* Go to TheOtherWiki and read up on the [[KavorkaMan Kavorka Man's]] UrExample - Henry Kissinger. Remember, this is the guy who is quoted with the saying [[BadassBoast 'Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac.']]

* JamesBond's talent with pornomancy is legendary; nearly every movie he is featured in has him seducing women under the most peculiar circumstances and using the most improbable techniques.

** Much of ''Casino Royale'' was built around a fairly massive subversion/aversion of this: Vesper Fairchilde is set up as a typical Bond conquest-to-be, but instead of that he falls for her, hard, and she completely plays him. Given how ''Casino Royale'' is Bond's origin story, it's more accurate to say his callous womanizing [[StartOfDarkness stems from]] their destructive relationship. Few people realize his signature [[DrinkOrder vodka martini]] is actually symbolic: Bond names it after Vesper and then [[TragicKeepsake continues drinking it]] long after [[DeadLittleSister she's dead]].

* Basically the entire concept of ''[[{{Ptitleh51mbwt1}} DNA 2]]'' with the ''Mega-Playboy'' having a Marvel-style mutant power (i.e. it naturally activates at puberty) to become such a perfect man that he can literally seduce ''any female'' (except his VictoriousChildhoodFriend who's immune to his charms since she's known him for so long) into falling head-over-heels in love with him with just by looking at them. That, and he also gains instant Saiyan-level combat prowess.
* As mentioned, this is extremely common in {{Hentai}}; to the point that it's actually a slight subversion in ''Jiburiru'' when the titular character needs to convince her boyfriend to have sex so she can ''[[DeusSexMachina charge up]]'' her [[MagicFromTechnology magic robot powers]] to fight evil, as opposed to more typical hentai titles like ''LaBlueGirl'', where rape, consensual sex, and pornomancy all get mashed together in one big naughty stew.

* ''RevolutionaryGirlUtena'': Akio exhibits this trope.
** Touga as well, although he's not quite as skilled as Akio (and to be fair, Akio's pornomancy seems legitimately magical, whereas Touga is just suave.) [[spoiler: eventually Touga decides to submit to Akio's power and become his herald / implied buttboy. Touga's best friend calls him out on it, and Touga admits that being around that much power feels just plain good.]]
* ''MyBalls'' has the demon sealed within Kohta's bollocks actually doing this to him.
** Most of it is justified in that the demons of hell are trying to make him ejaculate, so that the demon sealed in his balls will be freed. However, there's also a normal instance of this trope in Minayo, who has the worst timing EVER in revealing that not only is she interested in the boy, but that she also becomes a raging nymphomaniac when drunk.
*** The question of {{nocturnal emission}}s has always been [[FridgeLogic bothersome]]...but that's neither here nor there.
**** A guy who doesn't ejaculate any other way will have nocturnal emissions on average about once every ten days- with a LARGE standard deviation. It's possible to have one two nights in a row (or even two in the same night), and then none for over a month.
**** He tied off the testicle in which the demon was sealed about a week in so he could [[ADateWithRosiePalms shake hands with the Bishop]] without unleashing a demon upon the earth. He ''still'' had a [[AWizardDidIt demonic]] sex dream shortly afterward (and was [[SpannerInTheWorks coincidentally]] [[ThePornomancer woken up]]), but see again "large standard deviation" above.
* ''IrresponsibleCaptainTylor'' has Tylor himself. After saving the ship as he always does by just being his [[BornLucky blissfully ignorant and incompetent self]], the other crew members give him a porno tape and wanted him to enjoy it for himself, but threatened him if they didn't get it back. Blissfully unaware that there is an alien princess hiding behind his bed (who honestly doesn't know anything about human relationships), Tylor puts in the tape, but keeps fumbling to turn it off as ''EVERY FEMALE ON THE SHIP'' comes to his door to express their sexual desires for him. HilarityEnsues.
** On top of that, Tylor ended up joining the military to begin with because his ignorance ended up caused a [[KissMeImVirtual female COMPUTER to confess her love for him]] in the first episode!

* [[SchoolDays Makoto Itou]] is this GoneHorriblyWrong.

