The [[Villain]] has the lovely damsel [[I Have You Now, My Pretty|right where he wants her]]. His plans for her at this point will likely involve putting her in [[Go-Go Enslavement]], [[Post-Rape Taunt|demonstrating his superior sexual prowess]], and possibly giving her a [[Sadistic Choice]] [[Scarpia Ultimatum|between preserving her virtues and preserving the life of that insufferable do-gooder she calls her true love]]... '''but first, it looks like she could do with a nice hot bath!''' He has his servants (hot maidservants usually, or failing that, eunuchs) take her away to be cleaned up and groomed properly. Bonus pervert points if he then watches them [[Fan Service|strip and bathe her]] via [[Palantir Ploy|hidden camera]], two-way mirror, [[Crystal Ball]], or the like.
Compare [[She Cleans Up Nicely]] and sometimes [[No, Mr. Bond, I Expect You to Dine]]. Related to, but not necessarily the same thing as, [[Go-Go Enslavement]]. Can precede a [[Shameful Strip]] if no clothes are provided following the bath. In some series, this is an occupational hazard of being [[The Chick]].

Not to be confused with [[Bring Him to Me]]. And being a [[Bathing Beauty]] is not a pre-requisite for this treatment either.
{{examples}}
== Anime
* Happens to Lafiel in episode 6 of ''[[Crest of the Stars]]''. Ironically, {{spoiler|she's a guest of an Abh noble, and she's the granddaughter of the Abh Empress, and doesn't realize she's being held at the time}}.
* Happens to [[Plucky Girl|Tsukushi]] in the second ''[[Hana Yori Dango]]'' episode, when she's brought to Doumyouji's [[Big Fancy House]]. IIRC, it involved Tsukushi believing he wanted to rape her and slapping him around until he explains that he just wanted to have his maids change her ruined clothes.
Line 26 ⟶ 24:
* A non-romantic example in [[Mobile Suit Gundam F91]] has Cecily/Berah Ronah taken back to her father and grandfather to become part of [[Aristocrats Are Evil|a ruling aristocratic family.]]
* Andrew Waltfeld has this done to Cagalli in ''[[Gundam Seed]]'' after an assassination attempt on Andrew left Cagalli with food all over her. It doesn't have villainous overtones, however: although Andrew {{spoiler|is Cagalli's sworn enemy, he pretends he doesn't know who Cagalli is or that she's after his life, and was actually being genuinely affable; not surprising, given the [[Grey and Gray Morality]] of the Gundam franchise}}.
* The Obsidian Lord orders his female [[Dragon
* Happens to Ciel in the anime for ''[[Black Butler]]''. Before being led to presumably be raped by the high priest of the cult, they feel the need to bathe him and [[Go-Go Enslavement|put him in a rather cute altar boy outfit]].
== Comics -- Books ==
* In a ''[[Catwoman (
* In ''X-Treme [[X-Men]]'', interdimensional conqueror Kahn captures Storm and intends to make her his bride, and has his servants bathe her.
* Inverted in the [[Furry Fandom|furry]] comic, ''Xanadu'', when Tabbe Le Fauve is captured. The unicorn Empress Alicia orders him bathed in the magic unicorn pool. Being a cat, Tabbe is frantically resistant to be thrown into water, but immediately changes his mind when he is thrown in: the magic water feels more like silk and Empress Alicia, naked, smoking hot looking and horny as her horn, climbs in to join him.
* Has happened to [[Red Sonja]] more than once, when some [[Evil Overlord]] decides to make her part of his harem. See the ''Sonja Goes East'' one-shot for one such example.
* Happens in ''[[Little Ego]]'' when Ego is taken to the harem of the Green Sheik.
Line 41 ⟶ 39:
== Fan Works ==
* [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4629651/1/The_Harem_Slave This] ''[[Voltron]]'' fan fic at [http://www.fanfiction.net fanfiction.net] in the third chapter.
* In the ''[[Naruto]]'' fanfic ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20120425064839/http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2923653/1/Duty_Before_Honor Duty Before Honor]'', Sakura is subject to this when she goes undercover to retrieve a vase from a [[Dirty Old Man|dirty old pervert]]. Unfortunately, {{spoiler|this washes off most of the poison she smeared over her body to protect herself from said pervert}}.
* At the beginning of Chapter 23 of ''[[Code Geass: Lelouch of Britannia|Code Geass Lelouch of Britannia]]''.
Line 47 ⟶ 45:
== Films -- Animation ==
* ''[[Heavy Metal (animation)|Heavy Metal]]'':
{{quote|
* [[Evil Genius|Dr. Satan]] does this to his ''literally''' [[Unholy Matrimony|unholy bride]] before their wedding in ''[[The Haunted World of El Superbeasto]]''.
