History Main / BatheHerAndBringHerToMe

* In ''X-Treme ComicBook/XMen'', interdimensional conqueror Kahn captures Comicbook/{{Storm}} and intends to make her his bride, and has his servants bathe her.

%%* Has happened to Comicbook/RedSonja more than once, when some EvilOverlord decides to make her part of his harem. See the ''Sonja Goes East'' one-shot for one such example.

Compare SheCleansUpNicely and sometimes NoMrBondIExpectYouToDine. Related to, but not necessarily the same thing as, GoGoEnslavement. UndressingTheUnconscious may occur if the character is bathed while they're unconscious. Can precede a ShamefulStrip if no clothes are provided following the bath.

* The 1956 Creator/CecilBDeMille classic ''Film/TheTenCommandments'':

* In the UsefulNotes/{{furry|Fandom}} comic, ''Comicbook/{{Xanadu}}'', when Tabbe Le Fauve is captured, the unicorn Empress Alicia orders him bathed in the magic unicorn pool. Being a cat, Tabbe is frantically resistant to be thrown into water, but immediately changes his mind when he is thrown in: the magic water feels more like silk and Empress Alicia, naked, smoking hot looking and horny as her horn, climbs in to join him.

* ''Manga/BlackButler'': Lord Trancy chooses young boys to be his sex slaves in episode 8 of season 2 and before they are presented to him to "entertain" him they are bathed and treated like livestock by the house maids.

* In "[[Recap/GameOfThronesS5E6UnbowedUnbentUnbroken "Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken]]" of ''Series/GameOfThrones'', Ramsey's mistress Myranda, who is as sadistic as he is, approaches Lady Sansa Stark's room and draws her a bath, telling her she must be clean and fresh for her new husband. As she washes Sansa's back, she tells her about Ramsay's reputation as TheBlueBeard. Sansa listens at first but then she tells Myranda to stop, reminding her that whatever she may have been, she was just a kennel-master's daughter and she should have known that Ramsay would tire of her. The dark implications of the trope are present even though Sansa is a noble woman who agreed to marry Ramsey. Her decision was not exactly voluntary and after the haunting midnight wedding, Ramsey rapes her, and forces brain-washed Theon (who was Starks' hostage/ward and basically grew up with the Stark children) to watch.
** [[Recap/GameOfThronesS3E8SecondSons "Second Sons"]] has a gender-flipped version. Upon arriving at Dragonstone Melisandre sends Gendry off to be bathed and dressed before he's brought to her chambers where she's planning on seducing him and using him as part of a BloodMagic ritual. When Stannis asks her why she's bothering to treat him with such apparent kindness instead of just killing him and getting it over with Melisandre explains that it's to keep him calm so he won't try to fight or escape, comparing it to how a lamb about to be slaughtered will panic if it sees the knife.

Not to be confused with BringHimToMe... [[ByNoIMeanYes Except]] [[FoeYay when it can be]]. And being a BathingBeauty is not a pre-requisite for this treatment either.

* A non-villain (but still JerkAss) example is ''Spellfall'': Natalie, a 12 years old girl, is captured by an [[BigBad evil Wizard]] Hawk, and after a few days of capture, escapes with Merlin, Hawk's son , who is 11 years old. When they arrive at the Council of Oq, she is told that before she can speak with the council, she has to take a swim in a special cleansing pool. As she herself also wants to be clean (after days without shower or bath), she is actually glad - until she learns that Merlin also has to take a swim in the same pool, and no, bathing suits are not provided.

* Lady Cassandra from ''Series/DoctorWho'' plays with this Trope, since she thinks the Doctor's companion, Rose Tyler could [[GrandTheftMe become her new host]]. She makes sure that her servant Chip makes Rose go through a disinfectant in the elevator of the hospital where they are all in. This was done intentionally since Chip hacks the elevator controls in order to lead Rose into their dungeon and asks her if she is all cleaned up. After a good time of snarking at each other, Cassandra manages to possess Rose and despite being disgusted about doing it at first because she is a high-class lady and Rose is of a humble background, she quickly grows fond of her new appeal, spending a good amount of time studying the new merchandise and later sexualizes her new (Rose's) appearance in order to seduce the Doctor. It helps that Cassandra is something like a [[FemmeFatale Femme Fatale]] archetype so there's a lot of [[ShamelessFanserviceGirl Shameless Fanservice]] from her side.

* ''The Series/{{Blackadder}} Chronicles'' included a transcript of Captain Darling's application form for Emergency Transfer to Somewhere Much Safer. At the bottom were three checkboxes for the superior officer to choose between: "Application approved"; "Applicant to be ShotAtDawn"; and "Applicant to be washed and sent to my tent".

