18	->'''Count Drusus Beausoleil:''' Shall I have her bathed and brought to your quarters, then? Mu ha.\
19	'''Du Quay:''' Tch. Drusus, you ''really'' need to stop reading those Othar Tryggvassen adventure novels.
20	-->-- ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'' ([[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20150807 Vol. 15 p. 74]])
21
22	The villain has the lovely damsel [[IHaveYouNowMyPretty right where he wants her]]. His plans for her at this point will likely involve putting her in GoGoEnslavement, [[DroitDuSeigneur invoke ''ius primae noctis'']], and possibly giving her a SadisticChoice [[ScarpiaUltimatum between preserving her virtues and preserving the life of that insufferable do-gooder she calls her true love]]...
23
24	...'''but first, it looks like she could do with a nice hot bath!''' He has his servants (hot maidservants usually, or failing that, eunuchs) take her away to be cleaned up and groomed properly. Bonus pervert points if he then [[ThePeepingTom watches them]] [[{{Fanservice}} strip and bathe her]] via [[SurveillanceAsThePlotDemands hidden camera]], two-way mirror, peephole, CrystalBall, or the like.
25
26	{{Justified\|Trope}} in pre-modern settings, since in many societies throughout history, [[TheDungAges bathing had been a luxury]] which only the upper classes could afford themselves and the heroine should be expectably dirty.
27	In less adult-oriented media, the bathing is just to make sure she'll [[AndNowYouMustMarryMe look nice in her wedding dress.]]
28
29	Compare SheCleansUpNicely and sometimes NoMrBondIExpectYouToDine. Related to, but not necessarily the same thing as, GoGoEnslavement. UndressingTheUnconscious may occur if the character is bathed while they're unconscious. Can precede a ShamefulStrip if no clothes are provided following the bath. May go hand-in-hand with AndNowYouMustMarryMe and SexSlave.
30
31	'''An Important Notice:''' Please remember folks, that ''bathing or at least some mention of bathing is a key element to qualify as an example of this trope.'' Thank you, carry on.
32
33	Not to be confused with BringHimToMe... [[ByNoIMeanYes Except]] [[VillainousCrush when it can be]]. And being a BathingBeauty is not a pre-requisite for this treatment either. A more comedic related trope is ForcedBath.

37	!!Examples:

40
41	[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
42	* Sarasa is taken prisoner and chosen as a ritual sacrifice in the last episode (ep. 13) of ''[[Manga/{{Basara}} Legend of Basara]]'', and undergoes a purification ceremony with utterly undisguised loathing. (see above picture) Part of what makes it so abhorrent for Sarasa is that that she and her love interest (assumed to have been killed by her captors at this point) often met at open air baths.
43	* ''Manga/BlackButler'': In the anime, Lord Trancy chooses young boys to be his sex slaves in episode 8 of season 2 and before they are presented to him to "entertain" him they are bathed and treated like livestock by the house maids.
44	** In the manga, this is what happened to Ciel [[spoiler:and his twin brother]] before being prepped up to be sacrificed.
45	* Early in ''Manga/BoysOverFlowers'', [[PluckyGirl Tsukushi]] is borderline kidnapped and brought to Doumyouji's BigFancyHouse, where she gets a bath and a makeover from the house staff. Somewhat averted, as there is little to no sexual coercion intended - Doumyouji wants either to bribe her to be his girlfriend or bribe her to stop interfering with the F4, depending on the adaptation. Doumyouji is just that dense.
46	%%* At the end of ''Manga/FushigiYuugi'', we learn that this was [[spoiler:Nakago's]] fate under the emperor of Kutou.
47	* In ''Anime/{{Inuyasha}}'', Kagome is taken captive by the sage Kokajin and wakes up in a bath. In a rare subversion, he has no sexual intentions with her, but rather just wants her to be clean before he turns her into juice for a man-eating tree. In the manga, he just wants to outright eat her.
