Line 10:
For withholding sex, a punishment similar in spirit, see [[Lysistrata Gambit]] (for which this trope is often [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|the PG equivalent]]). Not to be confused with [[Sexiled]], where your roommate's sexual escapades leave you temporarily homeless.

Line 52 ⟶ 55:
* Inverted in ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]''. In Season 7 Spike expects to have to sleep on "[[Monty Python's Flying Circus|that diabolical old torture device, the comfy chair]]" when Buffy wants him to stay the night, but Buffy invites him into her bed (for [[Hold Me|comfort]], not for sex) showing Spike that she's forgiven him {{spoiler|for his [[Attempted Rape]] before he became ensouled.}}
* Amy Duncan does this after an argument to husband Bob in the [[Disney Channel]] show [[Good Luck Charlie]]. Not content with that, when Bob can't find the couch, she tells him she's sent it for cleaning, along with the one in the basement. When Bob says he'll sleep on the air mattress in the garage, she replies: "Popped it!"
▲* There's at least one furniture ad of a couple who start an argument entirely so one of them can sleep on the sofa.
* In [[NCIS: Los Angeles]], Deeks had to sleep on the couch in the NCIS Los Angeles headquarters due to his own house undergoing what is implied to be a strong pest infestation, which also resulted in him failing to pick up Kensi from the airport when she returned from Hawaii. He later has to keep company with Kensi until midnight after the infestation clearing at his house was delayed, to which she agrees, if he meets certain conditions, such as him driving and him paying, and having him do her laundry for a month (later specifying tht its outer-wear when realizing that he might go for the underwear as well.)
