Bed Trick: Difference between revisions

[[File:y0207.jpg|link=Teen Titans (Comic Book)|thumb|400px|[[Double Standard Rape (Female on Male)|Pantha definitely has her priorities in order.]]]]

 

{{spoiler|'''Susan''': ''{transforms into a Skrull} "Dave! You idiot!"''}}

 

In order to have sex with Bob, Eve pretends to be Alice.

This is basically the definition of '''rape by deception''' (or rape by fraud), though that crime can also include acts like pretending to be a doctor and fondling someone. Not all areas recognize this crime, but in the U.S. under expanding federal definitions of rape to include any non-consensual penetration, it's very likely to be prosecuted in the same vein as all other forms of rape.

 

 

{{examples}}

* Sae poses as Momo and attempts to do this to Toji in ''[[Peach Girl]]''. It nearly works...until Toji turns the lights on...

* Attempted in episode 8 of ''[[Mawaru Penguindrum]]'', {{spoiler|when Ringo [[Slipping a Mickey|drugs a cake that Tabuki eats]] and then disguises herself as his fiancée.}} Luckily, she's stopped before anything can happen.

* Typhoid Mary pulls this on [[Deadpool]] by disguising herself as Siryn. He does not take it well.

* Brazilian newspaper comic ''Aline'' had one of the Aline's boyfriends disguising himself as her to trick a lesbian who had a crush on Aline.

* Mystique created a new identity in ''[[X-Men (Comic Book)|X-Men]]'' as a student known as Foxx, in order to seduce Gambit and break him and Rogue up. Later, when Gambit realizes who she is, she tries to seduce him again by taking Rogue's form and telling him that it wouldn't be cheating if they had sex while she appeared as Rogue.

** Mystique is fond of this trope. In a Nightcrawler backstory, Mystique shapeshifts into a frigid maid to sleep with the driver and convinces him to sneak into the castle later that night and asks him to wake her up with sex...All so she can watch the driver be thrown from the house after the maid screams rape when he crawls into her bed that night. He's fired, the maid is mentally scarred, and Raven thinks it's all hilarious.

* In the second issue of the 2011 relaunch of ''Voodoo'', the title (female) character shapeshifts into the (male) partner of Agent Fallon, whom Fallon is sleeping with and who Voodoo has just [[Kill and Replace|killed]]. Voodoo then goes back to Fallon's hotel room and sleeps with her, before the truth comes out the next morning. Though it is never described as 'rape,' and Fallon is more angry over the death of her lover, in issue #8, when Voodoo tries to claim that they shared a legitimate emotional connection, Fallon is quick to point out that she does not love Voodoo at all, and that was simply the bond that she had with her lover. {{spoiler|Voodoo admits that, yes, it was meaningless. She then kills Fallon}}.

* Cilla disguises herself as his student to have sex with [[Blade (Comic Book)|Blade]], but he doesn't do the deed willingly, there were other forces involved. The disguise was primarily to put him at ease, since he would have attacked her on sight otherwise.

 

== Film ==

* ''[[Face Off]]'': After Castor Troy has Sean Archer's face surgically grafted onto his head, he taunts Sean (who has Castor's face grafted on his) about how among other things, he'll have his way with Sean's wife. Later, he romances and seduces Sean's wife.

* In the ''[[Clash of the Titans]]'' remake, Perseus is born as the result of Zeus disguising himself as King Acrisius and sleeping with his wife Danae. Just as the real Acrisius enters the bedchamber, Zeus changes back with a smirk, having done the deed, turns into an eagle and flies off. Danae ''immediately'' gives birth, and Acrisius kills her in a fit of rage. He's about to do the same to baby Perseus, but standing on a cliff in the middle of a storm and waving your sword around like a lightning rod (while screaming insults to the gods) is not a very good idea.

 

== Literature ==

* Happens in ''[[Lamb: The Gospel According To Biff|Lamb the Gospel According To Biff]]'' with Biff and Maggie.

* In ''[[Hilary Tamar|The Sirens Sang Of Murder]]'' by Sarah Caudwell, one of the protagonists has an intimate rendezvous that gets interrupted by a power outage before it goes anywhere. It later transpires that, unbeknownst to him, the remainder of the rendezvous was with the ''other'' woman spending the night in that particular inn, and {{spoiler|that her husband -- who committed all the other murders in the book out of jealousy -- wants to murder him as well.}}

 

== Live Action TV ==

* In ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'', Faith slept with Riley while she was [[Freaky Friday Flip|in Buffy's body]]. This causes friction in Riley's and Buffy's relationship when Buffy finds out.

** {{spoiler|Athena pretends to be Boomer to seduce Helo into getting her pregnant on Caprica.}} Not too hard, since as the same model Cylon they look identical.

** The same principle is at work when later in the series {{spoiler|Boomer pretends to be Athena in order not to be found out by Helo, who wants to have some goodbye sex. [[Word of God]] is that she also did to spite Athena.}}

* Inverted on ''[[Family Matters]]'' when Stefan (who was going out with Laura) pretended to be Steve to discover if Laura had feelings for Steve. To his shock, Laura comes onto him {{spoiler|to screw with him, then reveals she wasn't fooled by him at all and was angry that he'd suspect that of her.}}

* On ''[[Smallville]]'', Lana's nutty shapeshifting stalker Tina Greer took Clark's shape and declared his love to Lana and they kissed before the real Clark interrupted them.

* In the third season of ''[[Fringe]]'' {{spoiler|Olivia is replaced with her [[Mirror Universe]] counterpart, who sleeps with Peter.}}

* This is attempted ''twice'' on [[The X-Files]], both times with someone trying to seduce Scully while pretending to be Mulder. In "Small Potatos", a shape-shifting man transforms himself into Mulder first to avoid being arrested, and then uses his appearance to seduce Scully. She doesn't notice (to be fair, there was wine involved) and almost kisses the non-Mulder before the real Mulder bursts in. Scully, obviously, is not amused. The second time, Mulder switches bodies with an MIB, who decides to try and seduce Scully. This time, though, she ''does'' notice that it's not Mulder because the MIB acts nothing like Mulder—including slapping her butt and calling her "Dana" rather than "Scully". She tricks him into handcuffing himself to Mulder's bed, and warns him if he called her "baby" again, he'd be "peeing through a catheter."

** ''[[Sunset Beach]]'' has a man's evil twin seduce his unaware fiancee.

** ''[[All My Children]]'' has an example where the (drunk) man genuinely does not realize that the woman (doped up on pain medication) doesn't know she's with someone other than her husband and feels genuinely horrible at the realization of what's happened.

== Western Animation ==

{{quote|'''Homer''': My God, she's become a cat...! Though I mildly suspected that during the sex.}}

* In the ''[[Justice League Unlimited]]'' epside "The Great Brain Robbery," Lex Luthor [[Freaky Friday Flip|switches bodies]] with the Flash. The Flash, while posing as Luthor, has sex with Luthor's girlfriend Tala. Tala is the one who initiates it, and she clearly enjoys it, even remarking that Lex is being far more sensitive and attentive lover than usually, but she is having sex with a stranger and enemy who has fooled her into thinking that he's really her boyfriend. Flash most likely went along with it because otherwise he might have been discovered.

 

* A king considers this in ''[[Oglaf]]'', then decides it would be simpler to just have the wizard turn into a copy of the woman he desires. Said wizard is not happy about this.

** This is a parody of the Arthurian legend above. It turns into a [[Brick Joke]] later when the wizard transforms into the king to meet the demand of a [[Hard Gay]] warrior who demands sex with the king as the price for crossing a bridge.
