History Main / AccidentalPornomancer

* Very much PlayedForDrama in ''[[FanFic/TriptychContinuum A Mark Of Appeal]]''. Joyous Release has a cutie mark talent for sex appeal, which she cannot turn off or control in any way. Any sapient being who spends more than a minute or two in her presence is consumed by lust for her, regardless of species, sexual orientation, or marital status. When she first appears, Princess Luna almost tries to seduce her in the middle of the throne room, before she realizes something is wrong.

->'''ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}:''' I've seen it. In bar after bar. Whatever women want, that guy's got it.\\

'''ComicBook/{{Storm}}:''' Ugh! And he can ''keep'' it!

An Accidental Pornomancer is a character who seems unable to avoid sex, particularly in situations where most sane people would find it [[HeadTiltinglyKinky awkward]], [[QuestionableConsent non-consensual]], {{squick}}ish, [[SexIsEvilAndIAmHorny immoral]] or [[CoitusEnsues impractical]].

** Harry Potter and the Hogwarts Harem: Harry is this he gets surprised with sex more often than he initiates, including one instance where he is raped.

* One briefly infamous Superbowl ad had a HollywoodHomely woman followed by attractive men in typical Axe fashion. In the end, it turns out she rubs a ''cashew'' behind her ears as perfume. There was much debate as to whether this was insulting to women, men, cashews, or just funny.

This trope is usually what you get if you want the benefits of the NiceGuy with none of the implications of ThePornomancer. Sex is something that just happens to the Accidental Pornomancer, even if they're apathetic or don't want it, and their own desires are completely inconsequential. Moral repercussions are either [[MoralDissonance glossed over]], or [[DoNotDoThisCoolThing made to seem wrong, but still awesome]]. The Accidental Pornomancer is thus free from any responsibility, consequences, guilt or fault for what happened, [[ButIWouldReallyEnjoyIt even if they enjoy it]].

** In ''VideoGame/FableII'' eligible citizens will eventually fall for a famous hero simply by virtue of said hero's reputation. A particularly heroic player character will easily capture the hearts of pretty much everyone attracted to his or her gender. It eventually becomes normal to be propositioned when your just passing through a town or village. Even an outright evil PC will still get random advances from people who are [[EvilIsSexy into evil bastards]].

* By many interpretations of the TheQuran, [[OurJinnsAreDifferent Jinns]] are forbidden from marrying or mating with humanity. That hasn't stopped many of them from seducing humans anyway.

* In ''Yurika's Campus Life'', the title character starts out like this, somehow bedding [[YuriGenre every woman she meets]] accidentally. Due to her rather tight economical situation, [[GenreSavvy she quickly takes hold of her potential]] and starts seducing the women in her campus into giving her food and a place to stay, effectively crossing over into [[ThePornomancer regular pornomancy]].

* Accoridng to the {{Kabbalah}}, King David was seduced by [[HornyDevils a succubus]] in order to give birth to Asmodeus, who eventually becomes the [[{{Satan}} King of]] {{Hell}}.

** Hercules, even moreso than his comic book interpretation above. During his Twelve Labors, he slept with King Thespius's daughters (all fifty of them). Some accounts state this was ''one'' of his labors, other accounts say that this was the only way to secure the King's assistance (because the King [[IWantGrandkids wanted grandchildren]]) and some accounts say that the reward for his deeds was... doing the deed. (Thespius certainly got what he wanted; all fifty of his daughters conceived a child as a result.)

''(Herc, turned into a half-spider monster, proceeds to have sex with a female half-spider monster)''\\

An '''Accidental Pornomancer''' is a character who seems unable to avoid sex, particularly in situations where most sane people would find it [[HeadTiltinglyKinky awkward]], [[QuestionableConsent non-consensual]], {{squick}}ish, [[SexIsEvilAndIAmHorny immoral]] or [[CoitusEnsues impractical]].

In theory, it's the perfect [[{{Escapism}} escapist fantasy]]: the hero isn't "perverted" because this sexual encounter isn't something they, or "normal" people, would want. They aren't womanizing or slutting, because [[QuestionableConsent they couldn't say no]], or the sex was really weird. Thus, there's plenty of {{Power Fantasy}}, but your hero can still be an AudienceSurrogate. Further, this trope usually (but not always) averts IdealizedSex; when the sex is really awkward or weird, you can still have them feel insecure, and thus seem innocent.

As such, this trope is prevalent in a lot of UsefulNotes/{{Pornography}}, {{Hentai}}, {{Ecchi}}, and {{H-Game}}s.

Contrast {{Celibate| Hero}}/ChasteHero, which this subverts.

[[folder: Anime and Manga ]]

* Anime/AkiSora. ''Full stop.'' Sora is extremely shy, effeminate, delicate, and [[SociallyAwkwardHero socially awkward]]. And yet, he gets to have sex with some gorgeous woman almost every issue. Granted, he ''does'' have one regular lover, but every other woman he's with either rapes him, tricks him into sex, coerces him, or motivates him into pity sex.

