TV:
* ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'': {{Enforced}} in "[[Recap/StarTrekDeepSpaceNineS04E06Rejoined Rejoined]]" as an allegory to closeted homosexuality. The episode has Jadzia Dax work with Lenara Kahn, another joined Trill. The Dax and Kahn symbionts were married in previous lifetimes, and the two women find that they're still strongly attracted to one another despite "reassociation" being a taboo in Trill culture.  [[spoiler:They ultimately do not stay together due to societal pressure.]]
* ''Series/StargateSG1'': After hosting the Tok'ra symbiont Jolinar in "[[Recap/StargateSG1S2E2InTheLineOfDuty In the Line of Duty]]", Samantha Carter inherits some of Jolinar's memories, which includes a romantic attraction to the Tok'ra operative Martouf, lover of Jolinar's previous host Rosha. Also {{inverted}}: Jolinar's memories complicate Sam's preexisting UnresolvedSexualTension with the Tollan diplomat Narim, with Sam telling him she's holding off on dating until she's more sure whether she's feeling things herself or because of Jolinar.
