* The best-known Aztec account of Huitzilopochtli's birth says his mother Coatlicue was impregnated with him when a ball of feathers fell into her lap.
* The story of Jesus' birth in ''[[The Bible]]'' is sometimes accused of being this. In the Book of Matthew (note that the books of the New Testament were originally separate texts, only later compiled into the whole we have today), we are told nothing whatsoever about how Mary felt about divine impregnation. The Book of Luke is better about this: we get a scene where an angel tells Mary she is going to conceive and bear a son, and Mary is happy about this. However, the angel doesn't actually ask what she wants; it just tells her what's going to happen.
== Theatre ==
* In [[William Shakespeare]]'s comedy ''[[A Midsummer Night's Dream]]'', Bottom is the victim of a supernatural practical joke, and is given the head of a donkey. Titania, the fairy queen, is the victim of another practical joke, dosed with a love potion, and forced to fall desperately in love with the next thing she sees. That would be the aforementioned Bottom. As soon as love-mad Titania casts eyes on Bottom, she wants him. Bottom, (who's having a bad day) decides to head home, not realizing that she's a fairy queen, and fairy queens aren't used to hearing the word "No". The scene of her capturing Bottom is never played as anything but hilarity, not say, kidnapping and sexual slavery.
* Possibly happens in the play ''[[Angels in America]]''. It [[Or Was It a Dream?| may or may not be a dream or vision]] when the Angel appears before Prior (although the Angel is clearly real), but he claims this is what she did to him, not to mention that [[Our Angels Are Different| she had eight vaginas]]. He seems rather blasé when talking about it, especially given he's in love with someone else and gay, but then, the hell he's put through in the first act is most likely much worse.
=== Web Comics ===
* ''[[Something*Positive]]'' [https://web.archive.org/web/20140317083118/http://www.somethingpositive.net/sp10212011.shtml alludes to this]:
