Sex by Proxy: Difference between revisions

 

{{noreallife|at least, not until we have evidence that supernatural abilities exist.}}

 

== Anime and Manga ==

* In ''[[Ghost in the Shell (manga)|Ghost in The Shell]]'' (the manga), the Major participates in porn that allows the viewer to feel whatever she's feeling. She accidentally gets mentally linked to Batou, who feels just ''icky'' because he doesn't have the organs being stimulated. Predictably, the scene was censored in the US version, but present in European editions.

* 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: Big Damn Hero]]''. Due to being in tune with Haruhi's emotions at all times, especially if the emotions are particularly strong, Koizumi ends up [[Luminescent Blush|extremely flushed]] when Haruhi and Kyon are making out.

* Multiple ''[[Firefly]]'' fanfics have explored the implications of River's long-established [[Power Incontinence]] while stuck aboard a very small spaceship with her big brother right after he ''finally'' scores with Kaylee.

 

== Literature ==

* 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.

* In the ''[[Lilith's Brood]]'' series, the Oankali are a three-gendered race, and perpetuate that manner of relationship when they mix with humans. It roughlyly involves the ooloi being in-between the male and female and connecting their minds, so that they have sex mentally while never touching each other, only the ooloi conduit, and the ooloi enjoys all the feelings of both.

 

* 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 ''[[Charmed]]'', she became capable of feeling the emotions of people around her. This led to a fairly [[Squick]] implication of this trope when she was walking with Piper (her sister) and a guy was checking Piper out. Upon beginning to feel his attraction towards her own sister, Phoebe informed Piper of the fact, and the two decided to quickly move right along.

 

== [[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. Sex by Proxy is an unstated but obvious inference.

 

* 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."

 

* A romantic version (and, presumably, at some point, a sexual one) occurred in ''[[A Miracle of Science]]'', when [[Hive Mind|Mars]] falls in love. Prester meets a cute, female Martian, who is part of the Martian Hive-Mind, and they get along well... to say the least. When he then visits Mars, he finds that random people keep giving him flowers and smiling at him - because, after all, Mars LIKES him. (The series ends before their relationship can progress to the final level of intimacy, but one must imagine that it'll be SOMEWHAT awkward...)
