You may take my body, but you will never have my cliches!!

There's this convention where the heroine is captured by the bad guy. He's menacing, he's nasty, maybe he even cuts her just a little tiny bit. But, he just can't make the time to dishonor her in every possible way until, say tomorrow at 3:30/after the festivities/FedEx arrives with his Viagra. I have seen it sooo many times.

This of course, gives the hero plenty of time to rescue her before she is sullied. Dun get me wrong, I don't mind that she remains unsullied. I just wish there could be a new, believable reason why the villain doesn't have his evol way with her at the earliest possible opportunity since he clearly relishes the idea so very much.