48	%%* A non-romantic example in ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamF91'' has Cecily/Berah Ronah taken back to her father and grandfather to become part of [[AristocratsAreEvil a ruling aristocratic family]].
49	* ''Anime/LegendOfTheBlueWolves'': Jonathan is forced under a shower spray by one of Captain Continental's subordinates before the FatBastard himself enters completely nude to rape Jonathan.
50	%%* Andrew Waltfeld has this done to Cagalli in ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED'' after an assassination attempt on Andrew left Cagalli with food all over her. It doesn't have villainous overtones, however: although Andrew [[spoiler:is Cagalli's sworn enemy, he pretends he doesn't know who Cagalli is or that she's after his life, and was actually being genuinely affable; not surprising, given the GreyAndGrayMorality of the Gundam franchise]].
51	* In ''Anime/MobileSuitVictoryGundam'' the protagonist Uso Ewin is ordered to be put into a bubble bath by the Zanscare Empire Lieutenant, Lupe Cineau. She then takes this a step further by getting into the bath with him and attempts to [[BlackComedyRape "Interrogate"]] him causing him to fight back and escape.
52	%%** UC Gundam in general has a big thing about women being bathed by beautiful handmaidens. It also turns up in ''Char's Deleted Affair'' with Haman Khan (voluntarily, as part of her coronation ritual to become Princess Mineva's regent), and ''Manga/MobileSuitCrossboneGundam'' with Bernadette/Lady Tetenith before being forced by her evil father to use her PsychicPowers to fight against the heroes.
53	%%* The Obsidian Lord orders his female [[TheDragon Dragons]] to [[LesYay do this]] to Mai after he's done using MoreThanMindControl on her in the manga version of ''Manga/MyHime''. Very creepy since [[spoiler: he's using her younger brother Takumi's body as his vessel.]]
54	%%* Happens to Negi in ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'' when he visits Evangeline, who happened to be bathing at the time. His complaints are mostly because he doesn't like washing.
55	[[/folder]]
56
57	[[folder:Comedy]]
58	* One of Creator/JimmyCarr's gags, when either talking to a sexually adventurous woman in the audience or as a reply to an audience member whistling at him.
59	-->"Have her washed and brought to my room. I'm joking; don't wash her."
60	[[/folder]]
61
62	[[folder:Comic Books]]
63	* In a ''ComicBook/{{Catwoman}}'' comic book, before her wedding to a nobleman, the title character was forcibly given a bath by two of his henchwomen.
64	* In ''ComicBook/{{Femforce}}'' #51, the Claw mind controls Ms. Victory and intends to make her his queen. He declares her costume to not be raiment fit for a queen and strips her before handing her over to handmaidens with the instructions:
65	-->"Now, handmaidens, prepare a hot bath for your lady! Your royal robes await! Tomorrow, my American beauty, you shall take your place as the Bride of the Claw!"
66	* Happens in ''Little Ego'' when Ego is siezed by the Green Sheik and taken to his harem. The Green Sheik hands her over to the other women of the harem to have her bathed. This being [[ReallyGetsAround Ego]], it quickly turns into a TwoPersonPoolParty. Which then turns out to be [[AllJustAdream all just]] an EroticDream
67	* The ''ComicBook/NewMutants'': immediately after being captured by the forces of the priestess Selene, she has her servants bathe Wolfsbane, Dani, and Magma, which then leads to the girls being drugged with wine, [[GoGoEnslavement dressed in skimpy slave outfits, and being sold into (arena fighting) slavery]].
68	* Has happened to ComicBook/RedSonja more than once, when some EvilOverlord decides to make her part of his harem. See the ''Sonja Goes East'' one-shot for one such example which ends with the man dead or "Birth of the She-Devil" where Sultan Bashir, ''despite knowing she's killed kings'', tries it and ends up dead.
69	* ''ComicBook/SupermanSupergirlMaelstrom'': Subverted. After Maelstrom has been tortured in punishment for trying to start a slave revolt, Darkseid orders she is bathed, cleaned and brought to his chambers... so he can tell her personally her obsessive crush on him is unhealthy and unrequited.
