** In ''Literature/TheSilmarillion'', when Beren and [[ActionGirl Luthien]] [[spoiler:reach Morgoth's throneroom in the bowels of Angband, Morgoth's captivation by Luthien's beauty helps buy her enough time to [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu sing him to sleep]] and steal back one of the titular [[MacGuffin Silmarils]]]]. Earlier in Luthien's story, she had been captured by Celegorm and Curufin, two sons of Feanor, who intended to force her to marry Celegorm in order to manipulate her father into an alliance. Celegorm's sentient hound, Huan, helps her escape before anything happens.

* ''Literature/TheHorseAndHisBoy'': Prince Radabash of Calormen launches an invasion on Narnia with the intention of forcing Susan Pevensie to marry him.

* At the end of ''VisualNovel/SpiritHunterNG'', Kakuya reveals herself to be [[{{Yandere}} violently in love]] with Akira after she traps him in a PocketDimension with her, and makes it clear that she wants to have 'grown-up' fun with him, whether he reciprocates or not.

* ''Fanchise/TolkiensLegendarium'':

* In ''Literature/TheSilmarillion'', when Beren and [[ActionGirl Luthien]] [[spoiler:reach Morgoth's throneroom in the bowels of Angband, Morgoth's captivation by Luthien's beauty helps buy her enough time to [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu sing him to sleep]] and steal back one of the titular [[MacGuffin Silmarils]]]]. Earlier in Luthien's story, she had been captured by Celegorm and Curufin, two sons of Feanor, who intended to force her to marry Celegorm in order to manipulate her father into an alliance. Celegorm's sentient hound, Huan, helps her escape before anything happens.

* ''LightNovel/AiNoKusabi'': BadassBiker Riki is on the receiving end of this many times from [[TheBeautifulElite Iason Mink]] who kidnapped Riki to make him into his SexSlave.

** Also seen in ''Film/TheSpyWhoLovedMe''. After Stromberg has taken Anya to Atlantis (his headquarters), he has her dressed in a revealing outfit and tied up in his study. In the novelisation he even threatens to breed her with his GiantMook Jaws.

** {{Parodied|Trope}} (of course) in ''Film/RobinHoodMenInTights''. Rottingham tries this with Marian, but she's wearing an enormous metal chastity belt. He then tries using various tools to open the belt, to no effect, before Robin shows up and rescues her.

** In ''Film/OnHerMajestysSecretService'', Blofeld makes advances on Tracey, even offering to make her his wife (she's the daughter of another crime boss, as he points out). Tracy responds coldly at first, causing Blofeld to threaten her, but appears to reconsider and starts being nice to him. This is because she's recognised her father's voice on the radio from the approaching "Red Cross" helicopters and wants to distract Blofeld, who [[NotNowKiddo gets annoyed when one of his men tries to draw his attention to them]].
** Alec Trevelyan (a.k.a. Janus), licks the cheek and later kisses his hostage Natalya in the movie ''Film/GoldenEye''. He later taunts Bond by telling him that [[StrawberryShorthand she tastes like strawberries]].
** In ''Film/TheManWithTheGoldenGun'', ProfessionalKiller Francisco Scaramango forces Mary Goodnight (Creator/BrittEkland) to change into a bikini because there are "no concealed weapons."
** Also seen in ''Film/TheSpyWhoLovedMe''. After Stromberg has taken Anya to Atlantis (his headquarters), he has her dressed in a revealing outfit and tied up in his study.
** ''Film/DrNo''. Rather than reserve Honey for himself, Dr. No orders Honey be handed over to his guards, dropping a hint that she might be gang raped. Bond later finds her tied up in a DrowningPit but [[FridgeHorror we're never told if anything else happened]].
** In ''Film/YouOnlyLiveTwice'', baddie Helga Brandt has Bond tied up in her cabin and, in fact, says "I've got you now." Bond quips "Well, enjoy yourself!"

** Alec Trevelyan (a.k.a. Janus), licks the cheek and later kisses his hostage Natalya in the movie ''Film/GoldenEye''. He later taunts Bond by telling him that she [[EvilTastesGood tastes like strawberries]].
** In ''Film/TheManWithTheGoldenGun'', bad guy Francisco Scaramango forces Mary Goodnight (Britt Ekland) to change into a bikini because there are "no concealed weapons."
** Also seen in ''Film/TheSpyWhoLovedMe''. After Stromberg has taken Anya to Atlantis (his headquarters), he has her dressed in a revealing outfit and tied up in his study to wait for him.
** In fact, this has been seen in a LOT of Bond movies, like ''Film/OnHerMajestysSecretService'' (Blofeld makes advances to Tracy after taking her prisoner), ''Film/DrNo'' (Honey is led away by the guards and Dr. No taunts Bond about what they will do to her), etc.

* ''Manga/ThePrinceOfTennis'': Keigo Atobe attempts to force An Tachibana to go into a date with him, despite her [[ArmorPiercingSlap trying to slap him away]]. Momoshiro and Kamio had to play against Atobe's companion Kabaji to bail her out.

