History Main / SexualExtortion

* Ralph König's ''ComicBook/KillerCondom'' (''Kondom des Grauens'') begins with this trope - underage female student hates herself for it, but chooses to let her professor have his way with her in turn for passing an exam. [[spoiler:Luckily, the condom he picks turns out to be a genetically engineered monster that eats his dick and then crawls away, leaving him bleeding and her laughing hysterically.]]
* In one ''ComicBook/BatmanAndTheOutsiders'' storyline, a professor tries this on a student, who refuses and [[DrivenToSuicide tries to kill herself]] when threatened with having her education ruined. When [=GeoForce=] hears about it, he tries to pound the perp into gelatin but is stopped by Franchise/{{Superman}}. [[spoiler: Franchise/{{Batman}} comes through with a more ethical and lawful solution, finding some of the professor's other victims and convincing them to press charges.]]

** Back when he was the perfect of Bajor, Gul Dukat regularly offered better rations and other benefits to Bajoran women and their families if they agreed to sleep with him.

* Crops up in an episode of ''Series/{{Castle}}'' with a photographer who makes models sleep with him in order to get good shots. The victim of the week tried to record the photographer propositioning her so she could expose his behavior as she had no intention of cheating on her husband. [[spoiler: Becomes even worse when it's revealed that her husband killed her because he thought she ''was'' cheating on him. On the upside, while the police can't charge the photographer with anything, they report him to the victim's manager, who has him blacklisted from the industry.]]

* ''Webcomic/{{Evon}}'': Herodotus tries to recruit Evon's enhanced clone, Evee, for a mission to rescue Evon from The Cabal. Evee agrees to help him, but only if he'll "let her show him how much she loves him.'' [[spoiler: He gives in.]]

** Dennis's sister Dee is similar, but with her own "insinuation" instead of an "implication." Namely, if a guy flirts with her but isn't willing to go all the way, she'll insinuate that she'll make a FalseRapeAccusation against him if he doesn't have sex with her that night.

* ''Series/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia'': The infamous [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yUafzOXHPE "Because of the implication"]] scene. Dennis's plan to seduce women with his new boat is to get them alone on the open ocean, get them drunk, proposition them, and imply that terrible things will happen to them if they refuse. He doesn't consider it rape if [[QuestionableConsent they don't explicitly say "no" to him]].

* ''LightNovel/TheTestamentOfSisterNewDevil'': Chisato confronts her nephew, Basara, with evidence of his affairs with the girls that are living with him and uses it to blackmail him into an incestuous relationship with her, as well.

* The French film ''I, Bajou'' is about Bajou, a Tunisian Jewish businessman. His business goes bankrupt. His biggest creditor proposes to his wife to have sex with her in return for forgiving the debt. (Only the two of them know.)

* ''VideoGame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic'': This can be a KickTheDog moment for the player when you find that your companion Vette's little sister has been forced to (all, but flat-out called) {{sex slave}}ry. After helping to free her, a male player can force her to sleep with him as payment for freedom, while a female player will have her service the male members of her crew.

* The StarterVillain of ''VideoGame/Persona5'', Suguru Kamoshida, attempts to do this to Ann, offering her best friend a starting position on the school's volleyball team. And he's been pursuing her for quite a while before the protagonist begins to interfere.
** The third boss, Kaneshiro, is a Yakuza boss who tries to blackmail the Phantom Thieves into getting him 3 million yen ($30,000) in a few weeks. He offers Makoto a chance to work off their debt as a SexSlave, [[NonStandardGameOver and if you don't complete his palace in time she goes through with it]].

* In the fifth episode of ''WesternAnimation/MoonbeamCity'', Pizzaz is forced to sleep with the Mayor three times a week to keep the Police Department from being absorbed by the city's much more functional Fire Department.

* ''Manga/KaijuGirlCaramelise'': A tall boy who [[spoiler:sees Kuroe use her BreathWeapon at night]] demands that she "come have some fun" with him in exchange for [[spoiler:keeping quiet about her being a {{Kaiju}}]]. She responds that she won't because he's a stranger, but when he threatens to tell everyone, [[spoiler:she has a PartialTransformation and does a TailSlap on him before running off]].

* In ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'', residents of Vault 11 were told that they would have to send their Overseers to be executed every so often, or otherwise everyone in the Vault would be killed. Before she was elected as the final Overseer, Katherine Stone was blackmailed into performing sexual favors for members of the largest voting bloc [[ScarpiaUltimatum in order to save her husband from being sacrificed]] ([[YouSaidYouWouldLetThemGo which they did anyway]]).