70	* ''Franchise/WonderWoman'' [[ComicBook/WonderWoman1942 Vol 1]]: Queen Clea has ComicBook/SteveTrevor stripped, cleaned up, [[GoGoEnslavement dressed in a loincloth]] and brought before her...to face some of her monsters in the arena for her entertainment. Despite the heavy BDSM overtones this series was aimed at ''children'' and thus remained within limits of the rating.
71	* In the UsefulNotes/{{furry\|Fandom}} comic ''ComicBook/{{Xanadu\|VickyWyman}}'', when Tabbe Le Fauve is captured, the unicorn Empress Alicia orders him bathed in the magic unicorn pool. Being a cat, Tabbe is frantically resistant to be thrown into water, but immediately changes his mind when he is thrown in: the magic water feels more like silk and Empress Alicia, naked, smoking hot looking and horny as her horn, climbs in to join him.
72	* In ''X-Treme ComicBook/XMen'', interdimensional conqueror Kahn captures ComicBook/{{Storm\|MarvelComics}} and intends to make her his bride, and has his servants bathe her.
73	[[/folder]]
74
75	[[folder:Comic Strips]]
76	* ''ComicStrip/ModestyBlaise'': Kang, the leader of the Chinese deserters, orders this done to Modesty after she enters the valley posing as a mute slave girl in "Death Symbol".
77	-->"She is Americano--hurt head, cannot speak--she has been searched and washed--you speak to her, Mo-Ree. See to clothes and food, tell what she must do, and find name for her. Kang will have her tonight."
78	[[/folder]]
79
80	[[folder:Fan Works]]
81	* At the beginning of Chapter 23 of ''Fanfic/CodeGeassLelouchOfBritannia''.
82	* ''Fanfic/DreamlandUniversityRedux'': Gender flipped version happens to Meta Knight when he's captured by Dark Mind and trapped in the Mirror World, although it's somewhat justified. Not only does Meta Knight have injuries that need treated, but he'd previously been in a fight and spent some time in a dungeon.
83	* In the ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' fanfic ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2923653/1/Duty_Before_Honor Duty Before Honor]]'', Sakura is subject to this when she goes undercover to retrieve a vase from a [[DirtyOldMan dirty old pervert]]. Unfortunately, [[spoiler:this washes off most of the poison she smeared over her body to protect herself from said pervert]].
84	* [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4629651/1/The_Harem_Slave This]] ''Anime/{{Voltron}}'' fan fic at [[http://www.fanfiction.net fanfiction.net]] in the third chapter.
85	[[/folder]]
86
87	[[folder:Films -- Animation]]
88	%%* [[EvilGenius Dr. Satan]] does this to his [[UnholyMatrimony unholy bride]] before their wedding in ''WesternAnimation/TheHauntedWorldOfElSuperbeasto''.
89	* ''WesternAnimation/HeavyMetal'':
90	-->'''Barbarian Leader:''' Have her bound and washed. Then... bring her to me.
91	* ''WesternAnimation/ThePrinceOfEgypt'': Tzipporah, a Midian woman who was kidnapped by the Egyptians and given Ramses as a [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids concubine]], is passed off to Moses, who tricks her into falling into a pool of water. Ramses gives the order, "Have her dried off and sent to Prince Moses' chambers!" Moses doesn't look any happier with the thought than Tzipporah, but she swiftly enacts her own escape before any awkward confrontations can occur. Funnily enough, this is {{inverted}} later--he winds up in Midian after wandering in the desert and is bathed by some old women. He seems just as uncomfortable as before.
92	[[/folder]]
93
94	[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
95	* In ''Film/AmericanPsycho'' (Uncut; 39:12), Patrick Bateman prepares his escort Christie a bath and instructs "I want you to clean your vagina, ... get out, dry off, robe and meet me and [the second escort Sabrina] in the living room for drinks."
