'''Archibald Cunningham:''' I will tell you something, to take with you. Your wife was far sweeter forced than many are willing. And truth put to it, I think not all of her objected...

And no, '''[[NoRealLifeExamplesPlease we do not need Real Life examples.]]''' Mostly because it's ''[[BlatantLies stupid]]''.

And no, '''[[NoRealLifeExamplesPlease we do not need Real Life examples.]]''' Mostly because this is a ''[[BlatantLies stupid]]'' way to defend yourself if you're the rapist.

* ''{{Fractale}}'' has a retroactive version of this trope. The [[spoiler:[[BigBad male military commander]] reveals just how he's been testing and examining the mysterious waif]].
* The ''BattleRoyale'' manga got really nasty with this in the beginning.
* [[BigBad Nakago]] tries to pull this on Tamahome in ''FushigiYuugi'', even going so far as to [[HoYay "show" Tamahome how he kissed Miaka.]] [[spoiler: Nakago never actually raped Miaka, partly because Suzaku was protecting her, and partly because [[RapeAsBackstory it hit too close to home for him]]. So it ended up being one of those "let's not and say we did" kinda things. Both Tamahome and Miaka believe he raped her, though.]]

* In ''TheSandman'', Loki [[spoiler: after having his neck broken and his eyes eaten by the Corinthian]] tries to goad Thor into killing him by revealing that he had seduced Thor's wife Sif. He goes into rather lurid detail too.
* Happens in the GraphicNovel ''{{Joker}}'', done ''by'' the Joker to [[DesignatedHero Johnny Johnny's]] wife [[RantInducingSlight all because]] Johnny didn't tell him he had a wife.

* In ''[[TheDevilsAdvocate The Devil's Advocate]]'': "Well, on a scale of 1 to 10 — 10 being the most depraved act of sexual theatre known to man, 1 being your average Friday night run-through at the Lomaxes' household—I'd say, not to be immodest, Mary Ann and I got it on at about...SEVEN!"

* In ''{{Gladiator}}'', Commodus tells Maximus that his wife "moaned like a whore" while Commodus's men raped her. Interestingly, [[UnstoppableRage Unstoppable Rage]] didn't ensue. Doesn't mean Maximus didn't kill him when he got the chance, though.

* In RoaldDahl's short story ''The Great Switcheroo'' the protagonist Vic entices his friend into a mutual BedTrick so they can sleep with each other's wives. They go to great lengths to make sure the wives don't find out, wearing each other's cologne, discussing their bedtime routine, technique and so on. Vic is dismissive of his friend's technique, but is crushed the next morning when his wife tells him that she had never really enjoyed sex until last night.

* In ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'', Euron Greyjoy raped Victarion's wife and claimed it was consensual, in order to force Victarion to kill her under Ironborn law.

Guy never actually ''does'' manage to deflower Marian; but after their coersive engagement Guy tells Robin: "I'll laugh every time I..." (interrupted by Robin's punch) and then later says: "I'll [[HoYay think of you]] when I take her to the marriage bed."
* On ''{{Series/Heroes}}'', Sylar possesses Matt Parkman's body and sleeps with his wife. He later brags that she enjoyed Sylar's version more than she ever enjoyed Matt's.

* On ''TheShield'', Vic seduces [[InspectorJavert Lt. Kavanaugh's]] ex-wife (for whom he still carries a major torch), just to get in Kavanaugh's head. Kavanaugh learns about it first from ''her''. Vic merely twists the knife when confronted.
--> '''Vic:''' [whispering in Kavanaugh's ear] Your ex-wife's pussy... tastes like sweet, sweet butter.

Compare[=/=]contrast with ItsNotRapeIfYouEnjoyedIt, where the victim does like it, whereas this is just the villain [[KickTheDog lying for the sake of being a total prick]]. One variation has the villain not directly engaging in the act himself, but instead orders his lieutenant(s) to carry out the deed, with the same obvious end-result. Not ''always'', but ''usually'' done with [[AlwaysMale male villain]]/[[AlwaysMale male hero]]/[[AlwaysFemale female victim]]. Frequently provokes UnstoppableRage and/or ExtremeMeleeRevenge.

* In ''FamilyGuy'', when Stewie is trying to get rid of Brian's replacement, New Brian, he tells him that nobody in the family likes him. New Brian retorts that Stewie's teddy bear Rupert seemed to like him while he was humping him last night, as "he just lay there and took it. Stewie remains calm and silent for a moment, then the scene cuts to him [[GoryDiscretionShot dragging a blood-stained trash bag out to the curb.]]

