History Main / LivingAphrodisiac

This sudden rush of hormones and {{Pheromones}} is generally due to the fact that TheVamp is the episode's MonsterOfTheWeek and is using the good guys' sex drives to distract them from her dastardly plan. She usually does this in secret, but if her pheromones are strong enough, the heroes can know exactly what's going on and not care.

* In ''Manga/KillingBites'', Brute Civet has the ability to disperse {{Pheromones}} into her surrounding area. Not only does it cause intense feelings of lust in the victims, it also causes them to temporarily FeelNoPain.

* A villain named Mr. Fear (usually associated with ''Comicbook/{{Daredevil}}'') specializes in {{Pheromones}} that cause... well, fear. However, he once experimented with others, including one that makes men irresistible to women, and used it to try to convince Betty Brant to kill ComicBook/SpiderMan. Seeing as he tends to be an IneffectualSympatheticVillain, it didn't turn out too well.

* In the ''Literature/{{Ringworld}}'' novels by Creator/LarryNiven, "vampires" are a nearly mindless branch of the Pak (ancestors of humans, and also of every humanoid species on the Ringworld) that secrete {{Pheromones}} which are "close enough" to affect all other Pak-descendants (it's implied there are some hallucinogenic properties as well). The pheromone-fueled orgy that follows serves as a distraction to allow the vampires to feed.

-->''There is, for some unfathomed reason, something almost unbearably sexy about having huge fire-breathing magical dragons flying low about the sky on moonlit nights which were already dangerously on the sweet and fragrant side... No sooner would a flock of half a dozen silk-winged leather-bodied Fuolornis Fire Dragons heave into sight across the evening horizon that half the people of Brequinda were scurrying off into the woods with the other half, there to spend a busy breathless night together and emerge with the first rays of dawn all smiling and happy and still claiming, rather endearingly, to be virgins, if rather flushed and sticky virgins. Pheromones, some researchers said. Something sonic, others claimed.''

* ''Series/TheOrville'' has Darulio, a rare male example. His species of RubberForeheadAliens secretes {{Pheromones}} that works on other species as well, causing them to become romantically obsessed with them. This worked on both Kelly ''and'' [[EvenTheGuysWantHim Ed Mercer]], although it's further complicated in that he claims it's something he can't control (the pheromones are not being secreted around the clock), and [[FreeLoveFuture his people's customs]] mean it would be ''insulting'' for him to turn down an offer of sex. The pheromones were also unintentionally transferred to the alien blob Yaphit, causing Dr. Finn to throw herself at him.
* An episode of ''Series/SpecialUnit2'' deals with a [[DifferentlyPoweredIndividual Link]] who emits powerful {{Pheromones}} when scared (it's stated that Links like that are the inspiration for the Cupid myth). He ends up doing it outside a courthouse, and the pheromones (besides causing everyone around him to start making out with strangers) cause a HangingJudge to suddenly start letting hardened criminals go free. The team has to find the Link and get him to undo the effect on the judge before a high-profile criminal is set free.

* Guardian parahumans in ''TabletopGame/{{GURPS}}: Bio-tech'' have a combination of Sex {{Pheromones}} and [[PowerPerversionPotential Dominance Pheromones]]. They're specifically designed to be masters of normal humans.

* Larvae in ''VideoGame/{{Vangers}}'' are this to [[HalfHumanHybrid Bios]]. Immortal, wormlike creatures originally used by Crispo, [[InsectoidAliens insectoid predecessors of Bios]], to control the HiveMind, were eventually forgotten after the Bios have managed to seal themselves away from Crispo. It is not clear if they can even work on humans, but for Bios, they are exactly this trope; the fact that even the dirt drenched by their {{Pheromones}} is a FantasticDrug for Bios says something.

* In ''Webcomic/SteelCityMoon,'' werewolves release {{Pheromones}} that make them incredibly attractive to the opposite sex the day before they transform. (And possibly more ''attracted,'' considering that the amount of PG-rated MaleGaze that coincides with this.) To his credit, protagonist Justin is much more concerned with avoiding girls during these periods than trying to take advantage of the situation.

* On ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice,'' [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen Queen Bee]] has the power to control "[[GettingCrapPastTheRadar most men and some women]]." WordOfGod confirms that it's {{Pheromones}} based on sexual attraction.

[[folder:Web Comics]]

This trope is when LoveIsInTheAir is caused by the presence of an alien or fantastic creature, and works like a more passive version of AliensMadeThemDoIt. It's generally a first-season ploy by sci-fi shows to get ratings through sex. Can also be {{Fanservice}}. For the single-target version, see {{Pornomancer}}. Also NotRightInTheBed.