96	* ''Film/TheBarbarian'': What is happening in the infamous BathtubScene where a (seemingly) nude Myrna Loy is getting a wash (in 1933!), although she does not know it. Diana makes her way to a palace in the Sahara, where the lady servants of the house give her a bath. She enjoys the bath, but what she does not know is that the palace belongs to Achmed Pasha, who lusts for her and has arranged for her to be brought there. She's taken into his presence immediately afterwards.
97	%%* In ''Film/{{Becket}}'' King Henry II does this with a peasant girl in whose hovel he shelters from the rain -- he then later tries to give her to Thomas a Becket.
98	* ''Film/TheBestHouseInLondon'': Walter is a sleazy, slimy young aristocrat who is setting up a brothel. After getting a look at one job applicant, Walter, who has already said he will test all the girls personally before hiring them, says "Give her a wash."
99	* In ''Film/{{Bunraku}}'', Killer #2 tells the prostitutes to get [[spoiler:Momoko]] ready for him later that night, luckily giving the heroes some time to rescue her. Alexandra is also bathed before being sent back to Nicola.
100	%%* Said by Roderick in ''Film/TheCourtJester'' to the guards escorting Maid Jean.
101	* In ''Film/GunFury'', the outlaw Frank Slayton has the whores at Pedro's ranch bathe the captive Jennifer before he comes to her room and forces himself on her.
102	* In ''Film/TheDeathOfStalin'', Beria orders his men to bathe a young girl he later rapes.
103	%%* In the campy 1980 classic ''Film/{{Flash Gordon\|1980}}'', Ming The Merciless orders his lackeys to "Remove the Earth woman" (Dale Arden) and "Prepare her for our pleasure" just after using his hypnotic ring to seduce her.
104	* ''Film/TheMasqueOfTheRedDeath'': The depraved Prince Prospero orders his coach to halt so as to abduct a pretty peasant girl, who once back at his castle is duly bathed...
105	* In ''Film/MyFairLady'', Henry Higgins orders his maids to do this to Eliza Doolittle, verbatim. He just wants them to wash off the filth of the London streets before he and Eliza begin their lessons, but Eliza assumes he has more nefarious things in mind and fights like a wildcat when they try to undress her, insisting that she's a "good girl".
106	%%* ''[[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084469/ Paradise (1982)]]'' had a fairly straightforward example of this trope, though it seems contrived mainly so that the [[VillainBall villain's incompetence]] would keep him from having his way with the heroine before her heroic boyfriend could rescue her.
107	* In ''Film/PrinceValiant1997'', Lady Ilene is bathed by the other captured princesses. However, she manages to convince them that she can bathe herself, sneaks out and spies on the bad guys, then sneaks back in and gets dressed without them noticing.
108	* Implied in ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'': Jabba never orders Leia's change in wardrobe from BountyHunter to [[SexSlave odalisque]] on screen, but there is little question as to which of the two desired the change.
109	* In ''Film/SuperMarioBros1993'' Koopa has Lena clean Daisy up and give her a makeover before they meet face-to-face, including a princess dress that belonged to her mother, a different hairstyle, and red lipstick.
110	* This happened to Creator/BoDerek as "Jane," in ''[[Film/TarzanTheApeMan1981 Tarzan, the Ape Man]]'' (starring Miles O'Keefe), as she was captured by generic African savages and prepared as the royal bride for their chief.
111	* The 1956 Creator/CecilBDeMille classic ''Film/{{The Ten Commandments\|1956}}'':
112	--> Tears? When you have been bathed in scented water.... when your limbs have been caressed by sweet oils... and your hair combed with sandalwood... there will be no time for tears.
113	* ''Film/VirginTerritory'': A rare male example with Lorenzo and the two nuns, who have him bathe before [[TwoPersonPoolParty joining him]].
114	* ''Film/TheWarriorsWay'' have the ruthless Colonel, who had a penchant for raping young women with healthy teeth, demanding a pair of teenaged sisters to be washed by his men before being sent to his quarters. [[KickTheDog After he killed their parents, that is]].