* In ''Yurika's Campus Life'', the titular character starts out like this, somehow bedding [[YuriGenre every woman she meets]] accidentally. Due to her rather tight economical situation, [[GenreSavvy she quickly takes hold of her potential]] and starts seducing the women in her campus into giving her food and a place to stay, effectively crossing over into [[ThePornomancer regular pornomancy]].

[[folder:Comics]]
* [[ComicBook/{{Nightwing}} Dick Grayson]], DependingOnTheWriter. Sometimes, Dick Grayson is shown to be a smooth ChivalrousPervert who knows full well what he's doing. Other times, [[MeaningfulName Dick]] just has a hard time saying no and keeping it in his pants. You could also make the argument that in the latter times, he's ObfuscatingStupidity. But, in any case, he's ''damn good at it''.

* The ''ComicBook/XMen'' character Longshot is all about this, thanks to his bizarre mix of naivete and willingness to try anything twice. Everyone from Rogue to Dazzler has thrown themselves at him at least once, to his puzzled acceptance.
** You could chalk it up to his powers, which amount to him being super-lucky. [[LampshadedDoubleEntendre In everything.]]
* [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHercules Hercules]] fits under this trope as well, when he isn't being an ''actual'' {{Pornomancer}}. Take, for example, ''Herc #8'', in which Hercules is enslaved by The Queen Of Spider-Island and receives the powers of ComicBook/SpiderMan as well as the ability to transform into a [[OneWingedAngel Spider-centaurid]]. As a BrainwashedAndCrazy Herc battles the ComicBook/XMen, the [[Myth/ClassicalMythology mythological Arachne]] (who is half-spider) comes to Herc's rescue . . . and [[EatingTheEyeCandy then realizes that his new form is exactly what she needs . . .]]
* ComicBook/SpiderMan. Sorta. During a particularly weird storyarc, he is [[VillainessesWantHeroes pursed by]] The Queen, a [[EvilIsSexy sexy insectoid supervillainess]]. At one point, she captures and kisses Spidey, which somehow [[MisterSeahorse impregnates him]]. (To the story's credit, this is treated as horrific for our hero.) He later dies and [[DeathIsCheap is resurrected almost immediately after]] by giving birth to ''himself''. Yeah. We warned you this story was weird.

[[folder:FanFiction]]

* Fanfic/TheInfiniteLoops: [[Manga/RanmaOneHalf Ranma]], to his increasing distress. Examples include [[Manga/AhMyGoddess Skuld]] landing on him in while he was in the tub (she was going commando), and both [[Manga/TenchiMuyo Washu]] and [[Manga/{{Slayers}} Lina Inverse]] have forced themselves on him. [[DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale Ranma's new reputation as 'the Stud of the Gods' doesn't help any]].
** Manga/{{Naruto}} too. Hell, [[DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale every male character]] in Innortal's original serieses.

[[folder: Film ]]

* Franchise/IndianaJones, at least in regards to his ''students'', some of whom are ''minors''. It's shown that Indy tends to try and ignore their advances, but at the same time, it's implied that he's given in more than once.
** Marian Ravenwood was 14 when they hooked up.
* ''Film/PootieTang''. Even when he was a child.
* To an extent, Will Ferrell's character from ''TheOtherGuys'' is inexplicably attractive to women who are seemingly way out of his league. He frequently talks about how plain his wife (Eva Mendez!) is and at the end of the movie he casually mentions that an ex of his grew up to be an actress...
** "The girl I lost my virginity to actually became a TV actress: Heather Locklear. You've heard of her? She was much chubbier back then."
** He was also a pimp for a time.

[[folder: Light Novels]]

[[folder: Literature]]

* ''AnitaBlake'' is a female example, and has all those UnfortunateImplications the description mentions. Though she gets to insist it's not her fault since it's because of her accidentally acquired succubus powers that make her have to or she'll die.
* Thomas Raith in ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'' is a White Court vampire, which means he feeds on [[EmotionEater life force generated by emotions]], and the most common emotion is lust. Being White Court, he is born with a "demon" bonded to his soul that tries to feed constantly and ''needs'' that energy, and if it doesn't get it the demon drives him into an insane, psychic-raping frenzy. When he isn't getting fed on human life energy, Thomas is unintentionally exuding a psychic "come hither" compulsion in people around him, which makes it hard for him to try to hold down a job when both men and women are either coming on to him or actually jumping his bones in the break room, and the demon isn't letting Thomas say no. It gets bad enough that he even starts pulling in joggers when he goes out for a run.
* Sir Lancelot in the legend of ''KingArthur'' was raped by two separate women: Lady Elaine and her servant, Brisen.
* Alatiel in ''Literature/TheDecameron'' is a rare female version. She winds up kidnapped, and loses her virginity when her captor gets her inebriated before having his way with her. She grew a taste for it ''very'' quickly. From there, men constantly fight over her, capture or enslave her, rarely of her own volition, but she hardly minds the constant sex. By the end, when she meets the man she is to marry, she's afraid that the problems associated with female versions of this trope will deter her suitor, but he says "Nope!" and they marry and live HappilyEverAfter.
* Literature/JohnCarterOfMars only ever had eyes for Dejah Thoris, but that didn't prevent him from attracting the affections of Thuvia, Phaidor, and Ozara, among others.

