Rape Is OK When It Is Female on Male
Obviously if you're watching a scene with a woman tied to a bed while a man forces sex on her, the final act of that movie will involve said man getting shot in the face by Bruce Willis. If, on the other hand, it's a man being tied down and forced into sex by a pretty lady, well, you're watching a wacky romantic comedy.

A Sub Trope of Double Standard.

Rape is a special kind of Evil, beyond kicking the dog or any of the other acts of villainy in media. But there seems to be one exception: when the victim is a man and the attacker is a woman. Men are stereotyped as constantly wanting sex and of being stronger in general than women. Therefore, the idea that the man could have either not consented to sex with a woman or been incapable of fighting off a female aggressor if he did refuse sex is simply not taken seriously. Another commonly-held notion that the idea of female-on-male rape challenges is the false idea that since men have erections, they enjoy the sex, and hence is not rape or not as traumatic as any other kind of rape.

The consequence of this line of thought is this trope. A man raped by an attractive woman is considered a lucky man, and a man being raped by an unattractive woman is comedy gold. Because of this, most examples are from comedies or light-hearted stories.

For a trope that suffers a similar attitude, see Hot for Student. Some forms of Gender Rarity Value could be considered a sub-trope. Often involves the Bed Trick, Love Potion or other fantastical means of sex.

Compare The Unfair Sex, Rape Is Okay When It Is Sci Fi, Rape Is Okay When It's Female on Female, Rape Is Funny When It Is Male on Male, Rape as Comedy, Rape Is Okay If It's Divine On Mortal, and All Women Are Lustful.

See also All Abusers are Male, Abuse Is Okay When It Is Female on Male and All Women are Doms, All Men are Subs.

Sadly, people thinking this way is Truth in Television. For instance, some countries don't penalize sexual acts done by females as "rape", and this even extends to Sexual Harassment, too. Since real examples can get complicated, No Real Life Examples, Please.


Examples:

    open/close all folders 

    Advertising 
  • This Chocolate flavored Axe (Lynx in the UK) ad is on the Accidental Nightmare Fuel page for a reason. It's Played for Laughs, sure, and the chocolate guy seems to like it, but can you imagine an ad showing a woman getting literal bites taken out of her, possibly against her will, by strangers on the street ever being passed for broadcast? Thought not.
  • Muscle Milk is supposed to make one more attractive. Ads show men visibly upset talking about how they are being sexually harassed by women, The announcer then tells them that attractive men must submit to unwanted sexual advances.
  • Rape is okay when it's Selma Blair on Rainn Wilson. The actual lyrics of the song are gender natural and it has been performed many times with people of both sexes, and in the original performance ware Wilson’s part is played by Red Skelton.

    Anime and Manga 
  • This trope is the cornerstone of many Hentai mangas. While male rape of females is far more ubiquitous in hentai, it tends to be treated as more heinous than female rape of males including that of young boys, for that matter. Actually, in general, if one of the characters in a Hentai work plays the role of a Cute Shotaro Boy, he will likely get raped by almost any female around, or by several females at the same time, because he's weak and helpless, therefore unable to resist their advances. In comparison to other examples of this trope, though, hentai examples do seem more likely to call attention to potential consequences of female-on-male rape. *
    • In Boy Soprano, Cute Shotaro Boy Akira is taken advantage of sexually by literally just about every girl he meets, including his adoptive mother and sister. It doesn't exactly help that he's a Wholesome Crossdresser who attends an all-girl school. In fact, this even extends to physical abuse, where his sister forces him to participate in her "Bondage club" and his teacher smacks him around because his screaming arouses her. Eventually, a school play is staged, just so that the entire class can take turns having sex with him, you guessed it, explicitly against his will.
    • There's a particular Azumanga Daioh h-doujin known only as Sakaki Rapes (sic) Yoshida. He initially tries to run away from her, but of course, that doesn't work...
    • In Sei So Tsui Dan Sha, Cute Shotaro Boy Ryu is constantly harassed by a Girl Posse secretly harboring a deep crush on him.
    • Rush Hour XXX, where a middle school boy accidentally gets on a women's only car on the train ride home and gets gang banged like you wouldn't believe.
    • In Answer Me My Heart, the main character is a bitter Yandere who is utterly obsessed with a certain boy who frankly couldn't care less about her. It's just that she gets off on him struggling to get her away from him and the sounds he makes when she dominates him... so much so that eventually she accidentally suffocates him during sex.
    • In Kan, a boy caught sneaking into the girls' locker room on a dare is raped by the entire softball team. Repeatedly. His hands were tied behind his back and everything. Later, they kidnapped him, sneaking him into softball camp inside a trunk. They're also all completely in love with him; All of the girls have sex with him mainly in hopes of becoming pregnant so he'll have to be with them alone. Eventually, the softball coach and his own sister get in on the act. Oh, and by the end, he gets expelled after they get caught ravishing him at school. Yes, the fact that he really, really doesn't want, like, any of this to be happening is played completely for comedy.
    • The plot of Secret Plot is about two teachers forcing themselves on students. Especially the PE teacher, who forced a boy with a huge handicap to have sex with her or she'd fail him.
    • Culittle XX, a Guilty Gear h-doujin, is about everyone's favorite Wholesome Crossdresser Bridget getting you-know-what'd by Millia and her Prehensile Hair.
    • On the more light-hearted side, there's Your Smiling Face (by Unagimaru), in which Cute Shotaro Boy (as you might have noticed, this isn't an uncommon occurrence for characters of this type) Hiro's Tall, Dark, and Emotionless childhood friend Sakiko confesses her feelings for him, breast-smothers him, puts the moves on him, and allows him to screw her. Just when Hiro thinks he's done, Sakiko forces herself on top of him for a second wind. It ends happily, with Sakiko finally letting down her stoic facade in front of Hiro.
    • Tsukasa Blog has the eponymous blogger, a total Yandere (complete with crazy eyes) schoolgirl, violently going at it on a teacher she calls "Onii-chan" who may or may not be her actual brother. And shortly before going down on him, she incapacitates him with a tazer.
    • Boys Empire, a 9-part h-manga in which Makoto Tamura is molested by (in order) his sister's friend, his (eventual) girlfriend, his sister, two of his classmates, his teacher, his mom, his best friend (not canon, just in fan art) and his girlfriend's mom. Not only that, but in volumes 8 and 9, he gets his girlfriend, mom, and sister pregnant, and all three of them keep and have his children, even though he's not even in middle school. Said best friend, of the same age as he, also gets his share of action (and pregnancies) under the same rapey circumstances.
    • The h-manga Secret Journey, based loosely on the classic Journey to the West, consists mainly of a well-endowed Cute Shotaro Boy priest encountering voluptuous female demons before subsequently being tied up, stripped naked, and raped by each of them. They each decide to follow him as students, and take every opportunity they can to jump him.
    • In May Not "Miss Pervert" Fall In Love? Chika's manager rapes Tatsuki, Chika's boyfriend and when he asks why she says: "I was curious to have a taste of the dick that Chika's been fucking. Is there anything wrong with that?" Apparently not as Chika was outside the door masturbating and decided not to stop what was happening. Tatsuki still claimed Chika was a good person after this. The manager then says that it wasn't rape because he didn't fight back... even though she drugged him so he couldn't. While he does shout at the manager it never gets mentioned again.
  • Taken Up to Eleven with Kanokon's huge-breasted and foxy Chizuru Minamoto, who has a lusty yet true love toward a Cute Shotaro Boy named Kouta. She has no hesitation to strip herself naked in public and rape him at any possible moment. As if this is not enough, there's a flat-chested female wolf Nozumu, who's as bad as the former. Together, they form a downright weird Love Triangle. In the manga it eventually makes the kid become submissive and a permanent Chivalrous Pervert.
  • Girls Bravo: Constantly attempted by Lisa whenever she's around Yukinari.
  • Deconstructed in Blood+ with Diva's rape of Riku. The perpetrator rapes him before turning him to stone, and she seems to consider the rape as a sort of pre-emptive apology for murdering him. Much of the fandom seems to agree with her.
  • Pucca... loves Garu... he's a pretty boy! Not as extreme since Pucca is 11 years old and Garu is 12 and the series is for kids, meaning she's limited to chasing him around and kissing him against his wishes, but the Double Standard is still obvious.
    • This trope is played with in one episode. Pucca manages to pull the moon closer to Earth with a rope and use its romantic properties to make Garu fall in love with her, turning Garu into a love obsessed fan. However, this turns Pucca into the annoyed receiver, who's unable to do her job or have any time to herself. It seems as though this would probably teach Pucca a lesson about self-control, but instead she just sends the moon back and restores the natural order. Though after this, it seems that the regulars are starting to realize what Pucca is doing is just weird.
  • In the final arc of Ranma ½, Shampoo takes advantage of the fact that Akane is helpless and in her control to force Ranma to sleep with her (and she was planning to kill him afterwards.) Surprisingly, since the series had played the reverse for laughs (involving female Ranma's mishaps) this was played seriously... until the people in the next room started eavesdropping and completely misunderstood what was going on.
    • Also when Ranma is repeatedly almost raped by Kodachi with her paralysis powder. It became a running gag.
  • This is the prevailing theme in the work of mangaka Nitta Jun (who is a woman herself), and in literally every case we're meant to be on the woman's side.
  • In Girls Saurus, Shingo, who is deeply afraid of women after various bad encounters with them, is eventually cornered by a porn movie director who had been looking at his sister for a part. In order to save his sister, Shingo would have to star in a movie where he gets raped by many women. While the idea is treated with horror and revulsion by him at first, it's mostly Played for Laughs, and when he reluctantly accepts, his friends, all of them girls, all volunteer to do the scene with him.
    • Practically everywhere he goes, Shingo gets jumped by extremely forward girls. The extreme case has to be when he accidentally compliments his near-retirement literature teacher for being "his ideal woman" (as she's so shriveled up that she's got no sexuality to speak of). The next day, it turns out that she took his words to heart and had a second sexual awakening, dropping decades off her physical age and becoming gorgeous. And she's intent on rewarding him for it by having him be her first, and threatening with suicide (and then double suicide) when he refuses. She changes her mind when the rest of the male students all assure her they desire her, regardless of how old she really is. Also, Shingo's close male friends have no understanding whatsoever of his distress over all the female attention he gets.
  • Moonlight Lady features this: when Suzuna, Sayaka, and Chikako are raped, it's played for drama. When the show's resident Cute Shotaro Boy, Io, is raped by Tomomi, it's much more light-hearted. The situation is compounded by Io's dubious sexuality.
  • Kurogane Pukapuka Tai's seemingly sole heterosexual woman, gunnery officer Obama Mifuyu, seems to have this attitude to "seduction", and a taste verging on Shotacon besides.
  • In Onihime VS, the closest thing to an actual love interest the main character has is the bully who sexually assaults him on a daily basis, culminating in attempting straight-up rape after cornering him in the athletic supply closet. We're supposed to be rooting for her to end up with him, though to be fair, the other girls competing to win his heart are literally competing for his heart, the blood pumping organ in his chest, so that they can eat it.
  • This trope occurs in the manga Hen where the female main character, Chizuru rapes a guy when he's unconscious. Since she's the main character, the tone of the story indicates that we're still supposed to root for her. Chizuru has attempted rapes against her in the plot although those rapists aren't portrayed sympathetically at all.
  • Goshuushou-sama Ninomiya-kun's main character, Shungo Ninomiya, is more or less completely uninterested in girls, and unwilling to fight them off, so the girls in his class love to tease him, including kidnapping and tying him down so he can't get away. While not rape, it's pretty darned close — especially if you consider the gender swapped alternate — and also sets up the later subversion, that is...
    • Crosses the line when Reika, the girl whom the main character is oblivious about, snaps, causing her alternate, more assertive and less moral personality to take command, who promptly lures Shungo to a secluded spot, wherein she ties him down and attempts to rape him for real.
  • Done in the anime Speed Grapher, where the hero Saiga is run over by Inspector Ginza. This leaves Saiga unconscious, allowing Ginza to take him to her apartment and invoke this trope. They reveal throughout the series that Ginza has a one-sided, desperate love in Saiga. He just considers her a friend at best, in both person and profession. That said, she is a little bit messed up, and not just because of this incident. We're talking about a woman who verbally claims "Self Defense" when she shoots at a criminal first before they can even pull out a gun to fire back.
  • The original manga of Ah! My Goddess actually introduces Urd with this sentiment. Upon her arrival, she is more than a little baffled at Keiichi and Belldandy's lack of... physical drive. Her attempts to "remedy" this culminate in trying to make Keiichi have sex with her through a combination of straightforward seduction, lies, and psychically pressuring his mind to give in. While Keiichi's devotion to Belldandy pulls him through, the fact that she lied to get him into bed is played up over the fact that she just tried to rape him, which is portrayed as little more than naughty and mischievous.
    • Peorth is portrayed pretty much like this in the anime. She is an Earth Goddess, so fulfilling earthly desires is part of her job. (Belldandy, Urd, and Skuld are all Heaven Goddesses.) In fact, she applies the exact same tricks and tactics mentioned above.
  • Hinted at in Angel Sanctuary as at least part of the reason Raphael's reputation was so utterly destroyed after his then-subordinate Belial raped him while in his own office. Public opinion was that he was nothing more than a lech that had wanted or even been a willing participant. Rather than denying it, he instead refashions himself into the very Kavorka Man people perceived him as.
  • While not rape in sexual terms, this trope is certainly invoked in the short fantasy manga Monster Collection, featuring a female sorceress, a male thief, and a female lamia. The lamia needs human blood, and takes a liking to the taste of the young thief's blood. Of course, he doesn't like being a human drink box, so the lamia decides to just take it by force. One scene, after she has attacked him, has her smoking with a nasty grin while the boy weeps in the corner.
  • Tenchi Forever. Tenchi is brainwashed by Haruna, a woman from Yosho's past, and made to live with her as her lover. The fact that this is rape is ignored by the story.
  • In Tenchi GXP, episode 26 has a scene where four women rape the protagonist. Given that he is fifteen while they are adults, this could be argued to be a case in which gang-rape and child molestation are portrayed as funny so long as the rapists are attractive women and the victim is giggling throughout the whole thing.
  • Not actually rape, but when Ayane paralyzes Ikuto with poison and kisses him in Nagasarete Airantou, HE "mans up" and takes responsibility for "offending" her. And he actually seems to think that it was his fault...
  • There is a manga and OVA called Aki Sora where the main character gets raped at the beginning by his older sister while he is in the shower, soon after that they become the official couple and sleep together regularly. After that he is raped by his Innocent Fanservice Girl neighbor who later takes him to A Party Also Known as an Orgy where he is raped by several women. Finely his Psycho Lesbian Half-Identical Twins sister who has a serious case of penis envy, rapes him while threatening to cut off his with scissors and fantasying she is using it to have sex with her friend. The situation with all three of the above mentioned girls is treated as Rape Is Love and he eventually has consensual sexual relationships with all three of them.
  • In one of Yamada's many ecchi imagine spots on B Gata H Kei, she can be seen holding her boyfriend Kosuda down and removing his shirt, while he is sporting a clearly frightened expression.
    Kosuda: Yamada, I...
    Yamada: Don't be such a baby!
    • Notably this only happens where Yamada's concerned, as she can always easily rationalize her self-serving and perverted tendencies, but whenever she confides any of these thoughts with Miharu, the latter is disgusted.
  • Yuria 100 Shiki: Whenever Yuria's actions toward Shunsuke accidentally turn too sexual—at least once a chapter—Shunsuke is quick to reprimand her with one of his many powerful wrestling moves. He does this because he's about to be raped and he has no other way of getting her to stop. Yuria has some strange programming. Why is this example here? Because it was originally on the Domestic Abuse page, due to him fighting her off to prevent her from raping him, and apparently no one noticed the Double Standard.
  • In Ooku, the Shogun Yoshimune acquires a habit of dragging random members of her harem into bushes or closets whenever she feels like it. Hey, it's good to be the Shogun. Of course how much worse this is than her more "dignified" predecessors assembling the prettier members of said harem and ordering one into her bedchamber is a matter of debate.
  • In Gakuen Ouji it's the fate of every boy who enters the school. Except it's not by just one girl, it's the entire female portion of the student body (which vastly outnumbers the male). For the most part the show subverts this trope as it shows just how horrifying rape is for a male, though all of the characters play the opinion that the rape is okay in the actual show and due to Angst? What Angst?, the subversion fails slightly.
    • Azusa's first sight of the horrors of his school is when he hears someone scream "Somebody please help me!!", only to run and find a boy practically naked surrounded by girls. They run off, he looks down to see the boy in tears, his reaction? "What did you do to get harassed by those girls?". As soon as he looks up he sees all the girls staring at him. Hmmm... wonder who's next? Later on, he sees some girls passing notes in class, whcih is perfectly normal, but when he manages to get hold of the note he finds that they're discussing how long it will take to break him.
  • Discipline: Record of a Crusade is pretty much built around this trope. The guy can't even have a slightly perverted dream without being coerced into sex.
  • Averted in Kuragehime: When Inari slips Shu some roofies and pretends to date-rape him, he is not at all okay with it. It even gets lampshaded when he stumbles home in a daze, and his younger brother comments that "You look like some soap-opera heroine who just got molested", and he realizes that is what happened to him.
  • Averted in the original Bible Black Hentai anime when Taki Minase is gravely wounded by Rika Shiraki who then proceeds to rape him as he is bleeding to death. This was pretty clearly not intended to be a good thing.
  • In the series kiss×sis, twin sisters Ako and Riko constantly throw themselves at their stepbrother, constantly doing erotic things until they make it so he can not hold himself back.
  • Princess Lucia repeatedly tries to rape Kouta due to the fact that if she has a child with him he will be able to destroy the world. Did I mention Lucia is a devil?
  • Lampshaded in Mahou Sensei Negima! when Evangeline tells Chachamaru "You can just force yourself on him. Don't be so dull. Just jump him" after she finds Chachamaru "recharging her mana" while saying Negi's name.
  • Ultimately averted in Mawaru-Penguindrum. Ringo trying to hump Shouma while in a feverish pitch is treated as Rape as Comedy, but later her Attempted Rape of Tabuki-sensei in an attempt to conceive and carry his child is NOT Played for Laughs. This is to show how utterly serious Ringo's emotional and mental issues are, since she's obsessed with becoming Tabuki's wife/babymama in a desperate attempt to mend her family issues via living the life that her deceased older sister Momoka (Tabuki's old girlfriend) would've carried had she not died before Ringo's birth, which caused the girls's parents to get divorced.
  • Due to his tastes, Kohta of My Balls would agree.

