* In ''[[Wicked City]]'', [[Dark Action Girl]] Makie and [[Badass Normal]] Taki have sex after a Black World extremist ambush nearly kills them both. {{spoiler|In a subversion, it's actually a HUGE plot point: a part of [[The Plan]] of their boss Giuseppe included them getting emotionally and sexually involved since not only Makie would became a [[Pregnant Badass]] and experience a big power-up from that... but her and Taki's future child would be ''the first human/demon hybrid kid'', the living proof that humans and demons ''can'' live in peace together.}}

* Okay, so maybe {{spoiler|Hermione and Ron's kiss in the Chamber of Secrets towards the end of [[Harry Potter (film)|Deathly Hallows 2]]}} technically doesn't qualify because it's not really sex, but think about it - it's practically the trope itself in PG-13 form.

* In [[Sergey Lukyanenko]]'s ''[[Seekers of the Sky]]'' duology, based on Helena's (a glider pilot) stories, this seems to be true whenever several pilots survive a crash-landing or a near-miss. This is considering that most of the pilots are male, with Helena being a rare exception. This lifestyle helps her develop a cavalier attitude towards sex. In her first appearance, the main character (a thief) kidnaps her and forces her to fly him from a prison island. After crash-landing, he is badly hurt. Does she run away immediately? No, she has sex with him before leaving "to work out the aching muscles."

* In ''[[Heralds of Valdemar|By the Sword]]'', this trope combines with [[Rescue Romance]] and the [[Florence Nightingale Effect]] to kickstart Kerowyn and Eldan's relationship within no more than a few hours after she saves him from being tortured by a Karsite priestess. Kero acknowledges the trope in the process, reflecting that she's felt the impulse plenty of times before, just never around anyone she'd care to wake up next to.

* In Teresa Frohock's ''[[Miserere: An Autumn Tale|Miserere an Autumn Tale]]'', Lucian and Rachael get as far as the passionate kissing after a hard-won victory before they remember their past. Lucian tells her he's sorry; she tells him that no, he's not.

* The (though optional) sex scene between {{spoiler|Madison and Ethan}} in ''[[Heavy Rain]]'' could definitely qualify, considering the former almost got killed by [[Mad Doctor|Adrian Baker]] and almost raped by [[Attempted Rape|Paco Mendes]], and the latter had a near death experience with a drug dealer {{spoiler|whom he may or may not have then killed}}.
