* ''[[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]]'': Trip's Servine apparently doesn't mind Ash's Snivy whipping him until it collapsed. Granted, Servine was under the effects of [[Emotion Bomb|Attract]], but other Pokemon usually snap out of the effects after an attack.
** It's now a [[Me Me]] to call Trip's Servine a masochist.
** In the Diamond and Pearl seasons of the same show, Gardenia was strangely fond of taking the brunt of various Grass-type Pokemon's attacks.
Line 38:
'''Roland Mackey:''' [her ex-husband] We tried that once, but you started laughing. }}
* ''[[Exit to Eden]]'' takes place on an island where BDSM and Fetishism is the everyday norm. And it's hardly even a real part of the story, more like a exotic background for an ordinary detective story.
* In ''[[Preaching to the Perverted]]'', the main character is sent by a [[Heteronormative Crusader]] to infiltrate a BDSM club. As he gets to know the people there, he finds out that they are just ordinary people with an unusual sexuality, not any [[Brains and Bondage|better]] or [[Bondage Is Bad|worse]] than anyone else.
* While most of ''[[Secretary]]'' averts this trope quite hard, it does pop up twice. In the middle of the movie, Lee is listening to a tape about coming out as a dominant or submissive, assuring the listener that BDSM is a capacity for a wider range of experience. More importantly, {{spoiler|the movie has a happy ending where Lee finally gets rid of her fiancée (whom she never wanted, he was pushed on her and she wasn't assertive enough to say no), come out as a masochist and finally demand a real relationship with Edward. Some people are pissed at her, but her father stands by her side and assert that he's proud of her. And finally Edward overcome his fear and [[Property of Love|they live happily ever after]].}}
* There is a quick instance in the movie ''[[Forgetting Sarah Marshall]]'' where the main character, in an attempt to forget his ex-girlfriend starts having sex with lots of different women, one of whom is a fairly quiet girl who wouldn't stop saying "hi" to him. He asks if she could stop because it was getting a bit weird. Without missing a beat, she tells him, "You can gag me." As he's left surprised, she explains that [[Bound and Gagged|she brought a gag with her and some handcuffs too]], then asks, "Do you want to gag me?" He finally replies, "Actually, I kind of want to now."
 
== [[Literature]] ==
* The ''[[Slave World]]'' novels sometimes casually mention BDSM play done in Britain's timeline. In the [[Alternate Timeline]], where the Roman empire never really fell and the story takes place in a England that was never an Empire, much of the everyday social life is kinky [[Fetish Fuel]] - not only to many readers, but also to visitors from the first timeline.
* ''[[The Dresden Files]]'' plays this straight several times with Molly Carpenter. Her kinks are referenced several times in the series and are usually just as quickly forgotten. Possibly [[Justified Trope|justified]] in that the books are supposed to be [[Literary Agent Hypothesis|Harry's case files]], and he considers these to be [[Too Much Information]].
* Perhaps surprisingly for a guy who started traveling with [[Doctor Who|the Doctor]] a few years before [[The Sixties|the Summer of Love]], the [[Eighth Doctor Adventures]]' Fitz Kreiner doesn't stop at [[Bi the Way|casually coming out to the reader]], he also makes what seems like a semi-sincere crack implying this trope:

== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* In the ''[[Masters of Horror]]'' episode ''Homecoming'', the phone rings while the main characters are having a BDSM session. He answers the phone, but she keep whipping him a bit just to embarrass him in front of ther important political figure he's talking with.
* ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' has several mentions, including the Page Quote. The same episode featured some dialogue by Anya that strongly implied that she and Xander were practising (mild) BDSM. Nobody ever seemed to mind the idea itself, just the fact that she was talking about her sex life with other people at all was treated as awkward. But on the other hand, the Riley/Faith sex scene in "Who Are You?", and the dialogue around it, strongly implies that BDSM, or any sexual role play, is a way for emotional cripples to evade true intimacy. Joyce and Giles played with handcuffs in "Band Candy" (far [[Too Much Information]] for Buffy). Willow mentioned wanting to be spanked on "The I in Team", and Anya in the same episode saying, "Yes, we've enjoyed spanking." Buffy mentioned "a favor" with outfits to Riley in "Family", and Faith said that safe words were for wusses on "Consequences" (technically the last one is not BDSM, since it's not safe, sane or consensual).
** Averted with the Buffy/Spike relationship which involves rough sex, handcuffs, biting (by Buffy, not Spike) and [[Making Love in All the Wrong Places]], yet despite the fact that Buffy participates fully she always feels ashamed and tries to hide what they're doing from the other Scoobies.
* Blair and Chuck's relationship on ''[[Gossip Girl]]'' involved handcuffs, frequent references to punishment, roleplaying, and the other uses bidding paddles can be put to.
Line 57:
** Chandler also once dated a dominatrix, who left him handcuffed to a chair because she had to go to a meeting, with [[Hilarity Ensues|hilarity ensuing]].
* In ''[[Desperate Housewives]]'', where Rex was the only really sympathetic character in the whole show (which is probably why they killed him off), and his conservative wife's reaction to his kink was portrayed negatively.
** It's not strictly that. She was willing to go along with it because she loved him, but when she thought he'd bragged she reacted negatively.
* Implied in a [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]] kind of way with [[Affirmative Action Legacy|Brigadier Bambera]] and [[Knight in Shining Armour|Sir Ancelyn]] in the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' story "Battlefield". Unless you think there's some other interpretation to be put on him asking if she's single the day after their first meeting involved her beating him up and manacling him.
* The ''[[Charmed]]'' episode "The Wendigo" reveals that Phoebe just ''happens'' to have a pair of handcuffs lying around... and refuses to admit where she got them.
Line 65:
** But still spoiled in an episode where the husband has an attack while going into rough stuff with his wife. It turns out his wife, for no reason that is stated clearly, has been poisoning him with a gold-based compound.
* In ''[[CSI]]'' with the character of Lady Heather, a [[Brains and Bondage|highly intelligent, articulate, and urbane dominatrix]] who was briefly one of Grissom's love interests. For the most part, she was portrayed as a generally good, decent person.
** But then ''[[CSI]]'' spoils it by having every other victim or criminal of the week be into rough sex.
* Female protagonist Beckett in ''[[Castle]]'' is shown to be interested in BDSM, immediately identifying a specially-made pair of handcuffs and the shop which it probably came from. Castle's safe word is "apples".
* In ''[[Sugar Rush (TV)]]'', the main character tried spanking, which was portrayed as normal, though the person who suggested it turned out to be unfaithful.
* In ''[[Coupling]]'' Jeff and his girl-friend are shown to engage in bondage in one episode where it is played for [[Hilarity Ensues]] rather than for moral disapproval.
* A really jaw-dropping example in the ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine]]'' episode "Let He Who Is Without Sin...", in which it's casually dropped that Worf's and Jadzia's (happy, consensual) sexplay has been known to lead to '''broken ribs'''. Some way past [[Safe, Sane, and Consensual]] if you're human, although knowing Klingons... (Indeed, Klingons see a broken collarbone on their wedding night as a blessing on the union.) Not to mention how easily broken ribs can be repaired in the series.

== [[Video Games]] ==
* In ''[[World of Warcraft]]'', your goblin female character sometimes say: "''I'm a free spirit. I don't like to be tied down. Wait, you meant literally? Oh, I'm totally into that!''". Characters of certain other race-gender combos also say things that can be interpreted in a similar direction, but they are less obvious about it.
 
== [[Web Animation]] ==
* ''[[SaladfingersSalad Fingers]]'' is big on this - the main character himself is a rust fetishist, looking for rusty spoons to caress. As surreal as these stories are, his fetishism serves to make him seem ''less'' alien and inhuman.