    Comic Books 
  • Dick Grayson, the first Robin, Nightwing and now Batman seems especially prone to this:
    • In an issue of Teen Titans, Mirage shape shifts into the form of Starfire and sleeps with Nightwing, who doesn't realize she isn't his girlfriend until after the fact. This is used as a device to put stress on his relationship with Starfire, but the team largely under-reacts to Mirage's actions, and even mock him after they learn about it.
    • Raven subconsciously used her empathic powers to to have non-consensual psychic sex with Nightwing in a series of ultra-vivid shared dreams meant to express what she mistakenly thought to be mutual love (she had just been freed from her father's demonic influence and allowed to experience emotions for the first time). Averted because Raven was horrified to learn her powers were making Nightwing return her affections even if she wasn't aware of it at the time.
    • Nightwing issues 93-100 are often accused of this due to the fact that Tarantula and Nightwing appear to run away together after Tarantula rapes Nightwing. These issues were actually meant to depict Nightwing as being too deeply traumatized to assert himself as Tarantula bullies him from motel room to motel room, not minding that her "querido" is nearly catatonic. Alas, some fans thought this was supposed to represent a consensual romantic relationship, so apparently the point could have been more clear.
  • This also happened quite a few times in Starman.
    • Jack Knight was raped off panel by Nash a.k.a. The Mist. This results in a son, whom Jack learns about through a letter which reveals not only the rape but her plans to raise the son as a supervillain. Despite this, Jack seems less upset about being raped than he is about the idea of not knowing where is son is.
    • Another Starman, Mikaal Tomas, was kept as a sex slave for several years.
  • In a rather infamous example, Green Arrow was raped by the assassin Shado while badly injured and under medication. Other writers treated this as an affair, which resulted in Arrow - who was steadfastly loyal to Black Canary at the time of the incident - gaining a reputation as sleeping around constantly behind the back of the long-suffering Canary. And Shado? Nobody so much as bats an eyelash at her actions.
    • One little tidbit that doesn't get discussed much is that Shado had a son as a result of the rape and she purposely sought to keep Green Arrow ignorant that her son was his. Black Canary eventually put two and two together, confronted Shado over what happened... and then never got around to telling Green Arrow that he had a son or that he had been raped.
    • When she was discussing marrying him with Oracle, Oracle brought up Shado, and she angrily rejects the notion that he was to blame.
  • A short story from Flinch #14 features a man being constantly assailed throughout the day by women who want to have sex with him. While he enjoys it at first, he begins to be a bit more resistant to their advances as the day goes on and it goes from consensual to obvious rape. It turns out that his friend had signed him up for a Candid Camera show which makes people's wishes come true for a day, with his wish being that the world was like a porn movie. The man eventually seems to go catatonic from the relentless sexual assault by both the actresses and the female "fans" of the show. The final panel shows the doctor explaining to the man's friend that they are trying to keep him away from the public, but... "But?" "But." As behind them the nurse lifts her skirt and climbs into the catatonic man's lap. And yes, the entire thing is played for laughs. "Era una joda para Videomatch"?
  • Arguably averted in L.E.G.I.O.N., where Vril Dox is assaulted, raped, and murdered by his teammate Stealth; even after Vril is brought Back from the Dead via cloning, it's never treated as funny or erotic. On the other hand, because Stealth was driven to it by her Bizarre Alien Biology, the consequences are sort of skated over—Stealth remains on the team and shows no great remorse, and much later she and Vril hook up.
  • Possibly the first DC man (sort of) to be to have this happen to him was Swamp Thing. He was raped by an alien cyborg plant that though he was good looking and would make a good mate. It is very, very not OK.
  • Not even The Incredible Hulk is immune to this. In Peter David's Future Imperfect story, Hulk's Evil Future Self's best non-powered servant does this to a paralyzed present-day Hulk (this is portrayed as very not-okay, though, and Hulk eventually breaks down over it in his therapist's office).
  • Another DC example (whew!) Bruce Wayne, upon finding out from Talia al Ghul that they have a son, notes to her that she drugged him during a ceremony wherein Ra's himself united Batman with Talia, during a short period where Bats and the Demon's Head had to work together. Bruce was fairly lucid when he slept with her (in Batman: Son of the Demon) and doesn't use the word "rape" or even "assault", but it's clear he didn't find it amusing after the fact but still takes the son (Damian Wayne) who is now the fifth Robin. Of course, this example is derived from the work of one writer (Mike W. Barr) being added upon by another (Grant Morrison), with a 19 year gap.
  • DC also had a case of reverse Dude, She's Like, In a Coma! between two of the founding members of the Legion of Super-Heroes. Saturn Girl tried to use her telepathic powers to bring Cosmic Boy out of a coma. It appeared that she'd succeeded, but instead she was subconsciously animating and controlling his comatose body; during this period they began dating, and Cos woke up at their wedding. This admittedly was not treated as "okay" so much as it was forgiven because Saturn Girl did it subconsciously, not on purpose.
  • Horatio from Nexus was also has also drugged and raped, which resulted in the birth of his twin daughters. He later moved in with the girls and their rapist mother, proving that Rape Is Love.
  • In Wildstorm's Texas Chainsaw Massacre six-issue miniseries Henrietta and the Tea Lady (relatives of Leatherface) knock out an FBI agent and take him back to their trailer, where they drug him and rape him in an attempt to impregnate themselves. Made all the more disturbing by the fact that the rape sequence is done from the agent's drug-addled point of view.
  • Like her mythological counterpart, Marvel's Hippolyta, the evil queen of the Amazons, is a serial rapist and even one ups her legendary self by (with some help from Pluto) making Hercules (the only man she slept with willingly) her sex slave.
  • The Mighty Thor was mentally controlled and raped by his own teammate, Moondragon, who was going through one of her A God Am I moments. Eventually averted when he was able to get her to be treated like a Norse god, punished by Odin.
    • That was not the only time the god of thunder was raped. Previously, the Enchantress had used her magic to make him her sex slave.
    • Raping Thor must be somewhat of a family tradition, as the Enchantress's sister Lorelei also used magic to rape the thunder god.
  • Played with in Fables when Snow White and Bigby are both enchanted and wake up in a tent in the woods, discovering later that they slept together. While it's uncertain if it's rape (as both of them were under a spell and couldn't remember the action), Bigby is rather offended that Snow blames him and points out that for all they know, she seduced him. Though really, Snow was more angry that Bigby knew they slept together because of his wolf senses but chose to lie about it, with her only finding out after she discovered she was pregnant. In reality, if anyone is guilty of rape here, it's the person who cast the spell, Bluebeard, since he took away their abilities to consent, even if he didn't specifically instruct them to have sex.
  • Foggy Nelson, the law partner and friend of Matt Murdock, AKA Daredevil, was drugged and raped by a client of theirs named Lydia Mckenzie, who was secretly working for Mysterio. She then committed suicide by jumping out the window and made it appear that Nelson had pushed her. As a result, Foggy's girlfriend, Liz Allen (the original love interest of Spider-Man and widow of Green Goblin Harry Osborn), leaves him for cheating on her. He was also fired from his job because of the negative publicity it might bring the firm by his new law partner who is also his, until recently, Missing Mom.
  • In an issue of Thunderbolts, sex maniac Skein rapes SHIELD Super Agent Silicon, and it's played entirely for comedy.
  • Originally averted in an issue of West Coast Avengers. When a returned to evil Scarlet Witch decides to ramp up her evil by stripping Wonder Man against his protests and forces his similarly-held-immobile teammates and her former mentor to listen as she rapes him, it's very much not treated as okay or blown off by those present. Wasp in particular worries about Wonder Man's psyche afterward. However, later issues seem to have forgotten the incident entirely, which pushes it into this trope.
  • Tarot: Witch of the Black Rose: Jon is raped and otherwise molested on a regular basis.... it's played for laughs. Imagine if Jon was Jane instead...
  • Alpha Flight 41 introduced the Purple Girl (now known as Persuasion) the daughter of the Purple Man. The first intentional use of the 13 year old’s power is hypnotizing Northstar (who was then still in the closet) who she had Precocious Crush on and force him to love and serve her which included as she put it "playing Adam and Eve". After her hold on him was broken he actually used the R word to describe the experience to his team. However Vindicater seemed dismissive of this and she actually offered Purple Girl membership in the team at the end of the issue. This case especially sticks out because her father has done the same thing to women, yet he's considered (rightfully) a Complete Monster Because of it.
  • In The Savage Dragon, the main character wakes up one night to find a female character named Horridus having oral sex with him. Horridus was a young lizard woman who had severe social problems and had decided to become Dragon's girlfriend. The scene is played for laughs.
  • Averted in Tom Strong, where the titular character is raped while unconscious, and it's so very not treated as okay by anyone but the woman responsible. Ingrid Weiss, the rapist, later has a son from this, whom she raises to be a Nazi like herself, and not only continues to come on to Tom afterward, but does so while insulting his wife and daughter, who are black. Readers cheered when Dahlua gave her the ass-kicking she so richly deserved.
  • The X-Men's first encounter with the Morlocks was when their leader, Callisto, abducted Angel and forced him to marry her because she thought he was pretty. How far she went is never made clear, but seeing how he was tied to her bed wearing nothing but his underwear, it definitely appears that she raped him. In the story itself it is not made light of at all and reminds Storm of how she was nearly raped when she was twelve. She puts a knife through Callisto's heart the following issue. That Callisto later became an ally of the X-Men is a long story (involving, for instance, the massacre of the Morlocks), and it is of course not the first time that someone who hurt one of their own eventually became an ally (vide e. g. the Changeling, Rogue, Magneto, and Gambit).
    • Surprisingly this storyline was used in the '90s Saturday Morning cartoon with Cyclops being substituted for Angel. Even though it was not as explicit and Cyclops remained clothed the whole time, the intent to rape him was still there as she said the reason that she abducted him was because she needed a companion that would provide her an heir. Note that she did this while he was on a date with Jean, who she was planning on holding onto to make him stay via hypnotizing and/or brainwashing her.
  • Sunspot was kept as a Sex Slave in an alternate universe that was ruled by a person known as The Apocalypse; however it is not the one that you are thinking of: this Apocalypse was actually Spiral, Mojo’s dimension traveling assistant and a former member of freedom force. Luckily he was eventually saved by Shatterstar, who Spiral had sent into that dimension to kill.
  • Captain Britain has been raped by female villains at least three times. None of the encounters were treated as "okay", but they are brushed off as more an occupational hazard than a violation, and were never brought up much afterward:
    • Once, in his own series, he's captured by an elderly female crime lord who called herself Vixen and is next seen suspended naked in a device clearly intended to facilitate her using him for sex (the only thing keeping the reader from seeing his exposed crotch is the seat situated in front of it facing him). It's dismissed it as a dishonorable way to treat a Worthy Opponent, but no mainstream comic would dare depict a female heroine in a similar state back in the heyday of the Comics Code Authority (they might dare today, but it would be treated as a major, possibly life-altering trauma, and the writers would be roundly castigated as crossing a line in a cheap attempt to be edgy.
    • In his own series again, when his inter-dimensional counterpart Kaptain Briton switched places with Brian and he ended up in villainess Sat-Yr-9's chamber, Sat-Yr-9 gave him a sedative to knock him out, after which he awoke naked and in bed with her gone. The scene is juxtaposed with Kaptain Briton's extremely nightmarish Attempted Rape of his AU-sister, Betsy (Psylocke), who was forced to kill him thinking she was being assaulted by her own brother, played as deadly serious and traumatic as one would expect.
    • The other time was an issue of Excalibur - the team is captured by Sat-Yr-9, who hands all of them over to another villain except for Cap, whom she keeps as a mind-controlled sex slave. She makes him walk around in a Chippendale's dancer-inspired version of what her henchmen wear, and he's seen passed out naked in her bed. It's treated as significantly less severe a fate than whatever was happening to the other members of the team, and the possibility that it could have any greater psychological effect on Brian than any other random defeat by a villain isn't even paid lip service.
  • A shape-shifting villain slept with Namor, while in the guise of Namor's longtime crush, Susan Richards. Probably averted because later on, Namor was so pissed off that he said "there's a word for what she did to me" and nearly beat the villain to death.
  • Once, Deadpool tried to convert the Daredevil villain Typhoid Mary to be good. At one point, she disguised herself as Siryn, whom he loved back then, and slept with him, only to reveal herself afterwards and mock his gullibility. Deadpool was distraught after the ordeal and Mary is presented as a villain, but the incident is rarely mentioned as rape, and whenever Typhoid Mary and Deadpool's relationship is referred to, it's referred to as consensual.
  • In a rather bizarre story called Spider-Man Disassembled the web-slinger is given a Face Full of Alien Wing-Wong by a spideresque villainess calling herself the Queen that wanted a mate. This resulted in Spider-Man being transformed into a giant spider and that gave birth to a fully grown Peter Parker and then died, coming back with organic webbing and other spider-powers. This is never mentioned again and thanks to One More Day no longer has to be.
  • Some felt that Catwoman #1 (of the 2011 DC Relaunch) featured an example of this, given that during Catwoman and Batman's encounter he seems very reluctant at first. In the words of Linkara, "Because it's not rape if he consents eventually, right?"