* ''Manga/ShamanKing'': When BigBad Hao confronts [[{{Tsundere}} Anna Kyouyama]] and her group as they cross the USA to reach for Yoh and his friends, at some point Anna tries to slap him. He catches her hand and comments on how spunky and worthy of marrying the Shaman King she is. Anna's response? [[ArmorPiercingSlap * SLAP* (with her other hand)]]. [[LoveAtFirstPunch Hao is pleased, anyway]].

* * ''Manga/DawnOfTheArcana'': Caesar to Nakaba in Chapter 1. Gouda to Nakaba and Lemilia in Chapter 22, though this turns out to be subverted as the guys arrive to rescue them only to find that Nakaka got Gouda drunk and already saved Lemilia and herself.

* ''WesternAnimation/ThePiratesOfDarkWater'': Ioz is captured by a captain of a ghost pirate-crew, who chains him up so that he would stay on the ship long enough to become a ghost himself. To spend the time she muses if not to [[IsThatWhatTheyreCallingItNow make Ioz her new First Mate]]

* In ''Film/{{Deranged}}'', the VillainProtagonist Ezra develops an obsession with an attractive young barmaid, Mary Ransum, and later kidnaps her in an attempt to force her to "marry" him. Mary attempts to flee, but is quickly incapacitated and {{bound|AndGagged}} in Ezra's closet. When she awakens, Ezra tries to force her to [[MummiesAtTheDinnerTable have dinner with him and his corpses]] and then [[AttemptedRape attempts to molest her]], but Mary once again attempts to fight back by flinging his mother's corpse at him, hitting his BerserkButton and resulting in him beating her to death.

* In ''Film/{{Elysium}}'': Kruger expresses this toward Frey and her daughter. This behavior presses Max's BerserkButton, which ends up in him [[spoiler:tossing the grenade to crash the shuttle upon its arrival on Elysium, blowing Kruger's face off in the process]].

* In ''Film/{{P2}}'', the heroine stumbles upon a video of her stalker/kidnapper molesting her when she was knocked out. This sets off one of her {{Berserk Button}}s.

* ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}'': This was present in [[DarkActionGirl Valkia the Bloody's]] backstory. When she was human, a [[TheHedonist Slaaneshi]] [[MonsterLord Daemon Prince]] was so enthralled by her [[UnkemptBeauty barbarian beauty]] that he commanded that she serviced his hedonistic needs as a harem girl. [[BerserkButton Bad mistake]] as Valkia flew into a murderous rage and challenged him to a one-on-one duel which she won. However, when she tried to offer the Daemon Prince's head as an offering to her patron god [[WarGod Khorne]], she died on the journey but he was so impressed by her power that he [[DemonOfHumanOrigin elevated Valkia to daemonhood]].

* ''Film/HouseofWax2005'': Bo manages to capture Carly, but he doesn't try to murder her like his brother Vincent would have. It's hinted when he playfully flirts with her in front of her boyfriend and she seems flattered, but less flattered later. Given he calls her pretty and acts like he's about to kiss her on the mouth, it's hinted he planned to do something more sexual to her before her brother arrives.

* ''[[VideoGame/FirstEncounterAssaultRecon F.E.A.R.]]2: Project Origin'' has a gender inverted example: At the end of the game, Michael Becket finds himself captured by Alma Wade, who proceeds to approach him in her adult form. Being that she's the ghost of an immensely powerful psychic, she has little trouble... [[RapeAsDrama helping herself]]. It's as horrifying and nauseating as it sounds.

* The final battle of ''[[VideoGame/FirstEncounterAssaultRecon Project Origin]]'' involves [[spoiler: Alma]] doing this to [[spoiler: Beckett while he is strapped down to the chair in the telesthetic amplifier]]. The scene in question is less about showing that [[spoiler: Alma]] is monstrous but rather played up for horror and tragedy, as [[spoiler: being an emotionally and mentally stunted child whose whole life was pretty much one long nightmare, Alma doesn't ''know'' of any other way to express her attraction to Beckett]].

* ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfZelda'': This is a recurring theme of the cartoon version, in which Ganon openly states that he intends to make Zelda his queen once he conquers Hyrule, no doubt to legitimize his rule. Several episodes mention or focus on his obsession with her; one, "A Hitch in the Works," has him kidnap her and (almost successfully) hypnotize her into marrying him.

Want a quick and easy way to show what a vile, evil scumbag your villain is? Well, you could have them [[KickTheDog abuse a cute little animal]] — or have them sexually molest the helpless DamselInDistress or [[BadassInDistress momentarily disabled]] ActionGirl or DistressedDude when they are at their mercy. This can include TermsOfEndangerment, [[ForcefulKiss unwanted kisses]], [[LecherousLicking licking]], [[PervertedSniffing sniffing]], groping, TraumaticHaircut, [[GoGoEnslavement dressing them in skimpy clothing]], or even [[RapeAsDrama out-and-out trying to rape them]] — [[AttemptedRape though this last one is usually stopped before it gets too far]], as the hero generally [[BigDamnHeroes shows up in time to rescue them]] or they finally get the chance to regain advantage. In shows with a historical/fantasy setting, it can also include attempts to [[AndNowYouMustMarryMe force the heroine/hero into marriage]].

