* In ''Webcomic/{{Goblins}}'', LizardFolk have BlueAndOrangeMorality compared to other sentient creatures which results in them viewing eating, mating and violence as different aspects of the same thing. K'seliss displays this point when he fondly tells Gremm an anecdote about showing his fondness for a female by eating all of her fingers, only to be outdone by another male who then ate her entire arm.

** It happens again when Juno pins [[spoiler: Louis]] to the ground to make her 'declaration of war.'
** For carnivores, the ability to kill is seen as a sort of rite of passage not unlike losing virginity. Legosi tries to understand Tem's killer's perspective, even noting that he "has something he doesn't", by starting small and eating a larvae raw; and afterwards he shows textbook examples of a freshly unvirgin male (he's in pure bliss following the consumption, his fur grows back, he gets more confident).
** Even strip joints run on this sort of logic. One particular stripper notes that the crowd (which is made of mostly predators) gets more and more frenzied while she (a herbivore) does her thing on stage, and uses that power to her advantage.
** A lamb named Sebun, who ends up as Legosi's neighbor for various reasons, [[DrivenToSuicide harbors suicidal urges of being devoured by a carnivore.]] Legosi, who is [[spoiler: suffering "Meat Withdrawal" after eating Louis's leg at the latter's inclination to beat Riz]], keeps accidentally creating situations that are this trope incarnate, complete with pinning her down and the two having heavy breaths.
** Pina and Melon both see predation as equal to male-on-female interactions, but take opposite stances. Pina understands how it feels to have indescribable lust for the opposite sex, and relates it to Legosi's urges to eat meat when he's alone with an herbivore; conversely, Melon was never able to understand the urge to "eat" rather than the urge to "kill", only awakening to it [[spoiler:when he gets to know Haru]].

[[ImAHumanitarian Cannibalism]] is a strange beast. In most cultures eating another person is generally frowned upon. Most media tends to handle the subject one of two ways: either with horror or with [[BlackComedyCannibalism dark humor.]] However there is a third way to use it: as a metaphor for sex.

At first such an idea might seem strange. After all, what do the two concepts have to do with each other? But upon further inspection they do have more in common than one might think. Both hunger and sexual desire are classified as "needs" and going without either for a long period of time can make the need for them feel all the more stronger. On top of that we have phrases like "sexual appetite" that combine hunger and lust into a single concept. People who lust after somebody are said to "hunger" for them. And in the actual act of lovemaking the man typically ends up "inside" the woman, just like he would if she ate him. Indeed, when a woman has a lot of sexual partners she is called a "maneater," implying that she not only sleeps with these men then ditches them, but devours them like hors d'oeuvres.

As a result media sometimes adds sexual undertones/overtones to the concept of eating another person. Often times this manifests as innuendo eating is pretty much a euphemism for sex. It also shows up as a metaphor for sexual power and dominance in characters like the LiteralManeater, who both titillates and devours her victims. A third way this trope can be used is the predator catching her (as it's often a her) prey in a manner that is reminiscent of a seduction.

SubTrope of InterplayOfSexAndViolence. HemoErotic is the SisterTrope for when drinking blood is sexual. LiteralManEater, where a MsFanService devours men, is a subtrope.
