{{examples}}
== [[Comic Books]] ==
* The Psions in the [[DC Universe]] treat their females like this.
Line 35 ⟶ 34:
* ''Flash for Freedom!'' [[Flashman]] and the other crewmen on the slave ship are encouraged to sleep with as many female slaves as possible, as women pregnant with lighter skinned babies can be sold at a higher price. Oddly enough, given his usual lechery, Flashman isn't particularly keen on the idea, and takes a single slave as his concubine instead.
== [[Live
* In one episode of ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'', Doctor Pulaski ends up telling two [[Lost Colony|colonies]] (one consisting of traditional Irishmen, and the other of slowly degenerating [[Clone Degeneration|clones]]) that they must engage in widescale polygyny and polyandry in order to gain an appropriate amount of genetic diversity. One Irishwoman expresses disdain that they apparently have to modify the entire way their culture examines the family for the sake of some oddly defined scientific reasons, but ends up agreeing to go along with it.
** The illogic of the trope being applied in this situation was deconstructed in a ''[[Starfleet Corps of Engineers]]'' novella that essentially spends the entire story asking "What were the ''Enterprise'' crew ''thinking''?"
Line 42 ⟶ 41:
** One world they encounter has recently suffered a massive decrease in the number of available fertile males- the male Sliders are promptly rounded up and sent to a breeding camp once they're discovered.
** The Cromags have to engage in this trope because their females, due to [[Depopulation Bomb|some disease or something]], can't effectively propagate the race. Main character Wade ends up as one, and that's the last we hear of her until season five, where we find she and other humans are being used to power new sliding technology.
* The Cylon 'farms' on the occupied Colonies in ''[[Battlestar Galactica
* ''[[Space: Above and Beyond]]'' depicts the InVitros being born, fully grown, from one of these.
* An episode of [[Earth: Final Conflict]] indicates that the Taelons were using human clones and the cover of an infertility clinic to make [[Half Human Hybrids]]. It also stated that Sandoval was also tinkering with the results as well.
Line 56 ⟶ 55:
* Brood Mothers from ''[[Dragon Age]]'' are this, [[Nightmare Fuel]], and a [[Mook Maker]] boss all in one.
* The ''[[Gears of War]]'' [[Expanded Universe]]: while all able-bodied men were conscripted into the armed forces after E-Day, all fertile women were required to help repopulate Sera. They were relocated to creches where they could be forced to bear children. Though these women got better food rations than front-line soldiers, some of those front-liners considered time with the women at the "breeding farms" a reward.
* ''[[Oddworld]]'' has Queen Sam and Lady Margaret, the only mentioned females of the Mudokon and [[Corrupt Corporate Executive|Glukkon]] species, respectively. While Lady Margaret is more of a case of [[Bee People]], Queen Sam is kept in a controlled environment where all she does all day is lay Mudokon eggs, which will be grown into slaves (or, in ''Abe's Odyssee'', food). Her Glukkon masters have gone to the trouble of engineering The Shrink, an artificial intelligence designed solely to keep Queen Sam from reflecting on where her eggs are going, lest this realization make her stop laying. Also, she's kept in a literal factory.
* In ''Super [[Monday Night Combat]]'', one of the announcers can sometimes bring up the "Dame Of The Game" prize: One "lucky" female audience member is selected at random, given a bouquet of flowers, and then shipped off to an offworld colony to help with repopulation.

* According to [[Nazisploitation]] films and novels (even some mainstream fiction picked up the [[Urban Legend]], e.g. ''Bear Island'' by Alistair MacLean) [[Those Wacky Nazis]] would select racially pure German women to be impregnated by virile SS men, in order to create the [[Master Race]]. In actuality while the Nazis did have an organisation that helped care for the offspring of SS members (even illegitimate children) with the goal of increasing the birth rate (which had fallen drastically due to the Great Depression) there was no 'breeding program'.
** They did, however, encourage women to have children by giving them rewards for doing so. The more children they had, the bigger their rewards would be - some were even given medals for doing "great service to their country". While they weren't forced into it, to increase the birthrate, they made it worth the girl's while to get married to an SS soldier and have several children by him.