** Also, consider how during Glo Xinia's fight with Chrome he grabbed her hard enough to cause her pain, kept getting in her face, and told her things like: "You seem to like being touched by men. Your blushing cannot betray your desires." "Give me MORE!" (after hearing her screams of pain) and "It's time to eat... that ring and you!" It's hinted he might've done something to her had Mukuro not shown up, allowing her time to escape. Also, when fighting Mukuro he comes out with this line: "Is that girl so precious to you? Then I'm going to take my share of such a precious girl right before your eyes! This could just be the best situation, don't you think? My appetite for that girl just keeps getting better!" and "Don't worry Chrome, I will take good care of you for MUKURO TO SEE!"

* ''Anime/SwordArtOnline'': The lecherous man styling him the Fairy King Oberon attempts this on Asuna as Kirito watches, unable to stop him. Particularly horrifying on a visual level is Oberon licking Asuna. Fortunately, he soon [[BigDamnHeroes gets what he deserves]].

* ''ComicBook/RedRobin'': After the Daughters of Acheron Have Tim captured and chained up the eldest of them starts undressing him to rape him but his sister [[ComicBook/Batgirl2000 Cass]] shows up and puts an end to her attempt very quickly.

* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11259043/1/Black-Rose-Admirer Black Rose Admirer]]'', Ruby chases after a [[StalkerWithACrush crazed stalker]] to try and stop him. After a brief fight, Kaito is able to get a hold of her and forcibly kisses her, going so far as sticking his tongue into her mouth. Luckily for Ruby, [[BigBrotherInstinct Yang arrives and she is not the least bit happy]].
* ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'' has Yelena Belova, the Red Room's newest (and psychotic) Black Widow invoke this in the sequel on a brainwashed [[spoiler: Harry (and more specifically, his body's brainwashed, while his mind is elsewhere)]], primarily for the purpose of provoking Natasha, the original Black Widow, before their second fight. She does this because she knows that Natasha is semi-maternally fond of him, and she therefore sees him as something of Natasha's that she can take. So, she molests him right in front of Natasha, to the [[EvenEvilHasStandards disturbance of her sane teammates]] and promises to do more when he's "done cooking" [[YoungerThanTheyLook (it should be noted that, while he looks older,]] [[{{Squick}} he's about 14 and a half at this point).]] Natasha's internal monologue notes this [[TranquilFury calmly]], and then proceeds to a) reveal that it's a trap, b) comprehensively kick the crap out of her. Again. And that is positively ''kind'' compared to what Dream does to her; while the details aren't given, even ''Loki'' couldn't think of anything to add.

** Pretty much anytime Gaston is around Belle he makes aggressive advances on her and tries to blackmail her into marrying him. The entire "coerced marriage" theme is pretty much a literary fig leaf for lust and rape.

* Frollo in ''WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDameDisney'' even sniffs Esmeralda's hair while he has her captive. And then he has an epic VillainSong. Different from most in that he's [[SexIsEvilAndIAmHorny ashamed of his lust for Esmeralda]] and wants her dead so she'll stop tempting him, and his rampant lust is explicit, unlike other Disney films.

* Ivan Korshunov kisses and strokes the cheek of the First Daughter in ''Film/AirForceOne'', causing her mother to recoil in disgust. Does not help that Korshunov is played by Creator/GaryOldman, and that the First Daughter is established as being 12 years old.

* ''Film/MortalKombatTheMovie'': Shang Tsung is infatuated with Sonya Blade, referring to her as "my sweet Sonya." Midway through the film, he forcibly takes her to his castle in Outworld, has her [[GoGoEnslavement chained up and attired in a short leather dress]], and tells her that no one will come for her. Shang Tsung is proven right, sort of; [[BigDamnHeroes Johnny Cage, Liu Kang, and Kitana, all in disguise]], were already inside the castle and revealed themselves in order to rescue Sonya.
* ''Film/TheMummyTrilogy'': Imhotep, in his disoriented mummified form, mistakes Eve as a reincarnation of his long-dead lover Anksunammun, and even tries to kiss her. He later plans to use her body as a vessel for Anksunammum's spirit to possess. By the time of the second movie, he has gotten over Eve, since the real reincarnation of his lover has been found and joined the bad guys while Eve is revealed to be the reincarnation of the princess that snitched their love affair to the guards, and they both decide to kill her instead.

* In ''Film/PlunkettAndMacleane'', General Chance acts this way towards Rebecca who, of course, hates his guts.

* [[Creator/CillianMurphy Jackson Rippner]] in ''Film/RedEye'' to some extent. "Thanks for the quickie." It's definitely the feeling the writers were aiming for and gains Rippner a whole new level of FridgeHorror once you realize that Lisa has been sexually assaulted in the past, and he is ''intentionally triggering her''.

* In ''Film/{{Shooter}}'', Sara is kidnapped for Jack Payne in order to force the Hero Swagger out of his hiding. Probably taken to the next level cause the movie seems to imply that she was raped.

[[folder:Films — Animation]]

* ''WesternAnimation/ElCidTheLegend'': Rodrigo's {{Love Interest|s}} Jimena is taken captive by Ben Yusuf and pressed into his RoyalHarem - A major case of ArtisticLicenseHistory since there were no records of this ever happening in real life.

* Frollo in ''WesternAnimation/{{The Hunchback of Notre Dame|Disney}}'', and even sniffs Esmeralda's hair while he has her captive. And then he has an epic VillainSong. Different from most in that he's [[SexIsEvilAndIAmHorny ashamed of his lust for Esmeralda]] and wants her dead so she'll stop tempting him, and his rampant lust is explicit, unlike other Disney films.

-->'''Shen:''' ''(leans in close to her face)'' You are going to be part of something beautiful.\\
'''Tigress:''' ''(bares her teeth and growls at him)''

* Happens in a deleted scene in ''WesternAnimation/{{The Lion King|1994}}''. Scar attempts to propose to Nala and make her his Queen, but she refuses and is banished.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Thumbelina|1994}}'': The title character keeps getting roped into marriages with whomever she runs into, against her will.

[[folder:Films — Live-Action]]

** Though not a kidnapping [[spoiler:until much later in the film]], ComicBook/TheJoker's advances on Rachel in ''Film/TheDarkKnight'' could qualify as a light form of this. It was creepy too. What with the Joker sauntering up to Rachel and circling around her once like a vulture. He even sneaks behind her and leans into her neck a bit like he was smelling her and repeatedly refers to her as beautiful.

** Subverted in ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises'': There's a tiny implication that ComicBook/{{Bane}} intends to do this to Miranda Tate when he spares her from "death by exile," [[spoiler:but in reality, she's ComicBook/TaliaAlGhul, who he's sworn to protect]].
* [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] in ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice'', as Comicbook/LexLuthor seems at first to be doing this when he kidnaps Comicbook/LoisLane, calling her "pretty" and creepily [[PervertedSniffing sniffing her hair]] (although it's left ambiguous whether this is genuine attraction, or just [[{{Troll}} him screwing with her]]) but he quickly just shoves her off [[MegaCorp LexCorp]] Tower, as ultimately his only real interest in her is as bait for Franchise/{{Superman}}.

* ''Film/ButchCassidyAndTheSundanceKid''. Having already established the Kid (Redford) as a likable protagonist, the movie throws the audience a curveball by serving up what initially appears to be a rape scene. It turns out that Kid and his girlfriend are just roleplaying.

* ''Film/{{Daredevil}}'': Even though his job was to [[spoiler:kill her, which he did,]] ComicBook/{{Bullseye|MarvelComics}} seemed to enjoy his time with ComicBook/{{Elektra}} more than he should. Wolf whistling, hitting her while hitting on her and tries to kiss her [[spoiler: before gutting her]], but succeeds in the Director's Cut. He even speaks to her in a loving manner while holding her face so close to his.

* In ''Film/{{Elysium}}'' Kruger expresses this toward Frey and her daughter. This behavior presses Max's BerserkButton, which ends up in him [[spoiler:tossing the grenade to crash the shuttle upon its arrival on Elysium, blowing Kruger's face off in the process]].

* ''Film/FinalGirl'': Subverted. After the four guys tie up Veronica, they state that they're not going to sexually assault her. Their reason isn't much better though, because it "ruins the fun" of chasing her through the woods if she's physically impaired.
* ''Film/FrightNight1985''. After the vampire Jerry Dandrige captures Amy he takes her to his mansion and seduces her, eventually biting her on the neck to change her into a vampire.
* In ''Film/GirlWithAPearlEarring'' (as well as the book version) Van Ruijven's AttemptedRape of Griet.
* ''Film/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows Part 1'': Scabior, the head Snatcher, tries this after he captures Hermione, calls her "My lovely" and sniffs her hair. The actor Nick Moran told ''Entertainment Weekly'' that they cut out a line where he said "You're going to be my favorite."
* ''Film/TheHauntedMansion'': Gracey to Sara.

* ''Film/InTime'' after Fortis and his gang have trapped Will and Sylvia, he sits rather close to her on the couch, and strokes her cheek with his gun, then after challenging Will to a duel, he says he'll ''take her'', and then take her time.

** In ''Film/YouOnlyLiveTwice'' baddie Helga Brandt has Bond tied up in her cabin and, in fact, says "I've got you now." Bond quips "Well, enjoy yourself!"
* Exaggerated in ''Film/JusticeLeague2017'' when Apokoliptian warlord Steppenwolf threatens to turn the Amazons into his own personal harem and tells Queen Hippolyta that "she will love him" when his conquest of Earth is complete.