* ''[[The Prince of Egypt]]'' has an example-by-proxy of this. Tzipporah, a Midian woman who was kidnapped by the Egyptians and given Ramses as a [[What Do You Mean It's for Kids?|concubine]], is passed off to Moses, who tricks her into falling into a pool of water. Ramses gives the order, "Dry her off and have her sent to Prince Moses' chambers!" Moses doesn't look any happier with the thought than Tzipporah, but she swiftly enacts her own escape before any awkward confrontations can occur.
** Funnily enough, this is [[Inverted]]
Line 66 ⟶ 64:
== Literature ==
* In ''[[Slave World]]'', this is not merely common: It is a social institution surrounded by all kinds of rules and protocols.
* Borderline example in ''[[Tortall Universe|Lady Knight]]'': after Blayce has kidnapped the refugee children ([[Nightmare Fuel|in order to use their souls to fuel giant killing devices]]), he has them given baths, nice clothing, toys, and good food. Even without the [[Squick|pedophiliac implications]], it's still damn creepy.
* A male version in the ''[[Belgariad]]'': Salmissra sends the kidnapped (and drugged) Garion off with her maidservants to be bathed.
* Happened in ''[[Shadows of the Empire]]'', when Prince Xizor was both trapping Princess Leia and teasing her with possibilities of an alliance while attempting to seduce her. She was his guest for a while, and explicitly dressed in the dark so it would be harder for him to spy on her. He once invited her to take a bath with him. [[Groin Attack|She got back at him later.]]
Line 72 ⟶ 70:
* Functions as a semi-important detail in the novella ''The Wager Lost by Winning'' (part of [[John Brunner]]'s ''Traveller in Black'' series), where the rather unsympathetic protagonist is bathed before being claimed by Lord Fellian.
* ''Fool's Fate'', the last book of [[Robin Hobb]]'s ''[[Realm of the Elderlings|Tawny Man]]'' trilogy, has the hero brought before the big bad as '''she''' bathes. She then gets out of the bath in a seductive manner and leaves him to relax in her still hot, used bath water. Given that he's been worn ragged searching through ice caves and frozen wasteland for the past few weeks, he resignedly accepts.
* In ''[[The Hollow Kingdom]]'', Kate gets this treatment right before {{spoiler|her wedding to the goblin king.}}
* Another male example is [[Orson Scott Card]]'s novel ''Hart's Hope'', when Orem is prepared for his first meeting with Beauty.
* In ''The Baker's Boy'', Melli is at one point captured by one of the Big Bads and offered a bath, which he subsequently watches through a hole in the wall with delight.
Line 81 ⟶ 79:
* When {{spoiler|Amara}} of ''[[Codex Alera]]'' is captured by {{spoiler|Brencis Kalarus Minorus}}, he [[Brainwashing|collars]] her and taunts/questions her, complete with maidservant doing the washing, while she's being cleaned in the bath. This being a [[Jim Butcher]] work, though, of course {{spoiler|it's actually a ploy, as she made herself immune to collaring by being pre-collared by her husband/spy-partner around her thigh, hiding it under her pants, and went into the situation expecting to probably be captured so that she can get close enough to make a (successful) attempt on Brencis' life}}.
* In ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'', [[Complete Monster|Ramsay Bolton]] takes this to the next level with his bride. He's a bit of a hygiene freak, and has her constantly bathed.
* A non-villain (but still [[Jerkass]]) example is ''Spellfall'': Natalie, a 12 years old girl, is captured by an [[Big Bad|evil Wizard]] Hawk, and after a few days of capture, escapes with Merlin, Hawk's son , who is 11 years old. When they arrive at the Council of Oq, she is told that before she can speak with the council, she has to take a swim in a special pool. As she herself also desires to be clean, she is actually glad - until she learns that Merlin also has to take a swim in the same pool, and no, bathing suits are not provided...
== Live-Action TV ==
* On ''[[Lost]]'', Kate is offered a shower and a change of clothes when she, Jack and Sawyer are captured by the Others. However, it's slightly [[Subverted Trope|subverted]] in that her jailer tells her that she's "not [[
* "Have her scrubbed and brought to my tent." John Cleese appearing on ''[[Cheers]]''.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYpwbPmUa2E Referenced] in ''[[QI]]'', where the sight of Alan Davies trying on a scold's bridle brought on the [[Ho Yay]]:
{{quote|
'''[[Stephen Fry]]:''' Actually, don't bother to have him scrubbed. }}
* Arms dealer Mezentius says this in the ''[[Xena: Warrior Princess]]'' episode "The Path Not Taken", instructing his guards to have a female captive "bathed and perfumed and brought to my chamber".
Line 119 ⟶ 117:
* Though not ''quite'' this trope, Butt-Head of ''[[Beavis and Butthead]]'' is known to frequently say those exact words whenever he sees a beautiful woman.
* Happens to Val in ''[[Frisky Dingo]]''.
* Somewhat spoofed though not seen, on a Halloween episode of [[The Simpsons]], ''Don't Have a Cow Mankind'', Moe is taken by Carl, Lenny, and Barney (who are now zombies). Knowing he's going to be eaten, Moe tell them that they might wanna wash before eating Moe.