* There are a few examples in the Franchise/StarWarsExpandedUniverse. ''ComicBook/MarvelStarWars'' introduced Zeltrons, redskinned near-humans who had {{Pheromones}}, emotion-affecting abilities, and attraction to Force-Sensitives.

* In the erotic comedy ''Rock 'n' Roll Babes From Outer Space'' by Linda Jaivin, the Nufonians have this effect the moment they land on Earth, including SuddenlySexuality (though they ''are'' landing on Sydney's Oxford Street). It's mentioned that while the Nufonians no longer [[GodGuise had temples put up to them]], they could still make an impression.

* ''Series/{{Smallville}}'': Desirée Atkins, the [[MonsterOfTheWeek Freak of the Week]] of "[[Recap/SmallvilleS02E02Heat Heat]]", qualifies. She uses her powers to enslave men to her will, [[GoldDigger marry the rich ones]] and then manipulating another one into killing her husband so she can [[BlackWidow inherit their money]]. Curiously, she is played by the [[ActorAllusion same actress]] from the ''Series/MutantX'' example.

* In ''Manga/KillingBites'', Brute Civet has the ability to disperse pheromones into her surrounding area. Not only does it cause intense feelings of lust in the victims, it also causes them to temporarily FeelNoPain.

* A villain named Mr. Fear (usually associated with ''Comicbook/{{Daredevil}}'') specializes in pheromones that cause... well, fear. However, he once experimented with others, including one that makes men irresistible to women, and used it to try to convince Betty Brant to kill ComicBook/SpiderMan. Seeing as he tends to be an IneffectualSympatheticVillain, it didn't turn out too well.
* Emily Crowe from ''ComicBook/DesolationJones'' underwent an experiment to augment her pheromone production, but it [[GoneHorriblyWrong backfired]] and she now triggers [[BrownNote fear and revulsion]] [[PowerIncontinence in everyone she meets.]]

* ''Film/StarTrekTheMotionPicture'' had Ilia, a Deltan who emits sexual pheromones that can create reactions in other species. Unfortunately [[AllThereInTheManual you'd have to read the novelisation]] to realise why men are acting strangely around her, as this is never mentioned in dialogue.

* In the ''Literature/{{Ringworld}}'' novels by Creator/LarryNiven, "vampires" are a nearly mindless branch of the Pak (ancestors of humans, and also of every humanoid species on the Ringworld) that secrete pheromones which are "close enough" to affect all other Pak-descendants (it's implied there are some hallucinogenic properties as well).

* There are a few examples in the Franchise/StarWarsExpandedUniverse. ''ComicBook/MarvelStarWars'' introduced Zeltrons, redskinned near-humans who had pheromones, emotion-affecting abilities, and attraction to Force-Sensitives.

* ''Series/MutantX'': Lorna (Creator/KristaAllen) the VillainOfTheWeek in "Deadly Desire", had her DNA spliced with that of a scorpion before she was born by Genomex. As a result, she can sprout deadly stingers from her wrists and release a pink pheromone gas from neck pores which cause men to become obsessed with her.
* ''Series/TheOrville'' has Darulio, a rare male example. His species of RubberForeheadAliens secretes pheromones that works on other species as well, causing them to become romantically obsessed with them. This worked on both Kelly ''and'' [[EvenTheGuysWantHim Ed Mercer]], although it's further complicated in that he claims it's something he can't control (the pheromones are not being secreted around the clock), and [[FreeLoveFuture his people's customs]] mean it would be ''insulting'' for him to turn down an offer of sex.

** The monster in the episode "[[Recap/TheXFilesS01E14GenderBender Genderbender]]" is this, seducing its prey with human pheromones, [[OutWithABang killing them with sex]], and [[GrandTheftMe assuming their identity]].

* Guardian parahumans in ''TabletopGame/{{GURPS}}: Bio-tech'' have a combination of Sex Pheromones and [[PowerPerversionPotential Dominance Pheromones]]. They're specifically designed to be masters of normal humans.

* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' had one in "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS1E4TeachersPet Teacher's Pet", that could turn into a huge praying mantis. It took a while for Xander to recover from that one.

** In episode "[[Recap/StargateSG1S1E13Hathor Hathor]]", a Goa'uld who has taken over the role of the Egyptian goddess of [[SexDrugsAndRockAndRoll Fertility, Music, and Inebriation]] finds her way into SG-1's base and turns every man there into crush-addled slave via [[LoveIsInTheAir some unknown brew of pheromones and other stuff]] before using [[CunningLinguist Daniel]]'s DNA (and by "using Daniel's DNA," we mean "making him have sex with her while under her mind control gas") to father her children.