    Fan Fiction 
  • The Harry Potter fanfic A Very Alternate Yule Ball features this. The eponymous Yule Ball is, indeed, considerably altered by Ron insinuating that Hermione is a slut (instead of just acting like a clueless 14-year-old). Hermione responds by challenging him to a duel, enlargening his cock with magic, and magically forcing him to rape himself in front of the entire school. The author claims that this was meant to be seen as Disproportionate Retribution, but this is somewhat undermined by the fact that Flitwick rewards her for her inventiveness.
  • Averted as hard as it should be in AKK's Galaxy Rangers fic The Lie. All of the fandom admitted this was a possibility when the Queen captured Zachary in "Psychocrypt", and one of the show's writers didn't bother denying it (in fact, admitted the writing staff had a few off-color speculations of their own). AKK was the only one who actually wrote it. Making the Squick factor even higher is Gooseman figures out exactly what happened and gives his captain tips on how to keep it a secret, which more than implies that the young Supertrooper went through it himself.
  • Another fic that plays it for all the Squick it deserves is Athena Prime's "Beauty is the Beast" for the second Knights of the Old Republic game. Her Dark Side Female Exile uses a combination of Jedi Mind Trick and latent Hot For Teacher to literally seduce Mical to the Dark Side. He's horrified that he can't seem to resist and blames himself for what happened.
  • A third example from Fan Fic, this one from the DC Nation universe, Lampshades the example of Mirage raping Nightwing as Not Cool. Donna Troy makes it VERY clear to Mirage that if Mirage dares to pull a stunt like that again, that she would kill Mirage and not lose a wink of sleep over it[[hottip*:Overall, DC Nation has avoided addressing Mirage as a character at all because we really aren't sure how you can rape Nightwing in Donna Troy's house while Starfire is his girlfriend and live to tell the tale, much less stay on the Titan roster. Because they're an RPG a Mirage player would have to sit down with the Dick, Donna and Kory players and figure out how she's still managing to draw breath. We aren't sure anyone is brave enough for that.]].
  • Suzumiya Haruhi: In a fan-made gender bender version of the light novels, Haruki threatened the Computer Club President with blackmail. Kyonko and Mitsuuru being the accessories for blackmail. Double Subversion: Mitsuuru was not raped.
    Haruki: I'll just say the whole club gang-raped him!
    Computer Club President: T-that's stupid! Girls can't rape guys!
    Haruki: Really now? [smiles] Let me tell you a story. A story of a poor, innocent upperclassman, who had been passing through this hallway, who happened upon a group of sick, depraved females. These women, they decided to entice him into their den of evil with candy, and other such sweets. But lo! When he entered, he was set upon, by these cruel women, who then proceeded to touch him in all sorts of uncomfortable places! But I, Supremely Manly Commander of the SOS Brigade, arrived in the nick of time, and managed to obtain evidence as to their crimes before rescuing the hapless upperclassman! Behold, for I am now a Hero! [Cue Evil Laugh]
  • This trope was invoked in-character in the Oneiroi Series when Deirdre rapes her father, Redcloak. Word Of God says that the victim blames himself because he had an erection, orgasmed, and it felt good. The fact that he loves her so much contributed, too. He couldn't blame her for anything. But the way it's portrayed is that it was the farthest thing from okay.
  • "Conversation Is For Heterosexuals", a Kingdom Hearts AU fanfic, invokes this and crosses it over with Rape Is Funny When It Is Male on Male. In it, a bored Larxene plays matchmaker with Axel, Roxas, Marluxia, Vexen, Demyx, and Zexion. She does this by drugging them, stripping them naked, forcing them into penetrative positions, and locking them in small boxes. When the pairs wake up, she explains that she'll only let them out if they have sex and reach climax, a proposition they all eventually play along with. Not only does she receive no ramifications from this, but the story boasts rave reviews from readers who consider Larxene the hero.
  • A number of Bellatrix/Harry pairings in Harry Potter fiction involve her using a potion or some other spell to have her way with Harry, particularly in the Family Issue fic where she uses the body-bind curse to impregnate herself by him. Harry enjoys himself the whole time, thinking its just a really hot lucid dream and when the curse wears off, he flips her over and returns the favor.
  • The Excalibur fic The Last Temptation of Meggan Braddock averts this hard: Captain Britain's wife, Meggan while possessed by Malice decides to surprise Brian with a cruel game of seduction in which she uses her greater strength to force alcohol down his throat in various ways, making him more pliant and less able to fight her off as she forces herself on him before killing him in an act of cruelty.
  • Averted in Star Trek fan fiction series Sigils and Unions: Catacombs of Oralius, where an Alternate Universe good twin of Dukat is drugged and raped by an evil version of Tora Naprem. The psychological effects of this act on AU Dukat's personality are obvious, including clear evidence of post-traumatic stress disorder—the act is not funny or enjoyable in any way. In fact, the forced orgasm is a particular horror to AU Dukat. However, the trauma does not diminish AU Dukat as a character. (A number of other stereotypes about male heroes are subverted as well.)
  • Subverted in the Sherlock fic, Searching For Fine where a girl brought over by Sebastian Wilkes attempts to get it on with a college-age Sherlock, who is not remotely interested. Thinking he's just inexperienced, Sebastian and his hook up attempt to "help out" by trying to take off Sherlock's clothes. Sherlock ends up punching his would-be hook up girl in the face and running like hell. Years later, Sebastian mentions the event in passing to John, thinking it of no importance. John promptly punches Sebastian in the face and calls him out for trying to get someone to rape his friend. It is not played for laughs.
  • Averted in Susan Foster's Sentinel series, the GDP stories. Blair's abuse at the hands of Alex Barnes isn't treated as any less horrifying than it was; he's left with a great deal of emotional (and physical) scarring.
  • In Naruto Veangance Revelaitons, this seems to be played straight at first, as the catgirls' raping Madara after being freed from his brainwashing is portrayed as righteous revenge, but then the author notes that women can't rape men, and has the catgirls beat him up with their tails.
  • Sorta invoked in one of Cori Falls's Rocketshipping fics. While James isn't raped, he refuses to have sex with Jessie because he has changed his mind about giving her a "night of romance". Jessie starts whining and bitching at him, then tries to browbeat and guilt-trip him into sexing her up, without giving a shit about his feelings and well-being. Meowth then comes in... and takes Jessie's side, harshly berating and trying to humiliate James for "not wanting to have sex with the most beautiful woman in the world." In few words, Cori assumes that men always want sex and never are too tired/not in mood for it/able to change their mind/etc., and it's fine for their female partners to believe a lack of male sexual desire is a personal offense to them. What...?.
  • Not the fics themselves, but in the mature stories on this page of Pokémon fanfiction, all but (potentially) the last one feature something that could be rape. In all likelihood, the third story is considered "far lighter" than the first two (and written off as It's Not Rape If You Enjoyed It) simply because it's Cynthia, not Cyrus, who's the one initiating sex.
  • This has even showed up in My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic fan fiction, with at least one story of Big Mac wandering into Ponyville, finding all the other stallions gone, and then learning to his horror that the reason is because all the mares went into heat and are maddened with lust. Poor Mac dodges Twilight, Fluttershy, and Rarity until he is finally rescued by Princess Luna... who ties him down to her bed with a grin.

