'''''Netorare''''' (寝取られ, lit. "cuckold", also commonly abbreviated as NTR) is a notoriously controversial genre of [[Hentai]] (or in rarer cases, [[Ecchi]]), with [[Pet Peeve Trope|a degree of infamy]] perhaps rivaled only by full-blown [[Guro]]. Even the horniest [[Image Boards|/d/viants]]<ref>Not ''necessasrily'' [[Deviant ART|those ones]]</ref> are [[Even Evil Has Standards|resistant of embracing the genre]], and if one finds an example uploaded at certain shady websites, one would only need to look at the comments section to see the [[Internet Backdraft]] that will inevitably ensue.
 
On the ''bad'' side of [[Good Adultery, Bad Adultery]], and as its name suggests, Netorare is essentially a genre whose goal is to project discomfort on the audience's part (much like horror flicks are intended to provoke unintended bowel movements), where the discomfort comes in the form of sexual jealousy. Typically, a heroine will be introduced as having a significant other, which may be a husband, a boyfriend, or even a partner in a [[Belligerent Sexual Tension|BST]] affair. The story will then show the aforementioned heroine being intimate with another man ([[Girl-On-Girl Is Hot|another girl just doesn't pack the same punch]]), thus provoking jealousy in the audience by proxy. The nature of the affair varies, and the parties involved may be willing or unwilling: sometimes the girl is simply [[Your Cheating Heart|cheating]], sometimes it's in the form of a [[Scarpia Ultimatum]], some other times, it's rape, or the man may simply be pimping his sweetheart out to earn their bread. Netocare's also on the ''good'' side of [[Good Adultery, Bad Adultery]], as explained in more detail in both [http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/love-sex/cuckolding-relationship-cheating-infidelity-explains-love-life-a7478921.html this article] and on [http://toy4her.wordpress.com/2011/05/07/commentary-on-the-cuckold-husband this blog].
 
Of course, the parties involved may be of either gender. [[Most Writers Are Male]], so commonly it's the woman who engages in the proceedings. Also, it doesn't have nearly the same effect if the [[Harem Genre|genders are switched]]; in fact, [[Double Standard|most of the guys love it.]]

