** Notably, Erik truly does not have sex in mind, as proven by him not raping Christine when he had the chance, so the usual UnfortunateImplications truly don't apply.

* In the final chapters of ''Literature/TheWolfDenTrilogy'', [[spoiler: Felix, Amara's old pimp]] returns unexpectedly and threatens to reveal secrets that will destroy her life and family (including a bloody execution for her husband) if she doesn't pay him, sleep with him, and then sell her body on his behalf.

** ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'': Kira uses the Orb of Time to travel back to the Cardassian occupation of Bajor to find that their regime was no stranger to forcing Bajoran women into "comfort wife" positions with the promise of their families being taken care of (or potentially harmed if they did a bad job or refused). Dukat even had a standard pick-up line for a new woman who took his fancy where he made himself out to be less bad than his lecherous officers. Kira's mother was one of the women forced into this position; Kira initially perceives this as a betrayal of the Bajoran people, but she later realizes that her mother had no real choice.

* In Evangeline Walton's retelling of the second branch of ''Literature/TheMabinogion'', ''The Children of Llyr'', Penarddim lets Eurosswyd have his way with her to save Llyr, who was Eurosswyd's prisoner. She subsequently gives birth to Main/PolarOppositeTwins Nissyen and Evnyssien, and it is speculated that [[Main/ChildByRape the way they were conceived]] had a part in their opposite personalities. [[Main/AdaptationExpansion In the original it is only said that Eurosswyd was the twins' father]], but given that Llyr was still his prisoner it's likely that Penarddim still only acted for her husband's sake.

When the wife/sweetheart/sister/daughter/etc. makes the offer, see PleaseIWillDoAnything. If the hero is a complete {{Jerkass}}, or he's too traumatized, he may shun the wife or girlfriend afterwards, believing her DefiledForever whatever her intentions, due to his [[EmasculatedCuckold own humiliation]] at losing her [[MyGirlIsNotASlut sexual exclusivity]].

* In ''Film/TheDeathOfStalin'', Lavrentiy Beria treats this as a job perk of being head of the NKVD. He never follows through with his end of the bargain, preferring to dispose of both the woman and her husband once he's gotten what he wants. This is in addition to his nature as a serial rapist.

* In the Romanian film ''4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days'', Otilia helps her friend Gabita terminate her pregnancy in Ceauşescu-era Romania, when abortion was strictly forbidden. The illegal abortionist they locate, Mr. Bebe, eventually makes it clear that he expects both women to have sex with him as part of his payment. (In partial defense, he had a point that if they were caught, his punishment would have been far more severe than theirs.)

* ''Series/BattlestarGalactica2003'': At the beginning of Season 3, Ellen Tigh sleeps with a Cylon to get her husband out of jail. He's released, but it was only a test. Now that it's established she'd do anything for him, the real condition to release him is to have her agreeing to spy on him while he catches up with the rebels. [[spoiler:But as soon as her husband believes his rebel friends that she must be spying on him, he kills her after saying he would rather still be tortured in prison than having her spying on him. So not only did she agree to be raped for nothing, it got her killed by the very man she agreed to be raped for in the first place. It gets even worse than that, however; Ellen is later [[OedipusComplex revealed to be Cavil's mother figure]], and she created him in the image of her father. And we find out that Ellen and Tigh are both Cylons. [[{{Squick}} Cavil knew all of this at the time]]. Can't be more Greek tragedy than that.]]
