There are two closed doors right next to each other, identical in every way except one: One has a large KEEP OUT sign on it in bold, red letters. Which door is someone more likely to try to open? It's not rocket science.
Forbidden Fruit is a person, place, or thing which is absolutely irresistible to one or more characters, whose appeal lies solely in the fact it has been forbidden, prohibited, and declared unquestionably off limits. They feel they must have it only because they know they can't or shouldn't have it. Frequently takes the form of a Pandora's Box they are not to open, a Big Red Button they are not to press, an experiment they are not to mess with, a person they are not allowed to be with (romantically or otherwise) or even hear about, a potion they are not to taste under any circumstances, a Tome of Eldritch Lore containing dangerous forbidden knowledge that can drive one to madness, or a place nobody is supposed to ever visit.
Can be a result of Genre Blindness, but not usually, since the attraction of Forbidden Fruit is in and of itself contrary to logic. More often than not, the characters know that going for it would be a stupid move; they just can't help themselves. (They are particularly likely to be young.)
Needless to say, opening the forbidden door or acquiring the Forbidden Fruit leads to disaster 99.9% of the time. Used often in setting Booby Traps, where it becomes Schmuck Bait, when a villain intentionally takes advantage of the power of Forbidden Fruit to lure heroes to their doom. (Unless, of course, he is redeemed by the power of delicious fruit pies.)
The trope takes its name from the Garden of Eden story in the Book of Genesis, where Eve is tempted into eating the Forbidden Fruit (an apple, according to Fanon), making this Older Than Feudalism. note It is also theorized that the "forbidden fruit" of Genesis was actually a fig or a pomegranate, the forbidden Underworld food that did in Persephone, but that's another tale. Because of this, see also Tempting Apple, when an apple is used to symbolize temptation, though not necessarily because it is forbidden.
In his analysis of the Fairy Tale, The Morphology of the Folktale, Vladimir Propp concluded that the functions "prohibition" and "disobedience" really formed a single plot function — any prohibition was bound to be violated.
The economic principles of scarcity may go a long way towards explaining this phenomenon.
See Briar Patching when this trope is invoked by a character. See also Forbidden Chekhov's Gun, Apple of Discord, Artifact of Attraction, Curiosity Killed the Cast, Don't Touch It, You Idiot!, Schmuck Bait, and Wanting Is Better Than Having. Prime source of Cold Turkeys Are Everywhere, Do Not Do This Cool Thing, a "What's Inside?" Plot, and the Streisand Effect. Compare and contrast Thought-Aversion Failure, when someone who is told not to think about something will inevitably think about it — involuntarily (because of the way our brains function), and Forced Meme, where a blatant attempt to make something popular fails due to not having that "mystique" that draws people in.

A Thousand and One... Americas:
In the seventh episode, a sacred Mayan mask (namely Pakal's) is stolen, and Chris helps a priest in his quest to retrieve it. The priest explains that the mask is not meant to be taken away from its placement under any circumstances, as doing so can lead to a cataclysm.
In the twenty-third episode, Chris learns that the Xingu tribe does not allow women to see the sacred flutes stored in a special hut, much less play them; according to their beliefs, a huge disgrace would happen to both the woman and the rest of the tribe if she violated the rule.note During a ceremony, Chris notes that some men are playing flutes while women are still around, but he's told that those flutes in particular are doubles and don't have a sacred value Near the end of the episode, a young girl succumbs to curiosity and sneaks into the hut where the sacred flutes are, and begins playing one despite Chris alerting her not to. Before anything bad happens, he wakes up just as his girlfriend plays a big Xingu flute in the attic where they are in the real world.

Hoborg's crown in The Neverhood becomes this. It's the one thing Klogg could not have in the new world, but it was all that he wanted. When Klogg eventually stole the crown, it transformed him into an ugly-looking creature, corrupting him. (Not that Klogg really seemed to care.) If Klaymen takes the crown for himself, it transforms him into a creature similar to that of Klogg, corrupting him as well. It’s only by doing the right thing and returning the crown to Hoborg that Klayman can get a happy ending.