    Film 
  • Wedding Crashers, as noted in the page quote. She literally ties him up while he's asleep and when he wakes up tapes his mouth shut to stop his protests, and the next day he calls it a "midnight rape". Yet he falls in love with her and marries her by the end of the movie, and this is a comedy. They would never, never dare film this with the genders reversed.
  • The trope has been the plot for far too many porn films to dwell upon.
  • Baise-moi averts this (or, depending on your interpretation of the movie, subverts it, as some people went to see it with high expectations for the sex scenes).
  • In the M*A*S*H film, there's an implied rape as a character is given a sleeping pill disguised as an assisted-suicide drug, and a female character has sex with him— albeit to prevent him from committing suicide for real. In any case, it's played for dark humor.
  • Averted in the black comedy Thursday. The main character is tied to a chair and raped by a female associate of his criminal friend, while she taunts him about betraying his wife. To top it off, she says she'll kill him once it's over but it won't be over until he completely submits to her by having an orgasm. He withholds, so she takes her time by having multiple orgasms. Another party eventually breaks it up with a bullet to her head from a Hitman that believes this trope, but the rape is portrayed as being emotionally distressing for the protagonist.
  • It doesn't actually happen, but there are hints of it in Moulin Rouge!. It's more like clothed rape, and is more the result of a mistaken identity than any intentional sexual assault, but the man's reactions are still Played for Laughs.
  • Done painfully straight in the "comedy" Norbit, where Norbit is constantly physically, emotionally, and sexually assaulted by the over-sized "female" lead, due to him being trapped in a relationship with this woman merely because he is too weak willed to stand up for himself. If the genders were reversed, this wouldn't be the least bit funny. Although the movie wasn't funny even with the genders as they are now.
  • This trope is carried out in the Clint Eastwood film The Rookie as a punishment to the tied up relentless tough cop by his captor woman. His sole reaction was insisting "she did not sit on my face" after his partner ridiculed him about it.
  • In 40 Days and 40 Nights the protagonist vows not to have sex or masturbate during Lent. During said period, he meets and falls in love with a girl. Just to be sure, he spends the last night of Lent chained to his bed, falls asleep and awakens being raped by his EX-girlfriend. His girlfriend walks in and quite naturally assumes he's being lying to her the whole time. To top it off he later has to apologize to his girlfriend for this, and the ex both wins a bet and gets off scot-free. The protagonist's best friend even says, "This doesn't seem like one of those 'truth shall set you free' situations", when, actually, it seems like precisely that type of situation. Woo, boy were people pissed.
  • Porky's daughter attempts to jump Meat in Porky's Revenge, and is implied to have been quite successful at it. Meat even says that she practically raped him, as she refused to give him a ride until he told her why they called him "Meat".
  • In Police Academy, the busty Sgt. Callahan forces herself on womaniser George Martin, leading, of course, to him eventually falling in love with her. Justified story-wise, at least, as "turnabout is fair play."
  • In Reefer Madness, either on stage or the Showtime adaptation, a male character tries to use marijuana to seduce a pretty young ingenue. Things go drastically, hilariously, sadomasochistically wrong for him. The audience doesn't really have much sympathy for him, even as he cries out, "Help, this crazy tomato is raping me!" Definitely a case of Laser-Guided Karma, but, presumably, would have been less acceptable had the genders been reversed.
  • Averted in Cthulhu (2007) where the gay protagonist turns down the offer of an attractive woman (Tori Spelling) to impregnate her, only to be drugged and raped anyway. He appears to have little reaction to this... but when he meets the woman again he's noticeably furious.
  • In the Jim Carrey film Yes Man, the protagonist promises to say yes to everything. He is propositioned by an old woman who lives in his building, and when he tries to say no, he is karmically punished. Think for a second about how this would be treated if the protagonist was a woman.
  • Obsessed with having another, better child, Mrs. Lenz in the Black Christmas remake, after her lover passes out during a bout of drunken sex, goes up to the attic where she keeps her deformed son Billy, and rapes him, successfully giving birth to a daughter nine months later. Suffice it to say, this contributed greatly to Billy's already steady descent into insanity.
  • This trope is played for laughs in Hamburger The Movie. A woman pulls a machine gun on the main character while wearing nothing but a pair of panties. She forces him on the bed and demands to have sex with him. He gets out of the situation by pretending to be a homosexual, making her leave. Oddly enough, neither character mentions this throughout the rest of the film.
    • It also appears earlier in the film: the character in question keeps getting into trouble for having sex so often and explains to a counselor that women keep throwing themselves at him. The counselor doubts his story... as she's taking off her clothes and throwing herself at him.
  • Averted in the Ed Wood written film The Violent Years. A female delinquent rapes a young gentleman and she becomes a wanted criminal. She ends up getting pregnant as a result of her actions and dies during childbirth.
    Crow: Rape victim says 'Thank you! Thank you!
  • Heavily averted in the movie Obsessed with Beyonce Knowles, Ali Larter, and Idris Elba. Ali Larter's character drugs Idris Elba's without his knowledge and creeps into his hotel room while he's dazed from the drugs. It's implied that she does indeed rape him while he lay there powerless. And it is probably the scariest and most disturbing part of the entire film.
  • Disclosure with Michael Douglas and Demi Moore is a detailed examination of this trope. It's a film based on a Michael Crichton book about a man sexually harassed by his female boss, and the MAJOR uphill battle he has to perform to convince everyone that he wasn't the aggressor.
  • Averted in Single White Female where a man has sex with a woman he thought was his girlfriend (it was dark, she had an identical haircut/color, and she was *ahem* not looking him in the eyes anyway). This scene is played straight, showing the man to be justifiably upset.
  • Played for laughs in Dr. Alien. A teenage boy is implanted (without his knowledge, initially) with an alien organ meant to stimulate females with sonics, resulting in him getting assaulted by a girl he was taking to a movie, the girlfriend of a bully, and a locker room full of women (and their coach).
  • Played With in The Hangover. Yes, Stu was perfectly happy to marry an escort girl, but there was still the fact that he was blacked out and under the influence of roofies when he did so. But the movie does not treat this as a completely okay thing - he's quite freaked out when he turns sober; and the girl was also unaware that he had been on drugs when he married her, and is fairly serious about the matter when she finds out about it; apologizing and admitting that she understands Stu for leaving her(at least temporarily).
  • In Get Him to the Greek Aaron Green, played by Jonah Hill, is at a party and goes into a room with a woman. After he protests vocally against sexual entanglements of sorts with the woman, she ignores it and does so anyway. It's especially bad in that afterwards, he staggers back to Aldous Snow, played by Russell Brand, clearly traumatised and terrified, stammers out "I think I've just been raped", and Aldous gives him a Jeffery and tells him he'll be fine in a minute. It's in character for the totally emotionally numb Aldous, but the movie itself seems to care about as much as he does.
  • Ricochet averts this when Earl Talbot Blake kidnaps and drugs the ex-cop who arrested him, then hires an STD-infected prostitute to rape him. Styles insists he didn't enjoy it but no one believes him because there's no evidence of the kidnapping and Blake releases a video of the rape to the media with Styles' voice dubbed over to make him sound like he hired the woman himself.
  • Robin Hood: Men in Tights Latrine gets the Sheriff at the end. In this case it may simply be Karma, as the only thing between him and Maid Marian's rape was a Chastity Belt, and what was essentially attempted rape of Marion (the marriage was coerced, and the Sheriff was trying to remover her chastity belt with a jackhammer) was played for laughs the same (although, more sympathy for Marion, as she was innocent). That both male on female and female on male were treated about the same.
  • Swordfish has Gabriel force Hollywood Hacker Stan at gunpoint to comply with the parameters of a Secret Test of Character: as a hot female escort gives him the oral part of the exam, he has to hack into the DoD mainframe in 60 seconds or die. Stan is quite upset (about being fooled by the Dragon's empty gun) but he gets over it pretty quickly.
  • The film The Book Of Revelation averts this hard, as the male character is kidnapped and raped repeatedly by three hooded women. After he is released, he is shown to be deeply traumatized and is ashamed to tell those closest to him about his ordeal.
  • Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen has a Decepticon disguised as a human female track down Sam in college, force him to the bed, and into a very compromising position. When Sam's girlfriend finds them, she is furious at him, and the situation is played for laughs. Whether it's this trope from the audience's standpoint is debatable (since Transformers aren't exactly male or female in human terms, and any way, the rapist wasn't actually a woman), however the trope is pretty much alive in the eyes of the characters. It's a rather complicated scenario, as Sam was fighting "her" the entire time (trying to do it peacefully up until the Robotic Reveal) and her goals were certainly not sexual in nature.
  • Almost Famous has a scene where a flock of 18-to-20-year-old girls have sex with a 15-year-old boy, shouting "deflower the kid!" Consider how that would be treated if the genders were reversed.
  • Pee-wee's Big Adventure - as an angry biker gang discuss what they're going to do with Pee-Wee before they kill him, a big Amazon biker babe grabs him by the lapel and growls "I say you let me have him first!" - the other bikers find this hilarious.
  • In Real Genius, adult genius-groupie Sherry Nugil throws herself at Mitch, a 15-year-old freshman. He turns her down (because her advances scare the crap out of him), but the issue of whether Statutory Rape Is Ok When It's Female On Male is never mentioned.
  • A lesser sexual offense than rape, but same Double Standard: In An American Werewolf in London, another nurse remarks to the Love Interest that she'd "had a look" at the unconscious David's genitals. If a male nurse had admitted to peeking under female patients' gowns, he'd get canned on the spot, but in this case the voyeur is merely chided that it's improper behavior.
  • Horrible Bosses doesn't so much play this straight as avert it while playing it for laughs anyways. The victim is this case is engaged, but his fiancee has absolutely no impact on the plot except to make the sexual harassment seem like a real problem. Presumably the writers figured that the audience would see nothing wrong with Jennifer Aniston forcing herself on a single man and drugs Dale (and some of her other patients) before she performs lewd acts on them while passed out. If the gender roles were reversed, her character would've been considered a stone cold rapist and a Complete Monster.
  • Played straight in the 1949 film Neptune's Daughter. Betty Garrett sings ''Baby It's Cold Outside'' to Red Skelton while fondling and groping him as he tries to get her out of his apartment. It's an over the top parody of an earlier scene with Ricardo Montalbán and Esther Williams, with the roles being reversed.
  • Tabloid tells the true story of a beautiful woman who kidnapped a homely male missionary, tied him to a bed, and allegedly raped him for several days. The whole thing is mostly told from her perspective and played for laughs. It's hard to imagine that a movie about a homely man kidnapping and raping a beautiful young nun for several days would be quite as lighthearted.
  • In Pleasantville, Jennifer goes on a date with the town jock, who she quickly manipulates into having sex with her. This is Played for Laughs, though at the time, the boy had no idea what sex was (or for that matter, STD's or even pregnancy), was visibly freaked out, and even mistook his erection for an "illness." Had the sexes been reversed, the boy would have been villified.
  • Played straight initially, but ultimately averted in the film Notes On A Scandal. A thirty-something year old teacher begins an affair with her 15-year old student. Though she does everything possible to convince herself that she's doing nothing wrong, once the affair is discovered, suffice it say, NO ONE agrees with her—she's physically assaulted by the boy's mother, rejected by her family, fired from her job, and arrested and sent to prison, though she receives a relatively light sentence (10 months) as compared to a male perpetrator.
  • Played straight in Super, wherein Ellen Page's ingénue, superhero-horny character overpowers Rainn Wilson's character and forcibly has sex with him. He fights her and angrily throws her off, but subsequently acts as if it never happened, and they continue to fight crime together.
  • Towards the end of Sex and Death 101, For complicated plot reasons, the protagonist is attempting not to have sex for a while, and is trying to burn off the excess energy through bicycling. He ends up having an accident, and while he's lying injured, a busload of Catholic Schoolgirls find him and decide to lose their virginity to him. This is followed up by the bus driver also deciding to get a piece. This is all played for laughs.
  • In the film Spring 1941, a Jewish family, the Plancks, is hiding from the Nazis in the attic of a Polish farmer, Emilia. Emilia falls in love with Artur Planck (who can pass for a gentile and thus spends his days helping her with her farmwork), and pursues him, although he's married and obviously devoted to his wife and daughter. Artur begins sleeping with her, both literally and euphemistically, while Emilia starts restricting the number of times a day he can go up to see his family, eventually bringing the number down to once a week. She makes it plain that she will kick them out if he gives her reason to be jealous. Artur is not happy with any of this. His wife views it as cheating, which is justified given both the time period and the character's overall emotional state, but the film itself seems to treat the whole situation as a love triangle rather than repeated rape via blackmail.

    Literature 
  • The primary plot of Rupert Thomson's novel The Book Of Revelation a man is abducted and sexually assaulted by three unidentified women over a period of roughly two weeks.
  • Judith Krantz novel I'll Take Manhattan's Maxi and her ex Rocco- at one point she grabs his penis during an argument, which leads to a hard-on, which leads to...well, him saying she raped him afterwards. (Who randomly grabs a penis during an argument?)
    • Another Judith Krantz novel: Scruples 2. Zach is asleep and wakes up to find Pandora having sex on top of him. Then Gigi, the girl Zach actually likes walks in... Later Zach explains the situation to Gigi's stepmother, who believes him, but admits it'd be a stretch to explain. Judith Krantz has no problems with going for this trope, apparently.
  • The version with the character waking up with the wrong woman sort of happens in one of the Flashman books, because the villain uses this trope to coerce the title character into doing his bidding; by having the woman cry rape and having the authority to get Flashman off.
  • Forms the primary plot motivator in the novel and later film Disclosure. An employee eventually storms away from his former lover and current Straw Feminist boss after she starts giving him fellatio. As revenge, she sues *him* for sexual harassment and the inherent Double Standard of this trope is what really vexes the male main character. Fortunately, the employee, with anonymous email tips, manages to find a sexual harassment attorney who specializes in dealing with men as victims. With her help and a helpful audio recording where the employee is heard refusing the woman's advances at least fifty times, he is fully vindicated. It's only after he finds out that the company president has succumbed to the woman's wiles that things get worse for him.
  • In the Wheel of Time books, Mat encounters the widowed Queen of Ebou Dar, a nation in which men are second-class citizens. Mat is repeatedly raped by the Queen, frequently tied down at knife-point and forced to be her sexual servant against his will. This is all treated as comedy because Mat is normally a consumate flirt. The fact that he is sexually victimized is treated as his come-uppance for his previous behavior. When finally freed of the Queen's subjugation, he reflects that he will miss her. If the sexes were reversed, this would be seen as a creepy example of Stockholm Syndrome, but due to the prevailing theme of dominant, aggressive women in the series, it's more likely a case of Author Appeal.
  • In the book Conrad's Time Machine, the main character is raped by three women; he says he doesn't think they should be prosecuted like male rapists should, and in fact we later discover this was part of his bachelor party that his best friend set up for him!
  • In Peter David's The Woad to Wuin (sequel to Sir Apropos of Nothing), the first chapter is a parody of Lord of the Rings in which the eponymous character finds "the One Thing to Rule Them All", an artifact which makes him irresistible to others, including his antagonist love interest. He spends quite a few days tied down in an inn being raped by women before being rescued by a mock-Fellowship, and going off (unwillingly) to rid himself of the Thing. When he finally succeeds and returns, he of course is blamed for "forcing" himself on the woman, and she storms off.
  • In an episode of You Rang, M'Lord? Teddy hits on a plan to get out of marrying a woman he doesn't love: when she's spending the night at his house he'll creep into her bedroom and then do nothing. She'll assume he's impotent and call the wedding off. He doesn't count on how enthusiastically she'll react to finding him getting into bed with her, and although the character is quite unhappy about what's happened, it's played for laughs.
  • In the Red Dwarf novel Last Human, Lister is forced to marry a hideously ugly Gelf (Genetically Engineered Life Form). The situation is played mostly for laughs, but his emotions during the sex are touched on in a curiously realistic way:
    Oh, my God, he was close to climax. She really knew what she was doing. Oh, he was so disgusted. Did he have no self-control? She was descended from hippos, for God's sake.
  • A similar scenario occurs in the TV series Episode "Polymorph II", though in this case Lister manages to escape before his "wife" can get his clothes off.
  • Averted in C. J. Cherryh's Cyteen, where young researcher Justin Warrick is seduced, drugged and abused by much older boss Ariane Emory. And, on Emory's command, by her male and female pair of azi (cloned and programmed human soldier/servant/slaves). Justin is made by others to feel that it's either his fault or no big deal; others believe it was Emory's revenge on Justin's father. We eventually find out it's much more complex than that; Emory was doing it as psychological manipulation to drive Justin away from his father and make him into what Emory wanted him to become. Cherryh has dealt with the rape of men by women before, notably in Downbelow Station, in which warship captain Signy Mallory keeps a mind-wiped enemy spy as her torture and torment pet, which does appear to be sexual for her.
  • In the Harry Potter books there are several mentions of love potions. All of them have a girl slipping a boy the potion, and in most cases it's played for laughs. Note that love potions make the drinker temporarily obsessed with whoever gave them the potion, so they can be compared to date rape drugs. Fred and George's shop have an entire display of them with a special owl order service that disguises them as cough potions to get them past the Aurors screening all the mail coming into Hogwarts.
    • In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince one of Harry's fangirls accidentally gives Ron a love potion. Harry and Hermione are worried by the situation, but their main concern is that the potion was expired and Ron's reaction was outside normal parameters; the scene is still treated as comical.
    • And then deconstructed when Dumbledore says Merope Gaunt's use of love potions to elope with Tom Riddle was no different than using the Imperius Curse (an illegal mind-control spell) since Merope kept Tom Riddle drugged for months, forcing him to leave his family and live with her against his will, which is a bit worse than snogging someone who wouldn't have snogged you under normal circumstances. It's possible the Double Standard is supposed to be in-universe, and the Merope thing is to highlight what the reader thought was harmless. And Voldemort actually admires his mother for drugging and raping his father and detesting him for naturally, getting the fuck out when the potion she used wore off. This is mentioned by Dumbledore as another sign of his utter insanity.
  • Averted in Robert Merle's novel Virility Factor. The novel is about a Gendercide that destroys most of the males, and contains a newspaper story where two young women kidnap and repeatedly rape an elderly priest. This is described as a traumatizing and humiliating experience for the priest, but the misandrist regime that came into power, punishes him much harder than the rapists.
  • This is how the eponymous protagonist in The World According to Garp comes into being: his mother rapes a brain-damaged World War II gunner.
  • Surprisingly averted in The Chronicles of Blood and Stone when Tristan is violently raped by Succiu. It's one of the few mature moments of plot development in the series.
  • Played straight in Ken Follett's "World Without End". Merthin is raped by Griselda, the daughter of the man of whom he is an apprentice. It turns out it was all a plot by Elfric so he would not have to give Merthin a free set of tools and a full guild membership, however.
  • Violet and Eddie in Shades Of Grey. The fact that Eddie's own father set it up just adds insult to injury.
  • In The Once and Future King, Princess Elaine does this to Lancelot, twice. The first time, she gets the servants to get him drunk and trick him into thinking that she's Guinevere, and this is when Galahad was conceived. The second time occurs when she comes to visit after Galahad's birth, and somehow she manages to impersonate Guinevere again, without Lancelot being drunk and with him having been told by the Queen that she wouldn't go to his bedroom when Elaine was at the castle. This is all more of an subversion, since Guinevere, Lancelot, and Elaine all treat the matter quite seriously.
  • The Star Wars Expanded Universe does this with Dathomir. Luke even moralizes about everything wrong with this trope. Then later Luke and Ben go back to Dathomir, and Ben asks "What kind of woman could I find here anyway?"
  • Averted in Drakon when genetically engineered Homo Drakensis Gwendolyn Ingolfsson rapes a teenage boy. in a sense the boy does "enjoy" it, since Drakensis secrete powerful pheromones that compel sexual arousal in humans, but the scene is horrific and is not presented as anything other than deeply traumatizing for the victim.
  • Ghoulishly averted in R.A. Salvatore's Forgotten Realms novels when we get a glimpse of what actually happened to Wulfgar while he was kept as a prisoner by Errtu in the Abyss. We learn that Wulfgar was raped by some of the succubuses who served Errtu, who bore his half-demon children. This was traumatizing enough by itself, but It Got Worse when Errtu took the baby half-demons and ate them alive in front of Wulfgar. Is it any wonder Wulfgar became an alcoholic Blood Knight after his friends rescued him?
  • In Graham McNeill's Warhammer 40,000 Horus Heresy novel False Gods one of the many indignities Maggard suffers as a bodyguard is being his mistress's Sex Slave. She thinks it's this trope, and in fact some recompense for his fighting ability winning him more respect from the Astartes than she gets. In end, though, it does help explain why Maggard let Horus send him to murder an inconvenience while Horus murders his mistress for being inconvenient.
  • In Fallen Angels (by Niven/Pournelle/Flynn), Captain Lee Arteria (female) announces that she will be taking Bob Needleton's seed with her when she leaves. They've only just met, and when he hesitates, she explicitly says: "I didn't ask." There are several other people watching, and only one person asks "Shouldn't we be trying to rescue him?" However, he doesn't bear a grudge.
  • In A Working of Stars by Debra Doyle and D. James Macdonald, a spy, Iulan Vai takes advantage of a convalescing Arekhon's semi-consciousness to have sex with him even though his semi-conscious state means he cannot truly consent. Arekhon believes she is his lover, Elaeli. Even more creepy—this act becomes the start of a relationship.
  • Heavily averted in J.R. Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood series. Zsadist was kidnapped as an infant, sold into slavery, and eventually used as a sex slave for centuries by a woman known only as "Misstress". Zsadist sustained an incredible amount of psychological damage. Though he is seen as evil and soulless as a result of his abuse, the abuse itself is seen as horrendous and unthinkable. His mate, Bella, is especially horrified when she finds that his problems with affection, sex, and emotions stem from being repeatedly raped. Zsadist keeps the skull of his Mistress as tangible evidence of her death to reassure himself that she could not find him and enslave him again.
  • In the Rift War series, while on the Dasati homeworld, rebel leader Naureen, who's sheltering hero Pug and co, conscripts Pug's son Magnus as her boy toy. Magnus clearly isn't okay with this, but neither Pug nor Magnus really objects, and the whole thing is treated as not a big deal. The incident isn't mentioned again.

