| - A character with this state of mind believes that Sex Is Evil, but can't escape his own sexuality. Operating under ethical guidelines completely opposite to those of an Ethical Slut, the character who sees the world through the glasses of Sex Is Evil and I Am Horny is likely to care little, if at all, for the people he has sex with, as he considers them "dirty" and might resent them or worse for "leading him into temptation." The character isn't necessarily a rapist, it's enough for him (or her) to be a Jerkass about his sexuality under the presumption that Sex Is Evil, "unmarried non-virgins are whores," or similar. He is likely to eventually take it out on his partner(s), on himself, or both. If he does commit sexual harassment or worse, he might be Obliviously Evil about it. He is likely to show his consideration by choosing victims who are already Defiled Forever so that some extra abuse really won't make any difference... to him, that is. In a setting where Sex Is Evil, this character will exemplify the evils of sexuality. If he makes a Heel Face Turn and become Good, he is likely to forgive his victims for tempting him. In a setting where sex is not evil, the character is likely to be contrasted with a Chivalrous Pervert, Good Bad Girl, or fully operational Ethical Slut. A character with this mindset is likely to think that at least some men are incapable of controlling their sexual urges, so women should expect them to do sexual harassment or worse and be Crazy Prepared in various ways. Including trying to second-guess what these men might find attractive - and then try her best to not look attractive, lest these men might get their urges. Of course, since each individual man has his individual preferences (and also since the whole "oh no, I got aroused" thing is just an excuse anyway), even wearing a Burqua would not be a safe in this regard. And yet, some particularly unsympathetic or tragic character may take this attitude one step further, demanding the Doublethink that we should all consider men to be some kind of monsters while still consider them to be the superior gender - morally and otherwise. This is done by blaming women for (by their appearance or mere existence) "tempting" men, making any sex-crimes against them their own fault. Naturally, many works portray this attitude as barbaric misogyny. With or without any such aspects of ideology or social structure, a character of either gender may use another character's attractiveness or way of dressing as a Lame Excuse to misbehave and then claim Never My Fault. While this trope is traditionally male, these days it's far from Always Male. However, it's often played out in the way that a male character with this trope is destructive and abusive, while a woman with the same underlying mindset is self-destructive. See also Troubled Sympathetic Bigot, Then Let Me Be Evil, and Internalized Categorism. Contrast both Celibate Hero and Ethical Slut: The two ways of being a polar opposite of this trope. Contrast Romanticized Abuse for when abusive sexual gratification is played for Fetish Fuel rather then angst.
