumstances, the relationship is over and Alice is emotionally crushed. Does she begin to drink heavily or gorge herself on ice cream to wipe away the feelings or seek to end the pain? Nope, she goes out and finds somebody to spend the night with, and then finds somebody else the next night, and then finds somebody else the night after that. These are not emotionally healthy relationships, nor do they count as "relationships" by any definition of the term; they are just a string of one night stands as she tries to cope with the loss. Sex For Solace deals with any situation where a character, suffering from severe emotional trauma, acts out their own internal turmoil through repeated sexual experiences. The trope does not only limit itself to ended romantic or sexual relationships, but can also deal with the death or loss of a parent/child, the defeat of an ideal, or other such crippling events. The trope can be played alternately for laughs or for drama, depending on the general tone of the work and how Alice's attempts to gain a new sexual partner are portrayed. Related to, and often the result of, Drowning My Sorrows. Might indicate that somebody is Off the Wagon in a different area. Contrast Ethical Slut, For Happiness, and Sex Is Good. Compare or contrast Sex Is Evil, and I Am Horny, depending on how the story deals with sexuality. Also compare Comforting the Widow, wherein someone takes advantage of an emotionally vulnerable person grieving the loss of their partner. Also compare On the Rebound where someone begins an ill-advised relationship after splitting up with their partner. In Real Life, this is a common way of dealing with emotional trauma and PTSD. Needless to say, it can be a bad idea (though at the very least, it's better than drugs or alcohol or the like… maybe). That said, it's a somewhat commonplace reaction to mass casualty disasters, perhaps as evolution's way to encourage repopulation. Now that that's out of the way… |

Goldstone. Detective Jay Swan—who's introduced being pulled over for drunk driving—later goes to speak to a prostitute as part of his investigation. During their conversation he reveals that his daughter whom we saw in the previous movie has died. He ends up sleeping with her, and it's implied that he went there in the first place for this trope, rather than any hope of getting information. | |

Nashville: A lot of characters experience emotional trauma and have sex to try to help with that, with sometimes disastrous results, as Juliette can attest to, as she has done things like sleep around, drink, and jump off the slippery slope when her sometimes traumatic life becomes too much to bear. | |

Switched at Birth: Emmett is completely hysterical about his father giving up custodial rights, and is incredibly angry at his girlfriend Bay for interfering. Simone, meanwhile, is bummed out about her basketball tournament loss and her boyfriend Toby not trusting her. Both Emmett and Simone are out of town and coincidentally staying at the same hotel, and run into each other at the ice machine. She invites him to her room, and you can guess the rest. | |

Citrus: Really, any time when Mei becomes overly emotionally distressed, she would proceed to try to make sexual advances on Yuzu. While this is mostly because she is inept when it comes to processing her feelings towards her stepsister, Mei is often depicted as being shrouded by darkness. The worst case of this is in episode 2 of the anime where when Yuzu tries to extract some insight into how Mei truly felt about moving in with her grandfather, Mei lashes out at her, and pushes her onto the bed. She then proceeds to tear open her blouse and if there is any indication, she would've gone as far as to molest Yuzu had it not have been for Yuzu getting to her. In episode 6, after Mei learns that her father has no intent on returning to the academy, in her depression, she forces herself onto Yuzu. The expression that she makes before Yuzu slaps her is especially sinister. She also comments how she'll "be gentle" since it would be Yuzu's first time. That can be taken as a hint that Mei has done this before. |

Arrow: At the end of "Heir to the Demon", Oliver Queen and Sara Lance throw themselves at each other after a very stressful day for both of them, rekindling their relationship from six years ago. In "Canaries", Thea Queen is understandably tense because the League of Assassins is hunting her family, she's recently discovered her brother is The Arrow, and she's just walked into the Arrowcave to find an injured Laurel Lance lying on a slab before Oliver barks at her to leave. As Thea does she runs into the cocky handsome DJ who's been hitting on her for the past few episodes, and takes him back to her apartment out of a desire to "keep things simple". Things turn out to be anything but when her lover turns out to be a League member who tries to assassinate Thea shortly after they have sex, only for her to be saved by her ex-boyfriend Roy Harper. A few episodes later after things have gone From Bad to Worse, Roy finds a distraught Thea turning up at his door, and their next scene shows her a lot happier post-coitus. |