* The bad girl in the movie ''Film/NightAngel'' is UsefulNotes/{{Lilith}}. After waking up from her slumber, she goes on a rampage supernaturally seducing and killing people left and right. She gets nearly the entire staff of a glam magazine to completely fawn over her (including the female editor) and one guy affected by her spell even shoves his foot through a broken glass door to get near her.

* In ''The Rapture'', ComicBook/LadyDeath is beset by two agents, one representing Hell and the other representing Heaven, who seek to sway her to their respective sides. While the Hell representative, Demonatrix, tries to use brute force to make Lady Death join the forces of Hell, the Heavenly agent, Aquiessence, instead tries to use her natural beauty and [[SmellsSexy intoxicating scent]] to seduce the death goddess. It works for a brief moment before Lady Death snaps out of it and promptly kills Aquiessence and Demonatrix both.

* In ''VisualNovel/{{Ookamikakushi}}'', Hiroshi Kuzumi is what's called a "Temptation" -- emitting a powerful scent that causes the [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent Kamibito]] to lose control of their bestial instincts and try to forcibly kiss him.

[[folder:Webcomic]]

* The Veela in ''Literature/HarryPotter'' have this effect on men. It's never exactly clarified whether male veela exist or what effect they have on women, but it's presumed they exist since Fleur Delacour, the most prominent veela character is identified as ''half''-veela.[[note]]This may simply be an error on Harry's part, however, since he's the only one who describes her as such. Fleur herself explicitly states that her grandmother was a veela; it's a strand of this grandmother's hair which forms the core of Fleur's wand. This means that Fleur is at least one-quarter veela, but it remains unknown whether she's more than that.[[/note]]

Examples of this trope affecting only men or only women can lead to questions regarding how they would affect gay, bisexual or transgender individuals.

[[quoteright:300:[[ComicBook/PoisonIvy https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tumblr_nya4zwruof1th1bxlo1_1280.png]]]]

!Examples:

* People do get "in the mood" during dragon mating flights in the ''Literature/{{Dragonriders of Pern}}'' series. All dragons have vast psychic power; so during a mating flight, their feelings influence anyone near them. This fact of life is why Weyrfolk have such a relaxed attitude towards sexual relations - it's unreasonable to expect people to remain chaste until marriage when they are frequently exposed to a LivingAphrodisiac over the course of their lives.

* [[AllThereInTheManual According to the backstory,]] [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Makai]]'s succubi, including Morrigan and Lilith, are able to magically generate intense and spontaneous lust in mortal humans (though how much this is magic and how much of them being sexy HornyDevils in {{Stripperiffic}} outfits is up for debate). [[OutWithABang Also, their bodily fluids cause instant death.]]

Examples of this trope affecting only men or only women can lead to questions and possible UnfortunateImplications regarding how they would affect gay or transgender individuals.

Sometimes, VampiresAreSexGods is a supernatural effect and used to lure {{Muggles}} to the [[VampireBitesSuck dinner table]]. HornyDevils are also fond of just straight-up enchanting their victims supernaturally before sucking out their soul.

* ''Manga/DiamondCutDiamond'' has the esper Yodogimi with the ability to use a pheromone-like smell labelled ''Temptation.'' It seduces all men in close vicinity that inhale it. She can make them do whatever she tells them to. It ''only'' works on men, which actually becomes a plot point multiple times.

* Sakie Satou of ''Manga/InterviewsWithMonsterGirls'' is a succubus. By her very nature she causes men to be attracted to her. This actually causes Sakie a lot of problems, since she just wants to lead a normal life. For example, she's reluctant to pursue love because she can never be sure if the other party is interested in ''her'' or if it's just her effect on them. Sakie is also forced to live in a remote area with no one else around because, while she can control it to a point with tricks like dressing as unattractively as possible, she has no control over her power when she sleeps, which can cause obvious problems were she to live in an apartment building. The only one she's seen unaffected by her natural attractions is Takahashi, who really just has ''amazing'' self-control and manages to hold himself back until she's out of sight.

* Several characters in Marvel comics can induce lust as a main or secondary power. Spider-Woman (Jessica Drew) has an involuntary version, while Starfox (Eros), the Mandrill and Daken have similar but controllable abilities. The Purple Man is ''widely'' despised, [[EvenEvilHasStandards even by many other villains,]] because he uses his broader mind-control abilities [[PowerPerversionPotential to accumulate sex slaves.]]