* A minor villain in ''TheDestroyer'' believes that it is not only a man's right, but in fact his duty and obligation to have sex with women whenever he can, regardless of what they feel about it. He even boasts that he's "shown a few lesbians what they're missing out on".

* In the ''CriminalMinds'' episode "Paradise," the Un Sub asks one of his victims if she's ever wondered what it's like to be with a real man right before he rapes her in front of her unconscious husband. Then he taunts them both about the husband's "weakness" for being unable to protect the wife

* A rather unique (but no less depressing) example occurs in ''ADanceWithRogues''. The protagonist is a female, and it is ''her'' who ends up being a victim of rape; immediately afterwards, the rapist laughs at her pain and callously taunts her. Later, this man (who she is ''forced'' to work with as an ally) makes contant jabs at her, spreading nasty lies and making snide comments all over the place in regards to what he did to her.

* ''{{Highlander}}'' - Centuries after he rapes her, the Kurgan taunts Macleod that this is the reason his wife never told him about it.

* Also from Bond, in ''LicenseToKill'', Dario and his men taunt Felix Leiter with news of their murder of his new wife, among other things telling him, "We gave her a nice honeymoon," implying that they raped her before killing her. Then they feed Felix to a shark.

* Done in an episode of ''ColdCase'', when a father tracked down and confronted the pedophile who had abducted his son, and again, when the younger brother of a rape victim confronted the rapist.

* In ''{{Braveheart}}'', King Edward the Longshanks attempts to invoke this trope by establishing the law of ''[[DroitDuSeigneur Prima Nocte]]'', which grants English lords the sexual right to take any Scottish girl for himself on her wedding night. He figures with this in place, some of his lords will both be more eager to rule in Scotland, and more thoroughly keep the Scots under their thumb. We witness this happen at one wedding, and later while William Wallace is leading an attack on the English garrison, the husband of that woman confronts the lord who carried off his bride on their wedding day. When the lord sees the husband coming at him with UnstoppableRage and a drawn weapon, rather than bragging, he tries feebly protesting that he never hurt the girl and was just utilizing his legal right.
--> '''Lord Bottoms:''' I never did her any harm. It was my right!
--> '''Morrison:''' Your ''right?'' Well, I am here to claim the right of a husband!
--> [''Morrison kills Lord Bottoms'']

* ''Fractale'' has a retroactive version of this trope. The [[spoiler:[[BigBad male military commander]] reveals just how he's been testing and examining the mysterious waif]].

* In AdamCadre's ''Ready, Okay'', Carver Fringie claims this [[spoiler: about Peggy]].

* In ''TheWheelOfTime'', Eamon Valda tries to provoke Galad by gloating about how he raped Galad's stepmother. [[spoiler:Galad kills him.]]

* Happens in ''{{Anime/Monster}}''. Inspector Lunge's wife and daughter left him due to his obsession with work. During the climactic battle, Roberto implies that his wife was having an affair with him and really enjoyed it, causing the normally emotionless and robotic Lunge to momentarily lose his cool.
** ''True Blue'' is an especially glaring example.

* Happens in the GraphicNovel ''{{Joker}}'', done ''by'' the Joker to [[DesignatedHero Johnny Johnny's]] wife [[RantInducingSlight all because]] Johnny didn't tell him he had a wife. Joker fans were... quite divided about this event...

* Gender-reversed a couple of times in ''The Shadow Chronicles'', first with a spider demon taunting Akane about what she'd done to Ranma [[spoiler: we never actually find out if she really did rape him physically, but she most certainly did mentally, as well as Other Things]] and [[OnAClearDayYouCanSeeForever later]] with a succubus taunting Sailor Moon about what she'd done to Tuxedo Mask [[spoiler: And it's rather obvious that that one's telling the truth, because both the reader and Sailor Moon actually see it happen.]]

* In TheFilmOfTheBook of ''TheCrow'', Tin-Tin tells the title character, whose girlfriend was raped by him and his friends, that "I shagged her pink ass and she ''loooooved'' it!" He comes to regret these words.
* In ''{{Gladiator}}'', Commodus tells Maximus that his wife "moaned like a whore" while Commodus' men raped her. Interestingly, [[UnstoppableRage Unstoppable Rage]] didn't ensue. Doesn't mean Maximus didn't kill him when he got the chance, though. It did, however, mean that Commodus' guardians refused to give him a second sword during his fight with Maximus after he got disarmed.

