* ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes2DesperateStruggle'': [[spoiler:Sylvia, despite [[KarmaHoudini avoiding comeuppance for]] [[ManipulativeBastard scamming Travis in the first game]], ''does'' make good on her promise to hook up with Travis, but instead of waiting for him to get to Rank 1, she visits him right before his fight with [[BigBad Pizza Batt, Jr.]]. [[SexyDiscretionShot Obviously, we don't see anything]], but their lovemaking is implied to be [[SexGoddess amazing]] thanks to her "[[FlexibilityEqualsSexAbility yoga skills]]". [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZO6nTaDDnFU See for yourself.]]]] In addition, this causes [[spoiler:a RelationshipUpgrade from a [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold brash and uncouth, but surprisingly gentle guy]] and a possessive and berating, yet sweet lady, with ''tons'' of UnresolvedSexualTension to the OfficialCouple. You can tell they're not just FriendsWithBenefits when Sylvia refers to Travis as "''my'' [[TitleDrop No More Hero]]". There's no word if Jeane (Sylvia's daughter [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse who only appeared in an epilogue from the first game]]) is their child though.]]

Knowing that they are about to face the final battle or some other potentially deadly or at least terrifying experience, two people finally consummate their affair. More loosely, it can be any character or characters having sex before some climactic moment in the story.

* In ''[[Literature/TheShipWho The City Who Fought]]'', Channa and Amos finally get to have sex just before the Kolnari invade, with Channa even hearing that there are forty-odd minutes before their ships dock and [[CoitusUninterruptus deciding that's enough time to finish]]. Later in the book, shortly before the inhabitants of the SpaceStation finally rise up in open defiance of the invaders, Channa decides to have sex with their SmugSnake leader, partially to [[KarmicSTD pass a disease to him]] and partially because she's curious. He takes about twenty minutes and she finds it tiring and dull, as he's not concerned about anything but his own ego and [[BreedingCult spreading the Divine Seed]].

* Reese and Sarah Connor did this in ''Film/TheTerminator'', and [[TheChosenOne their son]] was created because of it.

* In ''LightNovel/Overlord2012'' Crusch and Zaryusu have sex before the battle against Cocytus since Crusch wants to have Zaryusu's child and knows he will probably die. [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Ainz accidentally spies on them with a magic mirror during the act]] and the trope is lampshaded.

* In Svetlana Alexievich’s ''The Unwomanly Face of War'', one of the interviewees mentions an incident where a group of soldiers had to break out of German encirclement and some female soldiers slept each of them in turn. The Soviet censor refused to allow this anecdote because [[MadonnaWhoreComplex their women were nothing like that]].