115	[[/folder]]
116
117	[[folder:Literature]]
118	* Downplayed in ''Literature/TheAliceNetwork''. The mistress of a ManOfWealthAndTaste is asked to take a bath before coming to his bedroom each night, but she bathes herself and she isn't forced into it. She is humiliated by the insinuation that she smells, but she also appreciates the hot water and expensive soap, neither of which she has access to otherwise.
119	* In ''Literature/TheBakersBoy'', Melli is at one point captured by one of the Big Bads and offered a bath, which he subsequently watches through a hole in the wall with delight.
120	* ''Literature/TheBelgariad'': Salmissra sends the kidnapped (and drugged) Garion off with her eunuchs and maidservants to be bathed, as a prelude to being dressed up in GoGoEnslavement. For added {{Squick}} value, he's ''15''. As a result, it is not surprising that Polgara's MamaBear instincts kick-in and she tears apart most of Salmissra's palace as part of her RoaringRampageOfRescue.
121	* In the non-fiction ''Beyond the Call'' by Lee Trimble, an American officer arranges for a female refugee who's been sleeping rough to have a bath at the hotel where he's staying. She assumes this trope is in play and he wants her body in exchange for his help.
122	* ''The Series/{{Blackadder}} Chronicles'' script book included a transcript of Captain Darling's application form for Emergency Transfer to Somewhere Much Safer. At the bottom were three checkboxes for the superior officer to choose between: "Application approved"; "Applicant to be ShotAtDawn"; and "Applicant to be washed and sent to my tent".
123	* Inverted in the Creator/AnneRice novel, ''[[Literature/TheVampireChronicles Blackwood Farm]]''. After being kidnapped by Petronia, Quinn Blackwood awakes to find a pair of servants bathing him in preparation for his vampiric conversion. They even go so far as to give him a haircut and a shave before bringing him before Petronia. The rest of the event unfolds in a less pleasant fashion as Petronia has Quinn fight her in a hopeless battle for his own life where Quinn eventually attempts a GroinAttack. Petronia then [[spoiler:forces Quinn to fellate her hermaphroditic penis, which he does...just before he bites down hard. The blood from that bite is what eventually forces Quinn into vampirism]].
124	* When [[spoiler:Amara]] of ''Literature/CodexAlera'' is captured by [[spoiler:Brencis Kalarus Minorus]], he [[BrainWashing collars]] her and taunts/questions her, complete with maidservant doing the washing, while she's being cleaned in the bath. This being a Creator/JimButcher work, though, [[spoiler:it's actually a ploy, as she made herself immune to collaring by being pre-collared by her husband/spy-partner around her thigh, hiding it under her pants, and went into the situation expecting to probably be captured so that she can get close enough to make a (successful) attempt on Brencis' life]].
125	%%* Happens to Lafiel in ''Literature/CrestOfTheStars''. Ironically, [[spoiler:she's a guest of an Abh noble, and she's the granddaughter of the Abh Empress, and doesn't realize she's being held at the time]].
126	* In ''[[Literature/TheMerlinTrilogy The Crystal Cave]]'', after 12-year-old Merlin is caught spying on a secret rite, Count Ambrosius orders him brought to his headquarters, where he is given a hot bath (a Roman custom) and a meal. Later the Count questions him, and then invites Merlin to sleep in his room. For a moment Merlin wonders whether Ambrosius is "Roman in other ways". He isn't, and Merlin is shown to a bed in a small alcove. [[spoiler: It turns out that Ambrosius is Merlin's father.]]
127	* ''Literature/TheFamiliarOfZero'': When Siesta is made into a servant for Count Mott he explains suggestively he didn't hire her just to do household chores and a later scene shows her getting a bath while crying before she is requested to appear before Mott, presumably to engage in sexual activities with him (unwanted by her of course).
128	%%* Another male example is Creator/OrsonScottCard's novel ''Literature/HartsHope'', when Orem is prepared for his first meeting with Beauty.
