== Straight Examples ==
"Straight" as in "the character taking pity doesn't act by proxy", not "trope played straight" or "not bi or gay".
 
=== Comic Books ===
* In ''[[Empire State]]'', Sara describes a date with a very unattractive man that ended with the two of them making out, partly because she felt sorry for him and partly because she didn't want him to think she was shallow.
Line 26 ⟶ 28:
* In ''[[Soap]]'' Jody has turned Carol down multiple times due to his homosexuality. When they're on holiday together, as friends, she starts crying and as he comforts her, they end up having sex.
* ''[[Better Off Ted]]'': When Veronica was promoted to management, there was another employee with the same last name up for the same promotion, and a typo in the memo made it unclear which of them had been promoted. A few years later she meets the other employee again and finds out that his life since then had gone completely down the toilet, so she starts dating him out of guilt. {{spoiler|She finally brings herself to dump him when Ted finds another memo proving that the promotion really was meant for her.}}
 
=== Western Animation ===
* Lana has sex with Pam after taking pity on her in the first season finale of ''[[Archer]]''.
* Leela and Zapp on ''[[Futurama]]'', and there's a suggestion that he uses this [[Wounded Gazelle Gambit|intentionally]] to make women sleep with him.
* In ''[[Drawn Together]]'' Xandir, who is [[Camp Gay]], "tosses a mercy-fuck" to [[Hollywood Pudgy]] Toot. He clearly didn't enjoy it.
* On ''[[American Dad]],'' Hayley needs a favor from her brother Steve. The price is admitting that Steve ''might'' one day get a long-time female friend to have "awkward pity sex" with him once.
