passion killer
Romance-ending revelation
Something that destroys romantic or sexual mood.
A passion killer can be a person, circumstance, or object that interrupts intimacy or makes it impossible: Nothing's a bigger passion killer than your roommate walking in.
The term often describes unsexy clothing, especially unflattering underwear: She called the granny panties a total passion killer.