* Subverted by Olga Kurylenko's character in the recent ''{{Hitman}}'' film. Apparently a high-class call-girl, her attempts to seduce 47 (for free!) fail miserably.
** Ms. Kurylenko's luck in video game movies perhaps just isn't that good. She plays another supposedly adept prostitute or mob moll and takes a crack at ''MaxPayne'' to even worse results... she gets tossed out into the cold [[spoiler: and murdered in an alley]].
*** Ms. Kurylenko's luck continues in the next example...
* JamesBond's talent with pornomancy is legendary; nearly every movie he is featured in has him seducing women under the most peculiar circumstances and using the most improbable techniques. This trope is so prevailing that it's a bit of a stunning subversion when one realizes that, in ''QuantumOfSolace'', he ''doesn't'' sleep with Olga Kurylenko's character, Camille.
** Not to worry though. During the course of the movie, Bond manages to bed Gemma Arterton's character, Agent Fields, who was sent to retrieve Bond from his mission. All it evidently took was the come-on of "finding the stationary" in their swank hotel room.
*** His callous treatment of Agent Fields is perhaps the biggest indicator in the movie that the Bond of this movie had no use for personal entanglements, focused as he was on revenge.
** Much of ''Casino Royale'' was built around a fairly massive subversion/aversion of this: Vesper Fairchilde is set up as a typical Bond conquest-to-be, but instead of that he falls for her, hard, and she completely plays him.
*** Does it count as playing him if she did it to save his life?
*** Given how ''Casino Royale'' is Bond's origin story, it's more accurate to say his callous womanizing [[StartOfDarkness stems from]] their destructive relationship. Few people realize his signature [[DrinkOrder vodka martini]] is actually symbolic: Bond names it after Vesper and then [[TragicKeepsake continues drinking it]] long after [[DeadLittleSister she's dead]].

* All of the British Sex Comedies of the 1970s. But especially the Timmy Lea ''{{Confessions of}} series, ''{{Adventures of}} series, and ''{{The Ups and Downs of a Door-to-Door Salesman}}'' (a film which screamed for sequels).

* Easier to count women in Witcher series that didn't tapped Geralt than those who did. Slighty justified because the witcher's wierdness acts like a magnet.. or because Geralt seems to be some kind of alter ego for Sapkowsky.

** Laurell Hamilton's other major character, Meredith Gentry, also qualifies: she's been able to [[spoiler: bring creatures of Faerie into power via sex, and even revive parts of the Unseelie enclave.]]
* SirAproposOfNothing gets a ring ([[IfYouKnowWhatIMean that does not go on his finger]]) that gives him pornomancy in ''The Woad to Wuin'', the second book of the series.
** Subverted in that it quickly proves to be a curse: "The women came to me in all shapes, all sizes, young and old, pretty and . . . less so. ... Finally they tied me to the bed. There are worse ways to pass one's hours, but none come readily to mind."
* In ''TheDresdenFiles'' this is the power of one of the families of the White Court of Vampires, which they use to facilitate their feeding on a person's ''soul'' and ''life'' through sex. If a vampire gets hungry gender appropriate prey will try to get close and tear their clothes off. The vampires can tone the effect to [[{{DistractedByTheSexy}} tolerable levels]], though.

** It should be noted that gender DOESN'T matter for the White Court. If it has a libido, they can eat it.

** Subverted by Andy Gallagher in ''Simon Said'': he has the power to control people with his CompellingVoice; he refuses to use it to seduce the woman he loves.

** [[IncrediblyLamePun Gross!!]]
* In ''NightCourt'', prosecutor Dan Fielding's whole life revolved around his sexual conquests.
** Humorous given that the actor later went on to play a character on Boston Legal, which had its own fair share of pornomancers.

* Barney from ''HowIMetYourMother'' is a master of this, not only does he have an arsenal of magic tricks, he once managed to pick up a French chick whilst pretending to be an 80 year old man.
** Marshall, apparently, is not so sure. Barney is seen successfully scoring with increasingly bizarre tactics, but by his own admission he has actually flirted with way, way more women than he has slept with. Basically, his pornomancy is a servant to RuleofFunny, and if it's funny for him to get martinis thrown in his face that will happen instead.

