11	%%
12	When one partner has to go somewhere and the other wants more sex. Often used to show just how devoted a character is to the task at hand -- they're refusing ''sex'' in order to get on with it -- while their SatelliteLoveInterest only has [[AManIsAlwaysEager one]] [[AllWomenAreLustful thing]] on their mind. That, or it just serves to suggest the character [[SexGod is that good in bed]]. Alternately, it can lead to CoitusUninterruptus.
13
14	A common, more chaste use is when one character gets up in the middle of the night to contemplate something (common in mystery and UrbanFantasy stories) and their significant other wakes up and asks their beloved to come back to bed, so they can sleep.

21	* In ''Anime/MacrossPlus'', after Isamu and his co-worker/friend-with-benefits Lucy have had sex, Isamu is woken up by a call. He answers it but Lucy tells him to go back to be with her so he hangs up. The call was seemingly from [[spoiler:his ex-girlfriend Myung, who has caught quite a DistressBall and needs urgent help; Guld ends up saving her instead]]. However, [[spoiler:the call was actually from ''Sharon'', who was ''impersonating Myung'' (who herself was trapped in a fire). She was attempting to either bring Myung and Isamu together, instigate a fight between Isamu and Guld when they both showed up to save her, or kill Myung outright; Sharon was the one who overloaded a circuit and started the fire that put Myung in danger to begin with, then attempted to kill both Myung and Guld when Isamu didn't show up]]. To be fair to Isamu, [[spoiler: he didn't recognize the voice anyways, since it was a robotic message that kept repeating; he simply thought it was a prank call]].
22	* Misa ''tries'' this with Light in ''Manga/DeathNote'' but he tells ''her'' to get out of bed and [[SerialKillerKiller "back to work"]].

25	[[folder:Comic Books]]
26	* In ''The Secret History of ComicBook/TheAuthority'', Jenny Sparks is reminiscing about the fateful night where she saved Swift from the Nazis (and ruminating on how [[AuthorFilibuster Bill Clinton is exactly like Adolf Hitler]]) when Swift comes down and tells her to come back to bed.
27	* ''ComicBook/GastonLagaffe'': The chaste version occurs several times with MeddlesomePatrolman Longtarin in response to his CatapultNightmare about Gaston's misdeeds.

30	[[folder:Fan Works]]
31	* In ''[[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/106068/1/relax/intimacy Relax,]]'' the protagonist tries to get out of bed when his session with the prostitute expires. She lets him spend the night with her anyway.
32	* The ''Manga/SpyXFamily'', [[Rule34 NSFW doujin]], "[[ParallelPornTitles Spy x Sex]]" revolves around [[BigBrotherAttraction Yuri being jealous that his sister, Yor, is married to Loid]], so he bugged their apartment to gather evidence that Loid is an abusive husband, and Yuri intends to use that evidence [[MurderTheHypotenuse to have his brother-in-law arrested and executed]]. [[RightForTheWrongReasons Loid is more concerned Yuri's trying to expose him]] as [[DeepCoverAgent Twilight]], but can't disable the microphones or he'll blow his cover as a foreign spy. To get Yuri off his back, Loid asks Yor to sleep with him, and uses a small portable jammer to block the microphones' signals, thinking Yuri would freak out, turn off his radio, and blame the disruption on equipment failure when he turned it back on. However, [[ParalyzingFearOfSexuality Yor gets scared and locks herself in her room]], and when Loid goes to apologize for trying to pressure her into having sex, because a break up would ruin Operation Strix, she invites him into her bedroom [[LingerieScene while wearing sexy lingerie]] and explains that Camilla, a coworker, told her he would leave her for another woman if he feels sexually unsatisfied, [[TheirFirstTime and they make love for the first time]]. After he chastises himself for losing focus of the mission while in throes of passion, he swears he'll go back to being [[TheStoic Twilight]], but Yor calls Loid over so he can service her again. After their second session, Loid notices the jammer ran out of power, [[HoistByHisOwnPetard and Yuri is shown crying inconsolably after hearing his beloved older sister and her husband doing it]], and the narrating text says Yuri couldn't report to work the next day. When Loid decides to call it an evening and go back to his room, Yor pins him down to the mattress, [[ExtremeLibido and it's heavily implied she made him keep going for the remainder of the night]], since the narrating text stated he couldn't go to work the next day either.

