Does sex just happen as naturally as breathing around you? When alone with a woman, is the next shot always of [[Dress Hits Floor|her dress hitting the floor]]? Did an [[Sexy Man, Instant Harem|instant harem]] appear at your house? Perhaps you have a [[Compelling Voice]], and take to its [[Power Perversion Potential|logical conclusion]]. You almost certainly make [[Bow Chicka Wow Wow]] music on the soundtrack when you walk down the street. People will look.

{{examples}}
== Anime
* Basically the entire concept of ''[[DNA²]]'' with the ''Mega-Playboy'' having a Marvel-style mutant power (i.e. it naturally activates at puberty) to become such a perfect man that he can literally seduce ''any female'' (except his [[Victorious Childhood Friend]] who's immune to his charms since she's known him for so long) into falling head-over-heels in love with him with just by looking at them. That, and he also gains instant Saiyan-level combat prowess.
* As mentioned, this is extremely common in [[Hentai]]; to the point that it's actually a slight subversion in ''Jiburiru'' when the title character needs to convince her boyfriend to have sex so she can ''[[Deus Sex Machina|charge up]]'' her [[Magic From Technology|magic robot powers]] to fight evil, as opposed to more typical hentai titles like ''La Blue Girl'', where rape, consensual sex, and pornomancy all get mashed together in one big naughty stew.
* In more mainstream [[Harem Anime]], the protagonist generally has this effect on the haremites... but this is generally [[Unwanted Harem|unintentional.]] A wild pornomancy talent, if you will. As an example, in ''[[Ai Yori Aoshi]]'', the male lead is in a committed (if secret) relationship with [[First Girl Wins|the first girl]], but for some reason he attracts girls with a tendency to fall in love with him, appear half-dressed, and/or grope one another.
* Taken to an extreme in ''[[Hayate the Combat Butler]]'''s [https://web.archive.org/web/20100731050001/http://www.onemanga.com/Hayate_the_Combat_Butler/273/02/ recent chapter]. Hayate being a [[Chaste Hero]], he doesn't even ''realize'' he's doing it, though it is noticed by the other characters and one tries to follow his example to his love interest. It doesn't work.
* ''[[Revolutionary Girl Utena]]'': Akio exhibits this trope. Touga as well, although he's not quite as skilled as Akio (and to be fair, Akio's pornomancy seems legitimately magical, whereas Touga is just suave).
* ''[[My Balls]]'' has the demon sealed within Kohta's bollocks actually doing this to him. Most of it is justified in that the demons of hell are trying to make him ejaculate, so that the demon sealed in his balls will be freed. However, there's also a normal instance of this trope in Minayo, who has the worst timing
* ''[[Irresponsible Captain Tylor]]'' has Tylor himself. After saving the ship as he always does by just being his [[Born Lucky|blissfully ignorant and incompetent self]], the other crew members give him a porno tape and wanted him to enjoy it for himself, but threatened him if they didn't get it back. Blissfully unaware that there is an alien princess hiding behind his bed (who honestly doesn't know anything about human relationships), Tylor puts in the tape, but keeps fumbling to turn it off as ''EVERY FEMALE ON THE SHIP'' comes to his door to express their sexual desires for him. [[Hilarity Ensues]]. On top of that, Tylor ended up joining the military to begin with because his ignorance ended up causing a [[Kiss Me, I'm Virtual|female
* Tamura Makoto of ''Boys Empire'' is this. In a sort-of subversion, he doesn't think it's such a good thing.
* ''[[School Days]]'': Makoto Itou is this [[Gone Horribly Wrong]].

Line 55 ⟶ 54:
** This trope is so prevailing that it's a bit of a stunning subversion when one realizes that, in ''[[Quantum of Solace]]'', he ''doesn't'' sleep with Olga Kurylenko's character, Camille. Not to worry though. During the course of the movie, Bond manages to bed Gemma Arterton's character, Agent Fields, who was sent to retrieve Bond from his mission. All it evidently took was the come-on of "finding the stationary" in their swank hotel room. His callous treatment of Agent Fields is perhaps the biggest indicator in the movie that the Bond of this movie had no use for personal entanglements, focused as he was on revenge.
* ''[[Austin Powers]]'''s mojo also counts.
* ''Alvin Purple'' was a 1973 Australian sex comedy about the title character, who is
* Tony Stark aka ''[[Iron Man]]'', right from the start of the movie. While establishing his character, it's shown that he can easily turn a reporter from trying to paint him up as some kind of evil warlord to falling into bed with him in about 20 seconds.
* [[Danny Trejo]]'s titular ''[[Machete]]'' may be one ugly hombre, but still,[[Grindhouse|"Machete gets the women."]]. By the end of the movie, every main female character has favored him, and he even did [[Lindsay Lohan]]'s character and her stepmother ''at the same time'', complete with [[Bow Chicka Wow Wow|porn music]].

