== Anime & Manga ==
* The ''[[Moonlight Lady]]'' OVA invokes this trope in a particular way; in final preparations for the Expecting Moon Ceremony, Koichi must engage in constant sex with [[Meido|Tomomi and Sayaka]] and several other random women. Suzuna, on the other hand, is left alone to have [[A Date with Rosie Palms]].
Line 99 ⟶ 98:
* Chuck Bass on ''[[Gossip Girl]]'' pretty much uses this as his excuse when he beds everything with a pulse to keep himself from feeling the hurt of Blair leaving him.
* ''[[Coupling]]'' In the episode, "The Girl With Two Breasts", Jeff is asked out by his hot coworker, Wilma, and since, he's not the best at speaking, he wears a wire so the other members of the group can listen in and give him advice. Wilma propositions him for sex which Jeff is resistant to, since he's dating his boss, Julia. However, Wilma says she's also seeing someone and is just looking for some fun on the side, asking, "How can you say no to a night of unconditional sex?". Susan is furious when she hears this and demands that Steve tell Jeff the reason he can say no, but Steve is unable to think up a reason, eventually blurting out, "[[Crowning Moment of Funny|Jeff, don't. It might be a trick]].", leaving Susan quite angry with him.
* Watch any given episode of ''[[Jerry Springer|The Jerry Springer Show]]'' or ''[[Maury]]'' and you'll see cheating men offering this as their defense.
* [[Mad Men]] plays with this trope. Men are blamed for not resisting their urges, and women are blamed for luring men to fall prey to their urges. But the show itself demonstrates that everyone has these desires and people are complex and flawed.
* Discussed in [[Misfits]], where Nathan claims that "The siren call of a blow job renders all men powerless."

Line 130 ⟶ 128:
* While not exactly an ''explicit'' situation, one cutscene from ''[[Persona 3]]'' where Junpei comments about offering as-yet-unseen new teammate Fuuka Yamagishi "private lessons" invokes this trope after Yukari displays disgust at the notion:
{{quote|'''Junpei''': I'm a ''guy''. What'd you expect?}}
* Invoked but consistently averted in [[Clannad (visual novel)|Clannad]]. While Tomoya is often called out on his apparently obvious lecherous thoughts, given the opportunity he always acts in a gentlemanly manner. He's given rather clear opportunities several times in Tomoyo's route, one with Ryou in Kyou's route and either Kyou or Tomoyo when locked in the storage locker. He doesn't even sleep with Nagisa for several months after getting ''married'' despite his apparently perverted nature.
* ''[[The Elder Scrolls]] IV'' ''[[Oblivion]]'' This comes up in the quest, "The Siren's Deception". The player has to track down a gang of female thieves who use this trope and lure men out to remote locations, promising them sex, and then rob them. Additionally, part of the quest requires you to get information from Gogan, their latest victim, who's married. He uses this as his excuse.
Line 141 ⟶ 139:
* Clearly what's being implied in [http://sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/20100127 this] ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'' strip. Torg tells Sasha to stop changing her clothes in front of him. She tells him to just look away until she's finished. Torg considers this utterly unreasonable.
* A non-sexual version in ''[[Exterminatus Now]]'':
{{quote|'''Jamilla''': "How can you all be so flippant? You think [[Kill Sat|Exterminatus]] is "cool"? All that terrible destructive power hanging over us in the sky. The power to reduce cities to ashes, mountains to dust. To annihilate entire populations in an eyeblink. The power of Gods in the hands of mortals. Its terrifying. How can you possibly consider that cool?"
'''Rogue''': [[Subverted Trope|"We're guys?"]]
'''Virus''': "Yeah, how can we not?"
'''Eastwood''': "We just saw a really big explosion while riding in a flashy, high-performance aircraft- If you got your boobs out, we could all die happy right now." }}
** ...well, ''mostly'' non-sexual.

== Real Life ==
* Some wives of rock stars eg. Donna D'Errico have gotten little sympathy from fans when the husbands cheats because rock stars get so many opportunities that you should expect they will cheat (like most women don't get plenty of opportunities to cheat).
** This seems even more prevalent among professional basketball players, to the point where practically everyone (including many of their wives) seems to just assume infidelity is the default.
* Brothel madam Xaviera Hollander writes in her memoir ''[[The Happy Hooker]]'' that the wives of her married clients are often the ones to blame and that a wife who doesn't like sex anymore should allow her husband to see a prostitute
* The ''Daily Record'' columnist Just Joan says that women who have gone off sex have only themselves to blame if their men stray
* [http://www.villagevoice.com/2010-06-01/news/is-this-woman-too-hot-to-work-in-a-bank/ Debrahlee Lorenzana] was supposedly fired from Citibank for dressing sexily. Problem is, she's in more-or-less normal business attire, and she even tried not wearing makeup or straightening her hair-she's just ''that hot''. [https://web.archive.org/web/20100607073310/http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/archives/2010/06/the_sexy_banker.php A related article] jokingly included ''[[Doctor Who]]'''s Eleventh Doctor.
* Sheik Taj Din al-Hilali and his infamous [http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/nation/muslim-leader-blames-women-for-sex-attacks/story-e6frg6nf-1111112419114 "cat and uncovered meat"] parable wherein he blamed cases of sexual assualt solely on women themselves because of their immodest dressing habits and alluring behavior. Intentionally or not, he basically implied that men shouldn't be expected any kind of restrain from whatsoever.
* The whole idea behind women wearing veils as often practised in Islamic countries.