For a villain, there are many ways to get to the hero, to really make him hurt. One popular way is through his loved ones, and one of the most effective methods is to [[IHaveYouNowMyPretty violate his love interest]] and then gloat about it to him. Maybe kill her after, if you wanna be a real dick. And if you ''really'' want to twist the knife, when he confronts you, tell him ''she enjoyed it''.

* In ''FullMetalPanic'', this was originally part of Gauron's MurderTheHypotenuse plan for Kaname (seeing how she was "[[DefrostingIceQueen softening]]" the beautiful Assassin Saint Kashim). Before killing her, he wanted her body to be violently raped and violated. He might've done it himself, except for the fact that [[spoiler: he was kinda missing his arms and legs, which would make it a tad hard for him to get there and do that]]. So instead, he orders one of the [[WifeHusbandry male twins he raised]] to do the deed in his stead. [[CompleteMonster Further, he wanted the man to take pictures of her raped, dead body and give them to him, so that he could show them to Sousuke.]] Thankfullly, she doesn't actually under go this.

* {{Hentai}} often has this in rape-themed stories; sometimes the girl ''will'' end up enjoying it and asking for more, screwing her boyfriend or seeming love interest over. Her reason is usually that [[BiggerIsBetterInBed the often ugly rapist's dick is just too big and the boyfriend's small by comparison dick won't be able to satisfy her]] (despite the fact she has never had sex with him because the rapist will be the one to take her virginity). FetishFuel for many male viewers and some female viewers too.

* [[http://www.reocities.com/Area51/5072/grstories/ENDGAME.TXT "Endgame"]] by Tara O'Shea, the first-known ''[[WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGalaxyRangers Galaxy Rangers]]'' fanfic on the web, used this [[spoiler: And it's ''really'' too bad Killbane survived the stab wounds. He does ''not'' survive Niko frying his mind, however.]]

** In this case, he actually has a real reason...he's arguing it was consensual.

* In ''Forced Vengeance'', GiantMook Karn tells Randall (ChuckNorris) that his girlfriend (found raped and murdered in the previous scene) was [[YouNoTakeCandle "Goooood fuck!"]]. Randall proceeds to teach Karn what [[DestinationDefenestration "defenestration" means]].

* In ''{{Rocky}} 3'', top contender Clubber Lang is upset that Rocky won't give him the title shot he deserves. After interrupting a ceremony of Philadelphia dedicating to Rocky a public statue in his likeness, Clubber makes an appeal directly to Rocky, then to the crowd. When those fail, he decides to make things a little more personal.
--> '''Clubber:''' ''*to Adrian*'' Hey, woman! Hey, woman! Listen here. Since your old man ain't got no heart, maybe you'd like to see a ''real'' man. I bet you stay up late every night dreaming you had a real man, don't you? I'll tell you what: bring your pretty little self over to my apartment tonight, and I'll show you a real man.
--> '''Rocky:''' '''''[[ThisIsUnforgivable YOU WANT IT? YOU GOT IT!]]'''''

--> '''Lord Bottoms:''' I never did her any harm. It was my right!
--> '''Morrison:''' Your ''right?'' Well, I am here to claim the right of a husband! (Kills Lord Bottoms and spits on his corpse)

* In ''DeceptionPoint'' the villain's internal monologue states that he "Had no doubt it was the most pleasurable experience of her life." Although it was a case of seducing a naive-ish assistant (with some racist overtones) rather than actual rape.

[[folder:WebOriginal]]
* In Act 2 of ''DoctorHorriblesSingAlongBlog'', Captain Hammer brags to the titular character about how he is going to give Penny (Dr. Horrible's LoveInterest) "the night of her life." Though so far as we know, it's consensual.
--> '''Captain Hammer''': You've got a little crush, don't you, Doc. Well, that's gonna make this hard to hear. See, later, I'm gonna take little Penny back to my place. Show her the command center, [[{{Thememobile}} Hammercycle, maybe even the Hamjet]]. You think she likes me now? I'm gonna give Penny the night of her life, just because you want her. And I get what you want. See, Penny's giving it up, she's giving it up hard. Cause she's with Captain Hammer. And these...
-->[Hammer holds up his fists]
-->...are not the hammer.
-->[Hammer leaves, then returns]
-->[[DontExplainTheJoke The hammer is]] [[CrowningMomentOfFunny my penis]].
* In his review of ''FinalFantasyVIII'', [[TheSpoonyExperiment Spoony]] comments on Squall and Rinoa's "great romance", by reminding us, in graphic detail, [[LovableSexManiac even for him]], that Seifer "got there first".