* ''Film/PeterPan'' (2003 version): There were vibes of this sort from Captain Hook towards Wendy. What's worse is that not only does Creator/JasonIsaacs play Captain Hook, he also plays Mr. Darling. (This is a carry-over from [[Theatre/PeterPan1904 the original stage play]], where [[ActingForTwo Captain Hook and Mr. Darling were almost always played by the same actor.]])

** Parodied (of course) in ''Film/RobinHoodMenInTights''. Rottingham tries this with Marian, but she's wearing an enormous metal chastity belt. He then tries using various tools to open the belt, to no effect, before Robin shows up and rescues her.

* In ''Film/{{Shooter}}'' Sara is kidnapped for Jack Payne in order to force the Hero Swagger out of his hiding. Probably taken to the next level cause the movie seems to imply that she was raped.

* Parodied in ''Film/{{Spaceballs}}''. Shortly after Dark Helmet has captured the Princess, see the top of his helmet, and hear him saying "So Princess! I finally have you in my clutches! To have my way with you, the way I want to!" As the camera moves down, however, we see that he is playing with action figures of all the primary characters of the film.

* Played with in ''Film/StreetFighter'': while Bison has Chun Li as his prisoner, he does not outright molest her, but tries to seduce her the old-fashioned way: a pretty dress, a nice and comfy lounge (if you forget the bone chandeliers), and ambient music. This could be almost touching if Chun Li didn't take this opportunity to properly beat the crap out of him. What's really hilarious is [[MythologyGag he forces her to wear a replica of the costume she wears in the game]].

* GenderInvertedTrope in the French movie ''Film/{{Taxi}} 3'', when the IdiotHero[=/=]ButtMonkey cop is captured by the BigBad woman, played by Bai Ling. She assaults him by [[spoiler:giving something to him with her mouth while he's married and want to be faithful]].

* This trope is the mainstay of all early [[GothicHorror gothic novels]], i.e. the damsel in the villain's spooky castle. Earliest examples were ''Literature/TheMysteriesOfUdolpho'' and ''Literature/TheCastleOfOtranto''. Gothic novels were all basically the same until Creator/MaryShelley wrote ''Literature/{{Frankenstein}}'', increasing their intellectual depth about a hundred fold.
* ''Literature/{{Dune}}''. Baron Vladimir Harkonnen and Piter De Vries make no secret of how they'd like to indulge themselves with Lady Jessica, the concubine of Duke Leto, but are too wary of her "Bene Gesserit witchery" to do so even though she's BoundAndGagged. Also it's [[PlausibleDeniability convenient for all concerned]] that her fate be unknown, so they order Jessica and her son Paul to be left out in the desert to die.

* In ''Literature/ABrothersPrice'' this is what men fear if they are captured. Due to GenderRarityValue, sons and brothers are guarded well, but occasionally a man ''is'' kidnapped. [[spoiler: Jerin gets into such a situation. His female companion is ForcedToWatch.]] One of the male examples where this is not played for comedy at all.
* In A. C. Crispin's ''Han Solo'' trilogy, Jabba makes note of another female's "excellent, well-muscled shoulders" and that she'd make an excellent dancing girl. So that might be another clue. In the [[Franchise/StarWarsExpandedUniverse Expanded Universe,]] there seems to be an implication that Jabba is considered some sort of deviant for his proclivities toward humanoid dancing girls. What that says about the fact that most other Hutts in the EU are shown [[MarsNeedsWomen the same way]] is [[RunningGag really]] [[MostWritersAreMale up to]] you.
* ''[[Literature/KushielsLegacy Kushiel's Avatar]]'': Taken to its most [[UpToEleven brutal extreme]] in Jacqueline Carey's novel. The Markagir of Darsanga, a deranged psychopath, systematically rapes and murders a harem of slaves. The heroine, a natural masochist who also happens to be the most successful prostitute and spy in her kingdom, is chosen to infiltrate the harem expressly because she is the only person who can endure this mistreatment long enough to rescue a captive child prince. Ultimately, she kills the Markagir by stabbing him in the heart with a hatpin while he is trying to strangle her to death.
* Played ''almost'' straight in Creator/LoisMcMasterBujold's ''Literature/ShardsOfHonor''. While in the process of being taken prisoner, the heroine Cordelia winds up in the clutches of the ''severely'' unbalanced admiral Vorrutyer, who has restraints built into his bed, an abiding interest in the Creator/MarquisDeSade, and a tendency to monologue -- and who, yes, admires her spirit -- but who doesn't take more than a bored, clinical interest in her until he realizes she's his ex-boyfriend's fiancée.

* Jarlaxle, a charming but self-absorbed and mercenary dark elf from Salvatore's [[Literature/TheLegendOfDrizzt Drizzt Do'Urden novels]], has Catti-brie Battlehammer captive. He caresses her hair, but goes no further, being the kind of person who much prefers to seduce rather than force. Then he arranges things for her to escape and save Drizzt, who's been captured by his employer. [[MagnificentBastard He's funny like that.]]
* In the last book in ''Literature/TheChroniclesOfPrydain'', ''The High King.'' The outlaw Dorath threatens to rape Princess Eilonwy and have her raped by his fellows "until she is a match for a swineherd." A variation in that Dorath never states precisely what it is he intends to do to her; only says he intends to "remove her charms." The dialogue is written just vaguely enough that the book's younger readers only know that Eilonwy is in danger, without knowing the specifics that might traumatize them. Older readers can ferret out Dorath's meaning for themselves, as Eilonwy did.

