Line 2:
A [[Speculative Fiction]] subtrope of [[Author Appeal]], which is the deliberate creation of a future (or alternate history, or fantasy..) society in which the author's particular kink is "normal". That which is [[Fetish Fuel]] to us, is a commonplace to those in-universe.
The difference between this and basic [[Author Appeal]] is the compulsion by some authors to justify their fetish. [[Quentin Tarantino]] having a lot of [[Foot Focus]] in his movies is [[Author Appeal]]. If he made a movie that explains how in the year 2525 ''everyone'' will be a foot fetishist due to some social or technological development, that would be a
Used a lot in written erotica. Also some porn movies but not as much as you'd think, given that typically porn movies are [[Porn Without Plot]] and thus don't even bother with a story to the sex.
Line 8:
Is sometimes used to "justify" the depiction of [[Romanticized Abuse|behavior and social structures]] that would otherwise push the characters over the [[Moral Event Horizon]]. (Although it can still make the world [[Crapsack World|crapsack]] or [[Crap Saccharine World|crapsaccharine]], and make some people suspect that the author actually [[Author Tract|advocates such values for real]].)
Sometimes characters of a

Line 19:
* While it isn't anywhere near universal, the Dom/Sub relationships engendered by the curious piloting arrangements required by the [[Humongous Mecha]] in ''[[The Five Star Stories]]'' probably qualifies.
* The nanotechnology in ''[[Mai-Otome]]'' is designed so that girls who are made into Otome will not be able to have sex with men, so they can [[Sitch Sexuality|resort to]] [[Yuri Genre|Girls Love]] to satisfy their needs instead.
* In ''[[Simoun]]'', all teenagers are female until they become adults and choose their gender, and the [[Applied Phlebotinum
* ''[[Chobits]]'', where nearly everyone in the city has a sexy female robot as a computer.
* ''[[Strike Witches]]'' where most, if not all the female characters do not wear pants or skirts at all.
Line 37:
*** Virtually all of Heinlein's later books are packed full of this trope.
* Citizens of [[Iain Banks]]' ''[[The Culture]]'' have the ability to change sex at will by wishing it (though the process takes several months to complete) and are also genetically engineered to have ''longer orgasms.'' Not to mention better performance and stamina during said act and perfectly shaped bodies.
* In [[Alastair Reynolds]]' "Revelation Space" series sex change is not very common, but completely unremarkable. Particularly in "Chasm City", when Tanner Mirabel comments on Zebra's
* ''[[Gor]]'' has institutionalized sexual slavery (primarily of women) and goes into intimate detail about it.
* The [[Vanity Publishing|vanity-published]] smoking-fetish tome ''[http://www.authorhouse.com/Bookstore/ItemDetail.aspx?bookid=26119 Little Smoky Stories]'' includes several stories based on the premise that:
{{quote|''It was discovered in 2315 that the combination of a chemical compound now known as ts4 with a mixture of 85% hybrid tobacco, 10% cannibis ''(sic)'' sativa, and 5% spearmint leaves prevented most diseases known to humans, including heart disease, diabetes, and most kinds of blindness.''}}
** Consequently, everyone older than seven is required to smoke. (This future is also a [[Mary Suetopia]] in which money has been abolished and all races and religions have merged.)
* Larry Niven's ''[[Known Space]]''
* [[Charles Stross]]' ''Accelerando'' features in its near-future section a world where casual sex is almost unheard of in favor of [[BDSM]]. This was a cultural practice that came about as an end-run around overpopulation. Since [[The Laundry Series]] didn't really have any overt BDSM elements, it's not clear if this is an actual fetish for him or just Stross having fun with tropes.
* ''[[Slave World (novel)|Slave World]]'' features a world where the ruling class maintains social order by having serfs transformed into [[Sex Slave]] cyborgs at first sign of dissent.

* Some notable online erotic prose shared universes include the "White Slavery Act of 2001" universe and "Cannibal 4-H" universe. Both posit a plague that both makes boys extremely rare (and thus more valuable than girls) and wipes out most normal livestock, making cannibalism a necessity. As a result, women are quite literally cattle, to be used until no longer sexually titillating, then eaten. A future world where women are free to be raped and then eaten crops up in many other works of erotica.
* ''[[Pokegirls]]''. In an incident that took place long enough before the "present day" of most of the stories that the truth is nearly impossible to deduce (in short, it varies from author to author), a brilliant but depraved (or noble but misunderstood, depending on how closely the author identifies with [[Animal Wrongs Group|pro-furry or anti-human groups]]) geneticist set off an apocalypse that decimated the human race and rewrote the genomes of the survivors. Boys born after the disaster grow up normally for humans, but girls have a very high chance of transforming at puberty into one of the eponymous PokeGirls. This transformation is nearly universally traumatic, and usually results in the mind and personality of the girl being rewritten according to the type of PokeGirl she transforms into. This alone would be bad enough, but all newly transformed PokeGirls also end up with incredible powers (even the weakest is capable of butchering an entire regiment of well-trained and fully equipped human soldiers with little effort); simple minds motivated only by animalistic instincts (referred to as their "feral" stage); and the ability (and, in the feral state, an irresistible desire) to mate and produce human offspring with any male human available. After the initial mating ("taming"), PokeGirls adopt a thoroughly submissive state toward their mates, though they gradually regain their lost sapience as they fight feral PokeGirls to defend their mate/master. The better stories go into depth regarding the balance between granting PokeGirls freedom and needing to keep them under control as the only means to survive an attack by a rival PokeGirl master, with the antagonists going too far in various ignoble aspects of what is essentially survival through female slavery. Of course, this being fanfiction, [[Sturgeon's Law
* There's also the "Naked in School" [[Shared Universe]], set [[Twenty Minutes Into the Future]]. [[STD Immunity]] and basically-perfect birth control have resulted in The Naked In School Program, wherein a handful of students in each high school must spend a week each totally naked during school hours, not so much to address the problem of concealed guns as to be a living visual aid for sex education.
** A zigzagged trope in this case. The author of the original Naked In School story, "Karen Wagner," created the setting as a [[Author Appeal|discipline/submission lover's wet dream]]; the Program, signed into law by the ''sitting US President'', fostered a tone of [[Big Brother Is Watching|government oversight]] and [[But Thou Must|dubious consent]]. Once Wagner gave blanket permission to share the universe, however, things moved in a different direction; the science-fiction trappings were [[Revision|Revised]] in, and high-tension sexual hijinks began to be supplemented or even supplanted by romance, [[Character Development]], sci-fi angles and even the occasional [[Deconstruction]]. By now, Wagner's original direction seems like [[Early Installment Weirdness]].
