The Wall Pin of Love is a very popular staple in works of the [[ShoujoDemographic Shojo]] and [[YaoiGenre Yaoi]] genre. Many news outlets have reported that it is the "ideal" scenario for many Japanese women. Despite this, the Wall Pin of Love can lead to UnfortunateImplications because the emotional and physical intimidation is common in domestic abuse. Because of how frequent and popular it is in Eastern works, there may be ValuesDissonance involved in how it's accepted. People in the West are more likely to see the Wall Pin of Love as anything but romantic.

This trope is better known to the Japanese public as the "kabe don" (wall pound). It's when a character (usually AlwaysMale) physically corners a LoveInterest using the body to block any chance of escape. It's often accompanied with a "BAM!" sound effect from pounding the wall. The Wall Pin Of Love is often PlayedForDrama and [[UnresolvedSexualTension increases tension]] between the characters. It may be given with an AnguishedDeclarationOfLove or a ForcefulKiss from the person doing the Wall Pin. May also lead to WallBangHer. A well-known parody of this originating in the Japanese Twitterverse was known as the [[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/cicada-block "semi don"]] (cicada block), and was subject to much MemeticMutation.

Outside of a romantic context, the Wall Pin can simply be used to intimidate people. A LoanShark might use it when he doesn't get his money. However, if it's simply a NeckLift applied to a wall or shoving a person into the wall, then it doesn't count. The Wall Pin has to involve someone trapping another with the body. In less serious works, this may be PlayedForLaughs by [[ImaginedInnuendo having the victim assume they're being flirted with]].
