And if the goal isn't to bring the rapist and his victim together, it'll make the victim a walking angst magnet, perfect for being [[Rescue Romance|saved by his/her soulmate.]]

A subtrope of [[Stockholm Syndrome]] and [[Hollywood Sex]]. See also [[Prison Rape]], [[Naughty Tentacles]]. Compare [[Stalking Is Love]], [[Black Comedy Rape]], [[Rape as Drama]]. Contrast [[Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil]], ~It's Not Rape If You Enjoyed It~. For the G-rated but no less creepy (and no less [[Don't Try This At Home|illegal]]) version of this trope, see [[Abduction Is Love]]. Contrast [[Marital Rape License]], where the rape is generally portrayed as heinous although the rapist may [[From a Certain Point of View|consider]] the rape to be an act of love and also his husbandly right -- which in some cultural contexts it actually is. Often results in an [[Esoteric Happy Ending]].

Line 70:

* ''[[Ai no Kusabi]]'' has Iason Mink who [[Abduction Is Love|kidnaps]] and forcibly makes Riki A [[Sex Slave]] because he sees him only as a [[Lust Object]]. Then continues to force himself on Riki after he has fallen in love with him. Riki fights him less and less as time goes by....

* Discussed in the [[Josei]] manga [[Rouge Noir]]. {{spoiler|The female lead Ayane aknowledges that her and the male lead Kou's sexual encounter, years ago, ''was'' rape, and yet she also admits to having feelings for him when she finds him again. Later, when Kou and Ayane declare their mutual love and have consensual sex, Kou reveals that [[My Greatest Failure|he has been feeling guilty ever since then]] and apologizes profusely to her. After some more hardships, they get married.}}

{{quote| {{spoiler|Ayane}}: "Six years ago, {{spoiler|Kou violated me.}} (...) [[Lampshade Hanging|Even I think there's something wrong with me.]] (...) {{spoiler|That sound and Kou himself}}, despite the calamitous past that we have, are drawing me in."}}

Line 134:

* [[Rutger Hauer]]'s and [[Jennifer Jason Leigh]]'s characters in ''[[Flesh And Blood]]''. Here, at least, she doesn't seem to suffer this with any of her ''other'' rapists.

* ''[[Young Frankenstein]]'' features a [[Black Comedy Rape|comedic]] version of this with The Monster and Elizabeth. Borderline: Elizabeth is pleasantly impressed when she gets her first sight of The Monster's [[Gag Penis|"very large shvanstocke"]]; however, the Monster doesn't seem particularly interested in her consent, and she continues to protest right up until the moment of, er, union.

{{quote| '''Elizabeth:''' ''(singing)'' Oh, sweet mystery of life, at least I've found you!}}

{{quote|'''Elizabeth:''' ''(singing)'' Oh, sweet mystery of life, at least I've found you!}}

* ''Timerider: The Adventure of Lyle Swann'' uses this with the 'going back in time to become your own grandfather' plot. The "grandmother" rapes her "grandson" at gun-point and they develop a relationship.

* In ''[[Revenge of the Nerds]]'', Louis dons an identical Darth Vader costume as one of his [[Jerk Jock]] rivals and proceeds to have sex with the jock's girlfriend. As she's post-coitally gushing about her "boyfriend's" performance, Louis unmasks himself... ''On top of her''. She expresses dismay at his deception, for about five seconds, before openly marveling that "a nerd" could be that good in bed, and spends the rest of the movie in heat for him. They end up married in subsequent sequels. Played for laughs, but [[Fridge Logic]] quickly turns it into [[Dude, Not Funny]].

Line 144:

** In the original book the movie was based on, she isn't even raped in the first place. She shoots the guy because she's in desperate need for money and wants to blackmail him.