* The ''Series/DoctorWho'' ExpandedUniverse novels of Creator/TerranceDicks began to display a slightly alarming tendency in almost every novel to place the Doctor's companions in a position where they were threatened with rape by one of the bad guys, to the point where it really became more than a little disturbing. Not just for the obvious reasons or because it was ''every single time'', but because his writing style hadn't really changed from his popular ''Series/DoctorWho'' adaptations for children, meaning that it was almost like [[MoodDissonance reading a children's book where the heroine was pretty openly threatened with rape at every opportunity]].
* Sansloy from ''Literature/TheFaerieQueene'' establishes his merits as a vile villain after pretending to be corteuous night by trying to rape Princess Una. Even a lion can tell what he's doing is evil and tries to get involved.
* In Daniel Gonzalez's ''Ravencraft'' book series, happens several times to Laura Talbot when she is prisoner of the evil werewolf and main villain Gévaudan. She and Lucilla are also threatened with rape when prisoners of the evil nazi werewolves' pack of the White Wolves.

** In ''Literature/WyrdSisters'', Magrat is accosted and held by a palace guard, who tells her "I like a girl with spirit." The author lampshades this mercilessly and goes on to say that the guard was incorrect, as it turned out.
** In ''Literature/CarpeJugulum'', Agnes asks a vampyre guard if they can skip all the "I like a girl with spirit" stuff and just go to the bit where she knees him in the groin. The answer is no.
** Averted in ''Literature/TheLastHero'', where a character says that, whatever Cohen the Barbarian's faults may be, he cannot be accused of rape. ''Ravishing'', certainly, but not rape. Another character asks what the difference is, and the first replies "I don't believe there were ever any actual ''complaints''."
** Subverted in ''Literature/{{Sourcery}}'' where Conina is taken to the Seriph's RoyalHarem and her companion Rincewind fears what will happen to her. Except Conina goes along of her own choice just to see what is it like inside and the Seriph has no real perverted designs on her - he just wants to hear the girls to tell him stories.
* In ''Literature/{{Outlander}}'', this is Black Jack Randall's freaking m.o., when he's not being a remorseless sadistic bastard elsewhere. He treats the heroine like this at every opportunity -- and this is also how he treats her husband. His other prisoners [[PrisonRape don't get this courtesy.]]

* ''Literature/UseOfWeapons''. In one chapter, Zakalwe is stranded during a flood with a female soldier he's captured, who breaks down in InelegantBlubbering when she thinks this will happen to her. Zakalwe (who would much rather she shut up so he can mull over what went wrong with his plans) just gives her a hankerchief to blow her nose, leaves her tied to a chair and tries to get some sleep. One of his officers then turns up to rescue him and jokes that you're supposed to tie the girl to the bed instead.
* Used in the story-within-a-story of ''What Writers Go Through'' (also known as ''The Author's Ordeal'') by Creator/IsaacAsimov. The second-person individual writing said story-within-a-story makes certain to rush through it, so the reader [[FridgeLogic won't have time to remember]] that the aliens threatening this are reptilians and would presumably have no interest in sex with a human.
* The ''Literature/{{Rigante}}'' series by Creator/DavidGemmell features a rather nasty version of this in which the hero's rather feisty love interest is imprisoned and repeatedly raped. By the time the hero finally manages to rescue her, she's suicidally depressed, is furious at the hero for not rescuing her earlier and at herself for needing to be rescued at all, and swears herself to a life of grim celibacy to overcome her shame. She seems to improve -- a bit -- as the series continues, with indications that although she'll never fully recover, she might at least be able put it behind her and get on with her life.
* ''[[{{Literature/Flashman}} Flashman's Lady]]'' has a rare gender-reversed example not played comically at all: but then, the woman involved, Queen Ranavalona I of Madagascar, is a completely genocidal tyrant.
* In one of the sequels of ''Literature/ThePrincessDiaries'', Mia writes a paper on the history of Genovia, explaining that the creation of the principality came about through the actions of her direct ancestor. This first Princess of Genovia had been the daughter of the local lord; said lord was murdered during an invasion and his daughter forcibly wed to the leader of the invading forces, whom she in turn murdered in his sleep on their wedding night. Mia notes that her ancestress may have been spurred to act by "having been forced to drink wine out of her father's skull during the wedding feast." Subverted in that in truth she copied this from a 1961 movie starring Jack Palance.
* [[SmugSnake Prince Xizor]], in ''Literature/ShadowsOfTheEmpire'', tries to seduce Leia while keeping her in his palace. He'd been tempting her with talk about supporting the Rebellion, but he was never even considering that and tried to keep her from leaving. [[GroinAttack She gets back at him.]]
* In the ''Literature/HarryPotter'' books, Fenrir Greyback is just an altogether creepy character with horrific subtext, but in ''[[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows Deathly Hallows]]'' he begs Bellatrix to let him have Hermione after making some creepy comments to her. Later on, he has to be pulled off of Lavender Brown.
* Used in the climax of the ''Literature/SherlockHolmes'' story ''The Solitary Cyclist''.
* Played straight in ''[[Literature/DarkestPowers The Reckoning]]'', when Liam corners Chloe in the woods. To distract him from Derek, who is in the middle of Changing from werewolf to human -- and thus vulnerable -- not far away from them, Chloe tells him that Derek is off dealing with Ramon, who has actually already been defeated. Liam proceeds to be a grade-A creeper and tell her that they should have some fun while Derek and Ramon are busy tearing each other to shreds. Lucky for her, Derek ruins this by finishing his Change and [[DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength accidentally killing Liam]] after a long and difficult tussle.

