Sex Is Violence

As per the forum discussion, the page Interplay of Sex and Violence is being merged with this page, in that they are the same trope with two different names. (October 2018)



"Sex ist eine Schlacht, Liebe ist Krieg (Sex is a battle, love is war)"

- Rammstein, "Wollt ihr das Bett in Flammen sehen?"

"Just another show with sex and violence Sex is violent"

- Jane's Addiction, "Ted, Just Admit It..."

Sometimes, when a combat scene becomes a bit too vocal and noisy... it stops being fighting, if you know what I mean. But sometimes, for some characters, the fighting itself actually does become a sexual turn-on. The character's heavy breathing, grunts, and yelps and groans are caused by the fact that they are really, truly—and literally—getting off on the violence (though not necessarily on actual injury to themselves and/or their opponents).

Vampires and the Combat Sadomasochist are particularly prone to this kind of characterization, especially when Hemo Eroticism is involved.

Related to Destructo-Nookie, where the two scenes become one ...well, you know what I mean.

May take less honest tropes such as Belligerent Sexual Tension, Slap Slap Kiss and Kiss Kiss Slap, and The Masochism Tango to a new "exciting" level. The violent Older Brother to Does This Remind You of Anything?

Related to Cat Fight (and the possible cause of the ensuing Fan Service, In Love with Your Carnage and Foe Yay). Often involves characters who are Too Kinky to Torture. Can end in Destructo-Nookie. May also overlap with Looks Like She Is Enjoying It. Compare I Didn't Mean to Turn You On.

