Line 19:
Abusively sexy women often come off as one of three character types that are distinct but [[The Same but More Specific|too specific]] to have pages of their own:
* An '''Abusively Sexy Lady''' is classy, high status, and often [[Wicked Cultured]] kind of [[Brains and Bondage]]. She is likely to be beautiful...and this can be part of the [[Screw the Rules, I'm Beautiful|justification]] for her heinous acts.
* An '''Abusively Sexy Bitch''' is tacky and trashy, and may border on [[Abhorrent Admirer]]. This kind of character ''can'' be ugly, at least [[Hollywood Homely|by hollywood standards]].
* An '''Abusively Sexy Girl''' is a teenager rather than a mature adult. Ironically, her hotness is excused and made more socially acceptable by her abusiveness, [[Double Standard Abuse Female On Male|since it underscores that she is most definitely "not getting exploited".]] It may also mean that, [[Naive Newcomer|since the girl's very young and thus likely to be immature/unexperienced]], either [[Innocently Insensitive|she doesn't seem to truly understand]] the horrid psychological effects of her abuse, or she has been taught to believe that it's okay to treat men that way (Maybe [[Straw Feminist|by other women]]).
Line 29:
Also, it's not a matter of personal preference: when adding or editing examples that you personally don't consider sexy, please abstain from snarky comments about the authors/actors.
In many cases, also a subtrope of [[Double Standard Abuse Female On Male]]. Compare ''and'' contrast [[Casual Kink]] as well as [[Safe, Sane, and Consensual]], for characters who live out BDSM fantasies ''and'' show the kind of ethical restraint needed in [[Real Life]]. Fictional characters who do not show such restraint are usually not intended to send a message that [[Bondage Is Bad]].
Also compare to [[Dominatrix]], who keeps the "abuse" strictly in the bedroom. Contrast [[Domestic Abuser]] and [[Unsexy Sadist]]. Strongly related to [[All Women Are Doms All Men Are Subs]].
As this is a rape trope, '''[[No Real Life Examples Please]]!'''

* The librarian in ''Tomcats''. The [[Jerkass]] protagonist seduces her, believing her to be a frail and naive little woman who he can use for sex (by pretending to care for her and want to become her boyfriend) and then discard. She turns out to be a crazy sadist with no interest whatsoever in playing [[Safe, Sane, and Consensual]]. {{spoiler|So is her Grandma}}.
* Gloria in ''[[Wedding Crashers (Film)|Wedding Crashers]]'' has her methods: first, scare the shit out of him by acting crazy, then tie him up against his will and rape him. Of course, he eventually learns to like it, and their relationship [[Hollywood Masochism|seamlessly develop]] into [[Casual Kink|normal roleplaying]].
* Haley in ''[[Hard Candy]]'' pulls off a lot of nonconsensual sexual sadism against Jeff.

** Vriska
** Snowman/The Black Queen ([[Alternate Universe|both versions]]), particularly in her interactions with Jack Noir/Spades Slick. Very often, she abuses him in various ways, including putting a cigarette holder in his [[Eye Scream|eye]], removing an arm with a [[Whip It Good|whip]], forcing him into various costumes in the kids' section, and having a particularly violent "hate snog" with him. It's even flat-out said that they have a [[Foe Yay|blackrom thing going]].