* Lt. Matthew "Can't Keep It In His Pants" Scott of ''StargateUniverse'' has bagged at least two women in four episodes, without any pretext whatsoever.
** And a flashback mentioned that as a teenager, he'd gotten his girlfriend pregnant, making it three women in the first four episodes.

* [[TabletopGame/VampireTheMasquerade Vampire]], [[VampireTheRequiem both of them,]] are naturally the most prominent example in White Wolf's library. With two entire magical skills dedicated to making the Vampire irresistible in some fashion, and with several abilities of other disciplines able to do the same. Dominate allows you direct orders, and Majesty/Presence allows you to become unnaturally sexy to everyone around you, and they can't explain why.

[[folder:Webcomics]]
* ''LeastICouldDo'' - Rayne is exceedingly lecherous, and supposedly has many conquests, but it is not clear from the strip how he manages it.
** By being a MarySue WishFulfillment AuthorStandIn.
* ''SkinHorse'': WholesomeCrossdresser Tip somehow manages to charm every woman he meets without even trying. The other characters jokingly refer to it as his "superpower".
** Now he's been turned into a (were)wolf, and every female dog in Captain Bram's evil lair is hot for him.
*** And Muffin.
* Zii of ''[[{{Ptitle23yaaf39}} Ménage à 3]]'' has probably had sex with most of the cast by now, one-shot characters included. She can seduce [[EveryoneIsBi presumably]] straight girls ( and middle-aged, married women) with ease, and once had a foursome with male triplets. Probably the only reason we haven't seen her use her Pornomancy on any gay men yet is because she'd rather [[YaoiFangirl watch them do their own thing]] (although in one what-if scenario created by Gisele on Slipshine is an indication, she could easily do that too).
* You FORGOT [[Girly: EL CHUBACABRE?]]! Though I guess that everyone else was too embarassed to mention the pathetically literal [[spoiler:diety]] woman magnet.

* WhateleyUniverse: Sara. As a demon princess of lust, she can actually hypnotise people into sleeping with her. She prefers not to, viewing it (somewhat accurately) as rape, although no-one ever ''complains'', per se.
** It's not hypnotism. It's a lust aura. After all, she ''is'' a granddaughter of [[EldritchAbomination Shub-Niggurath]]. And she's building up a pretty powerful harem: most of her conquests so far are mutants.
* [[ForestTales Tales of the Folly]] has a [[PsychicPowers literal]] instance of unintentional Pornomancy: "Why do I feel frisky all of a sudden?"
** To a lesser (that is, withstandable) extent, all Chakat mating is this due to their empathy.
* In the YuGiOhAbridged series, Justin Timberlake's "Sexy Back" starts playing whenever Duke Devlin appears.

[[folder:Videogames]]
* ''TheWitcher'': Geralt of Rivia can't seem to avoid falling into bed with townsmaidens, nurses, and sorceresses; some of the sillier things that lead to sex for him include passing a quiz on the language of the Elves and giving a ring (any ring) to a young woman who is jealous of her sister's marriage... it can be ''any'' ring. Luckily for him, STDImmunity and sterility are standard effects of Witcher mutations.
** and a literal example exists in an off hand note that magic can induce orgasms.
*** This troper once got into a townsmaidens pants by giving her flowers...she must 'really' like flowers.
* The so-called 'Romantic Encounters' mod for [[BaldursGate Baldur's Gate II]] adds many dialogues that can make the PC into this. It also modifies an existing mage in the sewers (Mekrath) into a more or less literal [[ThePornomancer Pornomancer]].
* This does tend to happen to the hero of the NeverwinterNights mod The Bastard of Kosigan. With a high Charisma and decent ranks in Persuade, women will literally be falling into bed with him.
* The protagonist of ''KnightsOfXentar'' is blessed to never go without a bed to sleep in. This has . . . interesting results.

* Quagmire in ''FamilyGuy'' and his ubiquitous "Giggity Giggity Goo!"