129	%%* In ''[[Literature/HollowKingdomTrilogy The Hollow Kingdom]]'', Kate gets this treatment right before [[spoiler: her wedding to the goblin king.]]
130	* Subverted in ''Literature/TheHungerGames''. On reaching the Capitol, Katniss is stripped naked, bathed by the "prep team" (who make rude remarks about her peasant dirtiness in the process), and delivered to Cinna still nude. But it turns out that Cinna isn't interested in sex at all; he's an eccentric tailor and his first step in designing clothes is looking at his client naked.
131	%%* In ''Jason Cosmo,'' the hero comes from a muddy little village where bathing is frowned on. When he tries to enter the town of Whiteswab, he gets pounced on by three guardsmen wielding wire brushes and soap.
132	* ''Literature/ShadowsOfTheEmpire'': when Prince Xizor was both trapping Princess Leia and teasing her with possibilities of an alliance while attempting to seduce her. She was his guest for a while, and explicitly dressed in the dark so it would be harder for him to spy on her. He once invited her to take a bath with him. [[GroinAttack She got back at him later.]]
133	%%* In ''Slave World'', this is not merely common: It is a social institution surrounded by all kinds of rules and protocols.
134	* ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'':
135	** ''Literature/TalesOfDunkAndEgg'': In ''The Sworn Sword'', it's sarcastically noted that the name of this trope could just as well have been the personal motto of the late and infamous womanizer king Aegon the Unworthy.
136	--->"Fire and Blood" were the words of House Targaryen, but Dunk once heard Ser Arlan say that Aegon's should have been, '"Wash Her and Bring Her to My Bed."
137	** ''Literature/ADanceWithDragons'': Ramsay Bolton takes this to the next level with his (unwilling) bride. He's a bit of a hygiene freak, and has her constantly bathed. However it is implied that his wife is doing this because [[ShowerOfAngst she feels ashamed]] because of [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil the things Ramsay has been doing to her]].
138	%%* ''Literature/TheSparrow'': This is what happens to Father Emilio Sandoz.
139	* ''Literature/{{Spellfall}}'': A non-villain (but still JerkAss) example. Natalie, a twelve-years-old girl, is captured by an [[BigBad evil Wizard]] Hawk, and after a few days of capture, escapes with Merlin, Hawk's son, who is 11 years old. When they arrive at the Council of Oq, she is told that before she can speak with the council, she has to take a swim in a special cleansing pool. As she herself also wants to be clean (after days without shower or bath), she is actually glad -- until she learns that Merlin also has to take a swim in the same pool, and no, bathing suits are not provided.
140	* ''Literature/TawnyMan'': ''Fool's Fate'', the last book of trilogy, has the hero brought before the big bad as '''she''' bathes. She then gets out of the bath in a seductive manner and leaves him to relax in her still hot, used bath water. Given that he's been worn ragged searching through ice caves and frozen wasteland for the past few weeks, he resignedly accepts.
141	* ''Literature/TheTravellerInBlack'': This functions as a semi-important detail in the novella "The Wager Lost by Winning", where the rather unsympathetic protagonist is bathed before being claimed by Lord Fellian.
142	* ''Literature/TreasureHoard'': Rori is told he will be getting a bath from two people upon arrival at his new home and fears this trope. [[spoiler: Turns out, the Master [[SubvertedTrope simply thought he'd appreciate getting a bath before meeting with him]].]]
143	[[/folder]]
144
145	[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
146	* Spoofed in ''Series/AlloAllo'' when Rene is captured by the Communist resistance, and their leader Louise orders her AmazonBrigade to "bath him, shave him, and take him to my bunker."
147	* Nina, the werewolf, gets this treatment in the ''Series/{{Angel}}'' episode "Unleashed", although in this case, she was being prepared to meet her host at dinner, [[spoiler:as the entree]].