* The Franchise/{{Batman}} villain ComicBook/PoisonIvy has this as one of her powers.
* A villain named Mr. Fear (usually associated with ''Comicbook/{{Daredevil}}'') specializes in pheromones that cause... well, fear. However, he once experimented with others, including one that makes men irresistible to women, and used it to try to convince Betty Brant to kill ComicBook/SpiderMan. Seeing as he tends to be an IneffectualSympatheticVillain, it didn't turn out too well.

* Similar to Poison Ivy, ComicBook/TheMightyThor villain [[ComicBook/TheEnchantress Amora the Enchantress]] uses her magic primarily for seducing and manipulating males.

* ''Film/StarTrekTheMotionPicture'' had Ilia, a Deltan who emits sexual pheromones that can create reactions in other species. Unfortunately [[AllThereInTheManual you'd have to read the novelisation]] to realise why men are acting strangely around her, as this is never mentioned in dialogue.

* In ''Literature/SoLongAndThanksForAllTheFish'', the mythical Fuolornis Fire Dragons are said to have had this effect:
-->''There is, for some unfathomed reason, something almost unbearably sexy about having huge fire-breathing magical dragons flying low about the sky on moonlit nights which were already dangerously on the sweet and fragrant side... No sooner would a flock of half a dozen silk-winged leather-bodied Fuolornis Fire Dragons heave into sight across the evening horizon that half the people of Brequinda were scurrying off into the woods with the other half, there to spend a busy breathless night together and emerge with the first rays of dawn all smiling and happy and still claiming, rather endearingly, to be virgins, if rather flushed and sticky virgins. Pheromones, some researchers said. Something sonic, others claimed.''
* There are a few examples in the Franchise/StarWarsExpandedUniverse. ''ComicBook/MarvelStarWars'' introduced Zeltrons, redskinned near-humans who had pheromones, emotion-affecting abilities, and attraction to Force-Sensitives. ''Literature/ShadowsOfTheEmpire'' introduces the Falleen, reptilian humanoids with much more powerful "date-rape" pheromones. (The BigBad of the novel, Prince Xizor, is a member of this species; he has only partial success using this ability on Leia.)
* The Novelization of ''Star Trek: The Motion Picture'' explains that Ilia has this effect on humans. The movie itself just makes it look like Sulu has the hots for bald chicks.
* In ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'', vampires of the White Court can have this effect on humans in proximity. Whether or not they can ''control'' it is another matter entirely. Thomas in particular has a lot of trouble simply holding down a job, since he keeps getting assaulted by the amorous attentions of his coworkers, at which point the DoubleStandard kicks in and he gets fired because his bosses assume ''he'' started it. Their blood has a similar effect, "disabling" a pair of Harry's werewolf allies after they attack one.

* Michael in the ''Literature/StarShardsChronicles'' has this ability when possessed by his parasite. Women are preternaturally attracted to him, no matter the age gap or marital status of said woman (he is introduced to the story when another main character walks in on him making out with a teacher at school). There is a downside, however: [[spoiler:if he has sex, then his parasite will devour his partner's soul. And his sex drive is constantly set for maximum due to the parasite's influence]].

* The veela in ''Literature/HarryPotter'' have this effect on men. It's never exactly clarified whether male veela exist or what effect they have on women, but it's presumed they exist since Fleur Delacour, the most prominent veela character is identified as ''half''-veela.[[note]]This may simply be an error on Harry's part, however, since he's the only one who describes her as such. Fleur herself explicitly states that her grandmother was a veela; it's a strand of this grandmother's hair which forms the core of Fleur's wand. This means that Fleur is at least one-quarter veela, but it remains unknown whether she's more than that.[[/note]]

* Dutch author Creator/TaisTeng's book ''Dode Ogen'' (Dead Eyes) features an EvilSorcerer with an entourage of supernatural servants. One of these is a stunningly beautiful girl who embodies lust, to the point where the sorcerer himself is almost tempted to give up his immortality to lie with her. He mentions that she was actually a Mongolian prostitute who died of AIDS before he performed a ritual that turned her into a succubus-like being.

* In the ''Series/StargateSG1'' episode "Hathor", a Goa'uld who has taken over the role of the Egyptian goddess of [[SexDrugsAndRockAndRoll Fertility, Music, and Inebriation]] finds her way into SG-1's base and turns every man there into crush-addled slave via [[LoveIsInTheAir some unknown brew of pheromones and other stuff]] before using [[CunningLinguist Daniel]]'s DNA (and by "using Daniel's DNA," we mean "making him have sex with her while under her mind control gas") to father her children.