*** "[[EvenTheGuysWantHim Wow... you are REALLY good"]]
* Brock Samson ''TheVentureBrothers''.

* Scott Baio (the star of CharlesInCharge) is a legendary pornomancer. Some of the beautiful famous women he's nailed include Pamela Anderson, Heather Locklear, Denise Richards, Nicolette Sheridan, Beverly D'Angelo, Erika Eleniak, Nicole Eggart, Natalie Raitano, Brooke Shilds, and even Liza Minnelli. During the late 1980s he was a regular guest at Playboy Mansion parties until he was temporarily banned because he was hooking up with too many Playmates, some of whom were also involved with Hugh Hefner at the time (Baio himself claims that during those days he was scoring with at least one Playmate per month).

* [[VampireTheMasquerade Vampire]], [[VampireTheRequiem both of them,]] are naturally the most prominent example in White Wolf's library. With two entire magical skills dedicated to making the Vampire irresistible in some fashion, and with several abilities of other disciplines able to do the same. Dominate allows you direct orders, and Majesty/Presence allows you to become unnaturally sexy to everyone around you, and they can't explain why.

* This is an inherent power of all werewolves in ''WerewolfTheApocalypse'', although it won't work on anyone who's already in love or in a committed relationship.

Aversions of this trope occur when, for example, the {{Casanova}} "earns" the conquest plausibly to the viewers. Subversions take place when the InformedAbility turns out to be just that... for example, the FemmeFatale's charms fail and she strikes out miserably; it's also a subversion when the person with said powers knows he or she ''can'' use them for sex, but doesn't.

* In ''{{Perfume}}'' the sociopathic protagonist with an inhuman sense of smell makes a perfume [[spoiler: PoweredByAForsakenChild or seven]] that, when applied, causes everyone in a large area to not only love you, but also tear off their clothes and have sex with everyone around. He uses it at a public event with hundreds of people.
** This scene also occurs in the novel.

** And on that note, Bill Clinton in the episodes he graces.

* Negi of ''MahouSenseiNegima'' [[strike:seems to be]] is a pg-13 version of this. Girls seem to constantly [[ClothingDamage get stripped naked]] due to his mere presence. Not to mention that he's elicited romantic interests from at least 3 girls who [[ShrinkingViolet should]] [[DoesNotLikeMen not]] [[EmotionlessGirl be capable]] [[RobotGirl of doing]] [[TinMan that.]] He'd probably be a full-blown Pornomancer [[strike:if]] when his hormones start kicking in.
** As it is he has [[spoiler:[[TheCharmer charmed]] two more of his charges, had a sleeper agent [[HighHeelFaceTurn fall in love with him against her will and defect]], made his jaded, 700-year-old vampire master blush, and pactioed (read: kissed) fourteen young women at the age of ''ten'']].
--->'''[[MetaGuy Chisame]]:''' I swear, you're like a natural freaking gigolo or something!
** Similarly, taken to an extreme in ''HayateTheCombatButler'''s [[http://www.onemanga.com/Hayate_the_Combat_Butler/273/02/ recent chapter]]. Hayate being a {{Chaste Hero}}, he doesn't even ''realize'' he's doing it, though it is noticed by the other characters and one tries to follow his example to his love interest. It doesn't work.

[[{{Whatevermancy}} Pornomancy]] is sometimes blatantly supernatural in a work, particularly in {{Hentai}}, where powers are [[PowerPerversionPotential almost immediately used for their most sexual application]] upon being obtained or there's actually a loose [[LevelUpAtIntimacy5 magical justification]] for [[MamboIntimacy5 all that sexing]], but more often the cause of a character's ability to make respected citizens become slobbering sex maniacs is completely non-magical within the context of the show's universe: it simply starts off as an InformedAbility and everyone pretty much accepts it as a given (with the occasional HandWave when writers feel frisky). Even if the show has no established super-normal content, pornomancy is still possible through ''[=TV=]'' magic.

* A very strange but true example is Benjamin Franklin, who managed to look like...well, an old fat guy...and still be quite the ladies man. During his stay in France, he was often surrounded by women who were usually more attractive, younger, and were preferably intelligent. He had at least one illegitimate child (a son named William), although it's very likely he had more, which was all apparently accepted by his wife (who, by the way, also bore some children for him. His secret? Make the ladies feel like their opinions and intelligence matter.

* You FORGOT [[Girly EL CHUBACABRE?]]! Though I guess that everyone else was too embarassed to mention the pathetically literal [[spoiler:diety]] woman magnet.