The Simpsons:
Subverted in a Halloween episode; when Homer sees the school thermostat with the note "Do not touch — Willie" on it, he reads it as "Do not touch Willie", regards it as good advice, and promptly turns up the heat.
A more straightforward example is the Halloween episode where Homer sells his soul to the Devil for a doughnut, then realizes that the Devil can't have his soul if he doesn't eat the whole thing. So he leaves a piece, marks it "Daddy's Soul Donut. Do Not Eat" and puts it in the fridge. Later, Homer goes for a midnight snack, sees his note, and goes "Mmm. Forbidden donut... chomp!"
There's the time when Bart is at the Wiggum household and he and Ralph get into the chief's closet which contains all his police gear, including weapons. The chief catches them and admonishes Ralph with "What is your fascination with my Forbidden Closet of Mystery?"
There's the Simpsons trying to get rid of a faulty trampoline, figuring that nobody will want it. Bart convinces Homer to chain it to a pole, and Snake promptly shows up and steals it.
In the episode where Homer starts smoking medicinal marijuana, he tells Bart that his medicine, which Bart must never use, because it will ruin his life, lets him see magical, wonderful things that Bart will never, ever experience. Ever.

In one of the Ah! My Goddess "Mini-Goddesses" adventures, Skuld labels a Big Red Button "Do Not Touch", and naturally, Gan-chan and Urd fight over who will press it first. Skuld wisely re-labels it "Please Touch Me", causing them to lose interest — at which point the ever-obliging Belldandy pushes the button.

Season three of Heroes introduces Hiro by him watching a video will of his father Kaito telling him he just inherited a safe, and never to open the safe, or the world may end. The very next thing Hiro does is open it. Kaito apparently expected nothing less of his son, seeing that the safe contains a note telling Hiro to unpause the video, in which Kaito immediately goes "I told you not to open it!"

Casteel Series: Invoked. Heaven moves in with her grandmother and her grandmother's husband, Tony Tatterton. Tony allows her to live with them on several conditions, one of which is that she stay away from his brother Troy. Heaven ignores this, and she and Troy end up falling in love. When Tony finds out, he admits that he'd been hoping that might happen and that the reason he'd forbidden her to have any contact with Troy was that "the forbidden fruit is often the sweetest." Then this trope hits again, hard, when it's revealed that Tony is Heaven's real father, making Troy her uncle.

Naruto has a literal Forbidden Fruit called the Chakra Fruit from a tree in the backstory. During an era of war, a princess ate the fruit of the God Tree to gain its power to end the conflicts by force. Her son was born with similar powers, the Sage of Six Paths. The Tree became enraged by this, turning into the Ten-Tails. The rest is history. It is later revealed, however, that the Tree never reacted to the theft of the fruit. It was Princess Kaguya who became corrupted by her power, then, in anger of her sons inheriting it, absorbed the rest of the Tree and mutated into the Ten-Tails in an attempt to overpower them and reclaim the power she felt was rightfully hers.

In Paranoia, the Commies initially didn't exist — they'd disappeared long before Alpha Complex was built, but The Computer mistook civil defense files from 1957 as being up to date. Then some citizens got so fed up with The Computer that they decided to become the thing It hated most, even knowing nothing else about it. And devote themselves to the ideals of Groucho Marx and John Lennon.

Harry Potter:
Ironically, in the first book, there is a corridor that is designated as forbidden, which the characters only end up in by accident. Apparently, everyone else took Dumbledore's warning of a "most painful death" seriously. The same goes for the actually named Forbidden Forest, which the characters only wind up in because circumstances force them, and which most people avoid due to rumours of it being filled with horrible beasts (though the Weasley twins had apparently made attempts to enter it). However, the forest is entered again in nearly every book; Hagrid once held classes in there (though Hagrid is of the opinion that nothing in the forest would harm anyone with him because its denizens know him so well, and he seems to be right for the most part).
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix: Hermione delightedly explains that Professor Umbridge has done the one thing that will guarantee every student will read Harry's interview with Rita Skeeter: ban it.

Played unusually literally in Christina Rossetti's Goblin Market, where magical fruit serves as a temptation to young women. Seeing as Lizzie gives Laura more of the fruit by letting the goblins press it to her lips and then letting Lizzie kiss the juice off of her, it's safe to say that the fruit is a metaphor for sex.

As a matter of fact, it's addressed that the main reason he fell in love with Masataka was that Masataka was "different from the others". And Souma, of course, unaccustomed to not getting sex from someone he wants, proceeds to tie Masataka up and rape him repeatedly.