* On ''Series/TrueBlood'', Maryann has this effect on everyone around her. She's a maenad, a follower of Dionysus, and almost a god in her own right. She uses the orgies she creates around her to disguise her real intention: [[spoiler:bringing Dionysus into physical form]].
** All fullblooded faeries are this for vampires. Their smell alone can drive a vampire wild.
* ''Series/TheXFiles'':
** The monster in the episode "Genderbender" is this, seducing its prey with human pheromones, killing them with sex, and assuming their identity.
** And Jade Blue Afterglow from the episode "First Person Shooter" who was a stunningly gorgeous suspect in a murder case. She comes in for questioning in a tiny leather camisole/skirt combo, and every male in the precinct goes insane.
--->'''Mulder''' ''(after watching Jade Blue Afterglow saunter down the hall)'': I don't know about you, Scully, but I am feeling the great need to blast the crap out of something.
* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' had one in Season 1, that could turn into a huge praying mantis. It took a while for Xander to recover from that one.
* Desirée Atkins, the [[MonsterOfTheWeek Freak of the Week]] in the ''Series/{{Smallville}}'' episode "Heat", qualifies.
* Alisha on ''Series/{{Misfits}}'' has this as her superpower; she's able to drive anyone she touches into a state of lust. This is treated as BlessedWithSuck, though, as she can't even carry on a proper relationship with her boyfriend unless she wants to risk things entering rape territory.

** In ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'', the episode "The Perfect Mate" has a metamorph. She is a woman who, through deep empathy, is able to automatically become the perfect mate to any male. To say the very least, it is rather distracting to the men on board, including Captain Picard. It's not solely sexual, since she takes on the likes/dislikes/ideal attitudes for each man's ideal mate, but has the same effect.
** In ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'', Lwaxana Troi briefly became this in "Fascination" when she contracted some kind of Betazoid disease that spread her unrequited feelings for Odo to everyone around her on Deep Space Nine, turning [[UnresolvedSexualTension latent attractions]] into all-consuming desire.
* In the ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' episode "Sex and Violence", Sam and Dean are investigating a rash of murders committed by the victims' loving husbands or sons. They discover that a Siren is taking the form of each man's ideal woman, posing as a stripper, using her saliva to drive them crazy with love, and manipulating them into murder. However, things take a turn when [[spoiler: the Siren takes the form of a man]] and tries to get Dean to kill Sam.
* An episode of ''Series/SpecialUnit2'' deals with a [[DifferentlyPoweredIndividual Link]] who emits powerful pheromones when scared (it's stated that Links like that are the inspiration for the Cupid myth). He ends up doing it outside a courthouse, and the pheromones (besides causing everyone around him to start making out with strangers) cause a HangingJudge to suddenly start letting hardened criminals go free. The team has to find the Link and get him to undo the effect on the judge before a high-profile criminal is set free.
* Lorelei in ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'' is an Asgardian that can make men fall in love with her with her voice or touch. Most of her victims think they both love each other, but when she uses it on Ward he knows that she is using him and brainwashing him, he just doesn't care.

* "Idunna, the Exotic Wonder of the East" is a prostitute working at the Blooming Rose in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII''. She uses blood magic to enthrall people to provide information, obey her commands, and even kill themselves if their existence is inconvenient; she's been using it as part of a plot to overthrow the Templar Order in Kirkwall. And yes, she can use it to make them sleep with her too. [[PlayerCharacter Hawke]], however, is able to break free of her enchantment (either on their own or with the help of a mage companion), which scares the life out of her.

* A villain named Mr. Fear (usually associated with ''Comicbook/{{Daredevil}}'') specializes in pheromones that cause... well, [[CaptainObvious fear]]. However, he once experimented with others, including one that makes men irresistible to women, and used it to try to convince Betty Brant to kill ComicBook/SpiderMan. Seeing as he tends to be an IneffectualSympatheticVillain, it didn't turn out too well.

Later the Orion captain admits that actually men like him are the slaves, to these women. Fortunately MindLinkMates T'Pol and Trip are immune and so help take back the ship.

* In ''A Starstruck, Phantasmic Romance'', Ghosts from the Ghost Zone can cause Tamaranians to be more emotional. Because they think he's cute, Danny unintentionally causes Starfire and Blackfire to be ''very'' attracted to him.
