Basic Trope: Forcing two people into having sex with each other.

  • Straight: Alice forces Bob and Claire to have sex.
  • Exaggerated:
    • Alice forces Bob, Claire, Dan, and Ellie to have sex every day that she keeps them prisoner.
    • Alice forces Claire to rape Bob, a child.
    • Claire and Bob are siblings or parent and child.
    • Alice forces Brittany and Claire to have sex and uploads the footage online.
  • Downplayed:
    • Alice forces Bob and Claire to kiss.
    • Bob and Claire are okay with having sex, just not with Alice watching.
  • Justified:
    • Alice is The Peeping Tom.
    • Alice is making porn of her prisoners.
    • Alice is a crazy shipper, and really thinks Bob and Claire would be good together—and that if she gives them this "push", they will genuinely fall in love.
  • Inverted: Bob and Claire are kept in the same cell, and have sex. Alice is horrified.
  • Subverted: Alice tells Bob and Claire that she is going to force them to have sex, but she was just bluffing to scare them or to mess with their heads.
  • Double Subverted: …but when someone calls her bluff, Alice goes through with it.
  • Parodied: ???
  • Zig Zagged: Alice forces Bob and Claire to have sex, but unbeknownst to her, they are lovers and had been trying to figure out how to have sex ever since Alice kidnapped them.
  • Averted:
    • No one has sex.
    • Alice rapes Bob and Claire herself.
  • Enforced: "Bob and Claire are never going to resolve their Unresolved Sexual Tension unless someone makes them!"
  • Lampshaded: ???
  • Invoked: Alice decides to make Claire and Bob have sex because she saw it on TV once.
  • Exploited: ???
  • Defied: Claire and Bob refuse and accept whatever threat Alice made.
  • Discussed: ???
  • Conversed: ???
  • Deconstructed: All the horrors of rape are fully explored. Bob and Claire discuss at great length how they feel about the incident, each other, and their true rapist, Alice.
  • Reconstructed: Both Bob and Claire are traumatized and vengeful, and end up overthrowing Alice.
  • Implied: Claire and Bob escape from Alice's lair traumatized and naked but otherwise unharmed.