== Anime and Manga ==
* ''[[Anime/AnotherCrossing World|AnotherMan Worldand Woman]]''
** Its extension ''[[Dreamlike Days]]''.
* ''[[Crossing Man And Woman]]''
* A chapter in ''[[Girl Material]]''.
* Painfully done in ''[[IllI'll Protect You]]''.
* The first story ''Animal Trainer'' in the series ''[[Choukyoushi Fujii]]'' is about a woman who has an affair with her boyfriend's friend, even though he's practically perfect.
* ''[[Immoral Sisters]]''
* A brief scene in ''[[My Sister]]''.
* ''[[Hen Zemi]]'': Komugi harbours this particular fetish,and actively tries to invoke it with his girlfriend.
* ''[[Otona Ni Naritai]]'': Pictured above
* ''[[Otona Ni Naru Mae Ni]]''
Line 40 ⟶ 37:
* Touched in ''[[Wanna Do It]]''.
* ''[[Visual Novel/BLUE Series|BLUE Series]]''
** ''[[Triangle Blue]]'': the [[Original Video Animation|OVAs]], heavily focused on the cuckouldcuckold part, disregarding the romantic moments from the [[Visual Novel]].
*** The original version "Trouble!" (Triangle Blue is the remake) had no cuckouldcuckold (it does have male cheating but apparently that's okay). The added cuckould make the series so much more famous.
** Present in ''True Blue'' and it's OAV. NTR is only one part of the [[Visual Novel]] anditand it was not nearly as bad as the OVA made it out to be. The same thing can be said for most eroge that have NTR elements.
* Ditto ''[[Warau Kangofu]]''.
* ''[[When You Let Go Of My Hand]]'' (A rare example where it's resolved, though it's highly arguable if you would consider it a happy ending.)
* ''[[Evergreen]]''. It gets ugly...
* ''[[Cat Head Imako]]'' - [[Internet Backdraft|Infamous]] for its [[Mood Whiplash|unexpected]] [[Genre Shift|change]] from a comedy oneshotone-shot H-manga to a darker tale of drug addiction-fueled NTR {{spoiler|...and its [[All Just a Dream|equally]] [[Mind Screw|unexpected]] [[Happy Ending|ending.]]}}
* The ''[[School Days]]'' anime adapts an [[Multiple Endings|optional]] netorare event from the game. Basically, it has Makoto first being surprise-kissed by one of the girls in his [[Unwanted Harem]], then having sex with ''almost all'' of the girls [[Took a Level in Jerkass|and getting worse and worse with time]], {{spoiler|until the girl who kissed him first snaps so badly that she kills him. Then ''another'' of the girls kills '''her''', and then runs away with [[Alas, Poor Yorick|Makoto's severed head]].}}
* If a [[Shoujo]] or [[Josei]] manga has a [[Bastard Boyfriend]] as a male lead, it'll have at least a NTR variation in the plot. I.e., the ''infamous'' ''[[Sensual Phrase]]'' scene in which {{spoiler|Sakuya snaps on Aine, drags her home by force and ''barely'' stops himself from raping her}} comes from a misunderstanding in which {{spoiler|Aine was unwillingly given a hickey by a [[Hopeless Suitor]] and Sakuya thought otherwise.}}. And ''[[Haou Airen]]'' has {{spoiler|Hakuron raping his girlfriend Kurumi in front of her newfound friend Kaafai when she leaves him, to force them see that Kurumi is with him and only him}}, as well as {{spoiler|Kurumi having [[Sex for Solace]] with Hakuron's [[Dragon]] Fuuron despite being still with Hakuron, and Reilan trying to get Kurumi gangraped in front of Hakuron ''specifically'' to taint her in the eyes of everyone. (Two of the three HA examples, however, backfire HORRIBLY.). }}.
* ''[[Netori Netorare]]'' although it seems more mild than other netorare doujins.
* ''[[Nozoki Ana]]'': A very huge, hurtful example that many readers were predicting for ages. Not only was {{spoiler|Yuri Kotobuki}}, the girl in this situation, {{spoiler|cheating on weekends}}, but she decided {{spoiler|she'd rather have sex with her rich boyfriend instead of spend Saturday with her other boyfriend, the lead male Kido. ''On Kido's own birthday''.}}
* Alluded to in [[Air Gear]], with {{spoiler|Hako}} referring to {{spoiler|Ringo}} as "NTR # 1" and accusing her of cockblocking either her or {{spoiler|Kururu}}, as they both squabble to become {{spoiler|Ikki}}'s link turner. {{spoiler|Ikki chooses Ringo anyway.}}
* While there's no 100% direct netorare in ''[[Mawaru Penguindrum]]'', the ''extremely'' complicated [[Love Dodecahedron]] that includes ''almost all of the current cast'' has given place to the following [[Memetic Mutation]]: '''"(insert name) is getting NTR'd"'''. It actually started as "{{spoiler|Kanba}} is getting NTR'd", due to {{spoiler|[[Big Brother Instinct|Kanba Takakura]] showing open jealousy towards [[Brother-Sister Incest|his little sister]] [[The Cutie|Himari's]] closeness to her handsome new doctor, [[Manipulative Bastard|Sanetoshi Watase]].}}; the subtle and not-so subtle parallels to the Netorare Genre were inmediatelyimmediately noticed by the fandom, and one thing led to another...
* There are ''many'' PG-13-rated parallels to the Netorare Genre in the plot of the ''[[Ah! My Goddess]]'' movie. More exactly, {{spoiler|the [[Anti-Villain]] [[Big Bad]], Celestine, sends out [[The Dragon|his right hand]] and local [[Dark Magical Girl]] Morgan to ensnare Keiichi's attentions and try driving him away from a [[Laser-Guided Amnesia|amnesiac]] Belldandy. Since Belldandy had retained some of her feelings for him ''despite'' having been mindwiped... when she saw Morgan plant a [[Forceful Kiss]] on Keiichi and mistakenly believed that they were lovers, [[Heroic BSOD|her mind collapsed completely...]] and Celestine used her jealousy to get to her and turn her into his [[Apocalypse Maiden]].}}
** A large portion of H-Doujin of ''Ah! My Goddess'' are NTR. So much that they make multi-volumes from differantdifferent artists.
* Invoked in ''[[High School DxD]]'' by {{spoiler|Diodora to Ise when he decides to steal Asia from him. [[Curb Stomp Battle|Ise wipes the floor off of him.]]}}
* In ''[[Black Lagoon]]'' during ''El Baile De La Muerte''{{spoiler|, there was a scene between Roberta and a former colleague during her assassin years, and Garcia Lovelace is watching close-by. Soon after that [[Black Widow|Roberta kills the guy]] and almost killed Garcia after he revealed his position, she is far from sane.}}
* [[The Girl in the Library: Until The Pure You Falls From Grace]] has one of the worst examples because by the fourth chapter/episode, Yukiha goes to her own rapist willingly when her boyfriend, Aida, fails to satisfy her. Masami, the rapist, agrees to have sex with her if Aida is made to watch. Yukiha agrees to it and Aida's heart is not only broken while watching, he suffers a complete mental breakdown.
 