Haven: Subverted in season 3. Audrey turns to Duke in season 3 while they're in Colorado following up on a lead for the series' overarching mythology. She stresses about the fact she's going to disappear in three weeks, her identity, and her relationships, before jumping him. It doesn't get beyond an intense kiss, and Duke doesn't push it, despite still having feelings for her. Weirdly, this becomes somewhat of a Trust Password between them, a Something Only They Would Say, because they're the only two who knows what did—and didn't—happen in that hotel room. Played straighter in season 5, when Duke is mourning Jennifer and taken advantage of by Mara, who uses the sex ans an opportunity to turn him into a walking, talking Trouble bomb. |

In Runaways, Nico has a self-admitted tendency to throw herself at people in the aftermath of any stressful or traumatic scenario, although she does not progress to actual sex until well into the second volume of the series. She knows it is not healthy and is not fair to herself or whomever she throws herself at, but she cannot seem to break the pattern. She does break the pattern after Victor cheats on her with Lillie, deciding to let him go in the hopes that Lillie will make him happier. In the 2017 relaunch, she impulsively tries to kiss Karolina, despite Karolina already being taken. | |

Immediately after, Donna has sex (twice) with Eric, her ex-boyfriend/now-platonic-friends-no-really. It turns out to be kind of a bummer for Eric, who thought this meant that she actually wanted to get back together with him. | |

Zelda and Link have this type of relationship in Their Bond, but it doesn't get much farther than heavy kissing. Otherwise, they have a sibling relationship. Link is helping Zelda with her past childhood sexual abuse by Ganondorf. Neither likes it because they do see each other as siblings, and because they're both gay at that, but Link would do anything to help Zelda. | |

This notably occurs between Makoto and Kotonoha as well as Makoto and Sekai.

Played with in a few instances in Double Homework: In the protagonist's and Tamara's relationship, the Barbarossa incident is hinted at (and sometimes more than that) in binding the two of them together. With the protagonist and Rachel, the familiarity of it is something that the former can bring over from his former life before the Barbarossa incident. Ms. Walsh seeks out sex, first with “Jailson Mendes,� whom she meets online and then openly with the protagonist, to deal with her dissatisfaction with her job. |

The Boys: In "Good For The Soul", a guilt-stricken Queen Maeve seeks this from her lesbian ex-girlfriend Elena, but she's still angry over being dumped for the celebrity life of a superhero and is trying to move on, so she rejects her advances. She does try to get Maeve to open up about what's bothering her, but Maeve Cannot Spit It Out (or is unwilling to risk her friend's life by doing so) and just leaves. Maeve later hooks up with Elena only to get dumped again. As she's bisexual she seeks solace with a handsome stud, infuriating Ashley when she walks in on them as the Vought publicity machine has marketed Queen Maeve as a lesbian to score diversity points. |

Cross Ange: This is part of the reason why Ange seduces Tusk in Episode 22 after learning he survived his Disney Death. At first she thinks his presence here is a product of Embryo pulling a cruel illusion trick on her, but she nevertheless wants to believe that the man she loves is indeed still alive and right in front of her. So she begs him to stay as she tackles him to the ground and strips down. Thankfully, there is lots of tenderness to be felt in what becomes Their First Time, and Ange is saved from her current Despair Event Horizon, renewed to fight one last time because Tusk is still by her side. A couple of episodes earlier, Rosalie tries to proposition this to Hilda since their crush objects (Chris for Rosalie, Ange for Hilda) haven't been heard from for some time, with no guarantee that they're safe. Rosalie is upset because Chris has joined Embryo, and Hilda is struggling with her unrequited crush on Ange. While they do attempt to start off, they ultimately realize they can't go past a heated kiss, and instead choose to have a heart-to-heart regarding their love interests. |

