History Main / ConvenientlyCommonKink

* Inverted in a Harry Potter fanfic where a CrackPairing who would otherwise have nothing in common gets together because they discover their respective kinks for wearing silk stockings and touching silk stockings worn by someone else fit together nicely.

A staple of erotic fiction: love is never having to explain your fantasies, whoever you choose for a partner will happen to share them (or at least be ''really'' receptive), regardless of how unlikely this is or in what situation you present them. Some stories make [[{{Wangst}} angsting]] over this a plot point; most don't try.

* In ''Webcomic/{{Housepets}} Joey, a dog who likes dressing as a cat, met his girlfriend Squeak, [[InterspeciesRomance a mouse]], when he pounced on her and she turned out to be into that.

* Subverted in ''Series/PenniesFromHeaven'', where the wife finally goes along with the main character's fetish (lipsticked nipples) in such a way that it practically plays as a rape scene. The incident signifies the [[DysfunctionJunction extreme dysfunction]] of the marriage, and is a contributing cause of all kinds of ugly consequences.

* In a quick throwaway scene in ''ComicBook/{{Transmetropolitan}}'', a woman stops by a man who's sitting on the ground, crying his eyes out, to ask him what's wrong. He tearfully explains that he doesn't have any friends- [[ImAHumanitarian because he keeps eating them]]. To his delight, she says "Me too." Then she asks him whether he's hungry.[[note]]Although the scene ends there and is ambiguous on whether either of them is going to eat the other, or whether they're planning on going out and making a new "friend" together.[[/note]]

* In ''TMI'' (a ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' sex comedy), a game of Truth Or Dare leads Twilight to confess to her friends that she has a thing for interspecies porn. Rarity--who's already painted as a zebra because of an earlier Dare from the same game--reveals that ''she'' has a thing for costumes and elaborate roleplaying, and asks if Twi is up for a little "rumble in the jungle". Then in the sequel, ''TMI 2: The Rainbow Connection'', Rainbow Dash realizes she has a fetish about being a BadassInDistress, so she asks if Twilight and Rarity would roleplay as hostile natives and take her captive. (In part three, the answer is yes, and actual porn ensues.)

* Parodied in ''Film/NotAnotherTeenMovie'', when Catherine laments that she's never had a guy take a dump on her chest. A teenaged boy proclaims, "That's appalling! I can't believe no one's ever taken a dump on your chest."

-->"Also, the summary of the episode describes what happens to Tori, the Blue Ranger, as being 'bound to a cactus,' so if that happens to be your exact fetish (and this is the Internet, so it is), get ready for a good time."

* Louis CK once told a joke about going out with a girl who had a rape fetish, they made out but never had sex because she stopped his advances. Later, when she asked him why they didn't have sex he said "because I thought you didn't want to." She then told him she enjoys when a guy "just holds me down and fucks me!" Played straight when Louie informs her "oh, you should have told me, I would have happily done that for you." Then subverted when the girl tells him it has to be forced to feel real and dangerous, to which he responds [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil "I'm not gunna rape you on the off chance that you're into that shit!"]]

* ''Literature/GrandmasterOfDemonicCultivationMoDaoZuShi'': It's clear in the extra chapters that both protagonists share a lot of [[CasualKink kinks like bondage and even a consensual non-consent kink]]. Wei Wuxian really [[KinkyRolePlaying likes blabbing out scenarios that sound like rape play]] whenever they get naughty and enjoys teasing his partner until he snaps and he gets tied up. Lan Wangji indulges along his partner's kinks, loves to tie him up if provoked enough, and his EroticDream reveal that he indeed likes the rape play scenarios (much to his embarrassment) that Wei Wuxian comes up with during their naughty times.

* ''Manga/OmujoOmutsuJoshi:''
** DramaticIrony is used to play with this trope. Male lead Shouta wonders if wearing diapers is becoming some kind of schoolgirl trend after he meets Ichigo, a ShrinkingViolet who wears diapers because she wets herself when she gets nervous, and learns that Morei, a girl who's loved him since grade school, has a diaper fetish. The irony is that Morei ''doesn't'' have a fetish but, after witnessing an AccidentalPervert moment between him and Ichigo, thinks Shouta does and wants to use that to get closer to him. Morei's inability to explain this properly causes Shouta to interpret what ''she'' meant as a love confession as something else entirely without her realizing.
** Later, Muni Nunota makes exactly the same assumption Morei did for exactly the same reason. The difference is that she actually is a fetishist, making this a straighter version of the trope as she's excited at the prospect of including Shouta and, later, Morei, in her play.

** Surprisingly happens to (of all people, really) [[GodModeSue ultimate badass]] Victor Cachat. After he got himself a girlfriend at last, after all those years of being a CelibateHero, he kinda snaps and heaps all his pent-up frustration (they've also got a serious argument just before) on her when they finally found the time to do the horizontal mambo, and wallows in misery and self-guilt afterwards. To his astonishment, Thandi ''just so happened'' to be into SM, and actually wanted it ''more''. [[HilarityEnsues hilarity ensued indeed]] -- the teasing poor Victor received from her and his self-appointed CoolBigSis [[HookerWithAHeartOfGold Ginny Usher]] made him "dark and utterly miserable".

