Chained to a Bed: Difference between revisions

* Happened in [[Anne Rice]]'s book ''Lasher''. Since that was a woman, it was, yes, deadly serious.

* In Peter Robinson's ''Friend with the devil'', one of the investigating detectives finds a suspect tied to the bed in a hotel room. She proceeds to interrogate both him and his lover, before letting the lover untie him. It's just as awkward and absurd as it sounds.

* In Courtney Milan's ''Proof By Seduction'', Gareth insists that Jenny wear a much fancier dress than the plain fare she prefers, and won't let her voice any objections. She [[Show Some Leg|lifts her skirts to above her knees,]] slooowly peels down one of her stockings, and then climbs on his lap for makeouts. While he's distracted, she uses the stocking to tie one of his hands to the chair behind his back. Then she climbs off his lap and archly tells him to free himself. When he furiously declares that he can't reach the knots with his free hand, she tells him she can't reach the laces on the back of that fancy dress either. She's too poor to hire a lady's maid, and the plain dresses are the only ones she can put on and off by herself.

* ''[[Vampire Kisses]]'': Played with in the first book when Raven distracts Trevor by making out with him and then stealing his clothes that he had taken off, thinking that he was gonna score with her. The next day at school, she plays a prank on him by supergluing his underwear to her locker.

* A very dark example of this is in ''[[Less Than Zero]]'' where a twelve year old girl is tied to a bed, and given drugs as she gets used as a sex slave.

* In ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'', an amnesiac and confused Vala escapes from Mitchell by stealing his clothes and handcuffing him to a hotel room bed. The rest of team finds him half naked and covered in junk food.

* Happened to Greg's father Edward in ''[[Dharma and Greg]]'', involving Penn from [[Penn & Teller]]. The girl cuffs him and walks out, then Penn comes in. A pause, then Edward says, "Oh, I sure hope you're here to rob me."

* In ''[[The X-Files]]'' two-part episode "Dreamland," Mulder and a [[The Men in Black|MIB]] have [[Freaky Friday|had their bodies switched]]. When Scully figures out that something's wrong (in part because "Mulder" has been [[Celibate Hero|coming on to her]]), she gets control of the situation by playing along with his advances and then handcuffing him to the bed. (When he tries to talk his way out of it, addressing Scully as "baby", she warns him that if he does so again he will be "[[Groin Attack|peeing through a catheter]]".)

* Played straight in ''[[Life On Mars]]''. Sam Tyler is drugged by a prostitute (who is, of course, working for the antagonist of the day) and tied naked to his bed, left for his co-workers to find. And [[Blackmail|she took incriminating-looking photos]] of the two of them while he was unconscious.

** In season three, Quarles binds Brady to a bed and tortures him to death. The crime was part of Quarles' long history of abusing male hustlers.

* Happens to ''[[Angel]]'' all the time since his friends believe that is the practical solution every time he is in danger of having lost his soul. Inversely his vampire ex-friends chain him up for having a soul. Can't really win that one.

* Sam does this in ''[[Las Vegas]]'', before she leaves him to be ''raped'' by someone else.

* ''[[How I Met Your Mother]]'', happens with Barney once...or so he says.
