Go To

Basic Trope: Sex restraints are used with ulterior motives.

  • Straight: Alice flirts with Bob while playfully waving around some Kinky Cuffs. Bob eagerly lets Alice cuff him to a bed, only for her to steal his wallet and go away, leaving him stuck.
  • Exaggerated: Bob is led to a room with many bunk beds all lined up and filled with trapped men who have fallen for Alice's ploy. He still lets her cuff him up and take his wallet, and declares the robbery to be worth the makeout session, just like all the other dudes did. What a bunch of idiots!
  • Downplayed: While Bob is halfway through taking off his shirt, while his arms are still in the sleeves and he can't see with the fabric over his eyes, Alice takes that exact timing to pick his pocket. Alice and Bob have some vanilla fun, and Alice makes her getaway before Bob realizes his wallet is missing.
  • Justified: ???
  • Inverted: ???
  • Subverted: ???
  • Double Subverted: ???
  • Parodied: Bob later turns the tables on Alice when he captures her, strips her naked and handcuffs her hands behind a pole outside a school. Alice tells him the coordinates of the terrorist he’s searching for and he thanks her before leaving as the bell rings.
  • Zig-Zagged: Alice and Bob take many turns on who's the rope bunny and who's the rigger, since they both got carried away after picking each other's pockets. The next day, they go about their business, realize what happened, and contact each other to demand "Give Me Back My Wallet"
  • Averted: ???
  • Enforced: Alice was originally just going to be a Percussive Pickpocket, but to Avoid the Dreaded G Rating, her tactics were changed to Affectionate Pickpocket, and when that wasn't enough, her tactics were escalated to something more risque.
  • Lampshaded:
    Bob: I should have known this was Too Good to Be True...
  • Invoked: Bitchy Betty hires Alice to use this tactic on Bob.
  • Exploited: Once the deed is done, Bitchy Betty shows up, taunts Bob, reveals that she has pictures, and blackmails Bob.
  • Defied: Bob refuses to get tied up.
  • Discussed: When Carl finds and rescues Bob, Carl scolds Bob for being stupid enough to fall for Alice's tricks.
  • Conversed: "Shouldn't Bob have been a bit more suspicious?"
  • Implied: Alice and Bob vanish offscreen around sunset. Carl looks worried but says nothing. Jump Cut to next afternoon, Bob is getting driven home in Carl's car. Bob is looking very disheveled, still rubbing his visibly chafed wrists, coming up with contrived innocent reasons why Alice was Not Staying for Breakfast, and wondering aloud where his wallet went. Carl rolls his eyes and mutters "What an idiot"
  • Played for Drama: Alice ties Bob up, reveals she’s a spy and rapes him as she interrogates him for intel.