36	* ''WesternAnimation/DCShowcaseConstantineTheHouseOfMystery''. John Constantine jumps into bed with a ReadyForLovemaking ComicBook/{{Zatanna}}, only for her to turn out to be a [[SuccubiAndIncubi succubus]] and NeckSnap him. He's in a TimeLoopTrap so just comes back to life, only for her to attack him later while giving this line.
37	* In ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles1'', when Bob is heading to work his wife pulls him back once he's already ''out the door'', using her elastic arms. This is presumably as close as a family film could get to hinting at Elastigirl "[[PowerPerversionPotential using her powers in the bedroom]]".
38	[[/folder]]

40	[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
41	* Some of the earlier ''Film/JamesBond'' films.

43	** In ''Film/{{Thunderball}}'', Bond manages to seduce the IceQueen nurse at the health clinic, but right when she's getting worked up for another round thanks to being massaged by Bond's mink glove, he catches sight of something suspicious outside and leaves for some 'exercise'.

44	** ''Film/TheSpyWhoLovedMe'':

50	--->'''Bond''': Sorry. Something came up.
51	--->'''Girl''': But, James, I need you.
52	--->'''Bond''': So does England!
53	*** This is a [[SubvertedTrope subversion]], as said girl is a KGB informant, who goes on to inform KGB assassins of [[DoubleEntendre Bond's position]]--[[VerbalBackspace location!]]
54	** ''Film/LiveAndLetDie''. Bond seduces the virginal Solitaire for information (citing [[RuleNumberOne Lesson No. 1]]: no secrets between lovers) only to find out she doesn't know much about what the BigBad is up to on his IslandBase. So Bond is determined to go look for himself and makes it clear that she's coming with him. "Togetherness is Lesson Number Two." Solitaire asks coyly if there's time for Lesson Number 3 before they go.
55	--->'''Bond:''' Certainly, darling. [[DoubleEntendre There's no point in going off half-cocked.]]
56	* Implied in ''Film/RearWindow'', where a newlywed couple move into an apartment close to the protagonists. They close their blinds, and are not seen for a while. After a few days, the man is seen leaning out of the window, and his wife calls him back.
57	* ''Film/{{Frantic}}''. Dr. Richard Walker pretends to do this to stop a pair of Mossad agents roughing up the French girl who's helping him (actually Walker had just sneaked in the bedroom window).
58	* ''Film/TheCrazies1973''. Happens as a MoodWhiplash after the opening scene where a man burns his family to death. The two protagonists, a volunteer firefighter and a nurse, tease each other about ignoring the ringing phone and blaring fire siren.
59	* ''Film/DrStrangelove'': General Turgidson is called to the War Room, leaving his girlfriend protesting - in keeping with the overall theme of the movie he tells her "You just start your countdown, and ol' Bucky'll be back before you can say 'BLAST OFF!'"
60	* In a flashback to when he was Lord Marshall of the Necromongers, ''Film/{{Riddick}}'' is shown drinking on his throne, ignoring the allure of four naked women in his bed. When we see the cold eyes of his RoyalHarem, [[LonelyAtTheTop we understand why]].
61	* Happens in ''Film/TheNuttyProfessor1996'', but [[PlayingWithATrope with a twist]]. Buddy Love is implied to have had sex with at least one of the women with whom he had been partying the night before; when he turns back into Sherman Klump the next day, he has to get out of bed to tend to Carla Purdy. One of the floozies follows Sherman out of bed and asks where Buddy is, causing Carla to become suspicious that Sherman and Buddy are sharing women.
62	* ''Film/StarTrekIntoDarkness''. Jim Kirk is in bed with [[TwinThreesomeFantasy twin]] {{Cat Girl}}s when his communicator rings. As he [[JumpedAtTheCall eagerly searches for it]]...

