{{quote|"He hadn't even tried to kiss her. Not that he should, seeing as she was engaged. And not that she wanted him to. But he hadn't even ''tried''."}}
* ''The orb of Xaraz'', second novel in ''[[Le Donjon De Naheulbeuk]]'' verse, has the whole party hiding into the "filles pompoms" (ridiculous word-for-word translation of "pompom girl") locker room. The girls are really offended not to get raped.
* [[David Drake]]'s ''The Spark'' invokes this when the [[Knight in Shining Armor|hero]], Pal, is escorting a lady searching for her kidnapped sister. The vessel they travel aboard has electronically lockable cabins, and she's activated the lock whenever she was in her cabin, as well as mentioning a time or three that she carries a knife. And then [[Nice Guy|Pal]] politely tells her that for real security, she should use the manual lock, because no one can override that the way '''he''' could at any time have opened the electronic lock (the vessel's artificial intelligence is very ready to cooperate with him because of how he's been repairing centuries' worth of neglected systems). The lady doesn't '''say''' "Aren't You Going to..." but the realization that he certainly isn't clearly takes her down a peg.