** King Aegon IV "The Unworthy" Targaryen from the historical background was a big fan of this trope. He was an infamous womanizer and it's said that so long as they were female, he would nail AnythingThatMoves whether they were noblewomen or commonborn. It's said that his personal motto was "[[BatheHerAndBringHerToMe Wash Her and Bring Her to My Bed]]" and this was not hyperbole; the decent women of King's Landing were not safe and he had his [[DirtyCop Goldcloaks]] search for women pretty enough for him.
* In ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'', Lord Raith tries this on Murphy, but [[ActionGirl Murphy]] being [[CuteBruiser Murphy]] it doesn't quite go as he planned.

** In Creator/RobertEHoward's novel ''Literature/TheHourOfTheDragon'', why Countess Albiona is awaiting execution -- she refused.
** In "Literature/AWitchShallBeBorn", Constantius, before imprisoning Taramis on the orders of her EvilTwin Salome, requests that he takes "a little—ah—amusement first." Cue the ScreamDiscretionShot.
** In ''Literature/BlackColossus'', the Veiled One appears before Princess Yasmela in her dreams and declares that she will become his queen and he will teach her the ancient forgotten ways of pleasure.

* In ''Mariel of Literature/{{Redwall}}'' there are brief hints of this when Mariel is captured, with the searats making snarky comments about "A warrior maid, eh?" However, the real example is Gabool's behaviour towards, of all things, [[CargoShip the stolen church bell]]. He walks around it, licking and nibbling it, and tells it to "Speak to me, pretty, we must get to know each other."
* An unusual example, as both characters are male and the intent is clearly psychological torture rather than pleasure on the part of the villain: In the ''Literature/{{Deryni}}'' books, [[spoiler: Wencit of Torenth ]] forcefully kisses [[spoiler:Derry]] while he's got him chained up in a dungeon, in order to drive home his complete powerlessness. The scene is written like a rape, and things get worse from there. Not sexually, but there are a lot of ways to [[BreakTheCutie break someone's spirit...]]
* In Creator/MaryGentle's ''Literature/{{Grunts}}'', Ashnak does this with Magda; at least in appearance. He's pretending he's interrogating her and uses the phrase "Now, my prisoner" at one point; but he's really concealing their consensual sexual [[InterSpeciesRomance relationship]] from the rest of his orcs (during the Siege at Nin-Edin, anyway).

* In ''Literature/ThePyrates'' by Creator/GeorgeMacDonaldFraser, Vanity goes through this trope at ''least'' three times. She's saved by one captor going loopy, a couple BigDamnHero moments -- and having played mixed lacrosse at boarding school. It's that kind of book.
* Literature/{{Dracula}}'s attack on Mina in her bedroom reads very much like a rape scene, particularly when he reveals that this isn't the first time she has... sated his thirst.
* In ''Literature/TheKingdomAndTheCrown'' a camp of travelers is raided by a bandit who intends to have his way with one of the party's young daughter. [[BigDamnHeroes Someone interrupts before he can]].
* Malkar does this at least twice in ''The Doctrine of Labyrinths''. On the first occasion, in ''Melusine'', this leads to dubiously-consensual sex. In ''The Virtu'', he taunts Felix, "If you're very good to me, my darling, I may not make you watch me murder your brother." Felix kisses him, but [[spoiler: he's using their physical connection to forge a psychic bond capable of killing the villain]].
* Count Kalliovski in ''Literature/TheRedNecklace'' to the much-younger girl Sido. ''"I will be the first man to kiss you... [[MaritalRapeLicense To bed you]]... [[RapeIsASpecialKindofEvil Whether you come willingly or not.]] [[SexSlave You will be mine, and mine alone.]]"''
* Creator/EdgarRiceBurroughs' ''Literature/JohnCarterOfMars'' had this risk happening to most princesses and [[DamselInDistress noblewomen]] of Barsoom. In fact, most books' plots are kicked off by this trope, with it happening most often to [[WorldsMostBeautifulWoman Dejah Thoris]], Carter's love interest.

