Sex Slave: Difference between revisions

Unfortunately, this is [[Truth in Television]], although [[No Yay|generally]] [[Squick|quite]] [[Sick and Wrong|different]] from the fetishised fantasy. [[wikipedia:Forced prostitution|Forced prostitution]] in general amounts to this. Human trafficking in particular is one of the biggest ways that people are enslaved like this.

{{examples}}

* ''[[Fushigi Yuugi]]'':

** In the manga version, the group enters a [[Lady Land]], and the [[Dropped a Bridget On Him|guys must dress like women]] to get through safely.

** Also, Soi was sold to a brothel by her impoverished family when she was a little girl. At the age of 12, she is [[Attempted Rape|about to be]] [[Rape as Drama|punished]] by her pimp for refusing to have sex with a client, but is rescued by Nakago. (She is also "used" by him for her sexual healing powers, but does so willingly out of love, [[Love Martyr|even knowing that the love is more or less one-sided.]])

** The emperor of Kutou kept [[Cute Shotaro Boy|Nakago]] as a sex slave [[Rape as Backstory|in the past]]. This is Nakago's [[Start of Darkness]].

* ''[[Black Butler]] II'': Episode 8 reveals that {{spoiler|old man Trancy captured many [[Shotacon|young boys]] to choose sex slaves from, raped most of them, and Alois ended up being his favorite sex slave right up until either he died of old age, or Alois killed him.}} Also, the flashbacks in the manga to when {{spoiler|Ciel is kept as a self-described 'pet' to the cult members}} has several panels that suggest this probably happened to him.

* [[Ax Crazy|Legato]] [[The Dragon|Bluesummers]] from the ''[[Trigun]]'' manga was revealed to have been one in his past... until Knives happened upon the town Legato was in and massacred everyone. Legato managed to use his strings to stop Knives from killing him at the same time, and then said he was going to let him go, so he could kill him if he wanted, but please don't. Knives decided he was interesting, and asked [[The Nameless|his name]], and [[Mad Love|the rest is history]]. This notably explains Legato's insane loyalty in the face of Knives' indifference and cruelty in really depressing terms: Knives isn't ''good'' to him, but he's better than anyone else ever was.

* Being reduced to this drove {{spoiler|Mai Kamio}} insane to the point of {{spoiler|a [[Face Heel Turn]]}} in ''[[Video Girl Ai]]''.

* What Chaka wanted to do to Yukio in ''[[Black Lagoon]]'', after stripping her of power within the Washimine clan. Ginji, Rock, and Revy stop him, though. {{spoiler|And Ginji gives him a [[Cruel and Unusual Death|Cruel And Unusual]] [[Karmic Death]].}}

* [[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.

* Ninjette of ''[[Empowered]]'' was intended as one for her clan. Training her to be a [[Badass]] ninja first was probably a bad idea. Emp herself is nearly subject to this in the "Cosmolactic Emperor's" harem.

** 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]].

== Fanfic ==

* In ''[[Chaos Is Very Good]]'', Discord threatens to do this to Luna.

* Take virtually any pairing where there is [[Unresolved Sexual Tension]] and there will be a story about one of the two involved in the relationship making a bet where if the other loses they have to be their slave, often times a sexual slave. This is a quick and easy way of getting rid of the tension and making them an official couple in the story.

* Most ''[[Glee]]'' slash fiction involving Kurt features this theme (with Kurt being the slave in question.)

** ''Power Plays'' has Asuka and Hikari willingly doing dom/sub with Shinji and Touji, respectively.

* The ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' fanfic ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6499617/1/ Contract]'' has Ven becoming one for [[Horny Devil|Van]][[Foe Yay|itas]], after the latter tricks the former into making a contract to bring him out of his [[Deus Angst Machina]] status.

** There's also a [[Fandom Specific Plot]] in the ''Potter'' fandom centered around the fetishized version of this trope. The set-up is as follows: Voldemort has won, Harry and all the "good" characters whom the author doesn't care to write about are dead, and someone (usually Hermione) is made a slave to one of the hotter Death Eaters (most commonly Draco, Snape, or Lucius). It varies whether she is explicitly made into a sex slave or if she's just a slave and the "sex" part is "unofficial". Either way, the set-up is followed by a [[Porn Without Plot]] bondage fantasy, which [[In Name Only|might as well have nothing to do with]] ''Harry Potter''.

** Another fanfic, ''[http://yamirkins.livejournal.com/1333.html An Asian's Harem of Asians]'' has Japan as a [[Complete Monster]] and [[Memetic Molester]] who sexually enslaves '''''many''''' of the Asian nations, [[OC Stand In|OC nations included]]. In the fic itself he personally rapes at least three of them while planning to rape everyone later, and forces the rest to either rape each other or sexually serve him via erotic massages or other stuff. [[Squick]] doesn't begin to describe it, and even worse [[Fridge Horror|when you recall]] [[wikipedia:Comfort Women|what DID happen in Real Life...]]

** Yet another [[Axis Powers Hetalia|APH]] fic, ''[[Debt (fanfic)|Debt]]'', has [[Complete Monster|China]] force America and England (Along [[An Arm and a Leg|with]] [[Eye Scream|some]] [[Tongue Trauma|nasty]] mutilation) into being this. After a few chapters, [[Stockholm Syndrome]] comes in, making the fiction ''very'' unsettling to read.

* ''[[The Street Fighter]]'': Because the guy who hired him didn't have enough money to pay him for the job he did for him, Terry sent the guy out the window and then sold the guy's sister into sexual slavery. It's quite the dick move on Terry's part, cementing him as a ''very'' dark antihero, and when the sister gets out of this, she is very much pissed at Terry and goes after him for revenge.

* In ''[[Manos: The Hands of Fate]]'', this is the sickening [[Fate Worse Than Death|fate]] of {{spoiler|[[I Have Your Wife|the hero's wife]] ''and'' [[Squick|his]] [[Lolicon|child]].}}

* The "Furniture Girls" in [[Soylent Green]]. The one owned by the murder victim even becomes the love interest of Ty Thorn.

* Three or four unfortunate young blondes are locked in an attic as forced prostitutes in ''[[The Sinful Dwarf]]''.

* ''[[Deadgirl]]'': The titular zombie girl is used as a sex slave after a pair of teens discover her chained in the basement of an abandoned mental hospital. The discovery that she is undead only provokes her captors into even [[I Love the Dead|further depravity]].

** Depends on the era. After the Draka developed perfect contraception and switched to using serf women to carry Draka fetuses female Draka were allowed to have male sex slaves. And the genetically engineered 'new race' is altered to be universally bisexual, apparently.

* [[Piers Anthony]] invokes this in ''[[Bio of a Space Tyrant]]'', where the hero's older sister Faith gives herself up to pirates as a sex slave in order to save her fellow refugees from being destroyed. [[It Got Worse|Even more dispiriting than it sounds,]] since the family had fled the planet to protect Faith from being raped in the first place.

* In [[Graham McNeill]]'s [[Warhammer 40000]] [[Horus Heresy]] novel ''False Gods'', Maggard is sexually exploited by his mistress. On top of having his vocal cords removed because it was unfitting for him to speak in his mistress's presence.

* In Nora Keller's ''[[Comfort Woman (novel)|Comfort Woman]]'', Akiko was forced to serve as a military "comfort woman," a sex slave provided to troops during the Japanese occupation of Korea in [[World War II]]. Her daughter Beccah does not know of this history, and as she learns of it, she comes to understand her mother's apparently strange ways.

* 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]]''.

** Another interesting ''[[Star Trek|Trek]]'' example: In one episode of the [[Star Trek: The Original Series|Original Series]], [[The Kirk|Kirk]] is the well-treated prisoner of the ruler of an [[Planet of Hats|Ancient Rome Planet]]. A female slave is sent to his quarters by his captor. The slave makes it clear (quite suggestively) that she was ''ordered'' to please Kirk. It's left unclear whether Kirk actually has sex with her, but it is clearly at least a possibility.

** ''[[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.

* Zev (or [[The Nth Doctor|Xev]]) of ''[[Lexx]]'' was going to be made one of these, but she broke free before the mental reconditioning was implemented. This conditioning was inflicted instead on 790, the robot drone overseeing the operation. Since the conditioning resulted in the victim falling hopelessly in love with the first person s/he saw next, 790 became obsessed with Zev, devoting himself to her completely.

* Every Active in ''[[Dollhouse]]'' is used for this frequently.

* In ''[[Battlestar Galactica]]'', one of the many signs that the ''Pegasus'' crew have crossed the [[Moral Event Horizon]] is their use of a captured Number Six Cylon as a sex slave.

* The final series of the ''[[Murphy's Law]]'' revolves around the search for a missing police officer who has been caught up in a sex slave ring. Does a very good job at describing just how brutal and terrifying the real thing can actually be.

* ''[[Lost Girl]]'' plays with this: the closest anyone comes to using the word "slave" to describe Lauren is when she refers to herself as the Ash's property, even though she clearly is a slave, even to the point of wearing a [[Slave Collar]]. She nevertheless enjoys a great deal of prestige within the fae community, and is primarily valuable as a slave for her medical expertise. All the same, when it suits his purpose, the Ash orders her to seduce and sleep with Bo, even though it ends up wrecking her relationship with Bo when she finds out that that was why Lauren slept with her.

* 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.

* ''[[Earthdawn]]''. The Theran Empire designated some of its slaves as "Pleasure Slaves".

* ''[[Warhammer 40000]]'': Dark Eldar and followers of Slaanesh practice sexual slavery.

** This is also common among Imperial nobility, though whether they're called courtesans, consorts, slave or whatever else varies depending on the specific [[Planet of Hats|planet]]. As long as the nobles don't go to far (which is [[Crapsack World|pretty far]]), the Inquisition doesn't care.

* ''[[Exalted]]'': In addition to the "regular" form, some populations have been raised, trained, and even bred (or worse yet, genetically engineered!) for this. A particularly disturbing case of the "regular" variety is found in the Djala, who are slender, delicately built pygmies. True pygmies; as adults, they do not exceed 4'10". Don't think about it too much.

== Video Games ==

** 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.

** There's also an entire quest ("Bye Bye Love") set in the casino of [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Gomorrah]] to break a prostitute out of sexual slavery done in a similar fashion to [[Real Life]]: Joana is an expensive hooker who's controlled by her bosses using her drug addiction and threats of violence.

* After you are invited to Davik's estate in ''[[Knights of the Old Republic]]'' you are encouraged to enjoy a relaxing bath at the hands of his slaves. This being [[BioWare]], there ''are'' male and female slaves...

* This is the entire point of the ''[[Slave Maker]]'' flash game series.

* The implication of what Ser Alrik [[I Have You Now, My Pretty|intends to do with Ella]] by [[Mind Rape|threatening to make her Tranquil]] in the ''[[Dragon Age II]]'' quest "Dissent".

** Fenris is implied to have been one, as well as a slave [[Super Soldier]]. [[Word of God]] has confirmed this.

* 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.

** Since it's explained later on that the Talmi were historically a [[Slave Race]]...

** Mentioned again when Geisha imagines [http://www.lastres0rt.com/2011/08/for-once-i-like-the-way-geisha-thinks/ what could be happening to Jigsaw] {{spoiler|now that she and some of the other players have been captured by Gabriel}}.

== Web Original ==

** 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]].

*** Leanna Fennec was designed on a Non-Aligned World where slavery is still legal and most slaves have an overt or hidden sexual purpose, shi was meant to be a combination exotic sex slave and industrial spy (which probably contributed to her [[Asshole Victim|master's]] [[Make It Look Like an Accident|"accidental"]] death).

*** Notably, the titular Chakats were ''not'' designed for this, despite being herms with continually lactating breasts, high sex drives, and [[The Empath|empathic abilities]]. They were gengineered by Starfleet after the Gene Wars as explorers and colonists (fast population growth).

* ''[[Orion's Arm]]'' has [http://www.orionsarm.com/eg-article/4798189c6b127 Erotogini], which range from humanoids to living carpets. Though the Sapient Rights accords means that in most civilized regions they are illegal unless designed to be nonsapient (like an animal). Of course, descendants of Erotogini are fairly common.