    Live-Action TV 
  • This was dealt with in the Law & Order: Special Victims Unit episode "Ridicule" where the unit tries to disprove this after bachlorette party ends with a male stripper being handcuffed to the bed and gang-raped by three women. This trope was both played straight and averted, in that the reactions of the male detectives, were outright skepticism that a man having an erection could not consent and questioning the victim's occupation and the costume he wears (veering vary close to the Gender Flip of the "If she's dressed slutty, she's asking for it" argument, with Tutuola suggesting that some would call 3 women on 1 man lucky, while Olivia's and the Chief's were both of how an erection is a physical response, not a psychological one (and even friction from clothing can cause one, as any teenage boy who's had the "blackboard incident" can tell you) and "Hey, a rape victim is a rape victim, and a rapist is a rapist! Now shut up, we've got work to do."*
    • Another had a woman slipping talented men roofies so she could get their genetic material, If You Know What I Mean. They all take this one seriously though.
    • Another averted SVU example, where the detectives are on the trail of a man who stabs women with hat-pins, finally arresting a guy in his early to mid-30's, and with Dr. Wong's advice, force him into a bit of a mind-break to find out why: he stabs women because his mother molested him and used him as a surrogate husband when he was growing up. Noe that they are all horrified at this. His wealthy, well-connected mother comes to bail him out, and takes him home. When the accused doesn't show up at court, Benson and Stabler head to his house to pick him up, and find him in bed with his mother, both (apparently) naked and with her throat slit, and cuing him to do a paraphrase of Norman Bates' famous "A boy's best friend is his mother..."
    • Even within that episode, there was an example of this trope. When interrogated about his relationship to his latest victim, the suspect complains that she was sexually harassing him and had demanded sex from him in exchange for a favorable job recommendation. Stabler's response? "She's a beautiful woman. Weren't you flattered?" Arguably, he would have never have said that to a woman making a similar complaint but since the suspect was being interrogated for her rape & murder, it was most likely Elliot's attempt to poke a hole in his story and get a confession (we never find out either way if he was lying).
    • Averted in an episode where a female psychiatrist was drugging an underaged male patient in her home but the detectives didn't have enough evidence to get him removed from the house. While discussing their options, Olivia asks, "Would we even be having this conversation if it was a male doctor and an underaged girl?"
    • Another aversion in the episode "Head", where a hidden camera captures footage of a young boy being sexually assaulted in a bathroom. Although the detectives are surprised to realize that the attacker is a woman (they notice her manicured nails), they don't handle the case any less seriously than if the attacker were a man.
  • Played more or less straight in the Star Trek: Enterprise, episode "Unexpected". "More or less", because the writers didn't even NOTICE they had written a rape into the story (an alien gets a man to use her DNA machine and thus get pregnant). Elaborated on in this review by SF Debris. The alien expected him to know what the DNA machine was - she was honestly surprised at his surprise to the pregnancy, and was sorry for it when she found it was against his wishes.
  • Star Trek: The Next Generation
    • Played for laughs, at least to some degree, in the episode "First Contact". Disguised as an alien, Commander Riker is trying to escape when a female alien confronts him. She agrees to help him, but only if he has sex with her first. While not rape, she did force him into it, and it is hard to imagine Troi agreeing to have sex with a male alien to escape. Which is made even worse when you consider that he was seriously injured at the time.
    • Makes another appearance in the episode "Liaisons". Picard is marooned on an alien world with a woman intent on making him love her. After trying to let her down easy, she becomes more aggressive and forces him onto the ground. Sex does not actually occur as Picard is able to wrestle free, but nonetheless, he emerges visibly upset. All's well that ends well, however, when the woman later reveals herself to be a man. The shuttle pilot Picard was told had been killed earlier in the episode, was actually masquerading as the woman the whole time. He reveals himself to be an ambassador sent to study the concept of love, and reconstructs a Florence Nightengale scenario based on the logs of a human woman who actually lived on the planet to achieve this goal. Picard cracks a joke about how what just went down could be considered a crime, but otherwise seems none the worse for wear.
  • Shows up in Star Trek: The Original Series Leila Kalomi drugs Spock and it is implied they had sex although during their previous relationship he had refused her, possibly because he was betrothed to T'Pring. Apparently it's okay because he was tempted though.
    • Also in TOS, Kirk was drugged for sex in A Private Little War by a woman who also uses drugs to "keep" her husband.
    • This seems to happen to Kirk a lot, really. In "The Wink of an Eye," for example.
  • In Picket Fences, a man is raped by a woman "Sharon Stone" style, but she thought he was "saying no when he really means yes." During the trial, the Amoral Attorney makes a big joke out of the male victim's experience.
  • Averted in an episode of Life on Mars. Being set in The Seventies, the other characters' attitudes are somewhat justified, but the victim himself is merely slightly upset - about the blackmail pictures. However, Gene is later seen giving the man who ordered the rape a talking-to, despite him usually having 'protection' from arrest.
  • In the 70's TV-movie It Couldn't Happen to a Nicer Guy, a stripper orders a family man to strip at gunpoint "for kicks;" needless to say, the film is a comedy, but centers on the fact of how no one sympathizes with him.
  • In Peep Show Mark, the perpetual Butt Monkey, is raped by a woman. However, this is a subversion as when he tells his friends, an addict and a Casanova, they attempt to convince him that he was raped and didn't merely have an awkward moment. He uncomfortably maintains that it wasn't a rape because nothing went into his anus. Like everything else on the show, however, they simultaneously play it for laughs.
    Jez: Do you have feelings of guilt and shame and self-loathing?
    Mark: You know I do, don't load the question.
  • Averted in Season 4 of Farscape, in which Grayza's mental and physical rape of Crichton is portrayed as traumatising and disgusting to him. In the episode immediately after it happens for the first time, he is seen frantically throwing water all over himself in an attempt to "clean" her off of him. Later, he does start to go along with it, but only so that he can find a way to trick her. After secretly finding a way to reverse the effects of the aphrodisiac she was using on him, he eventually ties her up in a supposed bondage session, before leaving her there and escaping, much to her fury.
    • Ironically, Grayza herself seems to be a believer in this trope: during Crichton's rape, she boasts that her interrogations are so much better than those of Scorpius. Crichton doesn't agree in the slightest, and takes the time to remind her during Grayza's Villainous Breakdown.
    • The Peacekeeper Wars miniseries, which takes place a few months after these events, contains a possible consequence of Grayza's actions: she is shown to be pregnant throughout; the identity of the baby's father is never revealed, but the final episodes of the series and the mini-series address the issue of Crichton being able to successfully conceive a child with a Sebacean.
  • 70s soap opera parody Soap has a plotline in which Danny Dallas breaks into the house of Mafia boss Charles Lefkowitz only to be caught by his daughter, who demands sex from him at gunpoint. This is played for comedy, naturally.
  • Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Xander, a while after consensual sex with Faith in "The Zeppo", goes to visit her in "Consequences" and she pins him to the bed and almost rapes him, before deciding to strangle him instead. Although Angel, who rescues him, is clearly outraged at Faith, there's no reference to the incident after the episode in question except a small "hear, hear" of agreement from Xander when Giles says he doesn't want Faith in combat around civilians in "Doppelgangland". Buffy even assigns Xander to go-look-for-Faith duty in "Consequences" itself after the incident. One wonders if he told anyone about it. When Faith reappears near the end of the series, Xander never once says "Wait a minute, she sexually assaulted me, I don't want her on my team."
    • Another Xander example is the second season where, with Amy's help, he tries to cast a love spell on Cordelia, his ex. Unfortunately, it backfires, and every woman in Sunnydale BUT Cordy is now madly in love with him. None of them succeed, and it was his fault, but it's still a little unnerving.
    • Another Faith example: having sex with Riley while she was in Buffy's body. Curiously, the show focused much more on how Buffy was upset about this and had trouble trusting Riley afterwards, and very little regarding Riley's reaction.
    • Another example: Buffy, while invisible, throws Spike against the wall and strips him before he figures out who she is and she performs oral sex on him after he tells her to leave. We cut away before we can really figure it out. There's a poll on it, in fact. Note that, later that same season, Spike attempts to violently rape Buffy and is treated as a complete monster for it. Of course, this is Spike and Buffy we're talking about, so it's a bit of a gray area...
    • Let's not forget Miss French seducing the boys of Sunnydale High. This is wrong because A) she is their teacher, B) she drugs them first, C) they do not consent, and D) she is really a giant preying mantis who decapitates her mates during intercourse.
  • Not rape, but sexual harassment: on an episode of Friends, Joey is offered a role in a soap opera— in exchange for sleeping with the female casting director. In the end he refuses, only for her to offer him a bigger role on the same terms, and he does end up sleeping with her. The entire scenario is played for laughs, as the other five place bets on whether or not he would do it, and his only qualms about the situation are about his pride being hurt that he wouldn't have truly "earned" the role. Never once does it come up that it's completely illegal and morally reprehensible for employers to solicit sex from employees (or potential employees) as a criterion for hiring or promotion.
    • There is another example when Phoebe starts a relationship with Urusla's (her identical twin sister) ex-boyfriend, Eric. Phoebe shows up at Eric's house, expecting to "pick up where they'd left off" earlier in the episode, only to have Eric mention how he's still quite tired from the sex they had earlier in the day. Only, Phoebe and Eric never slept together, and they soon realise that Ursula had come over, and believing she was Phoebe, Eric slept with her. If this had been twin brothers and a girlfriend, it would have turned into a completely different sort of show all together.
  • In Two and a Half Men, Charlie is drugged and possibly raped by his female stalker "Rose", but it's ok since he's a sleazy man.
  • In M*A*S*H, Radar is aggressively ravaged by a kooky nurse; but of course it's funny because it's what he wanted anyway... and it's M*A*S*H, after all (see movies, above).
  • Desperate Housewives - Orson's ex-wife drugs him, rapes him, and tries to get pregnant to force them back into marriage. Though Bree does call it rape, it's mostly played straight/for laughs (no trauma, no shock, no nothing). One can only imagine the internet backdraft if Orson was the rapist. At the very least when Bree finds out she is so disgusted and furious that she punches the bitch to the floor on the spot.
  • In Stargate SG-1. The Goa'uld queen Hathor puts Daniel Jackson under heavy-duty mind control and has her way with him in order to create more Goa'uld larvae. When the all-female task force find him afterwards, he is catatonic and surrounded by obvious signs of a struggle. At the end of the episode, when he admits that a lot of the larval DNA is going to be his, Jack O'Neill reacts in disgust. Only somewhat averted in that it isn't clear that the others even realize what Hathor did to Daniel, and may be reacting more to human DNA being incorporated into the form of the enemy. It never comes up again until Hathor's next (and last) appearance, which amounts solely to Daniel refusing to look at her and saying that he "tries not to" think about their last encounter.
    • In the episode "Brief Candle", Jack is drugged by the woman who proceeds to 'have sex' with him. No one—not the characters, not even the writers—seem to realize that this is rape, and Jack and this woman then proceed to develop a true friendship not based on sex. Or something.
  • Jim Profit in Profit was sexually abused by his stepmother, who blackmails him back into the sexual relationship upon discovering that he has become wealthy and powerful. Despite the fact that he is clearly unhappy whenever he's forced to engage in this behavior, and her repeated demands that he allow her to tie him up and beat him bloody, the writers and some of the fans seem to view it as a kinky relationship, not a series of sexual assaults. Fans often excuse the relationship because Jim is so wicked, ignoring that his stepmother is actually one of his Freudian Excuses for being the Heroic Sociopath and that if their genders were reversed she'd be one of the most vilified characters of all time.
  • Somewhat averted in Swedish miniseries Glappet. One of the female protagonists has sex with a guy who's half passed out at a party. He wakes up knowing that it happened, but not who the girl was, and while he feels that it was rape, when he tries to talk to a therapist about it the therapist just laughs at him. As for the protagonist, she treats it as a regular one-night-stand, but eventually comes to realize that the guy feels differently, and apologizes.
  • Averted in Oz where prison guard Claire Howell sleeps with any male inmate that takes her fancy. While many are (initially) eager, she's not above savagely beating those who reject her advances.
    • Real prisons are totally like that.
  • Completely subverted in Medium episode "Lady Killer," in which Alison dreams that an older woman is seducing younger men and killing them, but it turns out that the actual perpetrator is a Straight Gay man. Unfortunately we don't find out in time to see if it becomes Rape Is Funny When It Is Male on Male or Even the Guys Want Him. Probably also a subversion of Nobody Over 50 Is Gay as no one seems to suspect it could be a man (of course, Alison usually doesn't get gender wrong).
  • Addressed in Misfits: Alisha has the ability to overwhelm people with lust just by touching them; once she got over the initial shock, she begins using it to draw in sexual partners. Apparently, she doesn't consider anything wrong with this- up until she tries it out on Curtis, who knows about her power; he reacts with disgust and anger (not shying away from calling the experience rape in later episodes). Intially petulant, claiming that Curtis is "the one with the problem", Alisha begins to lose confidence when she realises that her supposed "boyfriends" can't even remember what happened; eventually, she gives up on Power Perversion Potential once and for all when she almost ends up getting raped while using her power.
  • An episode of The Inside called "The Perfect Couple" had the FBI trying to find a serial killer that raped women and then shot them in the genitalia. It turned out a Former Child Star was having his wife pick up gay and bisexual women for him to rape while she watched, and afterwards she could not stand that they had been with him so she shot them in the vagina. After he found out that she had murdered them (he thought she was just dropping them off back at their homes), he offered to make it up to her by having them abduct a man for her to rape and him to kill. The man they abducted was the bartender who had been hitting on the main character for the entire show and once had an affair with the wife. He is tied up and raped by the wife but before they have a chance to shoot him the FBI arrived and the evil couple decides to use him as a hostage. They then trade him for the leader of the FBI team and the husband is shot by the wife when he said the murders were all her idea. The bartender showed up again in the next episode, hitting on the main character, no worse for wear and even joking about the experience. The episode after that begins with the two of them in bed together, after which the show was canceled because it was Too Good to Last.
  • Played for laughs in Eastwick, where Joanna has the power to make men do what she wants. In one episode she used it to prove to her love interest that she wasn't interested in him by flirting with a guy at a party. When the guy started to back off from her, she used her mindpowers to get him to have sex with her. And then we find out that not only is the guy she slept with gay, he's in a committed relationship. It's made 100% clear that the guy would never have slept voluntarily with Joanna, and yet it's played as another 'oh, that silly Joanna, she has such bad luck with men!' moment and she's the one who feels embarrassed and humiliated.
  • Happens in Dollhouse once. Senator Daniel Perrin is drugged and then implied to have been raped by Echo's current imprint for a video that would ruin his reputation. He suffers no emotional trauma, he just wants her as evidence for the existence of the Dollhouse. Of course, since he's also a doll and has been programmed to only think about bringing down the Dollhouse, this ends up making sense.
  • Played straight in Glee. The principal wakes up in bed after Sue spikes his drink. She threatens to tell his wife unless she gets her job back. She takes a picture but otherwise reveals she's actually fully clothed. This is played for laughs.
    • Of course, the "fully-clothed" bit was included to show that they hadn't actually had sex, so it's not quite as bad as some of the other examples on this page; more like "Fooling Someone Into Thinking They'd Been Date Raped is OK When it's Female On Male."
  • A standard soap opera plot is a woman deliberately getting a man drunk (and in some cases, drugging him) in order to have sex with him (sometimes pretending to be his wife or girlfriend, once he's too inebriated to tell the difference). At the very least she gets into bed with him and lets him think that sex took place. All for some equally nefarious purpose, such as getting pregnant/breaking up his relationship/causing professional strife for him, or for the pitiful reason that she's in love with the man and thinks that the resulting sex and/or pregnancy will result in him reciprocating her feelings. There is a subversion in that the woman in question is almost always condemned for her actions, but rarely is she ever referred to as a rapist, when if the genders were reversed, no one would hesitate to apply this term to a man.
    • Averted in an As the World Turns storyline which had a demented Julia kidnapping her ex-husband Jack, holding him prisoner for several days, forcing him to have sex with her and eventually trying to kill him. While the scenes were initially played as black comedy (which would never have been done had the genders been reversed), things took an ugly turn when she tried to kill him, and when he later confessed what had happened to his fiancee, his demeanor was very similar to that of a rape victim.
  • Lightly used in The Muppet Show, since Miss Piggy frequently attempts to force herself on Kermit and sometimes even the male guest stars.
  • On a second season episode of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, called "Overload" Nick revealed to Catherine that he was raped by a last minute replacement baby sitter when he was 9 years old. While it was obviously a traumatic experience he has not made any references to it since then presumably because of this trope, not even in the tenth season episode "Death and the Maiden" when he is deeply affected by the case of a young teen who was sexually assaulted (albeit by a man). When Nick goes to a rape counselor for the boy, she accused him of not really caring about the victims and said that most male victims would not admit being raped. Instead of proving her wrong on both accounts, he simply said that she did not care about him because he had a badge and left.
  • The episode "Flesh and Stone" of Doctor Who has a scene with companion Amy throwing herself at the Doctor, kissing him forcefully and trying to take his clothes off, with the Doctor trying to push her away and put his clothes back to rights. It's played mostly for laughs, but if it had been a male character trying to undress a physically and vocally unwilling female character, it would look like a set-up for a Date Rape Averted plotline. She does promptly come back to her senses, though.
  • Averted in the pilot episode of Supernatural. A hitchhiking ghost only murders unfaithful men. When her attempts to seduce Sam into cheating on his girlfriend fail, she tries to take him forcefully.
    Sam: You can’t kill me. I’m not unfaithful. I’ve never been.
    Constance: You will be.
    • Seven seasons later, Sam gets drugged with love potion by Becky; luckily, it never gets as far as sex, but he's still furious with both the act itself and her attempts to pass it off.
    Becky: Look. Yes, I used a social lubricant -
    Sam: (hogtied to a bed) You roofied me!
  • In the Japanese drama series Jotei Kaoruko, based on the manga of the same name, a male character is raped by a woman he is sharing an apartment with. She ignores him when he tells her to stop, and he appears to be distressed; but later in the same episode is still living with her and while he is briefly upset, seems to get over it as soon as she tells him she has feelings for him. The incident isn't mentioned again.
  • In Engine Sentai Go-onger, when the team first meets the Stripperiffic villainess Kegareshia, she responds to Hanto by lashing him with her whip, standing on his back and then taunting him with seductive "baby talk." He is visibly scared and upset but is able to throw her off him. It's played for laughs and possibly mild Ship Tease but had it been a male villain and Saki, the only girl on the team, it would have come across as creepy and at least an implied threat of rape.
  • Sunao ni Narenakute has "Linda's" boss blackmailing him into sex. He is devastated at this, mostly because he's in love with Nakaji but the show does imply that what the boss does is made worse because she's overweight, ugly and middle-aged, as if having an attractive woman force herself on you is somehow less wrong.
  • Averted in True Blood- when Arlene realises that she and Terry had sex during the black-out caused by Maryann's spell, she becomes deeply concerned that she may have coerced him (Terry had previously avoided physical intimacy because of his PTSD), saying "I think I might have done something terrible."
  • Averted by Hong Kong detective comedy show To Catch The Uncatchable. The female lead Vivi's timid friend lost her cheating husband and didn't know what to do with her life. Then Jim, a friend of Vivi's, came to cheer her up and she immediately fell in love with him. After being rejected by Vivi, Jim got drunk and she seduced him into bed and slept with him. Once he and Vivi found out, both were disgusted by her actions, no matter how sympathetic she was earlier.
  • The Confessors on Legend of the Seeker father offspring by men who are "confessed", i.e. turned into the confessor's lifelong love slave. No one cares since sleeping with any man would automatically confess them anyway and the confessed were usually enemy soldiers in their former lives.
    • Averted by Kahlan when she called out on two occassions confessors who abused their power by confessing innocent civilians and were implied to have done this.
    • Deconstructed by Kahlan's father, who became an Abusive Parent to make up for the years he lost confessed to her mother. When Kahlan tries to justify her mother confessing him with the maxim that confessors don't take honorable men as mates, he relates his backstory of how his father drafted him into the D'Haran army to keep him from becoming a carpenter and his confession came right before he was due to leave from his tour of duty.
    • And in the original books, Confessors are basically social pariahs for this sort of thing. Nobody wants to even touch one for fear of this happening.
  • On General Hospital, Jasper "Jax" Jacks is kidnapped by his brother's Psycho Ex-Girlfriend, Irina. He is beaten over several days and then handcuffed to a bed, gagged and raped more then once. When he is finally rescued, everyone says that the situation was simply him cheating on his wife. In fact, when the writers were asked about it, they outright stated that men cannot get raped. They eventually refused to acknowledge the plot entirely, despite the amount of controversy it brought. However, a few years later Jax's stepson Micheal was raped as well. Another plot line the writers, so far, have refused to acknowledge.
  • Averted in the Cold Case episode "Blackout". The victim was a pedophile who had molested her son and was now turning her attention towards her grandson. Her actions are viewed with as much revulsion and seen to cause as much damage (her 30-something year old son still blames himself for what happened) as if she'd been a male perpetrator.
  • In the Mutant X episode "Deadly Desire", an evil mutant puts Brennan under her pheromonal control and then has sex with him. No one treats this as rape. A bad thing that he's working with her, but not rape. In fact, they criticize him for "acting like a jerk" after he's cured. Aargh.
  • A recent episode of Degrassi: The Next Generation is sort of an aversion, and sort of not, at least for statutory rape. A male student meets an older woman through an online video game. He only wants to play the game, and is disturbed and repulsed when she attempts to make a move on him. Of course, it's noteworthy that said woman is rather homely and unattractive - of course any male teenager would be out of his mind to not want to be statutory-raped by a "hot" older woman.
  • In an early episode of ER, Carter is accidentally knocked out by a classmate. When he comes to, he's surprised to find himself in a hospital gown and in a bed. The nurse proceeds to gleefully tell him that since he was unconscious, since they were already checking him for injuries, and since the medical student was new and needed to practice performing a physical exam, she allowed her to perform a full exam on Carter, including his genitalia and a rectal exam, despite the fact that Carter was unconscious and therefore unable to give or deny consent. The entire scene is of course, played for laughs, despite the fact that Carter is genuinely freaked out and upset—though his main concern seems to be that his genitalia were classified as "average", rather than "normal", as Carter insists. When Carter asks if they're just joking with him, they respond by laughing even more and refusing to answer him, thus leaving the matter up in the air, leaving him even more freaked out and for the rest of the day, subjected to relentless teasing from his other colleagues. A male doctor pulling a similar stunt would have been arrested in two seconds, and even if he were merely joking and hadn't really done anything, he'd still likely face a severe reprimand.
  • Averted in an episode of Married... with Children, of all shows. Bud is dating both a girl from his school and his 40-year old gorgeous English teacher, but unsure of which to choose. When he tries to confide in his father, Al initially dismisses him. . .until Bud mentions the 40-year old teacher. The next morning has Al walking into the classroom, blasting the woman as a "cradle-robbing pervert" and her being hauled off by two police officers. Unfortunately, the actual teacher was out for the day, so Al just humiliated a completely innocent elderly woman, but it was still refreshing—and oddly touching—to see Al react appropriately. Even the woman being hot and Bud's "consent" didn't make Al see what she was doing as any less wrong.
  • In "The Ghost of Ohatsu Tenjin", part of a series of short ghost stories, the (very young) male protagonist seems afraid of the advances of the succubus-like ghost. His father walks in on her molesting him and just goes "good for you, son, carry on." It's Played for Laughs.
  • Sexual Harrasment Is OK If It's Female On Male is averted in an episode of Cracker, where a confused, homosexual young man is constantly hit on by the predominantly female employees of his workplace to his extreme discomfort, and it's not played for laughs at all, especially when they get physical.
  • At least once on the Dr. Phil show, a man tried to counter his wife's claim of Domestic Abuse by saying that he was raped by his wife. Dr. Phil did not even consider the possibility that he might be telling the truth.
  • Happened in the BET Sitcom 'The Game' where a character (I forgot her name, but she was played by Megan Good) blackmailed Malik into sleeping with her by saying she would tell everyone he raped her if he didn't. In case you don't watch the show, Malik is a football player, and this would likely destroy his life completely, especially since he has done many questionable things already. Anyway, after they slept together(the show never acknowledges that this is rape, even with the look of despair on his face) she hits him in the back of the head and makes him go another round. Cue Laugh Track... She never got called out on this, got a Freudian Excuse, and even walked out of it relatively cleanly, much cleaner than Malik himself did.
  • Notably averted in Pretty Little Liars (only the television version, not the books): Jenna coerced Toby into sex in a way that would pretty clearly constitute rape under Pennsylvania law. When the four main characters learn the truth, they are appalled, and clearly see Toby as a victim and Jenna as the victimizer; although none of them ever calls it rape or uses that word, they never minimize, rationalize, or make light of what Jenna had done. It's also clear, given that Jenna attempted to cover up what she had done, and was alarmed at the thought that her deeds might come to light, that she knows that what she did was wrong.
  • Series two of Psychoville introduces the character of Hattie, a Fag Hag who is asked to marry her gay friend's boyfriend in order for him to remain in the UK. She becomes instantly infatuated with him, convinces herself that their marriage is real, and eventually blackmails him into sex - he is Iranian and could be executed for homosexuality if he is sent back to his own country. All of this is largely played for laughs, though with the obvious overtone that Hattie is not in the best of mental health.
  • Examined in The George Lopez Show. When George and Angie find out a sex offender is living in their neighborhood, George gathers a mob of neighbors to harass the person at their house. When it turns out to be a woman, everyone leaves. However, Angie still thinks the person is a threat. Later in the episode, Max ends up at the woman's house, and they all think she was trying to rape him, but it turns out he showed up at her house and wanted to have sex with her.
  • The ABC News program What Would You Do tested this out with a hidden camera showing a tutor getting a little too close to her teenage student.
  • Played for laughs in the episode of Quantum Leap, "Moments to Live," when Sam leaps into the body of a soap opera star who is kidnapped by a woman and taken to an isolated cabin where he is tied up and his kidnapper tries to rape him in an effort to have his child.
  • One infamous episode of Too Close For Comfort has Monroe kidnapped and raped by two women. Oddly enough, only Mr. Rush sees Monroe as the victim of a crime while his wife and two daughters think Monroe somehow "cooperated" with his rapists.
  • Averted in an old episode of Law & Order when a female psychiatrist sleeps with one of her patients. His fiancee finds out, causing the patient to lash out and kill the fiancee. Although the R-word isn't used, Dr. Olivet explains to the D.A. that a psychiatrist sleeping with a patient is a major Moral Event Horizon in their profession and would be a crime in other states and, at the very least, she's responsible for her negligence in causing the emotional turmoil that prompted his murderous rage.
  • Pretty much the entire premise of Lost Girl. The main character, a succubus, routinely uses her magical roofies to get what she wants (usually from men). It's stated outright that this is what she brings to her and Kenzi's PI business. She also spent years draining the life out of everyone she had sex with. Imagine a show with a male central character like that.
  • Averted in Hustle S 08 E 2, Sean is forced to kiss a mentally unstable older woman to get information. Then he's forced to make out with her. At least. We cut to him sitting in the team's bar with clothing askew, lipstick smeared all over his face, desperately in need of a drink. Any laughs from the audience are not intended to be hearty ones.
    Ash: Did she...?
    Sean: I don't want to talk about it. [Beat] She took her teeth out.
  • In an early episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Odo comes to Sisko, openly distraught, and asks him to stop Lwaxana Troi from sexually harrassing him - her status as an ambassador means he feels he can't say anything himself for fear of insulting her. Sisko finds the whole thing hilarious and suggests that it would do Odo good to take her up on the offer. In the same episode Sisko tells Dr Bashir about an incident a few years before when he punched a male ambassador in the face for making advances to a female member of his crew.