%%* ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'':
%%** A minion named Drusus suggests his master do this to the captured Agatha. His master replies that he's read too many stories and that this would be a distraction from the crucial moment of his plot. Though he ''does'' suggest leaving her in the Velvet Dungeon for later.
%%--->'''Du Quay:''' I was under the impression that one of the advantages of being the Master of Paris would be no longer having to kidnap young women for an evening's company.
%%** When the King of the Silver Lands captured Agatha's entire party, he [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20160805 did this to all of them.]] Including the Jaegers.

%%* This happened to Creator/BoDerek as "Jane," in ''[[Film/TarzanTheApeMan1981 Tarzan, the Ape Man]]'' (starring Miles O'Keefe), as she was captured by generic African savages and prepared as the royal bride for their chief.

* ''WesternAnimation/ThePrinceOfEgypt'': Tzipporah, a Midian woman who was kidnapped by the Egyptians and given Ramses as a [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids concubine]], is passed off to Moses, who tricks her into falling into a pool of water. Ramses gives the order, "Dry her off and have her sent to Prince Moses's chambers!" Moses doesn't look any happier with the thought than Tzipporah, but she swiftly enacts her own escape before any awkward confrontations can occur. Funnily enough, this is {{inverted|Trope}} later--he winds up in Midian after wandering in the desert and is bathed by some old women. He seems just as uncomfortable as before.

%%* Happens to Lafiel in episode 6 of ''LightNovel/CrestOfTheStars''. Ironically, [[spoiler:she's a guest of an Abh noble, and she's the granddaughter of the Abh Empress, and doesn't realize she's being held at the time]].

* ''LightNovel/TheFamiliarOfZero'': When Siesta is made into a servant for Count Mott he explains suggestively he didn't hire her just to do household chores and a later scene shows her getting a bath while crying before she is requested to appear before Mott, presumably to engage in sexual activities with him (unwanted by her of course).

%%* Happens to Negi in ''Manga/MahouSenseiNegima'' when he visits Evangeline, who happened to be bathing at the time. His complaints are mostly because he doesn't like washing.

%%* The Obsidian Lord orders his female [[TheDragon Dragons]] to [[LesYay do this]] to Mai after he's done using MoreThanMindControl on her in the manga version of ''Manga/MaiHime''. Very creepy since [[spoiler: he's using her younger brother Takumi's body as his vessel.]]

* ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1942'': Queen Clea has ComicBook/SteveTrevor stripped, cleaned up, [[GoGoEnslavement dressed in a loincloth]] and brought before her...to face some of her monsters in the arena for her entertainment. Despite the heavy BDSM overtones this series was aimed at ''children'' and thus remained SafeForWork.

* In ''Film/SuperMarioBros'' Koopa has Lena give Daisy a makeover before they meet face-to-face, including a princess dress that belonged to her mother, a different hairstyle, and red lipstick.

The {{villain}} has the lovely damsel [[IHaveYouNowMyPretty right where he wants her]]. His plans for her at this point will likely involve putting her in GoGoEnslavement, [[DroitDuSeigneur invoke ''ius primae noctis'']], and possibly giving her a SadisticChoice [[ScarpiaUltimatum between preserving her virtues and preserving the life of that insufferable do-gooder she calls her true love]]... '''but first, it looks like she could do with a nice hot bath!''' He has his servants (hot maidservants usually, or failing that, eunuchs) take her away to be cleaned up and groomed properly. Bonus pervert points if he then [[ThePeepingTom watches them]] [[{{Fanservice}} strip and bathe her]] via [[SurveillanceAsThePlotDemands hidden camera]], two-way mirror, peephole, CrystalBall, or the like.

* ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1942'': Queen Clea has ComicBook/SteveTrevor stripped, cleaned up, [[GoGoEnslavement dressed in a loincloth]] and brought before her...to face some of her monsters in the arena for her entertainment. Despite the heavy BDSM overtones this series was aimed at ''children'' and had to remain SafeForWork.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/legend_of_basara_13_2.png]]

* Early in ''Manga/HanaYoriDango'', [[PluckyGirl Tsukushi]] is borderline kidnapped and brought to Doumyouji's BigFancyHouse, where she gets a bath and a makeover from the house staff. Somewhat averted, as there is little to no sexual coercion intended - Doumyouji wants either to bribe her to be his girlfriend or bribe her to stop interfering with the F4, depending on the adaptation. Doumyouji is just that dense.

* In the UsefulNotes/{{furry|Fandom}} comic, ''Xanadu'', when Tabbe Le Fauve is captured, the unicorn Empress Alicia orders him bathed in the magic unicorn pool. Being a cat, Tabbe is frantically resistant to be thrown into water, but immediately changes his mind when he is thrown in: the magic water feels more like silk and Empress Alicia, naked, smoking hot looking and horny as her horn, climbs in to join him.