* One of the many interpretations of the pitch-black [[David Lynch]] film ''[[Blue Velvet]]'': most critics agree that, in his own depraved way, the sadistic gangster/rapist Frank is in love with Dorothy, but debate whether she feels the same way. Dennis Hopper hilariously, and disturbingly, lampshades the twisted dynamics of their relationship in a [[Cluster F-Bomb]] answer to an interviewer asking why he took the villainous role:

{{quote| "Frank just happens to be one of the great romantic male leads of all time! ...I mean he fucking worships Dorothy and Dorothy is hot for him because when the kid Jeffrey gets physically intimate with Dorothy she suddenly wants him to slap her around just like Frank does. Frank and Dorothy-- that's a great love story of our time! ...Here's a guy who'll go to any lengths: he kidnaps her, cuts her fucking husband's ear off with pair of scissors, which isn't an easy thing to do, and ultimately he even shoots the cop he's in cahoots with. Now if that isn't true love, what the fuck is? And at the end of the movie, in those last images, there's the shot of Dorothy--she's sitting in some park with her little son in her arms. David's intention, 'cause he told me this, is to let the viewer know that it's not over, she's still thinking about Frank, still longing for him. Frank's dead but she'll always love him."}}

* In ''Beowulf & Grendel'', the witch Sarah Poley is raped by the troll. Apparently that's what trolls usually do to witches since she then tries to protect him and their child again the arrogant Geatish hero ([[Meet Cute|nothing unexpected]], by the way) who wants to kill him.

* Played for laughs in [[Monty Python]]'s ''[[Life of Brian]]'', when the protagonist confronts his mother on discovering he exists because she was raped by a Roman. Her response? "Well, at first..."

Line 250:

* ''[[The Tribe]]'': Lex tries to rape Zandra. She responds, on the advice of the advice of the group's new [[Granola Girl]], by proposing to him. And in case this wasn't weird and uncomfortable enough, they're both 14.

* Scott attempts to do this in ''[[Higher Ground]]'' by writing love letters to his sexually abusive stepmother.

{{quote| '''Scott:''' I thought that if I loved her, it would make what was going on okay.}}

{{quote|'''Scott:''' I thought that if I loved her, it would make what was going on okay.}}

* ''[[Rescue Me]]''. Take your pick, people. We have drugged, drunk, physical, mental, verbal...the list just keeps going. And nobody seems to care.

* ''[[The Mighty Boosh]]'' somehow managed to play this trope for laughs when Bob Fossil's plot to get two pandas to mate goes haywire. Vince dresses up like a panda and has a romantic dinner with the female to make the male jealous, but proves too sexy for even a panda to resist, and gets raped by the female. But after the rape, Vince continues the ruse, seeming to have developed a meaningful romantic/sexual relationship with the panda.

Line 291:

** Snake can also be on the molesty end of the equation if the player decides to pat down a [[Amazon Brigade|FROG]] and touches their breasts or crotch. They hate it--[[I Was Quite a Looker|unless he looks young]].

* In the [[Touhou Project]] [[Hentai]]-[[Doujinshi]] ''Love-Reign'', [[Badass Bookworm|Alice's]] love for her doll Shanghai is portrayed in this manner. To quote one of [[Yandere|Alice's]] [[Nightmare Fuel|most disturbing lines ever]] (said when she as forcing a soul into Shanghai):

{{quote| "Your gestures of fright, pained behaviour, even your lovely voice are all so superb. Well, it's natural to expect it from something I've made with love.~~<br />~~

{{quote|"Your gestures of fright, pained behaviour, even your lovely voice are all so superb. Well, it's natural to expect it from something I've made with love.

There, it's done.~~<br />~~

There, it's done.

I love you, Shanghai." }}

** In ''Ningyou Kakumei'', [[Yandere|Alice]] tricks the naive [[Artificial Human|Medicine Melancholy]] into helping her with her ''[[This and That|research]]'' in making self-reliant dolls with a little help from a special drug made by [[Deadly Doctor|Eirin.]]

Line 341:

* ''[[Moral Orel]]'' got cancelled because of an episode centering on a woman who lured a rapist to lose her virginity, fell in love with him, and recently learned he committed suicide in prison. This is followed by a masturbation session that gets [http://i53.tinypic.com/2isee81.png pretty goddamn surreal].

* [[South Park|Mr. Garrison]] believes that his father does not love him because he never molested him as a child. For some reason his mother thinks the same way and is shocked to find out that it never happened.

* ''[[Robot Chicken]]'' has a skit called 'the morning-after phone call', where a tentacle monster contacts the schoolgirl he raped the previous night to ask her to a movie. (She says no and hangs up.)
