* In ''[[https://ficbook.net/readfic/4216711 There, Beyond the Pass]]'', Norn and Alice, having lingered at CannotSpitItOut level for years, are trying to find their way in the mountains in a horrible frost. The constant danger finally triggers them into admitting their feelings, which is immediately followed by consummation. In their case, however, there is another reason for the quick development: Norn can only transfer his supernatural powers to Alice via sexual intercourse, and they both need these powers to survive.
* ''FanFic/GreenTeaRescue''; Izuku is forced to stay over at Ochako's apartment after the Sports Festival due to rain, and when they have a brief discussion and freak out over [[ThereIsOnlyOneBed sleeping arrangements]] they quickly come clean that they love each other. Their kissing soon leads to Ochako on top of Izuku, but just as he reaches up to take her bra off [[spoiler: Ochako's alarm clock goes off, waking her up from her EroticDream and reminding her that Izuku was too exhausted from the Festival to do much besides crash into bed back at his house. Ochako [[RingRingCrunch smashes her clock]] in retribution]].

* PlayedWith on ''Series/{{Haven}}.'' The fact Nathan and Audrey love each other is an OpenSecret, to the point that ThePlan in season 4 is [[spoiler: to have Audrey kill Nathan to end the Troubles, because there's a loophole that says they will end if she kills the person she loves most.]] Audrey confesses to him, though in a moment of anger, but it isn't until [[TheStoic Nathan]] says it aloud and kisses her in the following episode that the consummation happens.

* ''VisualNovel/KatawaShoujo'': In Lily's route, [[spoiler: Hisao and Lily have sex minutes after Lily confesses to him.]]

Confession Causes Consummation is when the first confession of love between characters is ''immediately'' followed by sex. It's not unusual for the immediate sex to be used as the couple's moment of RelationshipUpgrade or the confirmation that TheyDo, as they will afterwards be treated as an OfficialCouple. It also doesn't have to be their first time having sex, but it is their first time confessing their feelings.

* Subverted in ''Series/{{Lost}}'', since the love confession is heavily implied but not word-for-word: The infamous LoveTriangle between Kate, Sawyer, and Jack is filled with a lot of pining, {{longing look}}s, sexual tension, etc. Sawyer in Kate in particular have ''bucketloads'' of BelligerentSexualTension up until they are kidnapped by the Others and locked in cages. Kate is adamant about getting her, Sawyer, and Jack back to the safety of their camp, not knowing that they are no longer on the same island. When pressed on the matter, Sawyer, rarely softspoken, confesses that he never told her because he wanted her to think they had a chance of living.
* Subverted in ''Series/{{Riverdale}}'', with the ''sex'' implied this time: main characters Betty and Jughead become an OfficialCouple after ''loads'' of ShipTease in the sixth episode of the first season. The two remain together despite the stressful situations they find themselves in, from their family issues to investigating the murder of Jason Blossom. It takes until the season one finale for them to finally say the words "I love you" to one another--it's ''heavily'' implied that had the Serpents not showed up on the doorstep there and then, they would have had sex.

Compare FourthDateMarriage, which goes beyond just sex. Compare this to SexEqualsLove, wherein the sex is the ''beginning'' of romantic feelings, and InsatiableNewlyweds, wherein recently a recently married couple can't keep their hands off each other. Also not to be confused with CoitusEnsues, which is when sex between characters comes out of nowhere/for no reason/grinds the plot to a halt.

* ''VideoGame/StardewValley'': The ten heart events of most of the marriage candidates involves a [[FadeToBlack]] just as they confess they really love you, though it varies on the candidate as to how much they've said already (they are explicitly dating you after all) and up to the player whether anything actually happens when the scene ends.

* ''Literature/TheInfernalDevices'': Though Tessa and Will obviously have more-than-friendly feelings for one another, Will's belief that anyone who loves him will be cursed to die drives him to push her (and others) away. This includes his best friend, Jem, who loses his patience with Will's destructive tendencies, and tells Tessa as much after they have to drag him home drunk. It's during this talk that ''Jem'' confesses he holds feelings for Tessa, too. Despite her shock, the two end up in a heavy make out session that leads to some clothes being pulled off and them gravitating to the bed...[[SubvertedTrope until they knock over Jem's medicine, which stops them.]]

* ''Series/GameOfThrones'': Robb clearly has his sights set on Talisa from the moment they meet during the aftermath of a battle, but neither of them says anything of it. After Robb is pushed into an arranged marriage with one of the Frey girls, however, a late night visit from Talisa finally gets him to spit out that she's the only one he wants to marry. The two immediately have sex afterwards.

* ''Film/{{Avatar}}'': While trying to fit in with the Na'vi people ''while occupying'' a Na'vi body, Jake becomes closer and closer to TheChiefsDaughter, Neytiri. Though at first annoyed at his helplessness, Jake's gradual growth on Pandora has her side-eyed glares turning into longing looks. Jake is finally initiated into the Na'vi tribe, after which he and Neytiri take a walk through one of their sacred forests. Neytiri suggests he pick one of the Na'vi girls as his mate, but Jake makes it clear she's the only one for him--very, ''very'' clear. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, Jake fails to mention the impending attack on said forest beforehand.]]
