Basic Trope: A character who derives pleasure from being tortured, sexual or otherwise.
- Straight: Emperor Evulz attempts to get Bob to talk through shocking him repeatedly with 2000 volts. Bob is moaning and writhing in pleasure.
- Exaggerated: Evulz sets it to 1,000,000 volts. Bob is grunting and hollering for more and has jizzed in his pants.
- Downplayed:
- Evulz attempts Tickle Torture and Bob, giggling, tells him he should get more feathers.
- Evulz punches him in the face repeatedly to torture him and Bob asks him to try harder next time.
- Evulz gives a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown, Bob asks him to stop and said it's starting to get old.
- Bob simply doesn't feel pain, so Evulz' torture doesn't matter to him.
- Justified:
- Bob is a Combat Sadomasochist who enjoys inflicting pain and receiving pain, even in bed.
- Bob's supernatural Healing Factor also floods his body with endorphins.
- Bob is only pretending to be to get a psychological advantage.
- Inverted:
- At the very mention of the electrical shock, Bob caves in and agrees to any of Evulz' terms, all the while kneeling, shivering and about to break into tears.
- Evulz tries to seduce Bob by massaging and kissing him gently on the neck... and Bob feels like he's being tortured because he doesn't like feeling comfortable physically or because even that leaves him in pain.
- Bob can't get off, upon receiving physical pleasure and comfort which makes you wonder how he's even able to have sex.
- Evulz ends up traumatizing himself by torturing Bob.
- Alice and Bob are Vitriolic Best Buds, and when Bob's teasing goes a little too far, Alice gets back at him.
- Subverted:
- Bob fakes an orgasm before remarking "Okay, this actually hurts."
- Bob looks to be enjoying it but it turns out that they are hysterical involuntary reactions akin to Laughing Mad. It becomes apparent when he goes catatonic after the end..
- Double Subverted: It turns out it was a joke, and Bob tells Evulz to keep going.
- Parodied:
- Evulz cranks it up to a billion volts, then shoves 20 knives in his head, thighs, arms, and calves, then slices him in half. Bob tells him that it was the best climax he ever experienced and thanks Evulz for having made him come so hard.
- Evulz forces Bob to listen to Nickelback, and he enjoys it. So Evulz assumes that he must be a hardcore masochist even though Bob clearly isn't and just likes their music.
- The story takes place in a world where everyone fits this trope except for Evulz. When he tries to enforce world peace, people assume he's jealous that he's never had this kind of pleasure.
- When Evulz is defeated, Bob gets to take the torture device home. Nowadays, he uses it every night.
- Bob is immune to Evulz' torture (or any other kind of stimulus, really) because he's been divorced nine times. Evulz winces in sympathy.
- The Story parodies Fifty Shades of Grey during the torture scene.
- Alice manages to convince Bob to be part of her crusade by telling him how much pain he may suffer in battle. She may even keep him in line by threatening to not torture him as punishment.
- Zig Zagged: Bob laughs it off, then realizes this actually hurts... but it turns out he was thinking about something else, and laughs again, only to realize that Evulz turned up the torture dial, and this time he grunts in delight...
- Averted:
- Evulz has ways of making Bob talk besides torture, Truth Serum to name just one.
- Bob is just as susceptible to torture as everyone else is.
- Bob is not tortured, so we never find out whether or not he would get pleasure from it.
- Enforced:
- The writers realize Bob is too vanilla, even as an Action Hero and he needs a quirk.
- The writers have to establish why Torture Is Ineffective for Bob, and showing that he enjoys it would be a possible explanation.
- Lampshaded: "Keep slicing me up, I'm gonna come!!"
- Invoked: Bob purposely obtains a MacGuffin from Evulz so that Evulz will attempt to torture him.
- Exploited:
- After finding out about Bob's liking for pain, a Dominatrix proposes him to engage into some Safe, Sane, and Consensual BDSM action. He's quite happy to go along with it.
- Since Bob is kinky enough to enjoy torture, Evulz takes an alternate route and puts Bob through a rigorous run of it... and then offers to continue if Bob gives him the information he wants.
