* Predictably in ''VideoGame/DestroyAllHumans'', as it's a loving send-up and parody of 50's alien invasion flicks, with the player as the alien invader. One of your earliest missions is to kidnap one human female for "testing" purposes, so the aliens can determine if human DNA can solve their cloning problem. The sequel ramps it up by heavily implying your character is the first of these aliens in a very long time to have a, ahem, "package."

* Averted in ''VideoGame/XCOMUFODefense''. The aliens do kidnap earth women (and animals) but it isn't an act of eroticism -- they simply use them in genetic engineering, both to mix human DNA with the other subject races in their civilisation (to produce even better warriors etc.) and to breed them (note that the woman isn't necessarily alive at the time).

* Myth/ClassicalMythology has all manner of male deities, satyrs, centaurs, and demi-gods falling in lust/love with and/or abducting/raping female humans. The reverse was very rare, partly because centaurs and satyrs are {{One Gender Race}}s. Exceptions include the occasional nymph--which we see echoes of in some later (i.e., from TheMiddleAges onward) depictions of TheFairFolk and their [[OurMermaidsAreDifferent nautical cousins]], and in the term "nymphomaniac" for a hypersexual woman--and some versions of the Amazons that had them taking male slaves in order to breed with them.

* This happens a ''lot'' on Website/{{Literotica}}. The only version more common than "alien abducts human woman ForScience" is "alien abducts human man [[GenderBender and turns him into a woman]] ForScience"

** The ExpandedUniverse has an [[GenderInvertedTrope inversion]], however. Female Twi'leks are considered sexually attractive to males of most humanoid species -- especially human men. Zeltrons are less famously so, but those who know of them tend to think they're even better, partially due to their use of pheromones and a more humanlike skin tone.
*** Twi'lek girls, in fact, frequently find themselves on the wrong end of this trope despite not being human. Everyone in the ''Star Wars'' galaxy needs Twi'lek women.

Biologically, this is completely insane. [[FridgeLogic Imagine]] a human in the real world [[{{Squick}} falling in love with a squid]][[note]][[Franchise/{{Splatoon}} Inklings]] don't count, but given most of the squids you'll see hanging around are teenagers, that's [[PaedoHunt morally wrong for a different reason.]][[/note]] and you'll see why. Of course, squids don't have that kind of complexity, which may be the difference here — you can't see past their looks to their "nice personality". But MostWritersAreMale. It's more plausible with RubberForeheadAliens and other HumanoidAliens, however, since they look enough like humans and vice versa for there to be an attraction. Regardless, this often results in [[HalfHumanHybrid Half-Human Hybrids]]. This, however, is equally biologically insane; you'd have a better chance getting knocked up by a ''tree'', since you and the tree are at least ''from the same planet''. Then again, having HumanAliens and RubberForeheadAliens is just as big a case of ArtisticLicenseBiology to begin with, so interbreeding with humans wouldn't be too big a leap from there.

* Fat Fred, the Gaean "[[WingedHumanoid angel]]" from ''[[Literature/GaeaTrilogy Wizard]]''. His nickname stems not from his appearance, but from the fact that he's a bit of a ChubbyChaser. And as angels have next to no body fat (in order to be able to fly), even a fairly slim human woman is just his type by angelic standards.
* Gender-reversed in Gary Ghislain's amusing YA novel, ''Literature/HowIStoleJohnnyDeppsAlienGirlfriend''. Inhabitants of the [[AmazonBrigade all-female planet Vahalal]] periodically dispatch a beautiful[=/=]formidable 'Traveler' to Earth to bring back a male 'Chosen One', [[SexSlave with or without his consent.]] The title reveals [[Creator/JohnnyDepp whom]] the latest Traveler has set her sights on...

* Explored in Creator/OctaviaButler's ''Literature/{{Xenogenesis}}'' trilogy: Mars needs 'everybody.' Specifically, gene trader aliens who travel throughout the universe mixing their DNA with other species in order to create new, stronger breeds. In a twist, this makes them value life so much that they can't leave self-destructive humanity alone, even if it's what the humans want. Much of the conflict comes from humans being less than thrilled with this.

** Near the end of the series, the actual origin of Trollocs, Myrddral, and other Shadowspawn is revealed to the reader: during the war that eventually led to the end of the Age of Legends, people that fought in the name of [[{{Satan}} the Dark One]] made them [[GeneticAbomination out of humans]]. So whatever motivation Myrddraal have for raping human women would have been put there on purpose by [[MakerOfMonsters whoever made them in the first place]].

* On ''Manga/SgtFrog'', the small froglike alien Giroro has a crush on human Natsumi that borders on obsession at times. In a reversal of this trope, {{human alien|s}} Angol Moa has a crush on Keroro.

* The Martian [[OneGenderRace cavemen]] roaches in ''Manga/TerraforMars'' are known to gang up on human women and... [[SubvertedTrope rip them apart]] for no real reason if there's no other threats to deal with. However, an organization called We Are The Cosmos feeds them information on how to fight the Annex I squad and how to pilot the Bugs I ship for an invasion of Earth. With their support, the roach leader known as the Invoker oversees an underground laboratory where humans are bred for experimentation. Only then, out of a morbid GoalOrientedEvolution mindset, do the roaches force humans to bear HalfHumanHybrids with the same OmnicidalManiac behaviour as them.
* Hooguro from ''Manga/TokyoGhoul'' has a thing for human women, in spite of being a member of the AntiHumanAlliance, Aogiri Tree.
* Watanuki in ''Manga/XxxHolic'' has [[CloningBlues something]] about him that draws supernatural creatures dangerously close to him. While most of them just want to eat him (there was a massive scramble just for his ''eye''), there are some like the Zashiki-warashi and ''especially'' Mugetsu who want him in ''that'' way.

** Played for laughs when a flashback shows [=TuV'k=] as a FormerTeenRebel on Mars, lusting after a [[PlanetTerra Terran]] student and wearing a [[FlyingCar floaterbike]] jacket emblazoned with the words ''Mars Needs Women''.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheSuperMarioBrosMovie'', Bowser is a Koopa (a kind of turtle) whose attraction to Peach, a human, is more than a little creepy not only because of their differing species but also the fact that he wants to force her to marry him. This is dialed up in the Japanese version, where he explicitly states that he wants to marry her so she'll bear his children.
