The ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' could do with expansion, since it's a setting-wide thing.

* In the Franchise/{{Nasuverse}}, bodily fluids can be used as a medium for {{Mana}} transfer, with sex being the most efficient method. This is often, but not always, [[PornWithPlot used as an excuse to add sex scenes]]. The [[BleachedUnderpants all-ages editions]] of these media tend to downplay this for obvious reasons.
** In VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}}, the twins Kohaku and Hisui are "Synchronizers" who carry large amounts of {{Mana}} that can be transferred to others, [[spoiler:which has the side effect of suppressing the [[InTheBlood "inversion impulse"]] in those with demon ancestors]]. For most of the story they use this ability by allowing others to drink their blood, but if Shiki becomes close enough to one of the twins he can have sex with them for this purpose. In the BackStory, [[spoiler:this transfer was carried out [[RapeAsBackstory against their will]]]].
** In ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'', Shirou must have sex in order to transfer some of his Magic Circuits to Saber (in the ''Fate'' route) or to receive part of Rin's Magic Crest (in the ''Unlimited Blade Works'' route). BleachedUnderpants adaptations replaced these with the infamously bizarre "mana dragon" and "mana dolphin" scenes respectively. In the True End of ''Heaven's Feel'' [[spoiler:Shirou's mind is placed in an artificial body which requires regular mana infusions from Sakura to sustain itself]].
** ''Manga/FateKaleidLinerPrismaIllya'' uses a {{Bowdlerised}} version of this PlayedForLaughs, with Kuro draining {{Mana}} from others through French kisses. When Illya asks if Kuro has any other means of transferring mana, we don't hear Kuro's response but it causes Illya to turn red.

There's other cases of using sex to do mystical stuff, but I can't remember the details right now.
