All three instances of The Boys super-deadly sex likely owe some inspiration to a famous essay originally published way back in 1971 titled 'Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex.'

Oglaf has a story about the Snow Queen, spirit of winter, who needs to be sexually satisfied or spring is not going to happen. Wonder Woman is just about the only exception to those rules - a major superheroine who was lucky enough to get established back when superhero comics were still fairly young, who isn't part of a team (necessarily, anyway - there is always the Justice League stuff too, but she was a solo hero first) nor a counterpart of an existing male hero.