Enchanted Forest Chronicles: Played with in Dealing with Dragons. After accidentally unleashing a djinn from an unlabeled bottle (that one character had been warned not to touch but the other hadn't) Cimorene thinks fast enough to recover the situation, seals the spirit in the bottle again, and then makes an "idiot-proof" label that explains exactly why it shouldn't be opened to prevent future mishaps. Oh, and the incident also furthers the plot.

In one Married... with Children episode, Al was accidentally circumcised and had to abstain from sex for a month. For most of their marriage, Al put great effort into avoiding sex with his wife. But now that it was forbidden, she suddenly became some sort of irresistible sex goddess whose every casual action seemed to turn him on. This trope would also explain why Al is so obsessed with younger women even though Peg is quite the MILF: he's attracted to what he can't have.

Discworld:
In Thief of Time, Susan wonders why someone would build a clock that stopped time and then realizes: "If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH', the paint wouldn't even have time to dry."
In Hogfather, Ridcully finds a door marked, "Do not open under any circumstances." So, naturally, he orders it opened, just so he can see why it was sealed shut. By the end of the book it is sealed up again, but the groundskeeper makes sure not to seal it too well as he knows that the next Archchancellor will want it opened again. He knows how wizards think, apparently.
In The Last Continent this is further lampshaded, as the wizards prop open a window to another dimension/time and hang a sign on it saying, "Do not touch the window, not even to see what would happen."
In Lords and Ladies, the stone circle is specifically not forbidden territory because of this trope; the people who aren't forbidding it don't want people going there at all.
In Carpe Jugulum, a shrewd vampire aristocrat turns out to have named his home "Don'tgonearthe Castle", in the happy knowledge that this will guarantee a steady supply of passing travelers to snack on.
The Unseen University Challenge includes a passing mention of the not-entirely-complimentary nickname "Merkins" for Americans, with a footnote whose text is "do not look this word up in the dictionary" but the subtext is "the dictionary's over there, what are you waiting for?"
The Patrician has been known to make Vimes take a case by forbidding him to investigate. Although he once accidentally went a bit too far and actually discouraged Vimes from investigating when he secretly wanted Vimes to do so. Balance is important when invoking this trope.

The Odyssey: Aeolus was a king that Odysseus's party stopped to visit on the first year after winning the Trojan War. He entertains them well, and they stay for a month at his island, then say their goodbyes. To speed their journey, Aeolus gives Odysseus a bag made from the skin of a nine-year-old ox, and inside it is the North, South, and East winds. After ten days of smooth sailing that would probably set some records, they come within sight of Ithaca. Odysseus goes to sleep after handling the bag for so long, and his companions, thinking there's gold from Aeolus in the bag, go to peek in it. The other winds burst out, and swept the ships away from their own country, eventually leading to everyone but Odysseus's death, and for him, his homecoming is delayed by nine years.

Clerks: The Animated Series: When breaking into Leonardo Leonardo's skyscraper, Dante and Randall come across a door on the roof with skulls hanging off it and 'MAZE OF DEATH' written in blood on the door. Naturally, Randall wants to go through this door, even though Dante protests and points out the perfectly ordinary door leading to the same place right next to it. We don't see the horrors that they experience when they choose door number one, but given that it apparently includes a minotaur and a Billy Crystal / Robin Williams movie, door number two seems to have been the better bet.

One segment of Tales from the Darkside: The Movie involves a man who witnesses a demonic monster brutally murder someone. The monster spares his life on the condition that he never tell anyone else about it. Years later, the man is married to a beautiful woman and has two children... guess what he does? The minute he tells his wife about the monster and the killing, she turns into the monster and kills him, then leaves with her now-equally demonic-looking children.
This is very similar to the "Yuki-Onna" (snow witch) segment of the Japanese anthology ghost film Kwaidan. Only difference is, the Yuki-Onna spares her husband's life on account of their kids.

Invoked in Injustice 2 in Catwoman's arcade ending. She and Batman finally enter a long-term relationship, but she realizes she was primarily attracted to him because he was forbidden, not despite it. Also, being a billionaire's girlfriend meant she had no reason to ever steal again, boring her senseless. She leaves him to return to her old life.