Anime and Manga

 * Karasuba from Sekirei likes combat so much she has to kill someone to lose steam and even declares she's "On fire" to her Ashikabi.
 * Ikki Tousen comments on how the fighters find fighting erotic. Their battles will overlap with foreplay.
 * Hidan from Naruto is implied to have an orgasm every time he finishes his opponent off during his sadomasochistic stabbing ritual.
 * Genkaku from Deadman Wonderland is shown getting really turned on when he watches Nagi crush some poor sap's skull.
 * In Black Cat, let's just say that Creed... really likes being hurt and beat up by Train (especially while they're fighting). One round of fisticuffs between them quickly turns creepy when Train ends up in a compromising position on top of Creed, who breathlessly cries out that Train is "the best". Pretty sure he got off from that.
 * In Full Metal Panic!, apparently Gauron's idea of consummating his love for Sousuke is to have a bloody double suicide - namely, in the form of their Huge Mechas beating each other up and grappling each other and having his self destruct. Not to mention that in the novels, it's made pretty clear that, during Gauron's fight with Sousuke in Khanka, Gauron was getting off on the idea of violently killing Sousuke and then raping his dead body. And in case the anime didn't make it blatant enough, the manga has him yelling out while he's fighting Sousuke, "Yeah, that's what I'm talking about! Ah, what a rush!"
 * Tatsumi Saiga from Speed Grapher worked as a war photographer. In one flashback he gets a hard-on when he's taking pictures of dying men during a battle. One soldier even notices and calls him a pervert.
 * Revy in Black Lagoon tends to enjoy gunfighting a BIT too much...
 * "Dance the jitterbug" indeed...
 * Hisoka from Hunter X Hunter.
 * Basically any time that Tsukuyomi (pictured) ends up dueling Setsuna in Mahou Sensei Negima. Their latest fight featured Tsukuyomi panting, blushing and... drooling. While talking about how she was losing control and asking Setsuna to fight harder and 'satisfy' her. Not many were surprised when the battle climaxed with her straddling Setsuna and slowly slicing her clothing off while basically openly declaring intent to rape.
 * A central theme of the Witchblade anime series. As stated outright by the show's creators, the point isn't "sex and violence" so much as "sex is violence."
 * In episode 185 of Keroro Gunso while Dororo was in a giant robot fight with Robobo, of the Shurara Corps. For the finally blow, he cuts Robobo in half. Right before blowing up, he looks incredibly happy, and says "It feels GOOD!". And the icing on the cake is when Dororo bows his head and states that he's happy to have found a strong opponent.
 * Bryan Hawk from Hajime no Ippo seemingly gets sexual pleasure when he fights. After severely beating down Takamura, he remarks that he's about to cum.
 * In Gunnm, Galley begins to take pleasure in combat and killing when she's employed by Tiphares. In her own words she wants "More and more, until everything goes all white!"
 * One Piece: Sadi-Chan deserves an honorable mention, getting all sorts of pleasure from screams.
 * Fasalina from Gun X Sword whenever attacking inside her Dahlia of Wednesday, usually inserts some orgasmic sounds alongside some drawn out words. All while pole-dancing. Well, she is a former prostitute...
 * Canaan: It certainly is for Liang Qi.
 * Takuma Fudou from GetBackers. His greatest desire is for Ban to "give his body to him," "meet his desires," "quench his thirst" and "let him enjoy himself" - which pretty much means getting ripped apart by Fudou as they fight. But Fudou shows numerous times that he doesn't get pleasure simply from sadistically cutting up Ban - he actually likes it more when Ban cuts him up and puts up a fight as well. He also shows his masochistic tendencies when he mentions that he kept his own rotting arm with him, reminding himself of what Ban did to him, which gave him "incredible chills rising up throughout his body." As well as an instance where, when Ban wasn't putting up enough of a fight, Fudou started cutting himself up on the chest, screaming at Ban to "make him bleed" and "push him to the edge."
 * Jan Valentine of Hellsing declares that he has a hard-on while killing Hellsing personnel. It's hard not to laugh.
 * For that matter, Alucard seems to love fighting anything that gives him a challenge... maybe he enjoys it a little too much....
 * There's also the Major, who, in his infamous speech, calls various sights one might see in a war as "arousing".
 * In Bleach one of Ichigo's earlier enemies, the hollow called Shrieker, was a serial killer who stabbed a young mother to death and got off on it. His greatest regret is being killed before being able to do the same to her child, Yuichi Shibata.
 * Grand Fisher. His power is that he can create a lure based on the memories of somebody or assume the form of his past victims in order to prevent someone from attacking him while he kills him. Not only does he do this with Ichigo's mother, but he also seems to get off on it.
 * Implied to be the case for Kenpachi.
 * The monstrous rapist Captain Continental of Legend of the Blue Wolves gets aroused at the thought of both raping and breaking people. It's also heavily implied that he got turned on while fighting Jonathan.
 * Arthur of Air Gear is Too Kinky to Torture and really enjoyed it if Agito managed to hit him during their fight. This is to the point where he nibbled on Agito's ear, dry humped him, and started breathing really heavily as he was stabbing Agito, almost like he was getting off from the whole thing.
 * Belphegor of Katekyo Hitman Reborn made some rather...orgasmic noises during his fight with Gokudera. And towards the end of their fight when both were trying to steal the others ring half's, Belphegor straddles Gokudera and all the struggling they're doing makes it look like they're having sex or that Bel is raping Gokudera.
 * Highschool of the Dead: For Saeko, anyway. "I'm getting wet", anyone?
 * While Durarara!!'s Vorona is normally a straight-up Blood Knight, her encounter with Shizuo Heiwajima is, uh, special. The rise she gets from facing him is described as both like the feeling one gets when one has a continental missile pointed at their face and straight-up sexual arousal.
 * Jakotsu in Inuyasha.
 * The End of Evangelion has a... rather unsettling variation on this trope involving the MP Evas.
 * The first segment of The Animatrix, Final Flight of the Osiris, begins with a blatantly sexual (and really cool) fight scene between a man and a woman.
 * There's lots of this in Wolf Guy Wolfen Crest. Pretty much everything that comes out of Ryuuko's mouth has to do with this trope. Kuroda takes a break from blowing up stuff (and students) to try to rape the meganekko with his gun. Fortunately, Inugami interrupts him. And now Haguro decides to up his freakiness by beating up Chiba and then kissing him, taking that opportunity to tear out his tongue, and then rape him. All because Inugami (whom Haguro is obsessed with) happened to run into him in the street earlier. Also, Haguro topped himself after Aoshika got released from her chains, with him fighting Inugami he got to slice two of Inugami's fingers off, then Haguro eats them and gets a boner for managing to injure Inugami.

Real Life
""Seppuku is the ultimate form of masturbation.""
 * Older Than Dirt: Several cave paintings in France and Spain have been found depicting the inhabitants hunting large animals while sporting ginormous erections as long as their legs.
 * This immortal quote is attributed to to the Japanese writer Yukio Mishima:
