* One issue of ''[[The Spectre]]'' from the mid-80s shows a remarkably explicit (for a title not part of DC's "mature" ''Vertigo'' line) ... ''something'' ... going on between Spectre and Madame Xanadu. The action for the first several pages alternates between Spectre doing his normal grim work and Madame X, obviously nude and surrounded by the fog that indicates Spectre's presence in incorporeal form, writhing in apparent ecstasy. It's strongly implied that all of this is happening simultaneously.

* In [[Birds of Prey]]: Dead of Winter, we have this line from a gory fight:

* In ''[[Goldeneye]]'', Xenia Onatopp clearly enjoys killing her victims a little too much. This is especially true of her fight with [[James Bond (film)|Bond himself]].

'''Bond: ''' (pulling a gun on her) "No, no, ''no''. No more foreplay. Take me to Janus." }}

* [[Mr. and Mrs. Smith|Mr. & Mrs. Smith]] are the King and Queen of this trope. After setting off a bomb in her husband's pocket, Jane [[Car Fu|slams into her husband's car]] to prevent him from getting in the driveway. Then comes the best scene of [[Sex Is Violence|Sex is Violence ]]ever. First, they have a [[Gun Fu|Gun Fu Battle]] [[Leap and Fire|ranging all over their house.]] Then after John uses the gas line to blow up his wife, he jumps [[Battle Amongst the Flames|through the flames]] and they proceed to have a fight full of [[Asskicking Pose|Ass Kicking Poses]], [[Improvised Weapon|using weapons like silverware,]] [[Grievous Bottley Harm|liquor bottles,]] walls, [[Use Your Head|headbutts from Jane]], [[Hoist Hero Over Head|Jane tossing]] [[Punched Across the Room|from John,]] a [[Groin Attack]] by Jane and [[Combat Pragmatist|many other dirty, dirty fighting moves]] Luckily, they are [[Made of Iron|both made of iron]] and love each other, so the [[Destructo-Nookie|fight spirals down to, of course, sex.]]

* At times, it seems this trope is deliberately invoked or explored in ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]''. The series often presents a link between combat and the sexuality of Slayers and Vampires. When the characters discuss fighting, they sound like they're talking about sex. Notably, Faith gets off on both combat and sex, and tries to get Buffy to enjoy it like she does. Also, many vampire attacks have extended rape metaphors. Most obviously done in "Bad Girls" and "Fool For Love."

'''Buffy''': Well, I ... I do beat him up a lot. For Spike that's like third base. }}

** Plus, the first time Buffy and Spike have sex is in the middle of a fight. They go from bashing each other to peices to kissing to have sex all in the same 30 seconds.

* ''Meaning of Life'' (a.k.a. [[Refrain From Assuming|"Get Psycho"]]) by [[Disturbed]] is often confused for battle music. Listen to the lyrics. You'll hear it.

* "Poker Face" by [[Lady Gaga]].

* [[Florence and the Machine]]'s "Kiss with a Fist" seems to be about this (though the singer says it's meant to be metaphorical).

* [[Defied Trope|Defied]] by the band ''Bush'' in their song "Everything Zen".

* [[Kanye West]] makes an interesting pun about gang-banging in "Hell of a Life."

* The top-page quote from [[Janes Addiction]]'s "Ted, Just Admit It" takes this view. It should be noted that the song depicts the viewpoint of [[Real Life]] [[Serial Killer]] Ted Bundy.

* Silver Mantis from ''[[City of Heroes]]'' is a metal fetishist and sidekick to Black Scorpion. She gets quite excited during your fights with her.

** Her dialogue during the battle with her in the Statesman Task Force is quite blatant about this for a teen-rated game.

Defeating a player character: "Done already? I hoped you'd last...longer." }}

* ''[[Togainu no Chi]]'': Shiki's preferred method of pummelling Akira into submission.

* Han Juri of ''Super [[Street Fighter]] IV''

* In ''[[Blaze Union]]'', it's revealed that due to their demonic heritage, fighting is extremely physically pleasurable for both Gulcasa and Emilia. Gulcasa is ''usually'' not outwardly enthusiastic about it, but Emilia is a different story entirely. This is something of [[Sex as Rite-Of-Passage|a plot-relevant metaphor]] in one route.

* The Four Guardians in ''[[Mega Man Zero]]'' seem to ''really'' enjoy fighting Zero... to quote Harpuia (who's practically tame compared to [[Yandere|Leviathan]]):

* There was a genuine example in the ''[[Tales of MU]]'' between Mack and Sooni:

* [[Older Than Dirt]]: Several cave paintings in France and Spain have been found depicting the inhabitants hunting large animals while sporting [[Gag Penis|ginormous erections as long as their legs]].