    Music 
  • Somewhat of a subversion in P!nk's music video for "Please Don't Leave Me", where the singer holds her boyfriend captive after he attempts to leave her. Although rape isn't explicitly shown, it's strongly implied in the part where she begins kissing the man after he's been injured. The scene fades and then returns with her waking up naked and lying on the floor. She's portrayed as a total madwoman, but at least gets her comeuppance at the end.
  • INXS' video for "Taste It." It's either this or some particularly bizarre BDSM. It does not help when Hutchance is screaming "Never! Never! Never!" as his clothes are being cut off.
  • In Britney Spears's "Womanizer", the singer seduces her husband using several disguises, possible to test his fidelity. Nothing too bad at first. But her advances gain force as the video progresses, till she's violently taking him against his will. At the end of the video, she beats him into submission, and all three of her personas rape him.
  • In Pretty Ricky's "My Body", the first verse begins "I don't know why, but the ladies call ol' baby blue the sticker/They take me and rape me and make me they victim—" Word Of God is that lyric wasn't supposed to be taken literally, but it's hard not to.
  • In Katy Perry's "Last Friday Night", her alter ego Kathy Beth Terry is seen stroking the abdomen of an unconscious jock and then later peeking into his underwear to check out his package. Technically, if this was a guy doing this to a female character it would be considered sexual assault as sleep negates consent.
  • In the Filk Song Banned from Argo by Leslie Fish, in which the crew of the Enterprise get, well, banned from Argo, Nurse Chapel uses an "odd green potion guaranteed to cause Pon Farr" to take advantage of Spock. This is Played for Laughs and treated no more seriously than Scotty and Chekov's drunken parking violation.

