* In ''[[The Wheel of Time]]'' books, Mat encounters the widowed Queen of Ebou Dar, a nation in which men are second-class citizens. Mat is repeatedly raped by the Queen, frequently tied down at knife-point and forced to be her sexual servant against his will. This is all treated as [[Black Comedy Rape|comedy]] because Mat is normally a consumate flirt. The fact that he is sexually victimized is treated as [[Disproportionate Retribution|his come-uppance]] for his previous behavior. When finally freed of the Queen's subjugation, he reflects that he will miss her. If the sexes were reversed, this would be seen as a creepy example of [[Stockholm Syndrome]], but due to the prevailing theme of [[Hot Amazon|dominant, aggressive women]] in the series, it's more likely a case of [[Author Appeal]].

* In the book ''Conrad's Time Machine'', the main character is raped by three women; he says he doesn't think they should be prosecuted like male rapists should, and in fact we later discover this was part of his bachelor party that his best friend set up for him.

* In Peter David's ''The Woad to Wuin'' (sequel to ''Sir Apropos of Nothing''), the first chapter is a parody of ''[[Lord of the Rings]]'' in which the eponymous character finds "the One Thing to Rule Them All", an artifact which makes him irresistible to women (as well as perpetually virile), including his [[Tsundere|antagonist love interest]]. He spends quite a few days tied down in an inn being raped by women before being rescued by a mock-Fellowship, and going off (unwillingly) to rid himself of the Thing. When he finally succeeds and returns, he of course is blamed for "forcing" himself on the woman, and she storms off.

* In an episode of ''[[You Rang, M'Lord?|You Rang M Lord]]'' Teddy hits on a plan to get out of marrying a woman he doesn't love: when she's spending the night at his house he'll creep into her bedroom and then do nothing. She'll assume he's impotent and call the wedding off. He doesn't count on how enthusiastically she'll react to finding him getting into bed with her, and although the character is quite unhappy about what's happened, it's played for laughs.

* In the ''[[Red Dwarf]]'' novel ''Last Human'', Lister is forced to marry a hideously ugly Gelf (Genetically Engineered Life Form). The situation is played mostly for laughs, but his emotions during the sex are touched on in a curiously realistic way:
