So, Alice and Bob are making the two-backed beast, so to speak. Except it's more of a ''three''-backed beast. With or without them being aware of it, a third party is actively enjoying their encounter, and not in [[A Date
This trope is when:

This tends to be a magic trope, although sci-fi versions exist as well. Often an upgrade of [[Dirty Mind Reading]]. It's [[Fetish Fuel]], obviously, and a subtrope of [[Power Perversion Potential]].

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* In ''[[Ghost in
* In ''[[Pet Shop of Horrors]]'', Leon is seduced by two different women in one night. It turns out that they're plant spirits who were using him to spread their pollen from one girl to another.
==
* In ''[[Elf Quest]]'', when Cutter realizes that Zhantee has always been in love with Leetah from afar, he mentally shares his memories of his relationship with Leetah with Zhantee as a gift - including their romantic intimacy.
* In ''[[Requiem Vampire Knight]]'', there is a character capable of stealing orgasms from others as they are about to happen. "The ultimate safe sex" indeed.
* This seems to be at least a significant chunk of the principle behind the Shrieky Girls of [[Doktor Sleepless]].
==
* A more PG-rated version occurs in ''[[Kyon
* Multiple ''[[
== [[Film]] ==
* In ''[[Ghost (
* In ''[[Being John Malkovich]]'', Maxine has sex with Malkovich while Lotte is inside his head. She doesn't care all that much for Malkovich - she just gets off on "Lotte in Malkovich". Malkovich slowly becomes aware of what's going on. Things get out of hand.
* In ''[[Freaks]]'', one of the conjoined twins is shown to get aroused when her sister is kissing her boyfriend. Since the sister and boyfriend proceed to get married and have sex, one can assume the trope is in full effect.
** In the musical ''Side Show'', which is based on the lives of the same conjoined twins, there's a scene where the girls and their respective love interests are on a Tunnel of Love ride. Violet seems to be able to feel Daisy's reaction to being kissed by Terry (and notes that it's much stronger than her own response to being kissed by her fiancé).
* ''[[Strange Days]]'' involves illegal devices which can record and play back memories - giving the user all of the sensory input felt by whoever was being recorded. The recording include sex, of course (parts of a couple of raunchy memory recordings are shown, both for sale and for personal use). It's probably a huge part of the market.
* In ''[[Surrogates (
== [[Literature]] ==
* In [[Robert A. Heinlein]]'s ''[[Stranger in
* In the ''[[Wheel of Time]]'', the Warder bond allows people to feel what others do. So when {{spoiler|Elayne and Rand}} finally have sex, {{spoiler|Birgitte (who is bonded to Elayne), Min, and Aviendha (who are bonded to Rand)}} all have to go off and get drunk so they can't feel precisely what is going on.
* Walter Jon Williams' ''Aristoi'', which is set in a future where everybody has wireless internet connections in their heads, has a science-fictional example.
* In the ''[[Dragonriders of Pern]]'' setting, the mental link between dragons and riders can cause this effect. Generally, when dragons mate, their riders are pulled into the lust and wind up following suit whether they want to or not - but it also works in reverse, most noteably in the case of Lord Jaxom, who winds up with a strange, white runt of a dragon. Being apparently asexual, it has no interest in 'flying' with female dragons, but it DOES seem to rather enjoy sharing Jaxom's feelings when HE'S off with a girl.
Line 46 ⟶ 47:
* In ''Commander-in-Chief'' by [[Nikolai Gudanets]], a [[Psychic Powers|psychic]] alien squid mind-controls a [[Call Girl]] and arranges for her to be ordered by an American government official. After taking control of him as well, the alien realizes that the man is still aroused, so he has them do it, while connected to both. This leads to a rather graphic scene in which the alien has trouble with pronouns due to being in both minds at the same time. It even experiences orgasm, a strange feeling for its species. The second time it happens turns deadly, when the official accidentally bites a hooker's jugular during sex.
* In the ''[[Heralds of Valdemar]]'' series, Talia has a permanent empathic link with her Companion that can't be blocked, even when her Companion is busy showing the Companion mares what a virile stallion he is. As [[The Empath]], she's also treated to the emotions of her fellow Heralds whenever they're nearby unless she very carefully shields herself. Being initially roomed next to an [[Anything That Moves|exceptionally randy]] trainee, it is no surprise that she later chooses to move her permanent quarters to a remote tower of the Collegium.

* In Marge Piercy's ''Woman on the Edge of Time,'' the main character travels to the future and has sex with someone she meets there. It's only after the fact that she learns that the mechanism behind her time travel (which relies on a psychic bond between her and another person from the future,) meant that said other person was aware of the sex as it was going on.
* In the ''[[Night Angel Trilogy]]'', when Kylar has sex with Elene, it is picked up by Vi, who is telepathically linked to Kylar through magic earrings. As she was also in love with Kylar, she enjoys it, but feels dirty as well as she views it as too voyeuristic.
* In the ''[[

* On ''[[Firefly]]'', River (a telepath) once walked by as Wash and Zoe were making out in the cockpit. She is [[Dirty Mind Reading|able to feel what both of them are feeling]] and visibly reacts.
* When Phoebe developed her [[The Empath|empathy powers]] in ''[[
* Telepaths in ''[[
* ''[[Fringe]]'': Olivia gets this in the episode "Bad Dreams", as part of an ongoing psychic link with the episode's killer.
== [[Tabletop Games]] ==
* [[Traveller]]: There is one alien race in Traveller where all births are in mindlinked brother-sister pairs. These are each linked so closely that they are almost one individual. When they marry one pair marries another rather then one individual marrying another.
▲* [[Traveller]]: There is one alien race in Traveller where all births are in mindlinked brother-sister pairs. These are each linked so closely that they are almost one individual. When they marry one pair marries another rather then one individual marrying another. [[Sex By Proxy]] is an unstated but obvious inference.
== [[Video Games]] ==
* In ''[[Dragon Age II]]'', this is brought up if Hawke romances Anders (the latter of whom is possessed by a spirit of Justice). When Anders tells Hawke that Justice disapproves of their relationship, Hawke can ask, "So, he's like an unwilling participant in our threesome?". Later, Isabela makes the same joke, commenting, "You, Anders... and Justice? Well, you know what they say - two's company, but three's better."
