History Main / ConsumingPassion

A form of DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything, SubTrope of InterplayOfSexAndViolence. HemoErotic is the SisterTrope for when drinking blood is sexual; also compare BloodLust. LiteralManEater, where a MsFanservice devours men, is a subtrope. Contrast SuccubiAndIncubi, who do the opposite: eating people through sex. See also ALoveToDismember.

* Music/TheCorrespondents: "Fear and Delight" compares a relationship with someone dangerous (Emotionally or physically, it's never made clear) with prey approaching a predator, knowing full well they'll be eaten but approaching anyway.

* ''Webcomic/{{Jack}}'': Lily and Bob's romance and shared cannibalistic traits cross over heavily; Prior to meeting Lily, Bob was a regular caller of phone sex hotlines, where his fantasies often ended with descriptions of eating the woman on the other end. After discovering Lily shared his fetish, the two ended up killing and cooking a coworker Bob was attracted to the same night they had sex for the first time, and would go on to share the title of the Sin of Gluttony.

* Played for laughs in ''Anime/MeatOrDie''. Yans and Gans, a couple of obnoxious male dinosaurs, see hearts fill their vision when they first lay eyes on nearby herbivores with feminine names and colors. It's downplayed, however, since their subsquent pursuit of the herbivore is standard chase toon fare.

* ''Webcomic/{{Housepets}}'': Lois and Marion are ex-humans transformed into animals, who maintain their romance despite being on opposite sides of the food chain. Lois (The bobcat) gets a lot of mileage out of romantically teasing Marion (The squirrel) over this, frequently holding the possibility over him she might eat him and giving him such flirtatious nicknames as [[https://www.housepetscomic.com/comic/2023/04/28/back-on-track/ 'Nugget']] and [[https://www.housepetscomic.com/comic/2019/12/25/we-dont-need-no-stinking-badger/ 'Little Snack']]. A running gag is made of their InterruptedIntimacy, frequently mistaken by Sasha as Lois chowing down on him.

* ''Fanfic/CodexEquus'': The giant [[https://www.deviantart.com/brutalityinc/art/Deities-and-Divines-Amaredae-934931662 Queen Peínagápia]] reflects both aspects of this. She began life as a goddess of self-control, becoming a StepfordSmiler until her EmotionSuppression became too great. When she broke, she went on a rampage across the countryside, devouring and ravaging anybody she came across, including her own family. After she broke out of her trance, she would learn to balance her newfound hedonist desires, but still represents Indulgence and Lust as well as her previous titles.
