== Anime and Manga ==
* The entire reason [[Naughty Tentacles]] were infamously used in ''[[Urotsukidouji]]'' was to bypass censorship laws restricting the portrayal of male genitalia in Japanese pornography.

== Literature ==
* In the ''[[Anita Blake]]'' series, there's [[Shower of Love|a scene]] between Anita and Micah that is not supposed to be rape. Even though she said, "No," several times, and Micah didn't stop. Anita and Micah are destined mates because of the ''ardeur'', which gets this sort of treatment regularly, due to forcing Anita and whomsoever close to have sex, occasionally forcing rape on both parties.
* In ''[[Harry Potter/Harry Potter and Thethe Half-Blood Prince (novel)|Harry Potter and Thethe Half-Blood Prince]]'', this is referenced but ultimately averted. Merope, Voldemort's mother, forces his father into their relationship via a Love Potion. And the only moral problem with this is that she's having sex with a [[Muggle]]... Or so it seems, at first. [[Subverted Trope|However]], this way of looking at the morality of her actions turn out to be limited to the views of [[A Nazi by Any Other Name|Death Eaters]] and similar [[Fantastic Racism|pure-blood advocates]]. Of course, the muggle himself acts with utter revulsion once the potion wears off, and Dumbledore refers to what Merope did as enslavement by magical means. The reader is left with an impression that Voldemort's refusing to see his mother as a rapist (instead blaming his father for refusing to succumb to the mind-control — and thus abandoning his son) is a big part of why he became so hateful toward muggles.
* Averted in the ''[[Sword of Truth]]'' series. The glamor spell, the series' equivalent of this, is seen by characters as tantamount to rape. Sorceresses who use it are either executed or expelled from the Palace of the Prophets (the Palace has a spell which [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old|slows down aging to about 10%]], so there is little difference between the two for the exiles).
* Averted pretty hard in ''[[Stationery Voyagers]]'', where rape by Eros gas is something only the most depraved of villains even consider. Its effects on its victims amount to pretty much numbing most higher brain functions while amplifying sexual desire, like taking Viagra and drinking tequila at the same time, but not quite as dangerous.
