Thanks to [[Applied Phlebotinum]], two characters are in a situation where they have to have sex in order to save their lives. Frequently used in [[Fanfic]], especially [[Slash Fic]].

{{examples}}
== Anime and Manga ==
* In a yaoi called ''[[Animal X]]'' a race of reptile like people need to breed to save their race, the only problem is there are zero females and they don't want to mix blood with humans, so when one of them does find a guy {{spoiler|who turns out was a girl at birth (even though no one told him)}} and he has their blood, well the whole thing turns into this guy who didn't even know he was a girl being nearly raped (eaten in one occasion where the guy was hungry and forgot he what he was suppose to do) by every other guy he encounters, plus {{spoiler|he is slowly turning back into a girl.}}

== Fan
* In the ''[[Harry Potter]]'' fandom, the Snape/Lupin [[Shipping|ship]] saw a great number of [[fanfic]]s using this trope, where Snape and Lupin were imprisoned together right before a full moon. This would mean Snape's death as soon as Lupin took upon his werewolf form, but if Lupin considered Snape as his "mate", the werewolf would spare them. Therefore...
** A particularly horrible fanfic featured a once-in-1000-years event where Hogwarts ghosts would compulsively kill anyone who was innocent (i.e. a virgin). Hermione didn't quite get out, so ''Snape'' had to go in to rescue her... yes, ''that'' way.
Line 44:
{{quote|"This is a fanon invention that has Elves, who are dying either of wounds or grief, "bond" with another Elf or man, by mingling their blood, having sex and thus getting new strength; sort of leeching life off the other and forever living like that. In this case, if one of the Elves "bonded" dies then the remaining Elf must find someone else to bond with or also die. I found no explicit or implicit grounds for this in Tolkien's writing. Still a very interesting concept. Once again Laws and Customs of the Eldar, History of Middle-earth: Morgoth's Ring holds the most information regarding elven relationships."}}
* A [[Darker and Edgier]] ''[[Redwall]]'' fanfic used this to explain Veil's conception. Swartt had apparently no interest in Bluefen in canon, yet they had a kid. The characters involved are [[Talking Animal|anthropomorphic]] ferrets, and the females have a tendency to develop diseases of the bone marrow if they don't mate at the appropriate time. Sooo ...

* ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'': There's
* ''[[Naruto]]'': There is an Ita Saku
▲* ''[[Naruto]]'': There is an Ita Saku oneshot floating around in which Sakura had ingested nightshade, and the fastest way for her to burn it out of her system long enough to make an antidote is to have sex with a certain Uchiha.
▲** ...I can't even BEGIN to describe how stupid this is...
* This trope comes up fairly often in any given fandom. Often takes the form of, essentially, something akin to this: a character afflicted with a poison/drug/substance/aphrodisiac/etc that for whatever reason amps up their sex drive [[Up to Eleven|times eleven]]. Not only does it make them virtually crazy with lust, their partner is confronted with the knowledge that if the afflicted is not satiated they'll suffer horrible consequences ranging from extreme discomfort/injury, to insanity, to actual death. Mate or die, truly. Oh and having sex once isn't good enough. It's going to last for hours.
* A milder version comes up in quite a lot of ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic

Line 106 ⟶ 105:
* In the visual novel of ''[[Fate/stay night]]'' people can share their magical energy by having sex. This paves the way for {{spoiler|Shirou and Saber having sex before confronting Berserker and Gilgamesh on two separate occasions, and Shirou having sex with Rin before fighting Archer in the UBW section of the novel.}}
** This also holds for HF, due to {{spoiler|the fact that the worms in Sakura's body and the strain of maintaining Rider are burning up her prana like crazy, which makes her clamor for anything that can restore it. Largely meaning sex. It starts out embarrassing for her and Shirou, but [[The Power of Love|they're in love, so they don't mind]]}}. Rather [[squick]]ily, this is also the reason why {{spoiler|Zouken had [[Brother-Sister Incest|Shinji]] [[Rape as Backstory|regularly rape Sakura]] and was implied to have done so himself--training her with Crest Worms massacred her prana supply}}.
* In ''[[Dragon Age]]'', {{spoiler|Morrigan will make an offer for either you (if your PC is male) or Alistair/Loghain to sleep with her in order to save either of you from having to make a [[Heroic Sacrifice]] to kill the Archdemon.}}
* ''[[Leisure Suit Larry]]'' contains an [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEhzNKZtQtg in-game time limit] which kills off the main character at dawn. Any sexual activity (even with a paid sex worker) stops the clock.
