His stress and desires eventually get to be too much for Guts, and he almost succumbs to his [[EnemyWithin inner Beast]]. Luckily Guts stops himself before things go any further, but not before pinning her on the ground, forcibly kissing her and biting one of her breasts, and the emotional damage inflicted on Casca is done.]]

She doesn't want it, and Musashi carries on well past the point where it's clear she doesn't want it. He catches himself before he actually does it, though.

* ''Literature/ChroniclesOfTheKencyrath'': [[spoiler: Ganth]], half-crazy, almost rapes his seven-year-old daughter [[spoiler: Jame]], before he realizes what he's about to do and runs from her. The memory of this is told in flashbacks in book 4, ''To Ride a Rathorn'', and in the short story collection ''Blood and Ivory: A Tapestry''.

* Marino almost rapes Scarpetta in one of Creator/PatriciaCornwell's later books. Because he's under the influence of some strange drug at the time, Kay forgives him. No one else (including Marino himself) does the same after and several subsequent books bring it up, usually when someone is trying to discredit Marino or imply Kay goes too easy on him.
* In ''Literature/LostVoices'', Luce's CreepyUncle Peter drunkenly pins her to the ground and starts yanking at her jeans. Mistaking her for her dead mother, he says, "[[WrongNameOutburst Alyssa]]?

%% * [[spoiler: Ryo]] in ''VisualNovel/CrescendoJP'' or not, depending on what choice the player makes.

* ''VisualNovel/{{Nicole}}'': As far as [[LoveInterest Love Interests]] go, a variation occurs toward the end of [[spoiler:Jeff]]'s route; in this case, it's not a sudden realization of what he's doing, but rather [[spoiler:that he never intended to do it in the first place. He just wanted to make Nicole hate him by scaring the hell out of her. Not that it makes it much ''better'', but at least the intent was never there -- no matter how she reacts, he'll back down. Hell, the best way to shut him up is to ''dare him to do it'', which gives a +5 boost to the relationship[[note]][[DoNotTryThisAtHome THIS IS NOT RECOMMENDED IN REAL LIFE]][[/note]]. The implication is that as much as he ''wanted'' to scare her off, what he ''needed'' was to hear that she knew him well enough to know that it was all bullshit]]. Still, the scene is genuinely creepy and frightening and ''wrong'' on every level, and it's played that way. Nicole shivers when he first touches her and she realizes what he's doing, but it's from nerves, not any kind of enjoyment or desire. At no point during the scene does she feel anything besides fear [[spoiler:and, once she realizes his true intent, ''severe annoyance'' and anger]].

* ''WebOriginal/ProtectorsOfThePlotContinuum'': PPC exorcisms in rapefics almost always happen just in the nick of time to prevent the rape, for reasons of dramatic tension. The rapist characters tend to react with horror upon realising what the badfic was making them do.

* Many [=PVs=] of the Kurousa-P Music/{{Vocaloid}} song "Cantarella" featured this. Keep in mind that a lot of versions change up the exact characters featured (i.e. Gakupo or Len replacing Kaito as the male lead and Rin replacing Music/HatsuneMiku), but many of them end up like this:
** The original tale has Kaito spike a cup of wine and gets Miku to drink it and pass out. In some versions, he then attempts to rape her but stops when the sight of her brings up their childhood memories together, followed by her waking up and telling him she loves him, waking up and killing him, or never waking up at all due to overdose or poisoning.

* ''LightNovel/{{Shimoneta}}'': In episode 4, Tanukichi begins receiving love letters from a possible stalker. So he and Ayame decide to lure them out by leaving a note on the door saying [[DidntThinkThisThrough it was unlocked and that he reciprocated.]] When [[spoiler: Anna]] sees the note inviting her in, she takes it as a love confession and assumes they wanted [[DoYouWantToCopulate the same thing.]] So she binds Tanukichi, then strips him and herself, but doesn't go further than making out with him[[note]]she didn't know what else to do since her parents never taught her about intercourse[[/note]]. Ayame walks in at that moment, causing [[spoiler: Anna]] to become flustered with embarrassment, gather her clothing, and leave.

* ''Series/TheUmbrellaAcademy'': In [[Recap/TheUmbrellaAcademy2019S03E05KindestCut "Kindest Cut"]], Allison seeks out her sometimes-love-interest Luther for SexForSolace. He turns her down, half because he now has a new love interest who he wants to be monogamous with, and half because [[AmIJustAToyToYou he feels like Allison is just using him]]. Angered by this rejection, Allison uses her CompellingVoice to make Luther stay and want her. As she does the magic, he says, "Allison, please; don't do this." She keeps going. Under the influence of the powers he starts kissing her and it looks like they're about to have sex on the pool table. Allison looks Luther in the face, and he's trembling, implying he's FightingFromTheInside. Then ''she'' says, "Stop." It's an AmbiguousSituation--it could alternatively be read as her realizing what she's doing and feeling bad, or getting overwhelmed by the intensity of the whole thing more generally, or because Luther's magicked fervor is too much and he's being too rough. When Allison says it, for a split-second it looks like Luther ''can't'' stop--like Allison did the spell too well and it can't be halted now. It's a momentary HourglassPlot. Then she yells [[SuddenlyShouting "STOP!"]], the spell is broken, and he jerks away from her. Both leave visibly shaken without another word to each other.