Line 106 ⟶ 104:
* Brian Kinney of the American version of ''[[Queer as Folk]]'', as well as Stuart Jones, the character he was based off of in the original.
* Lord Flashheart from ''[[Blackadder]]'' is pretty much the embodiment of this trope.
* From ''[[Warehouse 13]]'', Mata Hari's pantyhose can make anyone [[
* Monty Pippin from ''[[Keen Eddie]]''.
* One episode of ''[[The Golden Girls]]'' had Dorothy dating a short, nerdy, bald man whom she and the other ladies found inexplicably irresistable and kept throwing themselves at him. The man had apparently dealt with this his whole life.
Line 131 ⟶ 129:
** There's actually a good reason for them having it BEYOND [[Power Perversion Potential]]. Breeding is VERY important for the Garou, since being a Werewolf is in the blood...only they can't breed with other Garou, without cranking out a deformed child called a [[The Woobie|Metis]](Which you can play as). Since Wolves spend a LOT of time fighting the Wyrm and dealing with their own brand of tribal politics, its a little...difficult to get into a committed relationship (But not impossible), making one night stands preferable. That's right, Pornomancy is almost mandatory for their very existence.

* ''[[The Witcher]]'': Geralt of Rivia can't seem to avoid falling into bed with townsmaidens, nurses, and sorceresses; some of the sillier things that lead to sex for him include passing a quiz on the language of the Elves and giving a ring (any ring) to a young woman who is jealous of her sister's marriage... it can be ''any'' ring. Luckily for him, [[STD Immunity]] and sterility are standard effects of Witcher mutations. And a literal example exists in an off hand note that magic can induce orgasms.▼
* The so-called "Romantic Encounters" mod for ''[[Baldur's Gate|Baldur's Gate II]]'' adds many dialogues that can make the PC into this. It also modifies an existing mage in the sewers (Mekrath) into a more or less literal Pornomancer.▼
* This does tend to happen to the hero of the ''[[Neverwinter Nights]]'' mod "The Bastard of Kosigan". With a high Charisma and decent ranks in Persuade, women will literally be falling into bed with him.▼
** [[The Protagonist|The Princess]] from the [[A Dance With Rogues]] ''[[Neverwinter Nights]]'' module can be this, or an [[Accidental Pornomancer]]. Depending on how you play her.▼
* The protagonist of ''[[Knights of Xentar]]'' is blessed to never go without a bed to sleep in. This has... interesting results.▼
* Commander Shepard of [[Mass Effect]] is [[Memetic Sex God|memetically infamous]] for this due to the wide range of romanceable companions. Averted within the context of a single character's playthrough, though, as Shepard can't be in more than one relationship per game and changing your romantic interest in the sequel is likely to result in a scene when both paramours confront each other over Shepard. However, if a single game is compared to a Bond movie...▼
** Don't forget optional one night stands with the Consort and Kelly Chambers. Shepard definitely CAN be James Bond [[Recycled in Space|IN SPACE]] if he or she so desires.▼
* Averted in ''[[Subverse]]'' as most additions to your crew insist you aid them in some way before they put out.

Line 139 ⟶ 147:
* Zii of ''[[Ménage à 3]]'' has probably had sex with most of the cast by now, one-shot characters included. She can seduce [[Everyone Is Bi|presumably]] straight girls (and middle-aged, married women) with ease, and once had a foursome with male triplets. Probably the only reason we haven't seen her use her Pornomancy on any gay men yet is because she'd rather [[Yaoi Fangirl|watch them do their own thing]] (although in one what-if scenario created by Gisele on Slipshine is an indication, she could easily do that too).
* The Chupacabre in ''[[Girly]]''. is something of a light-hearted [[Deconstruction]] of this trope. Any woman who sees him will immediately rip off her clothes and throw herself at him, and he is more than happy to give them the best sex they've ever had. And while sometimes this really does [[You Need to Get Laid|improve their lives]], it's more likely to ruin any current or potential relationships they had. Chupacabre is completely unaware of this until Winter explains it to him, and makes a very concentrated effort to be more careful from then on. He's successful—mostly.

Line 144 ⟶ 153:
* ''[[Forest Tales|Tales of the Folly]]'' has a [[Psychic Powers|literal]] instance of unintentional Pornomancy: "Why do I feel frisky all of a sudden?" To a lesser (that is, withstandable) extent, all Chakat mating is this due to their empathy.
* The erotica writer Salamando has a several stories involving Lust Walkers, succubus like entities that feed on "sex energy" to survive, lest they go feral. Each Lust Walker is named after a type of mythical creature (medusa, siren, vampire), which is based on both their method of feeding and the specific powers they gain. Another series of his features a world where all women on Earth above the age of 19 (but no men of any age) gain Sex Magic, enabling them to psychically sense men's arousal and read their naughty thoughts, and magically play with and control their bodies. They can also do this to other women, but only if the other woman allows it to happen.
