History Main / DuelOfSeduction

* In ''Series/{{Firefly}}'', a good one between Inara and Saffron. Both recognize what is going on.

'''Inara''': You're amazing, who are you?\\

** Steve Trevor had been working on seducing Dolly Dancer, a Nazi spy who was dating him to get information and didn't realize he knew who she was really working on, before he'd ever met Diana.

* Alluded to in ''Anime/YuriOnIce'': Yuri, for a figure skating performance on the theme of "Eros" (sexual love) imagines the story of a Casanova who comes to town to seduce the most beautiful woman there. Since Yuri cannot emphathize with the womanizer, he gives the story a twist--the beautiful lady turns the tables on the Casanova and seduces him--and Yuri then plays the woman's part in his figure skating performance.

* PlayedForLaughs in the ''Series/{{Friends}}'' episode "The One Where Everybody Finds Out". Rachel and Phoebe have just found out about Monica and Chandler's secret relationship. Phoebe flirts with Chandler to mess with them, but Monica and Chandler find out and get back at them by playing along. Chandler invites Phoebe over to have sex and they each try to scare the other person away with their advances, with Monica encouraging Chandler and Rachel encouraging Phoebe. It becomes very awkward since they are both repulsed by the idea.

* ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic'' plays the hell out of this one in the trial scene on Manaan. It starts as a straight up version of this, then gets interesting.

* Espada Love of ''Manga/MakenKi'' ends up in a very much NSFW version of this with one heads of Orochi during the series finale. Her opponent is a perverted monstrous women, who curiously looks almost exactly like her. Their particular duel of seduction is closer to a sex-off where both use their abilities to turn the other into a puddle of lust and desire.
