{{trope}}

'''Shuichi:''' Bastard. I know you like my ''ass'', but what about my ''heart''?|''[[Gravitation]]'' manga}}

 

 

Also see [[Sex Equals Love]] which sometimes overlaps with this, though the focus here is on whether the sex or flirting is motivated by love or not.

{{examples}}

 

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==

* Early on in the ''[[Gravitation]]'' manga, Shuichi confronts Yuki on his sleeping around with women even after he's agreed to take Shuichi as his lover, demanding to know where he stands among all these women. Yuki replies that he's the first one... in stupidity, anyway. Later events prove that he really does care for Shuichi as more than a sex toy, though.

* ''[[Berserk]]:'' Casca seems to imply this after she and Guts {{spoiler|made love}} when he returned to aid the Hawks one year after he had left. He told her his plans of leaving again after their leader Griffith was rescued, which left Casca thinking of Guts as a selfish bastard who was ready to leave and forget about her in a pin drop. Then {{spoiler|he told her to come with him.}} Cue in dumbfounded expression on Casca's part.

** This trope was then deconstructed and played for horror during the Eclipse when {{spoiler|Casca is being horrifically raped by Griffith, and it is done so right in front of Guts. While Griffith, now as his demon alter ego Femto, [[I Have You Now, My Pretty|is molesting and raping her]] in nearly ''every way possible'', he is not actually looking at Casca at all - rather, [[Kubrick Stare|he's staring at Guts THE ENTIRE TIME]], as this horrible act was aimed at hurting Guts the most. After he's finished with Casca, he merely lets her drop to the ground as [[Break the Cutie|an exhausted and defeated woman]].}}

* Loretta Chase's ''Mr. Impossible''. Daphne thinks that [[Loveable Rogue]] Rupert's shameless come-ons to her are only his standard way of playing around with women. It isn't until near the end of the novel that Rupert realizes that love is the reason why his feelings for Daphne are more complex than wanting to get her naked, and is finally able to enter into an actual relationship with her.

* In ''[[Hero Series|Heroes Adrift]]'' Lee finally gets sexually involved with her [[Urban Legend Love Life]] partner Taro. This scene is definitely likely to happen in the next book, seeing as she went into it expecting to get dumped when he finds other women to boink.

'''Pellaeon''': You don't believe that any more than I do. Thrawn wasn't human, you know, no matter how human he might have looked. He was an alien, with alien thoughts and purposes and agendas. Perhaps I was never more to him than just one more tool he could use in reaching his goal. }}

 

** Spike also accuses Buffy of this once they start sleeping together. [[Destructive Romance|He is entirely correct.]]

* In ''[[Spaced]]'' Twist asks Brian that she wants him to see her as a whole. When he assures her he does, she stresses "A ''whole Brian, with a w.''"

* In ''[[Gossip Girl]]'', Blair wonders if the only reason Chuck has been pursuing her so tenaciously is because he can't stand losing. He confirms that it was all just a game to him. He's lying through his teeth.

holy cow, I think he's gonna make it! }}

** Which makes that a ''hell'' of a time to stop and have a relationship talk.