- Otherwise, Evulz just gives up and fucks Bob while torturing him in an Interplay of Sex and Violence, offering him more in exchange for information.
- Bob loves torture so much that when the team has to go undercover, Evulz tells his allies to pull out the whips and brands and roadblocks with random torture and keep an eye out for anybody that seems to be turned on by the horror.
- Defied:
- Evulz knows that Bob gets off on torture, so he tortures his friends in front of him instead.
- It's made immensely apparent that actual torture is very different from and a lot less pleasurable than Safe, Sane, and Consensual bondage.
- Evulz immediately refuses attempting to use torture when someone mentions it, knowing it's a waste of time with Bob. He just keeps him prisoner.
- Evulz utilizes something that Bob (and anybody else who's watching, including the audience) will not find sexually arousing at all, such as severing his genitals with a point-blank shotgun blast followed by cauterization. Cue Instant Soprano agonized shrieking from Bob.
- Evulz's torture methods do not require physical contact at all, let alone pleasurable physical contact: ripping off Bob's memories via Mind Rape after "softening him" by keeping him awake for a week straight with no food or water and only an auto-tuned remix of the "Barney the Dinosaur" soundtrack as company in the ultra-bright sound-proofed room is rather effective.
- Evulz shoots Bob full of painkillers and muscle relaxants and places him somewhere soundproof and very dark. It's super effective.
- Discussed: "Alright, Evulz is searching for us. If we get caught, I volunteer Bob for torture. He loves it."
- Conversed: "Damn! He jizzed his pants during torture... That's one kinky number we have here."
- Implied:
- Evulz grunts in frustration after walking out of a room as Bob is smiling contently and slowly falling into slumber, strapped to an electric chair that looks like it's been recently used.
- Bob is never seen being tortured, but when he's threatened with the idea of torture, he seems fairly excited about it.
- Deconstructed:
- By allowing the torture to happen Bob allows himself to get disfigured or killed.
- Bob's love of being tortured unnerves the rest of his team and (probably unfairly) label him the Token Evil Teammate just because of it.
- Reconstructed:
- Bob is able to weird out Evulz enough to leave him alone.
- Bob gets better.
- Bob gets his allies to accept his kink as just another part of who he is.
- Played For Laughs:
- Bob has been sent to a torture chamber with a mook. When Evulz checks on them a stressed out mook tells Evulz that he isn't being paid enough for this, and Evulz tells him he's not being paid at all and tells him to get back to work. The mook nervously looks at Bob who winks at him, and the mook shudders.
- Bob likes the torture so much, he disregards his quest and starts following Emperor Evulz around, pestering him for more. Emperor Evulz can't stand Bob and can't get rid of Bob no matter how much he tries.
- Alice Agony, Evulz's Torture Technician, falls for Bob as he is someone she can torture as much as she likes with little repercussions. She pulls a High-Heel–Face Turn on the sole condition that she is allowed to date Bob.
- Played For Drama:
- Bob writhes with pleasure during torture, but he's still bleeding badly, and before Evulz knows it, his Torture Technician has killed the poor fella.
- Bob is deeply ashamed of his masochistic joy at the prospect of being tortured, and doesn't want his friends to know about it. Evulz knows this, and uses his shame to torment him far more effective than the actual torture itself does.
- Evulz knows Bob gets off on torture and decides that it's useless to try to probe him for actual information—so he decides to use him as a guinea pig and hopes to find a method that will truly Break the Badass for future use.
- Bob being too kinky to torture is the mark of him being a Psycho for Hire Token Evil Teammate. Everything we had seem him do so far was him with his Mask of Sanity, and from this point onwards it's gone...
- Bob is upset and confused after he becomes sexually enthralled while being tortured.
- The cast Jerkass says that Bob brought the torture on himself by being a masochist.
- Played For Horror:
- The torture inflicted on Bob is brutal, gory, and the fact he is turned on by it only adds to the disgust.
- The torture inflicted on Bob to overcome his masochism is brutal and gory and outright nauseating. And when it finally works, there's people surrounding Bob that have passed out from the shock of being witness.
Get back to Too Kinky to Torture and hurt me harder!!
