I Showed Her What A Real Man Is

For a villain, there are many ways to get to the hero, to really make him hurt. One popular way is through his loved ones, and one of the most effective methods is to violate his love interest. Maybe kill her after, if you wanna be a real dick. And if you really want to twist the knife, when he confronts you, tell him she enjoyed it.

Compare/contrast with It's Not Rape If You Enjoyed It, where the victim does like it, whereas this is just the villain lying for the sake of being a total prick. One variation has the villain not directly engaging in the act himself, but instead orders his lieutenant(s) to carry out the deed, with the same obvious end-result. Not always, but usually done with male villain/male hero/female victim. Frequently provokes Unstoppable Rage and/or Extreme Melee Revenge.

Anime and Manga

 * In Full Metal Panic, this was originally part of Gauron's Murder the Hypotenuse plan for Kaname (seeing how she was "softening" the beautiful Assassin Saint Kashim). Before killing her, he wanted her body to be violently raped and violated. He might've done it himself, except for the fact that {{spoiler|he was kinda missing his arms and legs, which would make it a tad hard for him to get there and do that]]. So instead, he orders one of the male twins he raised to do the deed in his stead. Further, he wanted the man to take pictures of her raped, dead body and give them to him, so that he could show them to Sousuke. Thankfullly, she doesn't actually under go this.
 * Fractale has a retroactive version of this trope. The {{spoiler|male military commander reveals just how he's been testing and examining the mysterious waif}}.
 * The Battle Royale manga got really nasty with this in the beginning.
 * Nakago tries to pull this on Tamahome in Fushigi Yuugi, even going so far as to "show" Tamahome how he kissed Miaka. {{spoiler|Nakago never actually raped Miaka, partly because Suzaku was protecting her, and partly because it hit too close to home for him. So it ended up being one of those "let's not and say we did" kinda things. Both Tamahome and Miaka believe he raped her, though.}}
 * Happens in Monster. Inspector Lunge's wife and daughter left him due to his obsession with work. During the climactic battle, Roberto implies that his wife was having an affair with him and really enjoyed it, causing the normally emotionless and robotic Lunge to momentarily lose his cool.
 * Hentai often has this in rape-themed stories; sometimes the girl will end up enjoying it and asking for more, screwing her boyfriend or seeming love interest over. Her reason is usually that the often ugly rapist's dick is just too big and the boyfriend's small-by-comparison dick won't be able to satisfy her (despite the fact she has never had sex with him because the rapist will be the one to take her virginity). Fetish Fuel for many male viewers and some female viewers too.
 * True Blue is an especially glaring example.

Comic Books

 * In the backstory of Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth, the murderer who killed Arkham's wife and daughter tells him that they "begged him to abuse them" and calls his daughter a whore.
 * Played straight in the Space Ghost comic, which is generally Grimmified.
 * In The Sandman, Loki tries to goad Thor into killing him by revealing that he had seduced Thor's wife Sif. He goes into rather lurid detail too.
 * Happens in the Graphic Novel Joker, done by the Joker to Johnny Johnny's wife all because Johnny didn't tell him he had a wife. Joker fans were... quite divided about this event...

Fanfic

 * In the Buffy the Vampire Slayer fanfic Difficult To Fight Against Anger, after raping, Warren Mears taunts by telling  This is completely intentional.
 * Endgame by Tara O'Shea, the first-known Galaxy Rangers fanfic on the web, used this.

Film
"Robert Roy McGregor: You're a thief, a murderer and a violator of women. Archibald Cunningham: Aah... I had hoped you'd come to me long since on that score. Robert Roy McGregor: If I had known earlier you would have been dead sooner. Archibald Cunningham: I will tell you something, to take with you. Your wife was far sweeter forced than many are willing. And truth put to it, I think not all of her objected..."
 * In The Devil's Advocate: "Well, on a scale of 1 to 10 — 10 being the most depraved act of sexual theatre known to man, 1 being your average Friday night run-through at the Lomaxes' household -- I'd say, not to be immodest, Mary Ann and I got it on at about...SEVEN!"
 * In The Film of the Book of The Crow, Tin-Tin tells the title character, whose girlfriend was raped by him and his friends, that "I shagged her pink ass and she loooooved it!" He comes to regret these words.
 * In Gladiator, Commodus tells Maximus that his wife "moaned like a whore" while Commodus' men raped her. Interestingly, Unstoppable Rage didn't ensue. Doesn't mean Maximus didn't kill him when he got the chance, though. It did, however, mean that Commodus' guardians refused to give him a second sword during his fight with Maximus after he got disarmed.
 * At the beginning of Daredevil, a rapist tells Murdock his client enjoyed it.
 * In this case, he actually has a real reason... he's arguing it was consensual.
 * Highlander—Centuries after he rapes her, the Kurgan taunts Macleod that this is the reason his wife never told him about it.
 * Kickboxer does this trope slightly less subtle. "Goooooooooood fuck."
 * In Rob Roy Cunningham rapes MacGregor's wife, who avoids telling her husband for fear that he will do something reckless to avenge her honor. Rob does eventually find out, and when he's captured by Cunningham they have the following conversation:

"Trevelyan: Lovely girl. Tastes of strawberries. Bond: I wouldn't know. Trevelyn: I would."
 * In Forced Vengeance, Giant Mook Karn tells Randall (Chuck Norris) that his girlfriend (found raped and murdered in the previous scene) was "Goooood fuck!". Randall proceeds to teach Karn what "defenestration" means.
 * In Goldeneye Alec Trevelyan doesn't actually rape the damsel in distress (as far as we see) but does force a kiss on her and then gloat to James Bond:

"Clubber: *to Adrian* Hey, woman! Hey, woman! Listen here. Since your old man ain't got no heart, maybe you'd like to see a real man. I bet you stay up late every night dreaming you had a real man, don't you? I'll tell you what: bring your pretty little self over to my apartment tonight, and I'll show you a real man. Rocky: YOU WANT IT? YOU GOT IT!"
 * Also from Bond, in Licence to Kill the villain's henchmen explain, "We gave her a nice honeymoon," implying they did this to Felix Leiter's wife before killing her. Then they feed Felix to a shark.
 * In Rocky 3, top contender Clubber Lang is upset that Rocky won't give him the title shot he deserves. After interrupting a ceremony of Philadelphia dedicating to Rocky a public statue in his likeness, Clubber makes an appeal directly to Rocky, then to the crowd. When those fail, he decides to make things a little more personal.

"Lord Bottoms: I never did her any harm. It was my right! Morrison: Your right? Well, I am here to claim the right of a husband! (Kills the lord and spits on his body)"
 * In Braveheart, King Edward attempts to invoke this trope by establishing the law of Prima Nocta, which grants English lords the sexual right to take any Scottish girl for himself on her wedding night. He figures with this in place, some of his lords will both be more eager to rule in Scotland, and more thoroughly keep the Scots under their thumb. We witness this happen at one wedding, and later while William Wallace is leading an attack on the English garrison, the husband of that woman confronts the lord who carried off his bride on their wedding day. When the lord sees the husband coming at him with Unstoppable Rage and a drawn weapon, rather than bragging, he tries feebly protesting that he never hurt the girl and was just utilizing his legal right.

Literature

 * In Deception Point the villain's internal monologue states that he "Had no doubt it was the most pleasurable experience of her life." Although it was a case of seducing a naive-ish assistant (with some racist overtones) rather than actual rape.
 * In The Jester by James Patterson, one of the antagonists pulls this on the hero, whose wife was kidnapped while he was participating in the crusades.
 * In the Outlander series, evil Depraved Bisexual Captain John Randall loves doing this to Jamie. He tries to make Jamie think that he raped his sister, as well as his wife. Despite the fact that it was later revealed that, in both cases, he was incapable of getting himself sufficiently hard to do that. Why would he do that? Because he's in love with Jamie, and in his messed up mind, he loves seeing Jamie hate him.
 * In Roald Dahl's short story "The Great Switcheroo", the protagonist Vic entices his friend into a mutual Bed Trick so they can sleep with each other's wives. They go to great lengths to make sure the wives don't find out, wearing each other's cologne, discussing their bedtime routine, technique and so on. Vic is dismissive of his friend's technique, but is crushed the next morning when his wife tells him that she had never really enjoyed sex until last night.

 * A minor villain in The Destroyer believes that it is not only a man's right, but in fact his duty and obligation to have sex with women whenever he can, regardless of what they feel about it. He even boasts that he's "shown a few lesbians what they're missing out on".

Live Action TV
"Vic: [whispering in Kavanaugh's ear] Your ex-wife's pussy... tastes like sweet, sweet butter."
 * An episode of Brimstone did this. The hero had to send his wife's rapist back to Hell.
 * This is also the main reason Zeke was in Hell in the first place. He tracked down his wife's rapist. The guy bragged about it. Zeke opened fire.
 * Invoked a couple of times on Robin Hood between Guy, Marian and Robin. Guy never actually does manage to deflower Marian; but after their coersive engagement Guy tells Robin: "I'll laugh every time I..." (interrupted by Robin's punch) and then later says: "I'll think of you when I take her to the marriage bed."
 * On Heroes, Sylar possesses Matt Parkman's body and sleeps with his wife. He later brags that she enjoyed Sylar's version more than she ever enjoyed Matt's.
 * Done in an episode of Cold Case, when a father tracked down and confronted the pedophile who had abducted his son, and again, when the younger brother of a rape victim confronted the rapist.

 * In Killer7 it's not explicitly stated, but heavily implied by Curtis Blackburn to his former partner Pedro Montana about his wife. Subverted in that Pedro isn't really a good guy.

Web Original
"Captain Hammer: You've got a little crush, don't you, Doc. Well, that's gonna make this hard to hear. See, later, I'm gonna take little Penny back to my place. Show her the command center, Hammercycle, maybe even the Hamjet. You think she likes me now? I'm gonna give Penny the night of her life, just because you want her. And I get what you want. See, Penny's giving it up, she's giving it up hard. Cause she's with Captain Hammer. And these... [Hammer holds up his fists] ...are not the hammer. [Hammer leaves, then returns] The hammer is my penis."
 * In Act 2 of Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, Captain Hammer brags to the titular character about how he is going to give Penny (Dr. Horrible's Love Interest) "the night of her life." Though so far as we know, it's consensual.