[[folder: Live Action TV]]

* Randy in ''MyNameIsEarl'' borders on this trope; much to everyone's surprise, he turns out to be very good in bed during his green card marriage, but he doesn't seem to know this about himself. As a result, though, he doesn't [[ReallyGetsAround Really Get Around]] much during the series.

* Dr. Chase on ''Series/{{House}}''...sorta. It's been shown on occasion that he can't turn off women even when he's ''trying''.
* WillSmith in ''Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir''. Though Will himself is definitely TheCasanova, there has been an occasional story about a woman who just wouldn't take no for an answer, or whom sleeping with was just an all-around bad idea. [[MrsRobinson His girlfriend's mother, for example.]]
* Daniel in ''Series/StargateSG1''. Two episodes after his wife is kidnapped by the Goa'uld, he gets lucky with an alien high-priest's daughter when they accidentally revert to a neanderthal state. After that, he gets jumped by Hathor, Shyla, and Linea, mind-raped by Sarah/Osiris, and is propositioned repeatedly by Vala ([[spoiler:who he eventually [[TheyDo obliges]] during the series finale... which is then erased by intentional time screwyness]]). And of course, he often doesn't get much of a say in the matter...
* The Eleventh Doctor in ''Series/DoctorWho''. Technically, several previous incarnations have had shades of this, but due to the MoralGuardians it was usually too subtle to really qualify. Mata Hari, Queen Nefertiti, Marilyn Monroe, and in his tenth incarnation, Queen Elizabeth I and Madame de Pompadour are some of his most recognizable entanglements. And as far as companions go, Rose Tyler and Martha Jones made it unambigiously clear they'd jump the Doctor's bones at the slightest provocation (making [[spoiler: the cloned Doctor Rose ends up with a pretty lucky fella]]), and Amy Pond actually tries to get the Eleventh Doctor to sleep with her!

[[folder: Mythology & Religion]]
* Accoridng to the {{Kabbalah}}, King David was seduced by [[HornyDevils a succubus]] in order to give birth to Asmodeus, who eventually becomes the [[{{Satan}} King Of]] {{Hell}}.

* In Myth/ClassicalMythology:
** Hercules, even moreso than his comic book interpretation above. During his Twelve Labors, he slept with King Thespius's daughters (all fifty of them). Some accounts state this was ''one'' of his labors, other accounts say that this was the only way to secure the King's assistance (because the King [[IWantGrandkids wanted grandchildren]]) and some accounts say that the reward for his deeds was...doing the deed. (Thespius certainly got what he wanted; all fifty of his daughters conceived a child as a result.)

* NorseMythology has Freyja. Ironically, she is a LoveGoddess and was well known for [[ReallyGetsAround Really Getting Around]], but there is one myth in which she was rescued from a harsh snow storm by a quartet of dwarves. The dwarves saved her life and in return, each one wanted sex with her. She politely refused and was soon to be on her way -- until she saw a necklace of theirs that she wanted badly. Let's put it this way: ''everybody'' got what they wanted that night.

[[folder: Videogames]]

* ''Videogame/{{Fable}}'': You, if you have trouble keeping it in your pants. So long as you're amicable and nice (and sometimes, even if you're not), you're guaranteed to have at least one NPC eager to roll in the hay with you even if you weren't really trying.

* Alistair of ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins''. Alistair starts as a virgin and is rather clueless in regards to women, but during the course of ''one'' playthrough, you can help him bed the pirate queen Isabela, Queen Anora, his hated rival Morrigan, and ''yourself'', provided that you "[[DoubleEntendre harden]]" him [[UnEnTendre (EMOTIONALLY)]] first.

[[folder:Webcomics]]

* In ''Webcomic/{{Girly}}'', there was an antagonist only known as Chupacabra, who women are extreemly attracted to, it becomes a plot point to stop him. Later becomes a regular cast member known as Chuy who, for most of the series, ries to avoid women at all cost. Apparently an inherited trait from his father. Chuy is almost a literal pornomancer, as these things happen by accident and he cannot turn it off. This ability even rubs off [[spoiler: on his eventual wife, Autumn]].

** Tim himself would be this trope if people were just a ''bit'' slower to his rescue.

* WillSmith in ''TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir''. Though Will himself is definitely TheCasanova, there has been an occasional story about a woman who just wouldn't take no for an answer, or whom sleeping with was just an all-around bad idea. [[MrsRobinson His girlfriend's mother, for example.]]

* Fanfic/TheInfiniteLoops: [[Manga/RanmaOneHalf Ranma]], to his increasing distress.