In Fallout 4, the Sole Survivor's husband/wife is murdered in the introduction to the game, and they are clearly emotionally distraught by this. They can later romance and sleep with one or more of their companions, which can come off as this, especially since several of the dialogue options can have the Survivor still be emotionally shaken and grieving over their spouse's death. | |

The result was the birth of Asahi, leaving him horrified when he learns he had abandoned a son. | |

Supernatural: Dean and Sam have had flings and relationships that ended badly due to their hunting lifestyle. It's implied to be because of their lifestyle (they are constantly on the move and in danger), why they seek out sex with women so much and to feel validated. Ruby kisses Sam when he is at his lowest and most vulnerable point in the wake of Dean's death, to prove to him that he still has her, at least. He tries to put some distance between them and rebukes her, but she keeps pushing it until he gives in, kisses her back (rather desperately), and has violent, desperate, hair-pulling sex with her. Rather than this showing two people coming together for comfort, it just goes to show how Sam has hit rock-bottom after Dean died. Sera Gamble even compared it to self-mutilating and calling it getting dressed for the prom. |

James Bond: It's hinted, implied and occasionally flat-out stated to be a big part of Bond's relationships with the Bond girls. His few meaningful relationships have ended in betrayal and/or death, hence his cavalier attitude towards women and his pursuit of sex as a pleasurable distraction (much like his drinking habit) or a means to an end. In Death Is Forever, Bond agrees to provide sexual comfort for a female spy who just became the sole living member of her network of thirty agents. |

Tamura from Bokura no Hentai was abused as a child by an older neighbor. He repressed the memories until he lost his virginity. Tamura ends up becoming promiscuous, often trying to have sex with adult men and other male-assigned-at-birth members of the cast (including trans girl Marika). Even as an adult, he engages in strings of one-night stands and flings despite finding them unfulfilling, all traced back to his trauma from being assaulted at a young age. | |

In an episode of Archer, Lana had sex with the eponymous protagonist after he asked for it because Archer learned he had cancer. In the second season finale Archer's fiance Katya sacrifices herself to try and take out Barry (who survives). The third season opens with Archer having run away to, as his mother puts it, "grief-bang the entire Pacific Rim". Archer shamelessly admits that his tragic story turned out to be extremely useful for getting women into bed with him. |

In Wedge's Gamble from the X-Wing Series, Erisi Dlarit tries to sleep with Corran Horn on this pretense; to ease his angst. He refrains and wanders an enemy-controlled city without watching where he's going instead. Probably just as well—rather than getting him captured or killed this leads to unexpected discoveries. Anyway, Erisi is a traitor to the cause. | |

Ménage à 3: Matt demonstrates a slightly unusual variant on several occasions. He usually sleeps around on a whim without regard for how his actions affect others. However, he does sometimes fall for his partners, notably Kiley, and when those relationships break up he can seem genuinely heartbroken. But his response to such heartbreak seems to be to have sex with someone else, for solace. The seriousness of his feelings for Kiley can be measured by the fact that he gets some partners (male and female) to wear a wig resembling Kiley's hair. | |

In Mass Effect 2 the option to have a one-night stand with Jack can unlock for a male Shepard right after Horizon with some careful timing. Why is this considered solace? Because you could potentially get dumped by Ashley on Horizon, probably even in Jack's presence. Additionally, Jack is not the most emotionally stable and has a past of sexual abuse and emotional manipulation so it can be seen as solace from her end as well. This is a stark contrast to the Paragon version of the culmination of her romance path, which the hottest action the player can get is cuddling as a price of an emotionally-charged scene that features how much Jack tears down her barriers to show how she cares for Shepard. |

In Alien³, Ripley and Clemens make love for this reason. Ripley has lost two people who meant a lot to her, and Clemens has spent a large part of his life on a bleak prison planet to atone for his past mistakes. Ripley also does it to deflect a question that Clemens asked her, but why she chose this way to deflect it is this trope ("I've been out here a long time", she says). | |

