* ''WesternAnimation/SpicyCity'': This is {{inverted|Trope}} in "Love Is a Download", in which a man enlists the help of a cyber detective to delete his girlfriend's avatar, which will fry her brain and leave her mindless living body for him to [[{{Squick}} do with as he pleases]].

* As of the 2010s, several UsefulNotes/{{Pornography}} production companies have started focusing on content meant for viewing on virtual reality devices such as the UsefulNotes/OculusRift.

** Lister has another moment in "[[Recap/RedDwarfSeasonVIIBlue Blue]]", combining 'dreamworld' and 'hologram' in [[spoiler:[[HomoeroticDream a dream about Rimmer]]]].

* "world.execute(me);" by Mili is a {{Deconstruction}} of the trope, which depicts the relationship between a simulation AI and its users as unhealthy and detrimental to the former, which is being seen as a tool and nothing else.

* In ''LightNovel/CatPlanetCuties'' the Catians flat out state that this is the main purpose to their VR room so as to work out their sexual urges during their time in heat.

* In the ''Series/BabylonFive'' MadeForTVMovie "[[Recap/BabylonFiveFilm03TheRiverOfSouls River of Souls]]", Captain Lockley is very unamused when she discovers a popular hologram (especially [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer amongst women]]) in a virtual reality brothel is modeled on herself.

** In the episode "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS3E6BoobyTrap Booby Trap]]", Geordi has the holodeck summon up a virtual assistant in the form of the modern warp drive's inventor, a woman named Leah Brahms, to help him out with an especially dastardly NegativeSpaceWedgie. They're both so excited when they succeed that they kiss. Subverted years later in the episode "Galaxy's Child", which had the ''real'' Leah boards the ship, and turns out to be nothing like the hologram, is married, and is quite unnerved by Geordi's fascination with the hologram. She calms down eventually when he explains the situation.

* On ''Series/StargateUniverse'', after [[spoiler:Ginn and Amanda die]] their consciousnesses get uploaded to the ''Destiny'' computer. Within an episode, [[spoiler: Rush]] has found a way to have sex in a virtual simulation of the ship. [[spoiler:Eli]] wanted to do the same thing for the same reason, and while his girlfriend was certainly pleased with the idea, she opposed it because of the risk to him. Indeed, [[spoiler:Rush]] doing it actually makes things a lot worse.

** In "Blood Fever" and "Body and Soul", attempts are made to treat the Vulcan ''[[MateOrDie pon farr]]'' with a holographic female Vulcan (even though it was explicitly stated in TOS that a [[MindlinkMates Mind Meld]] is a necessary part of the process, though it could have just been "blowing off the steam," so to speak, that meditation couldn't cure.)
** Seven of Nine gets distracted from her duties by a holographic Chakotay in "[[Recap/StarTrekVoyagerS7E7BodyAndSoul Human Error]]". Towards the end of the series, another hologram of the Commander was used by Seven and the Doctor so she could practice dating, foreshadowing their later [[LastMinuteHookup budding romance in the final episode]].
** The "Fair Haven" program where Janeway gets interested in handsome Michael Sullivan who she then reprograms to make even more appealing.
** The male and female [[FanserviceExtra holo-eyecandy massagers]] hanging around B'Elanna and Tom in the early seasons

** Subverted in "[[Recap/StarTrekVoyagerS3E13AlterEgo Alter Ego]]", where a holo-babe fancied by both Harry Kim and Tuvok turns out to be not so virtual after all, but a lonely alien hacking into the system.
** Voyager also features the return of Barclay. In the Voyager simulation within his lab, the crew totally adores him, the female members finding him attractive of course, though it doesn’t go quite to the level of Troi’s “goddess of empathy.” The creep factor is still there for those who learn about it: Turns out his boss is a certain Admiral Paris, who is NOT amused by the fact that a hologram of his son Tom is one of Barclay’s virtual buddies.

** In "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunmen_of_the_Apocalypse Gunmen of the Apocalypse]]", it's implied that all Lister ever does with the VR games is have sex with the female [=NPCs=]. It's also stated that he has worn out the groin attachment this way.
** Lister had another moment in "Blue", combining 'dreamworld' and 'hologram' in [[spoiler:a dream about Rimmer]].

* ''Series/DoctorWho'' Donna's "husband" in the episode "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E9ForestOfTheDead Forest of the Dead]]". At the end, she wondered what coming up with someone like him meant: "Absolutely gorgeous, and [[CanNotSpitItOut can't say a word]]. I wonder what that says about me." [[spoiler:It was revealed in the end that he was a real person... and [[TearJerker couldn't get her attention because he still had his stutter.]] ]]
* ''Series/{{Andromeda}}'' episode "The Mathematics of Tears" revolves around a sentient warship that fell in love with her captain, [[spoiler:refused to obey him when he ordered her to self-destruct, blew up the planet he was on, and went insane. In that order.]]

