{{quote|''[[Double Standard|Obviously if you're watching a scene with a woman tied to a bed while]] [[Rape As Drama|a man forces sex on her]], the final act of that movie will involve said man getting shot in the face by [[Bruce Willis (Creator)]]. [[Double Standard Rape (Female On Male)|If, on the other hand, it's a man being tied down and forced into sex by a pretty lady]], well, [[Black Comedy Rape|you're watching a wacky romantic comedy]].''|From '''[[Cracked]].com''''s [http://www.cracked.com/article_18756_7-romantic-movie-gestures-that-can-get-you-prison-time.html#ixzz10dWTtaOj list of romantic movie gestures that can get you prison time.]}}
'''''It's a tie game with no score.'''''
Line 16:
Sometimes the setup is used for dramatic, rather than comedic effect, as the person who was chained to the bed is now helpless and at the mercy of the person who tied them up or whoever discovers him. In the comic example the victim is nearly [[Always Male]]; in the dramatic example the victim might be male or female. If it ''is'' a woman chained to a bed it's much more likely that it's [[Double Standard|deadly serious]].
Compare [[Chained to A Rock]] and [[Bound and Gagged]]. Often [[Fetish Fuel]]. May lead to [[Cuffs Off, Rub Wrists]].
{{examples}}
Line 57:
* In ''[[The French Connection]]'' Gene Hackman's character wakes up like this and his partner lets him out. Played to suggest this is not a particularly unusual occurrence for him.
* In the slasher ''[[Valentine (Film)|Valentine]]'', Paige (Denise Richards) responds to a guy's advances with this (as well as a blindfold). After asking if he still wanted her to "wax it," she takes one of the nearby candles and pours [[Exact Words|melted wax]] [[Groin Attack|on him]].
* In ''[[Forty Days and Forty Nights]]'', the protagonist has given up all forms of sex for Lent due to a string of unfulfilling relationships, but as he nears the end of his last day he's starting to crack. So he asks his roommate to handcuff him to his bed so he doesn't give in to the urge to [[A Date With Rosie Palms|"help himself"]]. {{spoiler|He wakes up just in time to discover his ex-girlfriend broke into the apartment and [[Double Standard Rape (Female On Male)|raping him while unconscious]] just to win a bet, and [[Finagle's Law|of course]] his love interest enters the scene just in time to get the wrong idea. He has to apologize to her, with the [[Unfortunate Implications|logical inference]] that if you're a man who's raped trying to fulfill your vow of chastity, it's your own fault.}}
* In ''[[Hostage]]'', Jennifer Smith (Michelle Horn) is tied to a bed by psycho serial killer mercenary Mars (Ben Foster). She's rescued in the nick of time by her kid brother before Mars can do anything rapey. In somewhat of a fulfillment of the quote above, Mars is later killed during a confrontation with [[Bruce Willis (Creator)]] (although not shot in the face).
* In ''[[Idle Hands]]'', when things are getting hot and heavy with Molly, Anton ties his own hand to the bed. He's doing it for her safety, but she thinks he's just being kinky.
Line 109:
** Don't forget Patrick handcuffing ''himself'' to the bed in anticipation of his girlfriend bringing back another woman for their supposed threesome. Needless to say, Earth logic need not apply. Again.
* Inverted in the ''[[Star Trek Voyager]]'' episode "Favorite Son". Harry Kim is stranded on a planet of [[Horny Devils|Amazon Vampire Succubi]] that secretly want to suck his life out by having deadly sex with him. He's discovered their plans, so when two of them come to seduce him he suggests to them that he'd like to do it with them tied to the bed. As soon as they're bound, his escape attempt ensues.
* Inverted in ''[[Farscape (TV)|Farscape]]'', in the episode "What Was Lost- Part 2." John Crichton is being interrogated by Commandant Grayza, the fourth season's [[Big Bad]]; her interrogations involve pheromone-assisted rape, and [[Double Standard Rape (Female On Male)|it is most definitely not okay]]. However, after dosing himself with a stimulant to resist Grayza's pheromones, Crichton suggests that the next round involve bondage: as a result, Commandant Cleavage is left tied to the bed, humiliated and seeking revenge.
* Happens to Casey in ''[[Chuck]]'', with the result being that Casey breaks the headboard off and beats down his capturers with the piece of wood. It's also implied that this is not the first time this has happened.
** And then happened to Chuck in "Chuck vs. the Suburbs".
Line 175:
* Tip in ''[[Skin Horse]]'' lets Julie chain him to a bed with her police handcuffs for some kinky sex. Afterward, she leaves him chained up "for his own protection." However, the handcuffs don't present Tip with much difficulty in the end.
** [http://www.webcomicsnation.com/shaenongarrity/skinhorse/series.php?view=archive&chapter=38295#strip3 "Honestly. Like I've never been handcuffed to a bed before."]
* Happened to the titular character of ''[[Dominic Deegan]]''. Played completely for [[Black Comedy Rape|comedy]], because it's [[Double Standard Rape (Female On Male)|Rachel and Dominic]]. Comic [http://www.dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2005-07-22 here].
** What's interesting is the massive amounts of [[Dude, Not Funny]] reaction from the fan forum
*** Well, it was very much implied to be non-consensual (as Dominic claims to have had "no choice in the matter"), so treating it as comedy (compared to the male-on-female rape that is treated as [[Rape As Drama|drama]]) has some [[Unfortunate Implications]].
