Line 75:
== [[Fan Works]] ==
* ''[[Avatar: The Abridged Series]]'' Episode 3- "All this physical violence is turning me on!"
* In the [[Touhou]] fanfic [[Imperfect Metamorphosis]], Marisa Kirisame experiences this when she uses Yukari's "And the Sun Rises Red" Spellcard on Yuka.
* [http://oceansex.livejournal.com/39981.html?thread=783405#t783405 This] (NSFW) response to a Pokemon kink meme prompt contains, among other things, a scene in which Cyrus (yes, [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl|''that'' Cyrus]]) manually rapes Cynthia while forcing her to watch footage of him torturing and killing Lucian. Cynthia even has an orgasm while watching Lucian die!
== [[Film]] ==
Line 101 ⟶ 103:
* One episode of ''[[Leverage]]'' involves Eliot meeting, and then fighting, a [[Distaff Counterpart]] of himself. It was... well, ''insanely'' hot.
* Look no further than ''Kiss Kiss Bang Bang'', series 2 of Torchwood, John Hart vs Jack Harkness. Snog, fight, laugh manically. Rinse and Repeat.
* A recent{{when}} episode of ''[[Chuck]]'' has Casey fighting it out with Gertrude Verbanski, a business rival of the eponymous character's Carmichael Industries. Needless to say, the fight got a bit ''passionate and intense'' as it wore on, if you know what we mean.
== [[Music]] ==
* ''Meaning of Life'' (a.k.a. [[Refrain From Assuming|"Get Psycho"]]) by [[Disturbed]] is often confused for battle music. Listen to the lyrics. You'll hear it.
*
** "Poker Face" by [[Lady Gaga]].
{{quote|'Baby when it's love if it's not rough it isn't fun.'}}
** The music video for "Alejandro".
** Lady Gaga in general, via her music and their corresponding videos. Other examples include "Bad Romance", "Monster", "I Like it Rough" (though that might be taking it a bit literal), and "Teeth".
* [[Florence + the Machine]]'s "Kiss with a Fist" seems to be about this (though the singer says it's meant to be metaphorical).
* [[Defied Trope|Defied]] by the band ''Bush'' in their song "Everything Zen".
Line 112 ⟶ 117:
* [[Kanye West]] makes an interesting pun about gang-banging in "Hell of a Life."
* The top-page quote from [[Jane's Addiction]]'s "Ted, Just Admit It" takes this view. It should be noted that the song depicts the viewpoint of [[Real Life]] [[Serial Killer]] Ted Bundy.
* The Twisted Sister song "Sex and Violence" talks on this point.
== [[Oral Tradition]], Mythology, Legends and Folklore ==
* Egyptian stories say that during his final battle with Horus, the god Set sometimes said things that... may have a few meanings...
** In one version, Horus also ripped off his balls.
* In Celtic Mythology, the Morrigan is goddess of both fertility and war. Sex and death, right there, what more do you want?
** Astarte of Phoenician, Syrian, Canaanite and later Egyptian mythology was also a goddess of fertility and war, parallel to Ishtar.
* [[Classical Mythology]] had ''intercourse'' of sex and violence, what with the god of war Ares always running off and having affairs with the goddess of love Aphrodite.
** Eros, the God of Love, ''was'' this trope. Ancient Greek soldiers would pray to him before going into battle; sex and violence were understood to be two sides of the same coin.
* Inanna/Ishtar: Sumerian/Babylonian Goddess of love, fertility, and war.
* The Voodoo god of death is also the god of sexuality... in addition to being a great healer, [[Fridge Logic|which seems a little at odds with the "death" thing....]]
** [[It Makes Sense in Context]]—if he decides not to dig your grave, you'll recover...instead of simply not actually dying.
* Norse mythology: Freyja as well was a goddess of love and sex, who had more than her share of martial aspects. In fact, she received the half of the battle-dead not claimed by Odin.
== [[Professional Wrestling]] ==
Line 129 ⟶ 142:
** Followers of Slaanesh in general seem to do this as well. Writhing in ''ecstatic pleasure'' when engulfed by a flamethrower for starters.
* ''[[Exalted]]'' has the Sapphire Veils of Passion Style. Sidereal Martial Arts are all based on expressing various universal principles and concepts through the medium of [[Supernatural Martial Arts]]. Sapphire Veils of Passion's theme is, well...sex.
== [[Theatre]] ==
* The musical ''Les Miserables'' illustrates this trope beautifully with the song Red and Black. It connects Enjolras' hopes for revolution with Marius' love of Cosette.
{{quote|'''Enjolras''': "Red, the blood of angry men,
Black, the dark of ages past."
. . .
'''Enjolras''': "Red!"
'''Marius''': "I feel my soul on fire!"
'''Grantaire''': "Black!"
'''Marius''': "My world if she's not there!"
'''Ensemble''': "Red!"
'''Marius''': "The color of desire!"
'''Ensemble''': "Black!"
'''Marius''': "The color of despair!" }}
** Also [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] in the intro to the song.
{{quote|'''Grantaire''': "You talk of battles to be won,
and here he comes like Don Juan.
It's better than an opera!" }}
* Artistic portrayals of ''[[Othello]]'' often indulge in this trope, with Desdemona suffocated by her lover in their bed.
** This [https://web.archive.org/web/20160123165856/http://calgary.cityguide.ca/othello_calgary_ballet-20070926114637.jpg ballet adaptation advertisement] features a rather [[I Love the Dead|interesting composition]].
** The trope page includes a painting by Alexandre-Marie Colin, which portrays a non-canon example of [[Drop-Dead Gorgeous]].
* Stanley and Stella's entire relationship in ''[[A Streetcar Named Desire]]''.
== [[Video Games]] ==
Line 159 ⟶ 194:
{{quote|"Give it all you've got. Try and break me."}}
* In ''[[Blaze Union]]'', it's revealed that due to their demonic heritage, fighting is extremely physically pleasurable for both Gulcasa and Emilia. Gulcasa is ''usually'' not outwardly enthusiastic about it, but Emilia is a different story entirely. This is something of [[Sex as Rite-Of-Passage|a plot-relevant metaphor]] in one route.
* The Four Guardians in ''[[Mega Man Zero]]'' seem to ''really'' enjoy fighting Zero... to quote Harpuia (who's practically tame compared to [[
{{quote|"I enjoy the sensation. I love the pain. You are worthy."}}
== [[Web Comics]] ==
* ''[[Gunnerkrigg Court]]'': It's strongly implied that there's "something going on" between Eglamore and Jones. So when they have a practice spar, Jones' partial disrobing is [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=378 rather suggestive], and one onlooker describes the match as such:
{{quote|'''Andrew Smith:''' What's going on?
'''Parley:''' Elgamore and Jones are having a quickie!
'''Andrew Smith:''' Ah. Clever. }}
* [[Homestuck]] has a little bit of this with trolls: Trolls have four different kinds of romance: platonic love, platonic hate, sexual love, and sexual hate. While it isn't stated outright, one could pretty easy that the sexual hate in particular could lead to a great deal of this. There's even a case of [[Slap Slap Kiss]] at one point.
** And bloody biting snogging. YMMV on whether this is disturbing or hilarious (or sexy).
== [[Web Original]] ==
* ''[[Tales of MU]]'', between Mack and Sooni:
{{quote|"Stop having orgasms while I'm defeating you!"}}
* ''[[Broken Saints]]'' plays with this a lot. Best example: the fight scene in Mars' strip club, mostly due to Mars' compensating for something with his conspicuously long handgun. Also, [[Word of God]] states the line "When the urge comes to you again... think of me" is supposed to refer to both violent urges and sexual urges, due to their all-too-connected nature in context.
