Given that A Man Is Not a Virgin, a leading man who has no sexual experience will generally be mortally embarrassed about the fact and feel the need to get de-flowered as soon as possible to prove himself. The plot generally follows his attempts to meet girls/women and get them into bed. Generally speaking, this is a comedy film, so his attempts are inept or nerdish and Hilarity Ensues. If the movie was made after 2000 then there will invariably be an Unrated Edition DVD promising even more titillating moments. Examples of Sex as Rite-Of-Passage include:

  • Given that A Man Is Not a Virgin, a leading man who has no sexual experience will generally be mortally embarrassed about the fact and feel the need to get de-flowered as soon as possible to prove himself. The plot generally follows his attempts to meet girls/women and get them into bed. Generally speaking, this is a comedy film, so his attempts are inept or nerdish and Hilarity Ensues. Conventionally, the hero is successful, thus proving he is a man, and reassuring insecure male virgins in the audience that they, too, will someday become men through sex. An Aesop about love being more important than sex will then be shoehorned in, and the hero will settle down with one nice girl. This seems to be so that the movie can't be called immoral, despite being preoccupied with proving oneself through casual sex. If the movie was made after 2000 then there will invariably be an Unrated Edition DVD promising even more titillating moments. This trope could have originated from such warped standards in the real world, or contributed to those standards; probably, both. Often a subtrope of the Coming of Age Story. Contrast with the Celibate Hero theory, which says, "Real men can resist sex." Compare Sex Is Cool. Often found in the Sex Comedy. A subtrope of this trope is Professional Sex Ed.
