Sometimes, [[Vampires Are Sex Gods]] is a supernatural effect and used to lure [[Muggles]] to the [[Vampire Bites Suck|dinner table]].
This trope is when [[Love Is in the Air]] is caused by the presence of an alien or fantastic creature, and works like a more passive version of [[Aliens Made Them Do It]]. It's generally a first-season ploy by sci-fi shows to get ratings through sex. Can also be [[Fan Service]]. For the single-target version, see [[The Pornomancer]].

* Several characters in Marvel comics have this is a main or secondary power. Including an alien love God named Eros and Wolverine's son Daken. There's also Jessica Drew's Spider-Woman.▼
* Emily Crowe from [[Desolation Jones]] underwent an experiment to augment her pheromone production, but it [[Gone Horribly Wrong|backfired]] and she now triggers [[Brown Note|fear and revulsion]] [[Power Incontinence|in everyone she meets.]]▼

* In ''[[The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy/So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish|So Long And Thanks For All The Fish]]'', the mythical Fuolornis Fire Dragons are said to have had this effect:

* There are a few examples in the [[Star Wars Expanded Universe]]. ''[[Marvel Star Wars]]'' introduced Zeltrons, redskinned near-humans who had pheromones, emotion-affecting abilities, and attraction to Force-Sensitives. ''[[Shadows of the Empire]]'' introduced Falleen, reptilian humanoids with much more powerful "date-rape" pheromones.
* The Novelization of ''Star Trek: The Motion Picture'' explains that Ilia has this effect on humans. The movie itself just makes it look like Sulu has the hots for bald chicks.
* In ''[[The Dresden Files]]'', vampires of the White Court can have this effect on humans in proximity. Whether or not they can ''control'' it is another matter entirely. Thomas in particular has a lot of trouble simply holding down a job, since he keeps getting assaulted by the amorous attentions of his coworkers, at which point the [[Double Standard]] kicks in and he gets fired because his bosses assume ''he'' started it. Their blood has a similar effect, "disabling" a pair of Harry's werewolf allies after they attack one.
* People do get "in the mood" during dragon mating flights in the ''[[Dragonriders of Pern]]'' series. All dragons have vast psychic power so during a mating flight their feelings influence anyone near them. This fact of life is why Weyrfolk have such a relaxed attitude towards sexual relations; it's unreasonable to expect people to remain chaste until marriage when they are frequently exposed to a
** The smaller ancestors of the dragons, Fire Lizards, also have this effect but to a much lesser extent.
** Gold dragons and gold and green fire lizards also have this effect on each other, with sometimes fatal consequences. The males are triggered to a mating flight by a female's heat, and if a non-broody female is in the area when a mating flight happens, she may be triggered into her own heat and fight the first female for possession of the males.

* In the ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'' episode "Hathor", a Goa'uld who has taken over the role of the Egyptian goddess of [[Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll|Fertility, Music, and Inebriation]] finds her way into SG-1's base and turns every man there into crush-addled slave via [[Love Is in the Air|some unknown brew of pheromones and other stuff]] before using [[Cunning Linguist|Daniel]]'s DNA (and by "using Daniel's DNA," we mean "making him have sex with her while under her mind control gas," and no, it [[Rape Is Ok When It Is Female On Male|wasn't okay]].) to father her children.
** A brand of the stuff that skips the romance part is used in later Goa'uld's arsenals. One whiff is apparently enough to brainwash someone indefinitely until it can be counteracted.
* On ''[[True Blood]]'', Maryann has this effect on everyone around her. {{spoiler|She's a maenad, a follower of Dionysus, and almost a god in her own right.}} She uses the orgies she creates around her to disguise her real intention: {{spoiler|bringing Dionysus into physical form}}.
* The monster in the [[X-Files]] episode "Genderbender" is this, seducing its prey with human pheromones, killing them with sex, and assuming their identity.
** And Jade Blue Afterglow from the episode "First Person Shooter" who was a stunningly gorgeous suspect in a murder case. She comes in for questioning in a tiny leather camisole/skirt combo, and every male in the precinct goes insane.

* Alisha on ''[[Misfits]]'' has this as her superpower; she's able to drive anyone she touches into a state of lust. This is treated as [[Blessed with Suck]], though, as she can't even carry on a proper relationship with her boyfriend unless she wants to risk things entering rape territory.
* ''[[Star Trek: Enterprise|Star Trek Enterprise]]''. The famous Orion slave girls make an appearance, and are somehow able to give all the Earth women headaches and all the men hard-ons. Later the Orion captain admits that actually men like him are the slaves, to these women. Fortunately [[Mindlink Mates]] T'Pol and Trip are immune and so help take back the ship.

* [[All There in the Manual|According to the backstory,]] [[Darkstalkers|Makai]]'s succubi, including Morrigan and Lilith, are able to magically generate intense and spontaneous lust in mortal humans (though how much this is magic and how much of them being sexy [[Horny Devils]] in [[Stripperiffic]] outfits is up for debate).
