{{trope}}
Two people are coerced into sex by a third party. This can be part of a [[Sadistic Choice]]
This is handy for a villain who doesn't like to get his hands dirty. It also lets him use his victims against each
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.

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 (