* In ''{{Film/Secretary}}'', Creator/MaggieGyllenhaal wants to be a submissive. She works for James Spader, who wants to be a dominant. CoitusEnsues.

* Discussed in ''Film/{{Maleficent}}'' fanfic [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/2038305/chapters/4425591 Your Servant Mistress]] - it is mentioned that dominant women are rare, and Diaval is mistaken for dominant, while he's actually submissive. Of course, Maleficent has the ConvenientlyCommonKink of dominating men.

* Subverted in [[http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=1864#comic this]] ''Webcomic/SaturdayMorningBreakfastCereal''. The lovers share interests in BDSM and feet, but then the lady reveals that she has a fetish for [[BestialityIsDepraved armadilloes]], which weirds the guy out. Then it's revealed that the scenario was a "realistic sex book for kids" to teach them that this trope does ''not'' apply in real life.
* ''Webcomic/{{Collar 6}}'' - The entire world is apparently into BDSM. The start of the divergent history of this world was an ancient (as in, Roman or earlier) discovery of Atlantis, and how they had perfected a lifestyle/society/government that combined BDSM with spirituality in such a way that it lead to world peace and sexual-lifestyle-based KiManipulation. The few areas of the world that didn't ascribe to this are referred to as "Puritan."

** Elliot and Sarah both have [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2011-01-05 superhero related fantasies]].
** Tedd, who's into GenderBending and furries, and Grace, who is a shapeshifting alien squirrel-girl.
* The Basitins in ''{{Webcomic/Twokinds}}'' have a WordOfGod-supported species-wide foot fetish. Considering how sexually-repressed they are, [[OurNudityIsDifferent unwrapped feet]] can stop a room full of Eastern Basitins with ease.

* There are a LOT of BDSM practitioners in ''{{Webcomic/Sunstone}}''. Largely justified though as they all either met each other through the scene, or entered the scene due to meeting each other.

* In spite of clothes being a cultural option in ''Webcomic/BittersweetCandyBowl'', if you wear clothes and show your undergarments, things can get ''interesting''.

* Steven Wright once recounted a tale in which he boarded a bus and met a nymphomaniac who's into Jewish cowboys. After she explained her problem to him, Steven introduced himself as "Bucky Goldstein".
** Lewis Grizzard also told a variation of it occurring on a train, and the fellow introducing himself to the nympho with the line, "Hopalong Ginsberg, at your service".
** A similar joke was popular in Soviet Union.

* A subtrope of this would be "[[EveryoneIsGay Hooray, You're Gay!]]": in fanfiction, if one character is gay and in love (or lust) with another, then (with a few angsty exceptions) that other character WILL be gay and in mutual love/lust, no matter how unlikely.
** How unlikely? It can go to "Hooray, You're Gay and in love with your sister who is in love with you!" One might surmise that in many fanfiction universes, there's no such thing as the UsefulNotes/WestermarckEffect.
* Weight gain and inflation fetish stories will commonly have the main girl(s) happen to find at least one person who's into whatever fetish they're subjected to. In cases of FanFiction, the girl's love interest will suddenly have an interest in this fetish for plot convenience.
** And if her usual love interest isn't into it, [[LesYay her same-sex friend]] [[FanPreferredCouple will be]].

* ''Franchise/WonderWoman'' [[ComicBook/WonderWoman1942 Vol 1]]: Under the pen of their creator Diana and ComicBook/SteveTrevor are both inordinately pleased about getting tied up consensually and are into "loving submission". As the book was being published in the 1940s and was aimed at children the sexual connotations are never directly addressed, and given Marston's personal preferences pretty much every heroic character given any characterization is fond of "loving submission to women".

* The DarkFic, possible TrollFic ''Pattycakes'' (Another My Little Pony fanfiction) has everypony in Ponyville into age play, being willing to take a drug that'll reduce their mind to an infintile state temporarily, even Rarity of all ponies is into this sort of thing! The only ponies opposed to it are Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash, but with the latter, she has it [[MindRape forced on her]] and eventually has her mind permenantly regressed into a fully-grown foal.

* In ''Series/{{Blackadder}} II'', Bob/Kate tells Lord Flashheart that she can't run away with him in her wedding gown because she's realised she prefers wearing boy's clothes. Flash responds "Weird. I always feel more comfy in a dress!" So they swap outfits and ''then'' run away together.

* ''Creator/JohnRingo'''s ''Literature/PaladinOfShadows A Deeper Blue'' has Mike Jenkins enjoy serious BDSM games, and Anastasia is a serious pain submissive. One of their favorite games is him trying to get some information from her: [[Main/TooKinkyToTorture "I never did find out that cookie recipe"]].
