Line 1:
{{trope}}
Two people are coerced into sex by a third party. This can be part of a [[Sadistic Choice]]—wherein — wherein the villain will threaten one or both of the victims with bodily harm, unless the two cooperate—orcooperate — or it can be under pure coercion from one who is more powerful or manipulative.
 
This is handy for a villain who doesn't like to get his hands dirty. It also lets him use his victims against each other—makingother — making it very efficient.
 
An extra dimension of angst can be added when two characters have deep feelings for each other, but those feelings are not sexual in nature (e.g., friendship or platonic love); alternatively, they may have latent romantic feelings, but exhibition is ''not'' how they would have wanted to express it. Judging by the examples below, it's also disturbingly common for the pairing to be incestuous.
Line 8:
[[Tropes Are Not Bad|It can be heartwrenching]], especially when the victims struggle to comfort each other in the midst of the mutually traumatic ordeal, or suffer the perversion of their honest affection. [[Tropes Are Not Good|It can also be]] an [[Excuse Plot]] for pointless titillation.
 
Compare/ and Contrast [[Sex by Proxy]]. One might expect [[Aliens Made Them Do It]] to be the Sci -Fi counterpart, but in fact that trope is much [[Lighter and Softer]], often played for laughs or a light-hearted [[Ship Tease]].

{{examples}}
== [[Anime]]/ and [[Manga]] ==
* In the (adult) manga series ''[[Aki Sora]]'', Sora's friend Miharu coerces Sora and his girlfriend Alice into have sex (more than once), because he is not able to do so. Neither one takes much convincing, and it is played for laughs.
* ''[[Robotech]]'' has an episode where Rick, Lisa, and Ben are captured by the Zentraedi and ordered to demonstrate human procreation. Because the Zentraedi are completely ignorant about sex and are hugely disgusted by acts of intimacy, Rick and Lisa manage to get by with just a forced kiss instead of forced sex.
* In ''[[Visual Novel/Night Shift Nurses|Night Shift Nurses]]'' Ryuji forces Hikaru and Remi to have sex since he has blackmail material on both of them.
 
== [[Comics]] ==
Line 23:
* Happens in ''[[Fables]]'' when Bluebeard uses magic on both Snow and Bigby to make them leave town and spend a week in the woods together, where they have sex and don't remember it {{spoiler|until Snow is shown to be pregnant}}.
 
== [[Fan FicsWorks]] ==
* In [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1024910/1/Hinge_of_Fate Hinge of Fate] by [http://www.fanfiction.net/u/86346/Ramos ramos], Snape and Hermione are forced to do this when the latter is captured by the Death Eaters. It's presented as the lesser of two evils, with Snape being the best choice to perform the act. It is implied others would not be as gentle.
* A very thorny case crops up in the ''[[Tron: Legacy]]'' [[Dark Fic]] "[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7038855/1/Obsidian Obsidian]." Clu hands over a "[[Brainwashed|repurposed]]" Yori as a "prize" for his enforcer, Rinzler. Now, remember [[{{spoiler: |who Rinzler really is and [[Happily Married|the relationship he had with Yori]] in the first film...]]}} Taking the cake? [[{{spoiler: |Clu lets Rinzler know later that [[Sex by Proxy|he had a neural link on the two]] the entire time.]]}}
* [http://fiction.entstcommunity.org/viewstory.php?sid=2234 This]{{Dead link}} ''[[Star Trek: Enterprise]]'' fanfic, pairing Malcolm Reed and Trip Tucker. Notably, the author deals quite well with the problems this creates between the two, as their mutual attraction meant they enjoyed it but the feelings of violation were still there, and it takes them quite some time to untangle the two.
* In the [[Pony POV Series]], this happened with Filthy "Onyx Tiara" Rich and his household staff, under the influence of Discord. While Filthy was discorded, anypony he touched ([[[[Gender Bender]] |even the one male member]] of the staff) turned into an imitation of his wife, and, well... Yeah. And of course, they all remembered what happened afterwards. It is unfortunate that the goat-faced creep responsible cannot be permanently dealt with.
 
== [[Film]] ==
Line 34:
* In ''[[One Hour Photo]]'', the [[Villain Protagonist]] forces this between an unfaithful husband and his lover while he takes pictures.
* ''[[Se7en]]'' has an extremely violent and disturbing example. As always in this movie, we see only the aftereffects. It also results in Murder by Proxy.
* The 2009 Mexican film ''Daniel and Ana'', which falls somewhere between [[Based on a True Story]] and [[ButThe ItTasteless But ReallyTrue Happened!Story]] in its graphic nature, concerns a brother and sister whom pornographers kidnap and force at gunpoint to have sex with each other on camera.
* In the movie ''[[Primal Fear]]'', the main character discovers a home video owned by the murdered archbishop, in which the archbishop forced two alter boys to have sex with a girl on camera.
 
== [[Literature]] ==
* ''[[Miles Vorkosigan|Shards of Honor]]'': Vorrutyer orders Bothari to rape the prisoner of war Cordelia Naismith. This is a common enough order from Vorrutyer to Bothari that Vorrutyer does not expect to be disobeyed.
* In Mario Puzo's ''The Family'',<ref>not [[[[The Mafia]] |that family]]</ref> Rodrigo Borgia forces his son to deflower his daughter, believing that a woman will forever be loyal to the man who takes her virginity.
* In ''[[White Midnight]]'' by Dia Calhoun, Mr. Brae wants an heir to his estate, so he forces Rose to choose between sex with him and sex with his son Raymont (who also has no choice in the matter, and is widely rumored to be a hideous monster). She chooses Raymont [[spoiler: and eventually has his child]], but she's not happy about either option. Oh, by the way, Rose is ''fifteen'', and Raymont is maybe seventeen.
* In ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire|A Game of Thrones]]'', it is revealed in back story that Tyrion once married a prostitute, but the marriage was ended when his father Tywin found out about it, and as punishment Tywin made Tyrion watch as his guards raped her, finally forcing Tyrion to go last.
Line 45:
** Also, Ramsay Bolton forces "Reek" {{spoiler|a.k.a Theon Greyjoy}} to perform oral sex on Ramsay's thirteen-year-old bride {{spoiler|Jeyne Poole}}.
 
== [[Live -Action TV]] ==
* ''[[Spartacus: Blood and Sand]]'': On the whim of a wealthy <s>pervert</s> guest of Batiatus, Gannicus is forced to have sex with his best friend's wife. [[And That's Terrible|Being a slave sucks]].
* The murderer in the ''[[Criminal Minds]]'' episode "Compromising Positions" had this as part of his MO.
