* Thoroughly [[Averted]] in [[Girls Love]] [[Visual Novel]] ''[[Aoi Shiro]]'' with the [[Cool Old Guy]] Suzuki Yuukai. You'd think an old man living alone in a rural temple would be a lot more... ''invigorated'' being surrounded by blooming, beautiful highschool girls. To be fair, Suzuki is an acquaintance of the father of girls' teacher, so he view them (including said teacher) as granddaughters. He does become {{spoiler|Nekata Tsu}}Nami's adoptive grandfather in some route.
* One sidequest in ''[[Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning]]'' has the Fateless One searching all of Amalur for an old monk's collection of ribald literature.

* Speaking of the Middle Ages, there were several periods where the [[Corrupt Church|corruption of the Church]] reached all the way to [[The Pope|the top]]:
** The tenth and early eleventh centuries were known as the "pornocracy" (="rule of the prostitutes") in Rome, when the Pope's mistresses (frequently Roman nobles) and their friends (frequently the mistresses' brothers) ran Rome and the Church "[[Cartoon History of the Universe|by means fair and foul]]." At about the same time, discipline in the lower ranks was also notoriously bad, with priests, monks, and bishops regularly indulging in luxuries and other things that really ought to be off-limits to one who has taken vows of chastity and poverty.
** During [[The Renaissance]], the Popes were once again taking mistresses and generally behaving badly. While the most famous for his womanizing (and other things) is [[Complete Monster|Pope Alexander VI (Rodrigo Borgia)]], the other Popes of the era got in on the act, as well. At the same time, most priests and lower-level ecclesiastics were not half as bad, but many bishops, most archbishops, and pretty much all the cardinals engaged in lives of luxury, intrigue, nepotism, and multiple mistresses. However, the Reformation (and consequent Counter-Reformation) put the kibosh on all that with the new rule that clergy had to be celibate and could no longer own property.
* A Buddhist monk in Sri Lanka [http://www.lankanewspapers.com/news/2008/11/35891_space.html was arrested] in 2008 for running a brothel.