Halsey's song "Strangers" is about a romance she had while trying to get over a long-term relationship. Ironically, the bridge makes it clear that both girls feel more than just this, but won't admit it because they both think the other doesn't care. On the same album, "I find myself alone at night, unless I'm having sex" from "100 Letters" implies this. |

Crucible (Mass Effect): In the alternative future, Alt-Garrus slept with Perdita to forget about Shepard's apparent death. He ended up getting her pregnant, forced to marry her only for the survived Alt!Shepard to show up with her own big stomach. And this was just the first in a serial of disastrous events that came later, all because Alt.Garrus decided to seek this trope with the wrong person (despite knowing said person has an ulterior motive). Later Alt-Garrus slept with Shepard in the hospital to help them calm down after their son's incident with Garrus's current wife, Perdita. |

A Streetcar Named Desire: Immediately following the event of her husband committing suicide after she told him that he disgusted her because she had found him in bed with a man, Blanche was subjected to a series of deaths in her family and the ultimate loss of the ancestral home. They illustrated the ugliness and brutality of life. To escape from these brutalities and to escape from the lonely void created by her young husband's death, Blanche turned to alcohol and sexual promiscuity. She had an affair with a student at a school where she was a teacher. It is why she lost her job. | |

Mike is trying to get her to return to work with him and KITT, but Sarah would rather lounge on the beach than face reality. Just as Mike, exasperated, is about to leave, she tells him she doesn't want to spend the night alone. Coitus ensues. However, this isn't their first time (she was his girlfriend before he was shipped out to Iraq), and neither does it signal a renewed relationship. | |

Orange Is the New Black: Numerous people in the show are hurting something fierce, owed in part to the prison setting and the drama experienced there, or just how much some of the characters lives sucked out of prison, and they long for love and touch from another person. Piper herself says she can't survive in prison and life without having someone to love and hold, and switches back and forth between sex with her male fiance, her one time girlfriend Stella, and her past girlfriend Alex, who she does actually end up with at the end. She wonders if Prison compels her to act like a worse version of herself by relentlessly on and off pursuing people she cares about and developing sadistic tendencies, or if she was always that way. Also, after Alex is essentially dumped by Piper for her original fiance; she immediately goes to Nicky for some sexual solace. Nicky also seeks out girls for sex to help with her personal issues, and she is a Hopeless Suitor for the straight Morella so her unrequited feelings cause her pain which she seeks to numb through relationships with other girls. Another flashback in season 5 had Alex drowning her sorrows over her love pain with Piper when the latter broke her heart. A Frenchman sits at the bar next to her and recounts his own love pain: his wife slept with multiple people and then married one of them and in response, he drinks heavily and sleeps with many women to try to forget the love pain. Although as he says talking about it and hearing about other people's love pain helps. | |

Revolutionary Girl Utena: Utena secretly suffers from suicidal depression under her tough prince exterior. She ends up in bed with Akio and in a brief romance with Touji, both of which she attempts to use to comfort herself, although the scene with Akio is so dubious she does not seem to like it in the end. She eventually ends up in a romance with Anthy, another girl, and she reveals her protecting Anthy was partly due to her own self-satisfaction but her relationship with Anthy does end up offering her solace, as they grow to love each other. It is implied that many of the admittedly dysfunctional cast sleeps around, partly for this reason. Touga and Akio in particular, though they also do so to further their own goals. |

Ryo from the FAKE series tells Dee he can "go ahead and do it" to him while in a depressed state. Dee answers with a slap with a Get A Hold Of Yourself Man out of anger, as he is Above the Influence and would never take advantage of someone who's head isn't on straight and vulnerable. | |

In Horatio Hornblower novel Flying Colours, Hornblower finds himself stranded at the benevolent Comte de Gracay's over the winter as a fugitive from Napoleon's (in)justice; he and his two men can't leave until spring for logistical reasons. Feeling trapped and fretting over his inevitable Court Martial for the loss of his ship, his mood grows fouler and more disturbed until Gracay's widowed daughter-in-law Marie offers herself to him. His Cabin Fever is relieved immediately, but now he's also wracked with guilt over betraying the Comte's trust, the only man in France who would shelter three British sailors. | |