== Fan FicWorks ==
 
* In ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5154854/1/PITCH PITCH]'', Light has sex with L and, {{spoiler|after tying him up and gagging him, forces Aiber}} to watch. It's different in that L and Light are already together, and Light is trying to make {{spoiler|Aiber}} realize that L is not available.

* A ''possible'' [[Alternate Character Interpretation|interpretation]] for {{spoiler|Prussia torturing and raping Hungary in front of her ex-husband Austria}} in the infamous ''[[All He Ever Wanted]]''.
** There's also a kinkmeme fill in which Denmark gets so jealous of Norway's relationship with his younger brother Iceland, that he fucks Norway in front of Iceland solely to "show Iceland who Norway belongs to".
* Defied in ''[[Reconciliation]]'', a ''[[Katawa Shoujo]]'' fanfic in which Lilly and Hisao get together after Hanako's bad ending and Hanako, despite having isolated herself from the two out of guilt, harbors feelings for Hisao. [[Word of God]] states early on that the fic is not intended to be NTR, and in the third chapter, {{spoiler|Lilly calls Hanako to tell her about Hisao's death}}.
 
 
== Film ==
Line 72 ⟶ 68:
* ''Husbands and Lovers''
* ''Bitter Moon''
 
 
== Literature ==
* In Paul Di Filippo's short story ''"And the Dish Ran Away With the Spoon''", the heroine is stolen by {{spoiler|an intelligent assembly of household objects, including a vacuum cleaner, a food processor, and a blanket. That hurts.}}

== Tabletop Games ==
* [[Crapsack World|It's]] [[Vampires Are Sex Gods|not]] [[Creepy Awesome|surprising]] that this happens in ''[[Vampire: The Requiem]]''. Netorare is usually just implied with [[Fridge Horror|the art and a few throwaway lines]], but there are some large, [[Tear Jerker|heart-breaking]] plots that emphasize it.
** ''Ancient Bloodlines'' speaks of a vampiric Babylonian priestess' [[Lesbian Vampire|lesbian lover]] being taken from her forcibly by the [[The Emperor|En emperor]]. Turns out the lover eventually fell for her abductor in typical NTR fashion. Unlike other netorare stories, the priestess got her revenge on them by creating the [[The Power of Hate|Iltani]] and [[Eldritch Abomination|edimmu]].
** The trope is taken '''''[[Up to Eleven]]''''' with [[Meaningful Name|the Honeymoon Hijackers]] Charles and Charlene Greengrass. They were kidnapped and turned into vampires on their respective wedding nights by cruel sires, with their spouses killed. Charles and Charlene meet one another ten years after their abductions, instantly recognize the predicament of the other, and fall in love. They [[Your Soul Is Mine|diablerize]] their sires, escape vampire society, get into a scary codependent relationship, [[Love Makes You Evil|then perform netorare scenarios and serial killings on any recently married couple they can find.]]<ref>Diablerie causes vampires to sometimes pickup traits of the soul they ate. It's implied that's why the couple do what they do, despite their actions mirroring their own tragic histories.</ref>
{{quote|Mess with their heads. Get it so the victims love their keepers, will do anything for them (even better if they can work one of the couple against the other--[[Lampshade Hanging|so sweet, that betrayal]]).|'''Night Horrors: Immortal Sinners, pg. 74'''}}
*:* Coming full circle, Charlene cheats on Charles. [[Destructive Romance|He doesn't know, but she wants him to.]]
 
 
== Web Original ==
* On [[Literotica]] this genre is a source of [[Flame War]]s in the loving wives section.
* In ''[[Sailor Nothing]]'', {{spoiler|Seiki}} is forced to watch while his Yamiko rapes {{spoiler|Himei}}.
* ''[[Gaia Online]]'' has [https://web.archive.org/web/20110808083350/http://www.gaiaonline.com/marketplace/itemdetail/2015/ thisthe itemOutlaw Biker Shirt]: "After he stole your girlfriend, all that was left in the room was this shirt. He prolly left it there just to piss you off." It's notable for being one of the earlier items on the site.
 
 
== Video Games ==
* [http://vndb.org/g513 Here's the giant list].
* Tends to happen quite often in ''[[The Sims]]'' especially if you're not careful with relationship management and/or don't have a No Jealousy hack installed and decide to have a threesome or [[Love Dodecahedron]].
* The [[Visual Novel]] of ''[[School Days]]'', mentioned above.
* ''[[Visual Novel/BLUE Series|BLUE Series]]''
** ''[[Triangle Blue]]'': very well known [[Visual Novel]] in Japan, seen as a synonym of [[Netorare|NTR]] there.
 
 
== Other ==