* In the ''Series/{{CSI}}'' episode "A Space Oddity", Hodges bumps into Wendy Simms at a sci-fi convention. He has a number of ''Franchise/StarTrek''-style (yes, Sixties ''Star Trek'') fantasies involving him as a "Kirk" style figure and Wendy... er... not wearing very much. One time the fantasy led to him starting a small fire and Wendy guesses on the entire structure of his hallucination.
* ''Series/{{Sliders}}'', "Virtual Slide": On a world where VR headsets are ubiquitous, the guys become addicted and Maggie has to enter their fantasies to pull them out. She's mortified to find a simulation of herself in bed with Quinn, but it forces them to confront their longtime {{UST}}. [[spoiler:Just as they're about to kiss, Maggie wakes up and learns that ''she'' was the only one who entered VR, the episode to date was a simulation of how she perceives her friends, and ''Quinn saw everything.'' The UST resumes, more awkwardly than ever.]]
* If RidiculouslyHumanRobots count, then the, ahem, relationship between John Connor and Cameron in ''Series/TerminatorTheSarahConnorChronicles'' definitely does. It doesn't help that Cameron can adopt the personality of Allison Young, who is implied to have been in a relationship with Future John Connor.
* ''Series/TheXFiles''. When Mulder travels back in time on a luxury liner trapped in the Bermuda Triangle, he encounters [[AndYouWereThere his colleagues and enemies]] in the guise of various UsefulNotes/WorldWarII protagonists, one of whom happens to be OSS agent Scully in a [[LadyInRed red cocktail dress]]. Just before he makes his HighDiveEscape, Mulder grabs her for a passionate kiss "[[NowOrNeverKiss just in case I never see you again]]." Scully of course responds [[KissKissSlap somewhat differently]].

** The season 2 episode "Mind Over Matter" has a man who, through an advanced AI, can enter people's unconsciousness when they are in a coma. He uses this to bring several people out. When the woman he loves ([[CannotSpitItOut but who he has never told]]) enters a coma, he uses the computer to enter her unconscious. They start having a relationship in the simulation, but a weird monster appears in the simulation. At the climax, we find [[spoiler:the AI created a simulation of her and, in trying to kill the fake, he has killed the real woman, who appeared as the 'monster' because of her comatose state; she was flickering in and out and looked 'wrong' because she was a representation of a mind only partially active. The 'clean' version was the AI.]]
** The season 3 episode "Bits of Love" involved a man who'd survived a nuclear holocaust with only holographic AIs for company, including a particular character that his habitat AI used as her avatar. He can occasionally have physical contact via a body-encasing VR chamber, and uses this for sex. Then he makes the mistake of doing this with the habitat AI, and though it's just a fling to him, she falls in love with him. Oops. The ending even plays with the trope a little as [[spoiler:the AI creates a virtual copy of the man then is implied to play out their entire (possible, virtual) future lives as a couple whilst the real man is trapped in his bunker, watching this happen]] turning it into Kiss, Me I'm Virtual ''squared''.
* ''Series/{{Angel}}''. Illyria offers this opportunity to Wesley, but even though it's clear he's tempted Wes repeatedly refuses [[spoiler:until he's at the point of death, whereupon he lets Illyria 'lie' to him -- she shapeshifts into his dead LoveInterest Fred and kisses him, saying they'll be together in the afterlife.]]
* In ''Series/EarthFinalConflict,'' Augur bases his home AI's appearance on Lili Marquette (who he has a crush on), but dresses it up in MsFanservice outfits. Lili is understandably annoyed when she finds out.

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Archer}}'', Dr. Krieger very nearly managed to get married to an A.I. with a hologram. Of course, the original gag was that the State of New York found her so lifelike, that she was capable of having a marriage (as opposed to gay marriage).

* Averted in ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'' with [[spoiler:Eric the synthodrone]]. But Kim [[CompressedVice wanted]] to kiss [[RidiculouslyHumanRobots him]]...
* In ''WesternAnimation/LegionOfSuperHeroes2006'', Brainiac 5 uses a "training simulation" to create a fantasy in which he's mortally wounded saving Superman from a horde of enemies and the fake Superman cradles him in his arms as he gasps his dramatic last words. To romantic music, no less.
* This is {{inverted|Trope}} in the episode "Love Is a Download" of ''WesternAnimation/SpicyCity'', in which a man enlists the help of a cyber detective to delete his girlfriend's avatar, which will fry her brain and leave her mindless living body for him to [[{{Squick}} do with as he pleases]].