Risk: Legacy is a campaign-oriented version of the classic board game, with a series of envelopes that you're supposed to open over a series of fifteen games; they contain various items that affect the layout of the board, the abilities of the various factions, and other things that change how future games are played. There's one sealed envelope at the bottom of the box that simply reads "DO NOT OPEN. EVER". The contents of this envelope vary between different copies of the game, whose effects include awakening ancient beings, unleashing a supervirus, or knocking the world out of orbit and introducing drastic weather conditions.

The Fanboy and Chum Chum episode "The Tell-Tale Toy" has Fanboy become addicted to an Ultra Ninja Chum Chum gets, but he's not allowed to play with it. Eventually, his addiction gets the better of him and he eventually breaks it, and tries to hide the truth. This surprisingly becomes subverted, as Chum Chum is not mad the ninja is broken, revealing he only wanted the box it came in, and was going to give Fanboy the toy. Fanboy becomes so surprised at this that he faints.

In The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, Lucy, reading through a spellbook, comes upon some forbidden spells. Aslan's intervention helps her resist the temptation to cast a spell that would make her the most beautiful woman in the world but cause misfortune to others, but as a direct result she immediately makes up her mind to cast another spell which will tell her what her friends think of her (and regrets it, since it shows her one of her friends bad-mouthing her to another girl).

Tolkien's Legendarium:
The Hobbit: Gandalf and Beorn warn Bilbo and the dwarves many times to stay on the path in Mirkwood, emphasizing that it's the only safe place there. Or rather, safest. Near the end of the long and frightening trip through, exhausted and low on supplies, they spot the wood elves' feasting off the path, and despite Thorin clearly remembering the warning, they decide to approach and beg for food. Unfortunately, true to Gandalf's warning, they get lost, are quickly ambushed by the Spiders, and even after escaping, the wood elves take them prisoner. (Not that being captured was a bad thing at this time.)
The Fall of Númenor: The Edain are gifted with greater longevity, advanced technology, an idyllic island...and the warning that they can go wherever they want but Aman. When the Men start mumbling about being forbidden from going to the Undying Lands (wrongly believing they would become immortal), the Valar's Messengers once again explain the motives of the Ban to them (the Undying Lands cannot make someone immortal, and in fact would shorten the lives of mortal folks who stepped foot on them; and Men are not meant to go to Aman because it is a haven specifically built for Elves. Men have their own haven which Elves are banned from), but the Edain refuse to listen. At one point the Númenoreans decide to invade and conquer Aman, whereupon Eru removes the continent from the planet, making impossible for them violating the Ban again.

Initially subverted in one series of Nodwick strips. The sorceress She Who Must Be Obeyed had obtained a written copy of That Which Man Is Not Meant to Know, and she is smart enough not to read it because she realizes that it's obviously dangerous if no-one should know it. However, Piffany assures her that only men are not meant to know it; women can safely read it because it's something that they know already. When she reads it not revealing it to the readers, the fact that such a secret would be so devastating to men almost makes her bust a gut laughing.

Played with Yo-kai Watch 3, which features an actual food item called "Forbidden Fruit" (which even looks like an apple) which makes every Yo-kai who eat it to automatically befriend you, so this is quite useful to befriend those high-ranked Yo-kai you only get to battle once a day. The only downside is that it can only be found in the Cluvian Continent (the setting of the Blasters T mode).

Wolf Hall portrays Henry VIII's attraction to Anne Boleyn as having a lot of this trope in it. Between the Pope's refusal to annul his marriage to Katharine of Aragon and Anne's refusal to actually sleep with him out of wedlock, Henry is in a fever pitch to have her. Once they're actually married, his attraction to her cools (especially since they have bad luck getting a son despite her delivering a healthy daughter right away). He still has the satisfaction of spiting the Holy Roman Emperor, but Thomas Cromwell maneuvers the ambassador into acknowledging her and thus Henry finally wins that contest of wills; soon after he orders Cromwell to get rid of Anne. Henry's attraction to Jane Seymour follows much the same pattern—when she rebuffs his advances in a profession of modest chastity, it just makes him want her more.

