{{quote|'''Kerrigan:''' Captain Raynor, I've finished scouting out the area and... You pig!
'''Raynor:''' What? I haven't even said anything to you yet!
'''Kerrigan:''' Yeah, but you were thinking it.
'''Raynor:''' Oh, yeah, you're a telepath. Look, let's just get this over with.|''[[Starcraft]]''}}
Line 46:
* In the ''[[Kim Possible]]'' story ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3560875/1/Nights_in_the_Big_City Nights In The Big City]'', the Sensei of the Yamanouchi ninja academy says that because of the monkey spirit's sense of humour, "I have been given the ability to read minds, but only when they are in the gutter".
* This ''[[Tin Man (TV series)|Tin Man]]'' [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4044972/1/Brother_Raw_Explains_It_All_For_You fanfic] uses a version of it. [[The Empath|Raw]] isn't sure quite what to make of the truly strange emotions coming from two of his human friends, as Viewers handle the whole mating thing much differently. Unfortunately for him, he finds out.

* Tends to show up in ''[[Golden Sun]]'' kink meme prompts and fills, especially when Ivan (noted for being rather fond of his mind reading powers in canon) is half the pairing. Possibly nodded to in ''Dark Dawn'', when it's noted that Ivan is no longer quite so thrilled with his mind reading powers.
Line 53:
* About half of the movie ''[[What Women Want]]'' was this.

'''Male Professor''': Amazing.
'''Nick''': This is from the cafeteria here at the college. Oh, remind me not to eat here. ''(he sets it down and picks up another knife)'' This is… oh God… oh Jesus…
'''Female Professor''': Yes?
'''Nick''': ''(throws down the knife)'' A woman… her husband's back… eight…''nine times!''
'''Female Professor''': ''Yes, we know.''
'''Nick''': You know? How could you give that to me? Don't you know how hard it is for me to have to see things like that?!
'''Male Professor''': We have to test you. In science…
'''Nick''': Now I won't be able to sleep! What a sight! His… oh… ''(lowers his head to the table but then suddenly lifts it back up)'' Someone has had sex on this table.
''(the professors glance at each other guiltily)''
'''Female Professor''': Thank you Mr. Deezy, that will be enough for today. }}
Line 79:
* In the ''[[Heralds of Valdemar]]'' novels, people with strong enough "Mindspeech/Mindhearing" or "Empathy" can listen in on another's amorous encounters -- sometimes even when they're trying to screen it out.
* In the [[Dresden Files]], Molly tries to examine a dead woman's last memories to help solve her murder. {{spoiler|[[Death by Sex|The woman was killed by a White Court Vampire]].}} She got this trope. {{spoiler|''Yeah she did.''}} It lead to this memorable exchange:

'''Butters''' She got ''something'', all right. I haven't gotten anything like that in two years. }}
* Invoked in ''[[Garrett P.I.|Angry Lead Skies]]'', where Garrett encounters a strange race of <s>aliens</s> silver elves.

(later)
'''Dilbert:''' I must admit, this is the first time I've been on a date with a two-headed telepath. Now I'm sure some of the thoughts you're picking up seem strange and disturbing, but I assure you, these are perfectly normal thoughts for a guy -- (the woman grabs the tablecloth in disgust and horror) -- Well, maybe not that last one. }}
