* Tsukune Aono of ''Manga/RosarioPlusVampire'' may very well be the living, breathing incarnate of this trope; no matter how many times girls proposition him, sometimes while half-naked, he will turn them down. It's taken UpToEleven in the Flower Offering arc: in an effort to avoid an ArrangedMarriage, Mizore doped him with a powerful aphrodisiac made from a local flower known to the yuki-onna, said aphrodisiac having a reputation in the monster world for being among the best, and then pretty much threw her naked body at him while literally ''begging'' him to knock her up; even with all of those factors, Tsukune ''still'' managed to resist her advances.

** Molly Carpenter, daughter of Harry's best friend Michael Carpenter, has had a crush on Harry from her teen years, but Harry refrains from taking advantage of her because of how he feels it would make him look in Michael's eyes. [[spoiler:When Molly becomes Harry's wizard apprentice it goes UpToEleven since he has more authority over her and is involved even more with her life, but he still refuses because it would be taking advantage of her even more now.]]

* ''Manga/HowToTreatALadyKnightRight'': In a bonus chapter of volume 1, ChivalrousPervert Houli discovers that Leo CantHoldHerLiquor and is a giggly, playful drunk. When Leo strips off the bottom half of her armor and plops herself onto Houli's lap, Houli is pervert enough to want to feel up her rear, but just chivalrous enough to resist the urge. At least initially, as he does start to think maybe it's okay since she won't find out. Fortunately at that moment Leo unwittingly punches him into the sky.

** Hayasaka tried to tempt Shirogane into doing things to Kaguya when he came to visit, saying that she wouldn't remember any of it due to her fever, the two of them were going to be left alone for three hours, and [[UpToEleven the walls were sound-proof]]. He manages to avoid giving into temptation, though he says that it took every ounce of his willpower. Perhaps more importantly given the nature of their relationship, however, is that he ''also'' resisted the temptation to ask how she really felt about him or about any of her weaknesses.

* ''Manga/MakenKi'': Takeru's level self-restraint [[{{Zigzagged}} varies according to the scene]] in the manga.

Only Bob knows that it wouldn't be right. He politely (and often insistently) declines her offer, pointing out that it would be wrong to take advantage of her like this. He tells her this while she's coming onto him and likely in a near-predator manner.

This is almost always a guy refusing a girl because, on TV, [[AManIsAlwaysEager men refusing sex is unthinkable.]] Also note that if the character had slept with the intoxicated person, it might be [[QuestionableConsent considered rape]], depending on the level of intoxication. If the character or the narrative seems to be laying it on too thick with praise for his behaviour, it can come across as WantsAPrizeForBasicDecency.

* In ''The Cutting Edge'' the poor hero refuses the drunken DefrostingIceQueen, she reacts very badly and yells at him, he goes off alone and depressed and gets very, very drunk, and then TheVamp turns up and lacks his nobility...

* This is a common plot device in fics that [[BodyguardCrush pair Lyn with Kent]] in the ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemElibe Fire Emblem]]'' fandom. Kent's straightlaced and lawful personality, mixed with his romantic feelings for Lyn (which are canon in the game), are supposed to make him keep any pushiness or selfish tendencies aside in regards to a relationship with Lyn, and possibly "aid" them in a Hurt/Comfort scenario. Whether it works or not in the fics, eh, it's a case-by-case scenario.

* In the ''Series/{{Smallville}}'' episode "Nicodemus", Lana Lang tries to seduce [[Franchise/{{Superman}} Clark]] under the influence of a mind-altering flower. He puts up a fight and she ends up "only" kissing him.

* Literature/TheKingkillerChronicle: In ''Literature/TheNameOfTheWind'', Kvothe finds it best if he doesn't follow up on Denna's request to join her for [[SkinnyDipping a swim in the lake]] after she's been subject to denner resin.

* In ''LightNovel/KonoNakaNiHitoriImoutoGaIru'', Shougo just barely invokes this trope. In episode 3, both Miyabi and Konoe feed him various supplements to boost his virility, then they spend the night with him in his bed, to "train" him to only like girls after mistaking him for being HoYay with [[SweetPollyOliver Mizutani]].

* In an episode of ''Series/{{Moonlight}}'', Beth gets a sample of a drug called Black Crystal made out of vampire blood. The vampire who makes the drug entices her to try the drug, which will give her the rush of what it means to be a vampire and live in the night, pointing at Beth's beautiful face and how, pretty soon, it'll start to grow old. In a moment of weakness, Beth takes the drug and, later, arrives at Mick's place trying to seduce him. However, it seems she's not trying to seduce him for sex but in order for him to turn her. Mick hold her under the shower but refuses to bite, knowing that this is the drug talking but also himself wishing to be human again.

* Inverted in ''Plague'' in the ''Literature/{{Gone}}'' series, when Taylor took advantage of Sam when he was drunk.

* In ''VisualNovel/SablesGrimoire'' two of the resident [[CuteMonsterGirl Cute Monster Girls]] throw themselves at the titular Sable on their respective routes.

In both cases Sable (a man with ambivalent feelings toward romance anyway) turns them down, unwilling to have sex with someone unless genuinely and mutually in love with them.
