* In ''Discworld/GuardsGuards'', Carrot is staying at a brothel. He has no idea of his home's true nature. He also misses the point when he tells this to someone else, and they are impressed that he can afford it, and by his stamina. They don't charge him rent in exchange for his services as bouncer, which he also doesn't quite grasp. The offer included access to the place's usual services too, and it seems like the owners never quite figured out that he wasn't just being a gentleman in not taking advantage.

The protagonist spends the night with a prostitute to avoid sleeping in a hotel, as he's on the run from people who have already gone to great lengths to track him down and kill him. However he has trouble convincing the woman he doesn't want to sleep with her ([[HeelFaithTurn he's a monk]]), yet isn't planning something nasty instead. They do share the bed; he pretends this is out of a desire to just hold her for comfort, when actually it's to [[ProperlyParanoid ensure she can't sneak out of the room without waking him up]].