    Mythology and Religion 
  • Somewhat common in Greek Mythology where the prevailing feeling seemed to be "rape is ok when it is the strong on the weak." Perhaps the best know example of this was The Amazons which as a Gender Flipped version of a typical warrior race would regularly rape prisoners of both genders just like their male counterparts. This was a major part of Greco-Roman culture. Any kind of sex was fine, including rape, as long as it involved domination of a social subordinate (usually a slave or wife; or in some cases, such as Spartan society, a younger male protege). To submit, sexually, to someone weaker or socially inferior was considered highly shameful, and grounds for anything from exploitative humour to outright ostracism.
  • In the legend of King Arthur, Sir Galahad was conceived when his father, Sir Lancelot, was drugged and raped twice. While the person who drugged him (Morgan Le Fay) is typically seen as a villain, both the rapes' mastermind (the Fisher King who wanted the perfect grandson) and the rapist herself (Princess Elaine) were not shown to be bad people.

    Theater 
  • Aristophanes's The Assemblywomen (or Ecclesiazusae) has a couple old hags dragging a young man away from his young and presumably beautiful lover to force him to obey the new laws governing sex. One wonders whether they'd already grabbed an ugly man.
  • Shakespere's Midsummer Night's Dream comes very close to playing this straight. The man, Bottom is is the victim of a supernatural practical joke, and has the head of a donkey. Titania, the fairy queen, is the victim of another practical joke, dosed with a love potion, and forced to fall desperately in love with the next thing she sees. That would be the aforementioned Bottom. As soon as love-mad Titania casts eyes on Bottom, she wants him. Bottom, (who's having a rough day) decides to head home, not realizing that she's a fairy queen, and fairy queens aren't used to hearing the word "No".
    Titania: Out of this wood do not desire to go:
    Thou shalt remain here, whether thou wilt or no.
    I am a spirit of no common rate;
    The summer still doth tend upon my state.
    • The trope is dodged at the last minute when Bottom decides that being held captive by a pretty, sexually ravenous goddess isn't such a bad deal, and offers no further protest. To be sure, Titania isn't herself, but the scene of her capturing Bottom is never played as anything but hilarity, not say, kidnapping and sex slavery. Also in the play, there's the fact that Demitrius threatens to rape Helena if she doesn't stop following him around and this is pretty much glossed over, with the two ultimately being Happily Married at the end, so the Double Standard doesn't sting as much.
  • Venus & Adonis. "Backward she push'd him, as she would be thrust." Thank you, Shakespeare. Originally from Ovid's Metamorphosis.
  • In Moulin Rouge!, scenes where women push sex on men who are not interested are seen as awkward at worst, but scenes where men attempt to push sex on women are seen as violent and horrifying.
  • In an example blending slightly with Rape Is Okay If It's Divine On Mortal, Prior of Angels In America seems strangely blasé, especially given he's in love with someone and gay, about how an angel fucked him with her eight vaginas when recounting the tale to his friend Belize. But, after the hell of a time he had in the entire first act leading up to the angel's arrival, maybe he was just too jaded to care by then.

    Video Games 
  • Bully: The protagonist helps the cafeteria lady slip sedatives to a male teacher; it is strongly implied that she aims to take him home and rape him. Imagine the Moral Guardians reaction if the sexes were reversed.
  • In Super Robot Wars Z; one of the Original Generation, Xine Espio, hints at wanting to commit night rape, if her battle quotes are to be trusted.
  • Fallout 3 has one quest - A Nice Day for a Right Wedding - where you help a young woman drug the man she has a crush on with an aphrodisiac so she can effectively force him into wanting her. And it is treated as a good thing, netting you a boost to your karma! The only NPC who even knows about the drug is the one who wanted to marry the victim. The victim actually blames himself, since as far as he knows he lost control of himself and raped her. He marries her thinking it's the only right thing he can do at this point, but is obviously traumatised by the whole thing. The cherry on the whole Moral Dissonance sundae is that the victim IS A PRIEST who has chosen a life of celibacy and service and made it abundantly clear that is what he wants from his life!
    • In the quest The Nuka-Cola Challenge, a hopelessly naive woman asks the player to gather a rare (presumably addictive) flavor of cola for her, which would generate good karma upon completion. Then her only neighbor asks the player to sell the bottles to him instead, so he can use them in an attempt to seduce her, but doing so gives the player bad karma. It's true that the guy is a little sleazy, but he has so far taken "no" for an answer and his most aggressive plan is to give her a gift she already wants and then hope she changes her mind. So, the takeaway is that enabling an addiction for money is a good thing, but enabling an addiction for sex is a bad thing. In a Zig-Zag, giving him some seductive pyjamas from a side quest to assist him in pairing up with the girl is considered a good thing, despite that she doesn't understand the sexual Hurricane of Euphemisms. Perhaps he should ask "Do You Want to Copulate?" instead.
  • Averted in MOON when main character Ikumi is forced to relive a memory of her raping her boyfriend in high school. Ikumi can try to argue that Rape Is OK When It Is Female on Male, but then she will be forced to relive the memory from the boy's point of view and feel the shame and disappointment that the boy felt.
  • Karura in Utawarerumono. First, she gets Hakuoro to agree to help her country out. That's nice. But then as 'paying' him, she drugs him into having sex with her, and later when confronting Suwonkas she starts groping and kissing him in an attempt to piss Suwonkas off. And also because she just wanted to. Now imagine if these roles had been reversed.
  • Yuusha Kara Wa Nigerarenai by Illusion is the sort of inversion to Battle Raper that a company annoyed by the Rapelay controversy would release. The player character is a demon prince being stalked, assaulted, and raped by a variety of Action Girls seeking to seal his power. Oddly for an H-game, the object is to avoid the H-scenes, though there's the option to have sex with your older sister to feel better.
  • In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas C.J. is tied up and raped by Cesar’s Ax Crazy cousin Catalina during a Cut Screen. She thinks C.J is her boyfriend but he is only working with her because she helps him get money by robbing place. C.J. begs her to stop and Catalina is depicted as being crazier than a shithouse rat, and it plays Rape as Comedy as much as anything. Afterwards C.J. is visibly disturbed but keeps working with her, and she ends up being a Karma Houdini and runs away in the end with some poor mute named Claude (the guy from GTA 3). Of course, considering she is the Big Bad in another game, this was a Forgone Conclusion.
  • Averted in Viper f40, a series of games which often feature rape in practice. A female detective named Lilia and her boyfriend, Mark, are accosted in their hotel room by a group of criminals, consisting of a few men, but led by a woman (Saki). While the men gang rape Lilia, Saki has her way with the boyfriend. Both are forced to watch as the other is violated, and the whole event is played as a tragedy. And it's far from the last rape in the game.
  • In the Capcom VS Whatever series of games, Morrigan has a new super move named Eternal Slumber. Succubus nature aside, she's the protagonist of Darkstalkers and frequently portrayed as a hero.
  • This is one of the many, many possible ways to die in Leisure Suit Larry 2: Looking for Love (In Several Wrong Places), where Larry wins a pleasure cruise for two, but has to share a cabin with an elderly woman who will instantly rape Larry the first chance she gets.
  • Sharin No Kuni: Ririko's playing with Kenichi is treated as a mere quirk of hers instead of as a borderline pedophilliac action. It's borderline not because he isn't a little kid, but because her own age is rather hard to determine. But this is treated as one of her many quirks and she's even one of his romance options. The portrayal is quite different from the abuse that Natsumi went through.
  • Subverted in Dragon Age: Origins. There are rumors about Morrigan's mother Flemeth and that she kidnaps men to have her way with them. It's only mentioned in passing at first and not enough detail is given to determine whether or not it was definitely rape, but later on it's hinted that it was a rather horrible experience and that she kills them afterwards.
  • Star Control II has a part where a Syreen captain (a Green-Skinned Space Babe, essentially) turns off the lights and proposes to have some 'fun' with you. Even if you outright refuse, she'll still have her 'fun' whether you want it or not.
    Oh, Captain... I would never think of doing something unpleasant to you... quite the opposite in fact.
  • Completely averted and not played for laughs in F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin. Poor Becket...

    Visual Novels 
  • Averted in Kara no Shoujo. Shinji is quite emotionally scarred by the issue, which is not helped by the fact that he accidentally killed his rapist, also known as his mother.
  • Shiki's dreams of Arcueid in Tsukihime. Actually a subversion as not only is it seen as a dumb (and humiliating/very inappropriate) move on Arcueid's part, he calls her on it and explains very pointedly that that is not the way to thank someone. Also played with in that Arcueid didn't intend for the dream to take the form of a sexual assault and just wanted him to have pleasant sex dream with whoever he subconsciously wanted...not realizing that not only are Len's dreams rather too realistic (meaning Shiki reacted in a completely normal fashion to X girl showing up in his room), but she's also not one to give up just because a dream is turning out badly.
    • And then in the 'sequel', Kagetsu Tohya, Len does it to him again. Only this time, she's in her true form... that of a ten-year-old girl. And he cares even less. It's implied this time that she was just having an Erotic Dream about him and her powers were making it real, so she didn't do it on purpose. Doesn't really change the fact she did it on purpose the first time...

