** When Joey mentions finding a drunk girl passed out in his and Chandler's apartment following a party, the rest of the gang asks him in a panic what he did to her. He rather angrily informs them "I put a blanket over her in case she was cold and I put a bucket next to her in case she needed to throw up!", making it abundantly clear that he never even ''thought'' about taking advantage of her.

** In "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS2E16BewitchedBotheredAndBewildered Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered]]", Xander is Above The Influence of [[LovePotion every female in Sunnydale]], particularly Buffy... well everyone except for Cordelia, who the spell was intended for. The spell was botched, and she ended up the only woman ''protected'' from the spell.

** Later on, when Steven and Laura are in college, and Laura seemingly gets drunk at a party, Steve has to put her to bed, and she tries to kiss him. Steve resists her advances and leaves. Laura later confesses to her friend Maxine, that she was only slightly tipsy that night and wanted to see what Steve would do. [[WhoYouAreInTheDark The fact that Steve resisted despite having a chance after pining for her for years showed her the kind of guy he really was:]] [[SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan the kind if guy she really wanted.]]

* ''Series/FamilyMatters'' did an episode where Steve Urkel gets accidentally splashed with some pheromones and has to fight off aggressive advances from the normally-hostile Laura. In the end, she doesn't seem to remember what happened, and the situation [[StatusQuoIsGod reverts to status quo]].

* ''Film/{{Superbad}}'': Seth and Evan plan to mildly avert this, hoping that the targets of their affections will be more open to hooking up with them if they've had a couple of drinks. Ultimately [[spoiler: played straight. In Evan's case, although he willingly goes into a bedroom alone with Becca, as soon as he realises just how smashed she is, he stops them going any further than kissing. The same happens with Seth and Jules, but with the roles reversed. The stone-cold sober Jules makes it clear she'd be into getting with the utterly plastered Seth, but not while he's as shit-housed as he is at the party]].

** In ''Literature/StormFront'', Susan Rodriguez accidentally drinks the wrong potion (A LovePotion instead of an escape potion) and begins aggressively coming onto Harry, whose chivalry is a recurring theme throughout the series. Complicating the matter is that Harry is naked at the moment (he had been in the shower before she arrived) and they are trapped together in a small warded circle by an attacking demon. Ultimately, Harry defeats the demon and avoids Susan's amorous advances long enough for the potion to wear off. [[spoiler:They do sleep together at a later point after she's sobered up.]]

* In ''Fanfic/SpiderManFinding Home'', Peter Parker actively avoids doing anything more than kiss Kate Bishop while she's drunk even if he's genuinely attracted to her. [[spoiler:When Kate makes it clear that she wants them to have sex after a night out, she stops Peter's concerns about if he'd be taking advantage of her by revealing that she made a recording of herself prior to them going out where she explicitly stated that she intends to take Peter's virginity that evening]].

* In "[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/40945617/ Spider-Man: Finding Home]]", Peter Parker actively avoids doing anything more than kiss Kate Bishop while she's drunk even if he's genuinely attracted to her. [[spoiler:When Kate makes it clear that she wants them to have sex after a night out, she stops Peter's concerns about if he'd be taking advantage of her by revealing that she made a recording of herself prior to them going out where she explicitly stated that she intends to take Peter's virginity that evening]].

* In Laurie Halse Anderson's book ''Literature/Twisted2010'', protagonist Tyler Miller is given the opportunity to sleep with his crush Bethany Milbury at a party but refuses to do so on account of her being drunk.

* In ''ComicBook/IdentityCrisis'', it's revealed that members of the Justice League erased the memories of villains who learned their secret identities, and mind-wiped Dr Light to make him less dangerous. Subsequently, ComicBook/{{Batman}} becomes concerned that ComicBook/{{Catwoman}} may have also been brainwashed, as she abruptly switched from being his bitter enemy to a [[DatingCatwoman flirty]] AntiVillain. He deliberately distances himself from her because he fears that he would be taking advantage of her if they did get involved.

* ''Series/LegendOfTheSeeker'': In one episode Richard is [[MindControl Confessed]] by another Confessor who has PowerIncontinence. Kahlan realizes this might be their only chance to consummate their relationship without Confessing him herself[[note]]She's wrong, by the way: the fact that [[ThePowerIsLove he's already in love with her]] later turns out to protect him.[[/note]] and has the other Confessor order him to have sex with her. But she loses her nerve before they get any further than kissing because she knows in the back of her mind that Richard is JustFollowingOrders due to being made to be in love with the other Confessor.

* Early on in ''Manga/YamadaKunAndTheSevenWitches'', when Miyamura suggests that Yamada could use the [[CharmPerson charm power]] on Shiraishi to make her do anything he wants, Yamada first has {{nosebleed}}s at the thought, but then refuses.

* In ''Series/GameOfThrones'', Tyrion Lannister is wedded to Sansa Stark in an arranged marriage by [[BigBad Tywin]]. Neither are happy with the predicament as not only is he twenty or more years older than her but their families are at war with the other. On the night of their wedding, Tyrion who's been getting drunk all night sees Sansa start to undress and get it over with when Tyrion who's often seen in the pleasure of naked women tells her to stop and that he won't do it and that she won't be harmed by him.
** And he continues to keep to his word, even under mounting pressure from his father to consummate (and thus legitimize) the marriage and produce a legitimate Lannister-controlled heir to Winterfell and the North.

* Averted in ''Series/{{House}}'', where Cameron gets high and booty calls Chase. He objects for about 5 seconds before caving after she tells him this is not the time to be the good guy.

** Averted and gender-flipped in the first season episode "The Pineapple Incident", when a sober Trudy eagerly hauls a completely smashed Ted up to his apartment for sex after he propositions her, but, [[DoubleStandard no one considers her sleazy or irresponsible at all]].

* ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989'': Eric has a girl he rescued from the beach obviously into him, given how she clings to him when he helps her to the castle, and she happily spends the entire next day with him. This girl also makes him laugh, is gracious as she is silent, and is full of surprises. He hesitates on kissing her, however, because as he tells her, he doesn't even know her name. There's also the issue of Sacred Hospitality in that she's technically his guest. After Sebastian whispers that her name is Ariel and Ariel nods when he asks, Eric loosens up.

** In the ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'' episode "[[Recap/StarTrekVoyagerS3E15BloodFever Blood Fever]]", B'Elanna Torres has her mating instincts triggered and comes on to Tom Paris, ''hard''. He admits that he'd very much like to do what she suggests, but he recognizes that she's not in her right mind and refuses to take advantage. ([[TheyDo They get together]] in the following season, and ultimately marry.)
