Simply put, this is a character who has been [[Made a Slave]] for the sexual desires of others. This happens especially often in [[Dystopia]], [[The Empire]], and the darker versions of [[Fetish Fuel Future]], either to [[Crapsack World|show how much the world sucks]], or, well, [[Romanticized Abuse|just because]]. In the former kind, the '''Sex Slave''' is rarely a protagonist. At best, she's a [[Damsel in Distress]] for the hero to rescue. At worst she only exists as a narrative tool to show the audience that either her enslaver is a [[Complete Monster]], or — if sex slavery is shown as being normal for the culture — this is indeed a [[No Woman's Land]]. In the [[Romanticized Abuse]] kind, however, she ([[Lady Land|or]] [[Equal Opportunity Evil|he]]) is usually the protagonist. In that case, expect [[Property of Love]] and [[Freedom From Choice]] to come along with [[Happiness in Slavery]].
The contrast between some of the more [[Fetish Fuel|risque aspects]] of this trope and the [[Crapsack World]] environment it usually occurs in can often create [[Unfortunate Implications]]. In some works, the slavery can [[Stockholm Syndrome|develop]] into a [[Property of Love|mutual relationship]]. Expect [[Bathe Her and Bring Her to Me]], [[Go-Go Enslavement]], and/or a [[Slave Collar]].

{{examples}}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* ''[[Dragon Pink]]'': The protagonist of this Hentai Manga and Anime is Pink, whose "class" (in RPG terms) is being a sex slave for the party leader. After the third chapter, a curse turns her into a [[Catgirl]], which makes her fall even further down the social scale, from a sex slave into a sexual pet.
* ''[[Yuria 100 Shiki]]'': If [[Sex Bot|Dutch Wife]] Yuria has sex with someone, she automatically becomes programmed to become said person's sex slave.
Line 50:
* Many assassins and allies of Womenrica end up as this if they go after Akuji in ''[[Daiakuji]]''. Considering they supported a misanthropic government that did attempt to wipe men off the earth, [[Asshole Victim|they deserve it.]] Some however [[Sex Face Turn|join Akuji's side]] because he is [[Sex God|that good at sex.]]
== [[Comic Books]] ==
* "The Slavers", a [[Punisher]] arc, has Frank Castle taking on a slave-trafficking ring. The horrible things that the slavers do to the people they've enslaved hits every one of Castle's [[Berserk Button]]s concerning mistreatment of women and children in general, resulting in [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge|one of his most brutal killing sprees]].
* [[The Incredible Hulk]] features a surprising amount of this. In one story, the Maestro, an insane, evil version of the Hulk, rules the world and keeps a harem of slave girls for this purpose.
Line 57:
** Emp herself was nearly taken as one, but the Robot sent to capture her decided her butt was too big. [[Aren't You Going to Ravish Me?|She was more devastated by the insult than her good fortune]].
== [[Fan Works]] ==
* In ''[[Chaos Is Very Good]]'', Discord threatens to do this to Luna.
* A good chunk of the plot to the ''[[Care Bears]]'' fic ''[[All Good Things Start Somewhere]]''.
Line 81:
* In ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'' fanfic ''Offering to the Demon King'', Ganondorf wants to make Princess Zelda into one for him. Some of his sons also force various women they capture into becoming their sex slaves.
== [[Film]] ==
* ''[[Blue Velvet]]'': Dorothy Vallens is forced into this role after her child and husband are kidnapped by a local crime-boss Frank. Eventually, she develops a sort of [[Stockholm Syndrome]] and seems to take a twisted pleasure in Frank's rape at one point.
* In ''[[Don Juan Demarco]]'', the titular mental patient relates a yarn about spending a year in the 'service' of a lusty Sultana. Not that he seems to've minded much. It probably helped that she kept him hidden in the Sultan's harem (apparently she didn't mind sharing.)
Line 97:
* The 2016 horror movie ''[[Siren]]'' gives this a unique twist. The male protagonist's friends take him to a bizarre strip club for a bachelor's party, which has a weird occult theme; he thinks one of the strippers there, Lily, is a trafficking victim and helps her escape. He's ''technically'' right - she is a [[Horny Devil|succubus]] summoned by the club owners for this purpose. "Lily" is short for [[Lilith]] - and even worse, she now likes him [[Yandere|a little too much...]]
== [[Literature]] ==
* In Anne Bishop's ''[[Black Jewels Trilogy]]'', two of the three main male good guys were pleasure slaves in Courts in Tereille. Aside from Daemon and Lucivar, there's also Jared (pre-Invisible Ring) and a small army of others.
** Jaenelle and the Briarwood girls also count, being kept in a secure facility, drugged, and used for sex on a regular basis.
Line 134:
* In ''[[The Odyssey]]'', this happens to Odysseus on the final phase of his journey home, courtesy of Calypso; she tries to convince him love her, but was still forcing him to be her lover against his will, eventually letting him go when it proved hopeless. Depending on the version, it was also the case with Circe; if anything, he was forced to give in to a [[Scarpia Ultimatum]] as part of the deal to release his men (who [[Baleful Polymorph|she had turned to swine.]])
== [[Live-Action TV]] ==
* The plot of Season 2 of ''[[The Wire]]'' kicks off when a shipping container full of dead Eastern European sex slaves are found on the Baltimore docks.
* Orion slave girls from ''[[Star Trek]]'' are an interesting example, as they were [[retcon]]ned in ''[[Enterprise]]'' into secretly being the ''rulers'' of their race. They used the pretense of being sex-slaves to infiltrate enemy organizations, and then used [[Love Is in the Air|powerful pheromones]] to control any males they wished, as they did with the males of their own species. The whole set-up [[Stealth Pun|came across]] as a bit of an awkward plot device, though, and some argue that this situation carries more [[Unfortunate Implications]] than just playing the trope straight.
** Another interesting ''[[Star
** ''[[Star Trek: Voyager]]''. The holodeck program ''The Adventures of Captain Proton!'' (a [[Flash Gordon Serial|Flash Gordon]] expy) has slave girls that the players can rescue. Presumably they are [[Rescue Sex|quite grateful]] to their saviours.
** In ''[[Deep Space Nine]]'', Bajoran women were kept as "comfort women" during the Cardassian occupation.
Line 150:
* Though we don't see it directly in ''[[Firefly]]'', it is implied that the sexual slave trade is around. When Mal discovers River in Simon's cryo box, the first thing he assumes is that Simon is smuggling her to be sold to a Border-world baron.
== [[Music Video]]s ==
* The video for ''[[Bad Romance]]'' depicts [[Lady Gaga]] as one of these. {{spoiler|At the end of the video, she burns the man who buys her to death.}}
== [[Tabletop Games]] ==
* ''[[Earthdawn]]''. The Theran Empire designated some of its slaves as "Pleasure Slaves".
* ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]'': Dark Eldar and followers of Slaanesh practice sexual slavery.
Line 164:
** The third-party ''Book of Erotic Fantasy'' actually has a spell called ''sex slave'' that can brainwash a victim for this purpose; the text does explicitly say use of the spell is an evil act.
== [[Video Games]] ==
* ''[[Fallout 3]]'': Alejandra, one of the Temple Of The Union residents, is a former sex slave. Crimson and Clover are current sex slaves (the Lone Wanderer can even buy the latter, but [[Celibate Hero|nothing sexual]] comes out of it), and Red becomes a sex slave if you send her to [[Non-Indicative Name|Paradise Falls]].
** In ''[[Fallout: New Vegas]]'' although all the player ever sees of Legion slaves is them carrying heavy loads, it is heavily implied that the women are subjected to rape on a regular basis, and a bit more subtly that the men aren't just used as pack mules either.
Line 179:
* In ''[[Ultimate Ghosts 'n Goblins]]'' (the fifth game of the original ''[[Ghosts 'n Goblins]]'' franchise) it is "revealed" (by retcon) that this is the intended fate of Princess Prin Prin, the bad guys intending to invade and conquer the mortal world using half-demon offspring with royal blood from both worlds, which they would force Prin Prin to bear. Horrific, yes, but these are demons we're talking about. This motive is also used in ''[[Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection]]'', the 2021 remake of the first two games.
== [[Web Comics]] ==
* Alisin from ''[[Fans]]'' was [[Rape as Backstory|kept as a sex slave]], which led to her [[Cycle of Revenge|refusing to let Feddyg go after they had sex, which led to him...]] well... [[Complete Monster|doing a lot of things]].
* ''[[Collar 6]]'' has the main character as one of these in a future where BDSM lesbian harems seem to be the norm.
Line 188:
* In ''[[Endstone]]'', they think [http://endstone.net/2009/07/15/issue-2-page-4/ they can enslave Kyri because she's a higher animal and one customer doesn't want her slaughtered yet].
== [[Web Original]] ==▼
▲== Web Original ==
* A very common backstory in the [[Furry Fandom]]. Usually furries are created by [[Humans Are the Real Monsters|humans]] as a [[Slave Race]], then they run away or rebel.
** Specific example, in ''[[Chakona Space]]'' many species of Morph were created for this express purpose, by 2090 [[The Federation]] had banned Morph slavery but in the 24th century when most of the stories take place there are still quite a few sex slave traits in the gene pool (ranging from simple [[Buxom Is Better|big breasts]] to [[Hermaphrodite|hermaphrodism]].
Line 198 ⟶ 197:
* In the comic/animatic [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IBHD7UPquA seen here], the defiant elf prisoner ''thinks'' this is what the slavers intend her fate to be. In truth, what they want her for is far worse. (Note, of course, this is a parody, in any realistic situation, it would ''not'' be worse.)
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* In the ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987 series)|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'' episode [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|(yes, you heard that right)]] "Rebel Without a Fin", [[Mad Scientist]] Dr. Polidorius creates Ray - a [[Fish Person]] - and then kidnaps April and turns her into a female version, intending her as a mate for Ray. Obviously, April wasn't eager to cooperate, and given the ending of the episode, it seems Ray wasn't very keen on the idea either.
