* ''Series/TheCrown2016''. While Prince Philip is on a tour in the royal yacht ''Britannia'' they rescue a shipwrecked islander fisherman. Rather than just dump him at the nearest port and continue their tour, Philip orders the crew to return him to his island. The natives throw a party where it's implied the nubile island maidens are very appreciative. Unfortunately, Philip's private secretary Mike Parker writes a boastful letter to his friends at the Thursday Club that gets everyone in a lot of trouble, given that both Mike and Philip are married--the latter to the Queen, no less.

* Used for ShipTease when ''Series/{{Castle}}'' (for once) gets to tease Beckett in "Always Buy Retail".

* In the {{Hentai}} ''Bible Black'', after the protagonist rescues his LoveInterest from the ritual to kill her, thus sending her soul to hell, so that the BigBad can continue living, they admit their feelings for each other, and spend an afternoon having sex. Subverted in that the ritual was successful, and the BigBad's soul is in the LoveInterest's body.

* ''Webcomic/BlackHole'': In "Gratitude", Diana almost gets run over by truck but is saved in the nick of time by Petroleum Man. She decides to have sex with him as a way of thanking him, though he admits he expected something mundane, like buying a coffee.

* In ''LightNovel/KazeNoStigma'', Kazuma actually suggests this to a girl once. Admittedly, at that point, he's shrugged off several assassination-attempts from her, convinced her family not to have her killed due to the dishonor she's brought on them, forgiven her for killing several hundred innocent people in an attempt to kill him, and finally managed to find a way to knock her out of her OneWingedAngel state without having to kill her in the process. She joins a convent with remarkable speed at that point.

* ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'' had a ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda''-themed parody of this. Link kills Ganondorf and starts talking to a rescued Zelda about all the dangers he faced, hinting that he wants sex. Zelda tells him that, while she's rewarded her many rescuers with sex in the past ("Of course, the ''first'' time I was rescued, I fucked that guy's brains out!"), the thrill is long gone and she doesn't just sleep with complete strangers anymore. She actually gets further turned off when Link reveals that it took him 50 hours to get to the end of the game, and gives him 8 rupees for his trouble. After Zelda hops out the window, Link offers to save [[ADateWithRosiePalms another princess]].

* Becomes TroublingUnchildhoodBehavior in the International Cut of ''Film/TheProfessional''. Leon rescues 12 year-old Mathilda from the middle of DEA headquarters after she fails to kill the {{Dirty Cop}}s who murdered her family. Mathilda then [[RescueRomance decides she is in love]] and offers to lose her virginity with him, so Leon has to gently refuse her. They compromise on [[InnocentCohabitation agreeing to share the bed]].

* In the season one finale of ''Series/{{Farscape}}'', Chiana, the resident LovableSexManiac, propositions John to thank him for risking his life to save the rest of the crew. He gently turns her down and tells her to "pass it on" (ie, help someone else who needs it.) A later episode involving [[spoiler:TimeTravel]] reveals that Chiana was [[spoiler:the girl John lost his virginity to]].

* ''Series/TheBoys'': Played for BlackComedy when Deep rescues a dolphin from an ocean theme park and it's [[BestialityIsDepraved implied the dolphin is eager to show its gratitude]]. Unfortunately ([[BrainBleach maybe not for the audience]]) Deep accidentally kills the dolphin by slamming on the brakes to avoid a police car, [[CrossesTheLineTwice sending it flying through the windshield]].

* In Literature/{{Kane}} story "Undertow" handsome and strong barbarian Dragar saves beautiful and noble Dessylyn from some street thugs who attempt to rape her when she happens to wander around seedy port district and they go on to become lovers. {{Subverted}} in that [[spoiler: Dessylyn was never in any danger and it was all a ploy to get Dragar to kill Kane for her.]]

* In ''VideoGame/RideToHellRetribution'', the player can rescue women from abusive men, and they immediately reward him with sex. And we do mean ''[[UpToEleven immediately]]'', while the blood on the player character's fists is still warm.

* ''Film/PrinceCharming'': The casanova Prince John saves a damsel during the day of his wedding, who rewards him with sex. The knights of the visiting kingdom catch them during the act, which leads to Prince John and his servant Rodney to be cursed and transformed into frogs for eternity until a maiden kisses Prince John to break the curse.

** Hilariously enough, [[spoiler:it actually develops into an real relationship in ''Film/KingsmanTheGoldenCircle'', culminating in Eggsy and Tilde (the princess) getting married]].
* Subverted in the opening scene of ''Film/{{Machete}}''. The title character rescues a female kidnap victim who turns out to be [[ShamelessFanserviceGirl jaw-droppingly attractive, totally naked]], and eager to reward her rescuer, while Machete is only interested in saving her. [[spoiler:For his trouble she stabs him with his own machete as it's all a trap by the BigBad.]]

* Pam says to Cyril that Lana will have no choice but to sleep with ''WesternAnimation/{{Archer}}'' after the latter saves the former's life. This never actually happens, and it's likely that Pam was trying to tease Cyril, Lana's boyfriend.

** In ''Literature/TheValeOfLostWomen'' Conan turns this down, aware that Livia only made the offer because she in desperate straits, and accepting it would [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil no different than taking her by force]]. And unlike the Tough Guide example above, Conan makes it clear that he'll escort her to safety as well.

* A variation is played for laughs in ''Film/AceVenturaPetDetective'' where Ace gets this from a busty, immodestly dressed client for rescuing her dog.