148	* ''Series/{{Cheers}}'': A random gag in episode "[[Recap/CheersS5E21SimonSays Simon Says]]". Frasier's friend Simon Finch-Royce, the marriage counselor, is introduced to Carla. Simon the snooty, upper-class Brit takes one look at Carla, the earthy, foul-mouthed, working-class waitress, and says "Have her scrubbed and brought to my tent."
149	* Lady Cassandra from ''Series/DoctorWho'' plays with this Trope, since she thinks the Doctor's companion, Rose Tyler could [[GrandTheftMe become her new host]]. She makes sure that her servant Chip makes Rose go through a disinfectant in the elevator of the hospital where they are all in. This was done intentionally since Chip hacks the elevator controls in order to lead Rose into their dungeon and asks her if she is all cleaned up. After a good time of snarking at each other, Cassandra manages to possess Rose and despite being disgusted about doing it at first because she is a high-class lady and Rose is of a humble background, she quickly grows fond of her new appeal, spending a good amount of time [[ShowingOffTheNewBody studying the new merchandise]] and later sexualizes her new (Rose's) appearance in order to seduce the Doctor. It helps that Cassandra is something like a [[FemmeFatale Femme Fatale]] archetype so there's a lot of [[ShamelessFanserviceGirl Shameless Fanservice]] from her side.
150	* ''Series/GameOfThrones'':
151	** In "[[Recap/GameOfThronesS5E6UnbowedUnbentUnbroken "Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken]]", Ramsey's mistress Myranda, who is as sadistic as he is, approaches Lady Sansa Stark's room and draws her a bath, telling her she must be clean and fresh for her new husband. As she washes Sansa's back, she tells her about Ramsay's reputation as TheBlueBeard. Sansa listens at first but then she tells Myranda to stop, reminding her that whatever she may have been, she was just a kennel-master's daughter and she should have known that Ramsay would tire of her. The dark implications of the trope are present even though Sansa is a noble woman who agreed to marry Ramsey. Her decision was not exactly voluntary and after the haunting midnight wedding, Ramsey rapes her, and forces brain-washed Theon (who was Starks' hostage/ward and basically grew up with the Stark children) to watch.
152	** [[Recap/GameOfThronesS3E8SecondSons "Second Sons"]] has a gender-flipped version. Upon arriving at Dragonstone Melisandre sends Gendry off to be bathed and dressed before he's brought to her chambers where she's planning on seducing him and using him as part of a BloodMagic ritual. Stannis asks her why she's bothering to treat him with such apparent kindness instead of just killing him and getting it over with. Melisandre explains that it's to keep him calm so he won't try to fight or escape, comparing it to how a lamb about to be slaughtered will panic if it sees the knife.
153	* ''Series/OneLifeToLive'': when Max Holden has a NearDeathExperience, Death appears to him in the guise of a beautiful, seductive woman, and her first effort to entice Max into her bed (in other words, choose to die rather than live), is to insist that he take a bath.
154	* ''Series/{{Pandora}}'': When the Seeker is getting ready for bed, he has his clone slaves bathe ''him'', paying special attention to all those hard-to-reach places, which has tons of unfortunate implications, especially once it becomes clear that [[spoiler: he's quite aware that one of his slaves has been replaced by Atria Nine, who he believes is here to assassinate him]].
155	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYpwbPmUa2E Referenced]] in ''Series/{{QI}}'', where the sight of Alan Davies trying on a scold's bridle brought on the HoYay:
156	-->'''Alan Davies (as Stephen Fry):''' Have him scrubbed and brought to my room.\
157	'''Creator/StephenFry:''' Actually, don't bother to have him scrubbed.
158	* ''Series/RobinOfSherwood'' episode "The Betrayal": Prince John tells the captured Marion that she'll be bathed, scented, dressed in Byzantine silk, and brought to him.
159	* Happens to [[RedShirt the unfortunate female USAF senior airman]] captured at the start of [[AvoidTheDreadedGRating the uncut version]] of the ''Series/StargateSG1'' PilotMovie "Children of the Gods".