    Webcomics 
  • Arthur, King of Time and Space averts this somewhat. King Pelles gets Lancelot (are there really spoilers for the Arthurian romances anymore?) drunk so his daughter Elaine can have her way with him, since they both come from very "holy" bloodlines, and Pelles wants to unite those lines - but Lancelot wants to stay celibate (before his affair with Guenevere begins). Since the comic places the Arthur story in different time periods, we see the reactions of:
    • The far past (the medieval/"fairy tale" arc), where Guenevere is just as jealous and enraged at Lancelot as if he'd been sober and consenting when he lost his virginity;
    • The present day, where the rape doesn't happen but the topic of female-on-male rape comes up, specifically Lancelot being uncertain a man "can" be raped, while Guenevere assures him a man can; and
    • The far future, where Guenevere personally arranges for Lancelot's counseling after the fact. All this meant to show the progress of social attitudes towards rape and the personal attitudes of the characters if they'd been brought up in different times and places.
  • In Something Positive, one of the characters rapes Davan while he's too drugged out to consent. In fact, his very helplessness and inability to defend himself or know what was happening was what turned her on. Was also Rape as Comedy. It is mentioned by Davan that people have different reactions, and that some would feel violated. He goes on to mention that that's absolutely their right. Since Davan wouldn't exercise it, some of the other cast members did instead (though not as violently as usual.) He also regrets being unable to remember the sex, as he would have readily consented otherwise, and the lack of informed consent is the only reason it falls under this trope.
  • Subverted in Bizarre Uprising when a male character is raped, and the logic that because he is aroused means he wants it is used explicitly. See the comic here.
  • Subverted by Girls with Slingshots. Candy tries to rape Chris, and he maces her. His friend Jameson initially reacts as if this trope is in effect, but Jameson gets shot down very quickly as the other characters console Chris and make sure Candy understands that her actions were wrong. Also, in the aftermath of a crossover with Something Positive, Candy seems to have an unrequited crush of Davan (see above)....
  • In the final panel of this Questionable Content comic, Faye and Sarah discuss how shy, submissive boys fantasize about being raped. They're probably joking, but it still explains a lot, doesn't it?
  • Dominic Deegan reveals that this happened on his first date with Rachel Hart. Not only does he not get any sympathy, but his friendship with her doesn't seem in any way tarnished.
  • Agressively averted in Peter Is The Wolf, when tsundere (or maybe yandere) Becca Kidnaps Peter, ties him to a bed, and gives him an erection. Peter makes a point of talking about how his penis is lying, and Becca barely gets herself penetrated before she stops, removes herself and starts to break down. The situation is...complicated. See the comic's page.
  • In the Oglaf "Purity is Strength" arc (NSFW), the thief rapes two monks who derive their power from their chastity in order to steal some jewels. The comic plays the humor pretty evenly as far as gender goes doesn't seem to discriminate much in using Rape as Comedy between male or female victims. Note the Pork Chisel comic.
  • Sexy Losers plays it straight with the "Kenta's Horny Mom" strips, where the mother lusts after her son... but is then lampshaded with a Gender Swap, to point out just how wrong it really is... and appropriately titled "Gender Incrimination", and is definitely NSFW.
    Touro Maebshi: (post-beating) I don't understand... it was funny when it was a mom and her son. It's the same fucking joke.
  • Pibgorn is all over the map on it:
    • One of the protagonists plays it straight: Drusilla is a succubus who visits sleeping men and gives them embarrassing erotic dreams while sucking out their life force, leaving them confused upon awakening, and sometimes their wives more than curious about what sounds they were making in their sleep. She insisted a college professor resist her wiles to make her work for it. He promptly summoned a suit of knight's armor only for her to show up, pull him down inside the armor and cause enough sparks to fly that she was left momentarily woozy.
    • Averted when Drusilla's daughter Henmellyn decided to exact revenge on her mother by seducing Geoff (not realizing Geoff was no longer Dru's boyfriend). When he's clearly not interested in willingly "betraying" Dru, she K.O.'s him and tries to seduce him with an erotic dream of the two of them dressed in Loin Cloth, his arms and legs chained and hoisted up in the air as she climbs over him. His real girlfriend, the title character, interrupted the whole thing before it got too far and gave Henmellyn a serious clobbering.
    • A hard-to-pin-down example occurs in the "Lena the Horrible" arc: In a computer-programmed VR world set in medieval times, an evil queen rapes, tortures and kills numerous soldiers including her own right hand man by tossing him out a window simply because she was horny and he was in the same room. Roger (who entered the game to find his bratty 8-year old sister Lena) and Satori are flat-out disgusted by her behavior; Dru is impressed. The queen later entertains the idea of deflowering Roger before killing him and gets the chance when she has Roger chained and naked in her dungeon. She slips off her robe to begin, only to see Roger's face up close: he's her brother; the queen is traumatized-adult-Lena, having been stuck in the program for 17 years that was only 2 days to the real world. The whole thing is played as a childish misadventure after she reverts back to her 8-year old (but still evil) self.
  • Played for Laughs and averted in Dubious Company. Raque's attempts to seduce/rape Elator were early clues that she was batshit crazy. The initial fan comments were of disgust and later relief when he manages to talk her out of it.
  • In Ménage à 3 Gary is tricked into giving oral sex to his favorite porn star when she makes him think she's his male roommate in drag (It Makes Sense in Context). When the deception is revealed nobody cares that this is a sex crime, not even Gary (though the porn star feels somewhat guilty).
    Gary: I am totally OK with this situation!

    Web Original 
  • Averted in the web-novel Perpetual Change. Not only was Severin sexually abused by his sadistic aunt as a child (which could have easily been the reason he's rather messed up mentally), it is strongly suggested that an instance of rape/abuse was the reason he went insane in the first place.
  • Whateley Universe: Sara simultaneously rapes and mind rapes Jobe, while transforming him into a female against his wishes. This is played for laughs despite the fact that his survival chance and that he is able to keep his mind/Memories intact were pretty low. She is also emotionally devastated and disgusted with what she did after the act. The creatures he creates to kill her before and after that Act are also one of the very few ways to grow strong enough to even have a any chance against her "relatives" when they arrive. This kind of crosses over into Rape Is Okay If It's Divine On Mortal / Omniscient Morality License territory, as in "it's OK because I'm a demon-goddess in training and my alien inhuman super-intelligence assures me that it's all for a good cause".
  • In Drow Fever, Koroko, the hero, initial plans on raping Arora, the heroine when he breaks into her home. His plans go off-track almost immediately due to him being a complete wimp. Although he believes Arora is going to kill him, she instead rapes him.
  • The SleepOver series (currently being redrawn) involves Sora of Kingdom Hearts being at a sleepover with several female Final Fantasy and KH characters. The girls take drugged food, so they all want to have sex with him. Sora's attempts to evade their amorous attentions are played largely for laughs. It is wildly popular. Given that many of the women there are capable of tying him in a knot if they wanted to, it's even closer to the genderflipped version than would otherwise be the case.
  • Averted by That Guy With The Glasses. It's still treated for laughs, but very dark ones. The Nostalgia Critic has a breakdown when The Nostalgia Chick announces she's made him pregnant after their G-Rated Sex (and her fondling him when he's chloroformed is played for creepy fanservice), Ask That Guy With The Glasses was scared shitless by a woman who got pregnant from raping him and takes his anger out on the child, and the Chick being okay with making love to a dead Todd in the Shadows if no other option is possible is just a sign of how nuts she's become.
  • In Gargoyles Abridged, Demona uses the mind control spell to make Goliath have sex with her. Goliath seems quite okay with this.

    Western Animation 
  • While more along the lines of "statutory rape is okay when it is female on male," South Park features a Deconstructive Parody of that particular Double Standard in which 2-year old Ike's 25-year old female teacher had regular sex with him. Although the adults in series are saying "nice" regarding Ike's sexual conquest in spite of Kyle's outraged outcry, the show itself presents this as sick. The kicker is that when Kyle first told the police that Ike was with an older person, they immediately went to the conclusion that Ike must have been raped by an older guy. When Kyle corrected them, all they had to say was "nice" and were only willing to arrest her when they thoughts he was ugly.
  • Surprisingly subverted in Family Guy, in which Lois rapes Peter. It's played out for comedic effect and other characters think Peter is totally pathetic for it, but he is notably disturbed by the whole thing.
    • Then used in a later episode, where Lois more explicitly rapes Peter after he takes up abstinence, and is portrayed as being completely right in doing so. Earlier in the episode, they made fun of Christian groups who advocate abstinence, and Lois even goes "Abstinence is wrong! Just...wrong!" Context Part of the satirization was the fallacious reasoning the group gave, including the one that convinced Peter, but it still uses this trope in a way that's tasteless even by Family Guy's standards.
    Peter: I'm abstinent, Lois. It's all in these pamphlets Meg brought home from school. Sex turns straight people gay and turns gays into Mexicans. Everyone goes down a notch.
    • In another aversion of this trope, Meg tries to rape a guy and at the end of the episode, she was being dragged off while her family completely ignored her. What throws this into the Rape as Comedy section is that Meg was trying to force herself onto a guy that had held her hostage and had threatened to kill her, to which her family ignored. She was being charged by the guy who had held her hostage.
    • And yet again in "Peter-assment", where Peter is being sexually harassed by his female boss and Lois utterly refuses to give him any sympathy, insisting that a man can't be sexually harassed because they like sexual behavior. He also catches flak from his friends (Quagmire saying that he can't not sleep with his boss or else he's gay) and the patrons at the local bar. Later on the boss admits that she's harassing Peter because she hasn't had sex in a long time, and the audience is expected to see this as acceptable and the boss as sympathetic. It also did not help that Peter's boss threatened to kill herself because she fears being alone any longer and feels having sex will make her life have some meaning again.
  • Dean Venture is nearly raped by the Quymn twins in Season 3 of The Venture Bros., but the trope itself is averted.
  • Tex Avery did this both times he showed Red, the Wolf and Grandma. It isn't pretty to watch these days, but as the Wolf was as aggressively amorous towards Red as the Grandmother was towards the Wolf it may have been intended as a Hoist by His Own Petard situation.
  • In the Futurama episode "Amazon Women in the Mood", in which Zapp Brannigan, Fry, and Kif are sentenced to "death by snoo-snoo" for trespassing in a Lady Land. Zapp and Fry don't object till it's gone on so long as to be painful, and have no ill effects besides their physical injuries, but apparently the writers couldn't bring themselves to be so cruel to Kif, who did object; he managed to evade his first assailant till rescue came.
    • In the episode "In-A-Gadda-Da-Leela", a planet-destroying sphere agrees to spare the Earth if Zapp and Leela (whom it mistakes for Adam and Eve) consummate their relationship. Zapp, who has spent the entire episode trying to trick Leela into sleeping with him again, ironically doesn't want to do it because everybody else is watching, but Leela forces him into it. Viewers (in-story) cringe.
  • The Disney version of The Sword in the Stone somewhat hints at this, when Wart and Merlin transform into squirrels and are aggressively pursued by two amorous she-squirrels. Once they become human again, one of the squirrels is terrified and the other heartbroken.
  • Even though it is caused by a combination of Getting Crap Past the Radar and Fridge Logic it seems that this happened to Transformers Generation 1 third season leader Rodimus Prime in the Humanity Ensues episode "Only Human". After being turned human by Cobra Commander under the orders of mob boss Victor Drath, a disoriented Prime escapes from Drath thugs with the help of Mafia Princess Michelle. It then cuts and her serving him breakfast the next morning and she reveals that she knows who he is and says she will help him, but then she turns him into her father. Logically there one reason why she would hide him from thugs the night before only to hand him over the next morning, and considering that Prime was disoriented, seemed uncomfortable in the morning, and that, unlike Sari, Daniel does not seem like the type that would explain how smaller organics were made it seems unlikely Rodimus would have given consent so Michelle would have logically raped him. Even though later in the episode when asked if he enjoyed being human Rodimus responded "maybe a little too much" and it showed a close up of the now handcuffed girl being led away by the police.
  • On Men In Black: The Series' 5th episode, a heavyset green female alien falls for the scent of Agent J*. She finally tackles him and pins him to the ground in order to mate with him. His partner, Agent K just chuckles and walks off, saying "Have a good time, kid."
  • In The Simpsons episode, "The Strong Arms of the Ma". After bulking up, Marge rapes Homer (who is clearly scared and doesn't want to) violently enough that it hurts to walk the next morning. It's played for laughs, with Marge never apologizing or repenting, and getting away with it.
  • Gorgeous Gal attempts to do this to Woody Woodpecker in the cartoon A Fine Feathered Frenzy. Gorgeous was a wealthy crow with a sultry voice. Woody was repelled because she was much larger and older than he was. Gorgeous Gal in turn couldn't keep her hands or lips off of him. She forces Woody to marry her and they sail off to their honeymoon so there's a chance she succeeds off camera.
  • Parodied in Metalocalypse when a group of female villains want to harvest lead-singer Nathan Explosion's "seed" in order to father a race of super-babies and kill him afterword. He is saved by Toki, but later laments in a way that invokes this trope
    Nathan: Such a shame, she was so hot. But so f*RIFF*kin' crazy.
    Toki: You just figures it out? All the hots ones is crazy!
    Nathan: Yeah, I guess you're right.
    Toki: And the ugly ones, too.
  • Superman: The Animated Series: Abduction Is Love occurs with Lady Maxima, alien ruler of Alermac who selected Superman as her mate after he defeats her in a fight. Superman tells her point blank that she can't just force someone into marriage; her response is to use her alien tech to knock him out and drag him back to her home planet before a citizen uprising derailed her marriage plans. Made even funnier when after Maxima finally gives up on seducing Superman, in crashes a new and amusingly more appropriate suitor.