** Sab Than, in the same book, [[AndNowYouMustMarryMe tries to force her into marrying him in order to stop the war between their city-states.]]

** ''Swords of Mars'' had [[TheBluebeard Ul Vas]], the evil ruler of Ombra who was prone to changing wives very frequently. He captures John Carter and his companions and takes shine for the only female among them declaring that she will be his bride... And being the death knell to his current wife.
* In ''Literature/TheMadKing'' by Creator/EdgarRiceBurroughs, the heroine gets this treatment from TheDragon when she and the hero are captured by the villain.
* ''Literature/ASeriesOfUnfortunateEvents'': In ''The Bad Beginning'' 14-year-old Violet is being forced to marry the much older Olaf who is her guardian (it's a play so no one will object to her being so young) because he has her sister Sunny and will kill her if she doesn't, all so he can have her fortune. However, this becomes {{Squick}}y when you consider all the lines he throws around about how pretty she is and how "You may not be my wife, but you are still my daughter". He also decides that he'll let her live even after he has the fortune. In the next book he has a knife to her THIGH under the table and rubs it against her leg. This implies that he intends to rape her.
** And don't forget the line, "Violet imagined sleeping beside Count Olaf, and waking up each morning to look at this terrible man." Handler must have known what that would imply to his older readers. Then there's this line "Now if you'll excuse us, me and my bride will be off to have our wedding night..." This indicates that rather than just the money he's possibly interested in Violet [[ParentalIncest in that way]] as well. This coming from a psychopathic criminal who looks like an old man, and who was most likely behind the fire that burned down her house and killed her parents, just makes the implications even creepier.
** In order for a marriage to be fully legal (therefore entitling Olaf to the fortune) it HAS to be consummated...

*** For that matter, quite a lot of Olaf's incredibly creepy group of sidekicks (most of whom are male) describe Violet as being very pretty. One such time is in ''The Hostile Hospital'', where [[spoiler:they comment on how pretty Violet is while she is unconscious, StrappedToAnOperatingTable, and about to have her head sawed off (which they remember, given that they comment also about how smart she is and how it will do her little good in a short while)]]. Erm...
** Speaking of ''The Hostile Hospital,'' at the end of the book, Olaf and his troupe are talking about how they only need one of the orphans alive to claim the fortune and wonder which one it will end up being. Olaf says that he hopes it's Violet, because ''she's the prettiest.''
*** Not only that, but in that very same book Violet mentions that Olaf was the one to prep her for surgery (ie. changing her into the hospital gown). Given that, all the stuff above, the fact that Violet seems much more prone to having breakdowns after the eighth book (PTSD, much?), and how much more smug Olaf acts around the children, Olaf may have done more than just changed her clothes while he had her in his clutches.

* ''Literature/{{City of Bones|1995}}'' by Creator/MarthaWells: [[GenderInvertedTrope Gender-flipped]] -- [[spoiler:The Heir]] does take a moment to question Khat about his relic search when she captures him, but she ''really'' wants to sleep with him. He goes along with it and doesn't seem to be particularly troubled by the experience, [[spoiler:at least until she tries to have him executed]].
* ''[[Literature/{{1632}} 1634: The Bavarian Crisis]]'': Duke Bernard of Saxe-Weimar, now self-proclaimed ruler of the County of Burgundy, plans to kidnap Archduchess Maria Anna of Austria and marry her in order to provide his new realm with some legitimacy. [[spoiler:The plan never goes anywhere, and he even provides her with an escort later [[PragmaticVillainy to get some good PR]], not to mention laying the groundwork for getting the United States of Europe to recognize his realm]].

* ''VideoGame/HauntingGround'': Riccardo intends on taking Fiona for himself and impregnating her so that he can be 'reborn'. He practically namedrops this trope to her later in the game when he has her captive in the water tower. "You are mine. I OWN YOU." Lorenzo also acts this way when Fiona encounters him for the first time. What makes these examples especially creepy is the revelation that [[spoiler: Riccardo and Ugo, Fiona's father, are clones created by and from Lorenzo. This effectively makes Riccardo Fiona's [[IncestIsRelative uncle]] and Lorenzo her ''[[{{Squick}} grandfather]]'']].

* ''Film/PeterPan'' (2003 version): There were vibes of this sort from Captain Hook towards Wendy. What's worse is that not only does Creator/JasonIsaacs play Captain Hook, he also plays [[IncestIsRelative Mr. Darling]]. (This is a carry-over from [[Theatre/PeterPan1904 the original stage play]], where [[ActingForTwo Captain Hook and Mr. Darling were almost always played by the same actor.]])

* ''Literature/TheElricSaga'': As if he wasn't depraved enough by embracing his Melnibonean heritage, Prince Yrkoon does this to Cymoril, his [[{{Squick}} own]] ''[[VillainousIncest sister]]'' as he plans on making her his queen after killing her lover Elric (who happens to [[KissingCousins be their cousin too]]).
