* 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:
{{quote| There is, for some unfathomed reason, something almost unbearably sexy about having huge fire-breathing magical dragons flying low about the sky on moonlit nights which were already dangerously on the sweet and fragrant side... No sooner would a flock of half a dozen silk-winged leather-bodied Fuolornis Fire Dragons heave into sight across the evening horizon that half the people of Brequinda were scurrying off into the woods with the other half, there to spend a busy breathless night together and emerge with the first rays of dawn all smiling and happy and still claiming, rather endearingly, to be virgins, if rather flushed and sticky virgins. Pheromones, some researchers said. Something sonic, others claimed.}}
* 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.
Line 27:
* 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.
{{quote| '''Mulder (after watching Jade Blue Afterglow saunter down the hall)''': I don't know about you, Scully, but I am feeling the great need to blast the crap out of something. }}
* 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.
