Tropedia

  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

Basic Trope: Two characters have sex in a vehicle.

  • Straight: Alice and Bob have sex in a car.
  • Exaggerated:
  • Justified: The two characters are in the mood and nowhere near a private bed, so they opt for the next best thing—namely, the backseat.
  • Inverted:
  • Subverted:
    • Alice and Bob park their car and decide to play cards.
    • Alternatively, an onlooker sees the car rocking and hears enthusiastic shouting, but it turns out that Alice and Bob are listening to the radio and have just won the lottery.
  • Double Subverted: An officer finds Alice and Bob playing cards in the car. When the officer decides nothing bad is going on and walks away, Alice and Bob decide to have sex anyway.
  • Parodied:
    • Alice and Bob go to buy a new car. They have to kick out people having sex in the first one they look at.
    • Alternatively, Alice and Bob go to buy a new car. Their idea of "test drive" is to have sex in the car and promptly buy the most comfortable one.
  • Deconstructed: Alice and Bob try to get into position in the backseat, but the cramped space and itchy seat covers kill the mood.
  • Reconstructed: Alice and Bob are in a van, and there is more than plenty of room for nookie.
  • Zig Zagged:
    • Alice has A Date with Rosie Palms in her car.
    • Alternatively, all the audience and the other characters know is that Alice and Bob were alone in a vehicle together. Did They or Didn't They? ensues, with enough evidence presented to support either side.
  • Averted: Alice and Bob don't have sex in the car.
  • Enforced: The writers believe that the audiences will expect to see some nookie should the two romantic leads end up secluded in the backseat of a car.
  • Lampshaded: "Tell me, do you always keep condoms in your glove box?"
  • Invoked: "We're in my car, and since we've got nothing better to do..." (Wink wink)
  • Defied: Alice and Bob avoid car sex because it just wouldn't be special.
  • Discussed: "Alice and Bob drove to Make-Out Point last night and lost their virginities to each other in the backseat."
  • Conversed: "Ugh, a car just isn't a good place for making love. They could have easily found a bed somewhere."