Arthas: Rise of the Lich King, an entry of the extended lore of the World of Warcraft franchise written by Christie Golden, follows the titular character through his life up past his ascension to the Frozen Throne. At one point during the initial outbreak of the plague of undeath, Arthas becomes overwhelmed by the horrors befalling his people and his own growing sense of frustration and helplessness. He and Jaina - at this point his ex-fiancée - seek comfort in each other as they set up camp outside a nearby infected town. Notable for the fact that Arthas is explicitly described as still weeping when the scene fades to black. | |

In the Fairy Tail fanfic The Spirit Doll, Natsu and Lucy had done this after the battle with Tartaros. After they had both suffered the loss of someone they loved (ie. Igneel and Aquarius) with Lucy having the extra solace of almost losing Natsu to go with it. They need the reassurance that both of them were still there and alive, not realizing their actual feelings for one another. This led to Lucy having a daughter during the timeskip as well as the events of the story to take place. | |

With the help of The Question, she manages to regain her emotional equilibrium, but when she needs to kill a young girl that Intergang had brainwashed into being a suicide bomber she is found drunk again and in bed with another woman. She herself admits that this is a pattern, and after every emotional trauma she either runs back to the bottle or into the nearest bed. | |

In the Gears of War novels, this was how Marcus Fenix and Anya Stroud first hooked up some sixteen years prior to the first game. Both were already attracted to each other, but mutual hesitancy about a relationship (due to regs against an officer and an enlisted man being romantically involved) kept them from acting on it until after the battle of Aspho Fields. Marcus' best friend/surrogate brother Carlos and Anya's mother Helena were both killed in action, and after an awards ceremony a month later, Marcus and Anya were drunk and grief-stricken enough to say "the hell with it". They managed to stay together afterwards due to most of those who knew about it looking the other way (since Marcus was a war hero and Anya the daughter of one). | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: In Season 6, Buffy suffers from long-term depression after being taken from heaven back into the real world, and so engages in a Secret Relationship with bad-boy vampire Spike—who happens to be in love with her. Unfortunately, Buffy's guilt over using him only makes her feel worse and she eventually breaks off with him, causing Spike to seek solace in the arms of ex-demon Anya, who'd been recently left at the altar by Xander. The trope is directly name dropped by Anya in "Entropy", when she is confronted by Xander, as she states that the tryst was not an act of revenge but one of solace. When Buffy's mother dies, Angel does a Character Overlap in "Forever" just to comfort her, but has to leave early to prevent this trope from happening. |

In Katawa Shoujo, Misha tries to seduce her best friend Shizune's boyfriend Hisao because she's depressed and looking for comfort over the fact that she loves Shizune and knows she can never have her (while Shizune and Hisao have already had Their First Time). The self-contradiction here should tell you why "comforting" her is a terrible idea. Even worse, the sexual act is very painful for Misha. They don't get caught, but they both fall into depression over the guilt of betraying Shizune. Topping it off, choosing to comfort her triggers the route's Bad Ending. | |

Friends: Chandler and Monica's first liaison comes about as a result of Monica becoming depressed at Ross's wedding to Emily - his second - while she is still single. Add in a wedding guest thinking that Monica is Ross's mother and she's not feeling great about herself. When Chandler tells Monica how beautiful she is she throws herself at him, and while it at first looks to be a one-night stand the two of them can't wait to be back in each other's arms. It's the start of what many viewers consider the series' definitive relationship - and certainly its healthiest. Subverted in "The One Where Joey Speaks French" when, after Rachel's father has a heart attack, she turns to Ross for comfort and sex, although Ross rejects her. The next morning Rachel is annoyed as instead of being comforted she was left feeling "stupid and embarrassed". |

Averted with a lampshade on an episode of Remington Steele. After Remington comforts Laura in the aftermath of a personal tragedy, in which this trope does not occur, Laura comments on what might have happened. Remington, a gentleman rogue, finds the notion of them ending their UST that way offensive. | |