* The story of Joseph and Potiphar's wife in Literature/TheBible: mentioned more or less in passing in the Genesis, but illustrated with detail in the apocryphal Testament by Joseph. Joseph was keen on following the pre-Commandments Jewish law in any case. Potiphar's wife introduced heavy threats and blackmailing into the play, finally accusing him of raping her in a fit of rage after Joseph escaped her rape attempt. Afterwards she promised to set him free from prison, where he had been sent, if he would do as she wanted.

* ''VideoGame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic'': This can be a KickTheDog moment for the player when you find that your companion [[TheChick Vette's]] little sister has been forced to (all, but flat-out called) {{sex slave}}ry. After helping to free her, a male player can force her to sleep with him as payment for freedom, while a female player will have her service the male members of her crew.

* In BoysLoveGenre ''LightNovel/AiNoKusabi'', Riki was a SexSlave of Iason Mink and has been free for about a year. Iason then comes to claim Riki back.

** Subverted in "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS2E6DeathisABitch Death is a Bitch]]": After helping him recover from a broken ankle, Lois asks Death if he wouldn't mind sparing her husband. Death says sure, but "you'll have to do something for me." After a moment's indecision, Lois begins to slowly unbutton her shirt...only for Death to [[InnocentInnuendo state that he meant that she could grab him another fruit cup from the fridge]]. It's unclear whether this is true or if he was just messing with her by seeing how far she'd go.

Subtrope of QuestionableConsent. Goes hand in hand with SexIsEvilAndIAmHorny. Contrast EthicalSlut and SafeSaneAndConsensual. When a villain does it to someone close to the hero, it's a ScarpiaUltimatum.

* The French film ''I, Bajou'' is about Bajou, a Tunisian Jewish businessman. His business goes bankrupt. His biggest creditor proposes to his wife to have sex with her in return for forgiving the debt. (Only the two of them know.) [[/folder]]

* In ''Film/HorribleBosses'', Dale's boss Julia does this to him as part of a concerted campaign of sexual harassment. An unusual Female on Male example that ''isn't'' played ''strictly'' for laughs (though his friends aren't as sympathetic initially as he might hope, as even more unusually for the case where female on male sexual harassment is shown, she's actually fairly physically attractive).

->'''Nightclub Owner''': Here's the money, for the girls.\\
'''Ginger Moss''': I'll make sure they get it.\\
'''Owner''': Yeah, I'll bet. When?\\
'''Ginger''': When? When bodacious Beverly stops holdin' out on me. I'm gonna invite her up to my place tonight for a little career manipulation.

* In ''Literature/{{The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo}}'' Lisbeth Salander is repeatedly molested [[spoiler: and eventually raped]] by her new guardian whenever she asks for more money from her account. When he started out sexually harassing, molesting, and [[spoiler: orally raping her]], Lisbeth assumed that he was just on a power trip. However, after he [[spoiler: violently anally rapes her]], she finds out that she misjudged him in that he wasn't just on a power trip, but he was a full-blown sexual sadist who took advantage of his guardianship position over her (since she was declared legally incompetent). Lisbeth being Lisbeth, [[RapeAndRevenge she gets even with him in due time]].
* One story in ''[[Literature/ChicksInChainmail Chicks and Chained Males]]'' makes an off-hand remark that a woman does not tell a god "No" unless she wants to end up like Cassandra.

* Played with in ''[[Literature/KushielsLegacy Kushiel's Dart]]''. Phedre buys passage across the Strait to Alba for her party by agreeing to sleep with the local admiral. Of course, she's a HighClassCallGirl to begin with so it kind of comes with the territory: the only odd part for her is being the customer instead of the vendor.
* ''Literature/{{Stardoc}}'': Cherijo Grey Veil's "father" Joseph created her as an OppositeSexClone bride for himself, but she EscapedFromTheLab. In ''Shockball'' her husband Duncan is seriously injured and she breaks back into the lab to try to save his life, and Joseph agrees to help [[ScarpiaUltimatum in exchange for Cherijo bearing him a child]]. She thinks he means IVF and agrees out of pure desperation, but finds out afterwards he means to do it naturally. Fortunately he's stopped before getting any further than that explanation.

* In ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' Quark attempts to extort oo-mox (basically the [[FantasticArousal Ferengi equivalent of a handjob]]) from female employees twice on-screen. The first employee takes the contract to Commander Sisko, who declares the relevant provision null and void on grounds of ''what the Hell?'' (More specifically, that although this may be acceptable under Ferengi and/or Cardassian law, it is illegal and therefore unenforceable under Bajoran law.) The second time is "Profit and Lace", where [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext after spending a couple days as a woman]] Quark rescinds the demand, only for the employee to tell him it sounded like fun.
