And John Irving has other issues (like bears and wrestling)
And Vienna. And hookers. And really weird sex with inappropriate people.
Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
novels and movies where people performing cunnilingus are similarly clonked, and break their noses on the pubic bone.
This is making me think of Chasing Amy, but I dare not google to make sure.

Nobody is mentioning the huge SCREWING YOUR SISTER I.E. INCEST issue John Irving has???
(Edit: I guess that would be covered under "really weird sex with inappropriate people.")

Hey. New board.
Still excited about The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.
So far it's getting pretty good reviews.
Sadly, I don't think I'll be able to convince any of my friends to go see it with me. I might be walking to a Pasadena theater all on my own.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Well, Garp doesn't have a sister. Although, his mom screws a comatose soldier (hence the existence of Garp), so you could say that the not-kosher, non-con sex issue is quite present.

Haha. I forgot about that scene until you mentioned it. Those were some funny stories.

Garp still has weird and inappropriate sex with -- hell, I can't remember any more -- a friend's wife?

If I only had a brain...
Just for the record, what sort of sex is not weird?

::resists urge to google::
I think if you judge sex against itself, you're going to align "weird" within its boundaries. If all sex is weird, but some is really fucking weird, then the application of the term will shift.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
I can't recall any other instances of specific circumstances that were identical to the one in question, so not quite a trope yet IMHO. But I have run across literature with other vaguely analogous mishaps. And Beecher and Robson acted out something like it on Oz, with the car crash being replaced by malicious intent.