64	-->'''Catgirl 2:''' You're not ''actually'' going to answer that, are you?
65	* In ''Film/ArtOfTheDead'', the {{Lust}}-stricken Gina attempts to lure Dylan to bed, but he's too affected by {{Greed}} to pay attention to her.
66	[[/folder]]
67
68	[[folder:Literature]]
69	* A combination of the two uses occurs in ''[[Literature/XWingSeries The Bacta War]]'', with Corran being called back to bed by Mirax while he's up late at night, worrying over what he's gotten them all into (at the end of the last novel, he resigned his commission because the politicos wouldn't let him go after the BigBad, and the rest of the squadron followed).
70	** This also occurs near the start of ''[[Literature/JediAcademyTrilogy I, Jedi]]'', before Mirax gets kidnapped and Corran is wondering if he should accept Luke's offer to join the academy after all.
71	[[/folder]]
72
73	[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
74	* ''Series/TheCrown2016''. In "Misadventure", a young Queen Elizabeth wakes up to find Prince Philip doing calisthenics after an implied night of lovemaking, wonders where he gets the energy...and then invites him back into bed for another go. Then their courtiers enter with breakfast only to quickly depart when the Queen tells them to leave, giggling all the while. The scene sets a sad contrast with a previous flashforward set several months later when their marriage is under strain.
75	* ''Series/ParksAndRecreation'': After Mark seduces the Pawnee reporter Shawna Malwae-Tweep (who is writing a story on Leslie building a park), he tells her to come back to bed because "that park is never going to get built".

76	* In ''Series/{{Smallville}}'', Clark [[spoiler:(actually Bizarro)]] to Lana in "Persona".

87	* [[TheCaptain Sisko]] tries this on Kassidy once in ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine''. Doesn't work, but he still has her pillow to hold.
88	* ''Series/StarTrekVoyager''. In "The Disease", by-the-book Ensign Kim is having an illicit relationship with an [[BoldlyComing alien girl]] against Starfleet regulations. She wakes up to find him fretting about it, so gives this trope. When he says he's disobeying Captain Janeway's direct orders as well, she says ThatsAnOrder and he complies (at least until he realises they should have both been at their posts several minutes ago).
89	* ''Series/TheXFiles'': [[spoiler:Scully to Mulder]] in the episode "Plus One" in their motel room.
90	[[/folder]]
91
92	[[folder:Music]]
93	* John Mayer's "Come Back to Bed," which is a sad twist on the chaste variation. The singer has woken up to find the spot next to him in the bed empty with a tear-stained pillow. He doesn't know what he's done to upset her, but begs her to yell at him the next day because he can't sleep without her.
94	-->''You can be mad in the morning\
95	I'll take back what I said\

106	* ''VideoGame/DukeNukem3D''
107	-->'''Duke:''' My name's Duke Nukem! After a few days of R&R, I'll be ready for more action!\
108	'''Woman:''' Aww, come back to bed, Duke! I'm ready for some action, nowww!
109	* ''VideoGame/GodOfWarI''. "Stay, Kratos. Just a bit longer."
110	* ''[[VideoGame/{{Fahrenheit}} Fahrenheit (AKA Indigo Prophecy)]]'' has Tyler do this to his girlfriend Sam. She's seducing him on their anniversary when the phone rings regarding the murder case he's working on. Annoyingly the game [[ButThouMust won't let you just stay with the hot girl]] and won't continue until you answer the phone and leave for work. Sam is understandably pissed.

116	* In ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', Grace is contacted, via a computer, by an AlternateUniverse's version of her boyfriend Tedd. Grace mentions Elliot, who the alternate Tedd believes he has never met in his universe. This is when the alternate Elliot appears on screen, apparently female in that universe. She is in a nighty and asks Tedd if he doesn't want to make a better use of his father being out of town. [[PeopleFallOffChairs Grace falls off her chair]].
117	* At the end of a stick figure arc in ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'', Torg tries to explain what just happened to Riff. Then the artist draws in a pair of underwear-clad girls telling Torg to come back to bed and he disavows the entire arc as a dream before complying.
118	* An early ''Webcomic/HarkAVagrant'' comic depicted Charles Babbage tirelessly working on his Difference Machine while his wife Georgiana tries to get him into bed. The artist's comments inform the reader that despite what the comic shows, the pair had eight kids together, so Georgiana must've succeeded eventually.