Rogue of the X-Men is this for Gambit. Her mutant powers keep her from touching others or else they will be rendered comatose. Gambit, relentless and successful womanizer, finds himself stuck on the notion of a woman that even he can't have. It helps that the two have a fair deal in common, having similar cultural backgrounds and being on the wrong side of the law before joining the X-Men, making her that much more irresistible for him. Needless to say, they always take advantage of any time her powers are down.

Dragon Age: Origins:
Mentioned in an amusing conversation with Leliana, where she talks about being in the cloister surrounded by chaste young women. She says that being forbidden fruit "added to their mystique." The really amusing part comes from the Warden's "Is your fruit forbidden?", to which Leliana responds "My...fruit? I can't believe I'm having this conversation."
Ser Cullen, a Templar at the Circle Tower, is revealed to have a long-standing crush on the Female Mage Warden. Templars and mages are definitely not allowed to have sexual or romantic relationships for a whole bunch of reasons. The power imbalance is just one. The risk of being torn apart by demons is another. And Cullen discovers a third when the Tower is overtaken by demon-possessed mages; they prey upon his desire and torment him nearly to madness.

The chosen priestesses in Fushigi Yuugi must be virgins and remain as such until they summon the deity that chose them and ask for three wishes. Cue excessive amounts of rape attempts on the heroine, Melodrama between love interests, and the like. This is taken even further in the prequel manga when, during the time of the priestesses of Genbu and Byakko, it's revealed that a wish for the priestess to be with a man she loves in the world of the Universe of the Four Gods cannot ever come true. The Priestess of Byakko, Suzuno, requests this wish, and Byakko cannot grant it to her.

Yuu and Mika are this for Ferid in Seraph of the End. They're an important part of the Seraph of the end experiment and its considered taboo to interfere with the vampires plans for them, it's also illegal for them to drink blood directly from humans, and drinking blood is considered to give both the biter and the one getting bitten a feeling of immoral pleasure. Guess what Ferid does to Yuu in chapter 46 and also his biting of Mika which Mika lampshades as being illegal. The fanbook also states his greatest fantasy is sucking Guren's blood when he's at the height of his glory before Guren's comrades.

When Ross learned just how potent Romulan ale was after having his first sample, Romulan Senator Cretak noted when Ross admitted that it was his first time consuming the ale that it being illegal never stopped most Starfleet officers from having some.

Around 2012, this was EA's marketing team's preferred technique. To promote Dante's Inferno, this team created a fake protest of people offended by the game's depiction of Christianity. Dead Space 2's advertising consisted solely of middle-aged and elderly people, mostly women, being horrified and disgusted at viewing footage of the game, then talking about how no one should be playing it. In other words, both of these games are selling themselves as being abhorrent to the Moral Guardians, and that alone would be appealing. Extra Credits thoroughly chewed up this marketing team in this video.

Rebuild World: The Rival Katsuya, being a prideful and envious Satire of a Stock Shōnen Hero, seems to have his interest in women be directly proportional to their closeness to the protagonist Akira. Regarding Elena, Sara, Reina, and Sheryl. All this being a Green-Eyed Monster, when his unit is literally called "The Harem Squad" by detractors due to it having so many young women in love with him in it. So it may have more to do with his envy of Akira’s recognition from the veteran hunters who bully him.

In one episode of Garfield and Friends, Jon bet Garfield he couldn't go five minutes without eating. Garfield figured — rightfully — that Jon thought he had no willpower, and took that bet, but poor Garfield was tempted almost constantly the entire five minutes (shown by a timer provided) everywhere he went by people offering him free food, making him wonder at one point why this never happened any other time. And the most shocking thing is, this is a subversion. He actually won the bet.

In the Garfield: His 9 Lives story "The Garden", Cloey and the orange kitten live in a magical garden created by Cloey's Uncle Todd. The one rule he gives them is to never open the crystal chest on the checkered toadstool. So they don't, because they love Uncle Todd and would never do anything to upset him.

Star Trek:
In the Star Trek: The Original Series episode "Requiem for Methuselah", the only part of Flint's mansion that Rayna Kapec is forbidden to enter is one specific room. Guess where she wants to go more than anywhere else? Flint doesn't want her to go in there for a good reason. It's the laboratory where she was created: she's a humanoid robot.
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Averted in the episode "Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges" in that as long as it was illegal Admiral William Ross was one of the few Starfleet officers who did not drink Romulan Ale, only sampling some when it was no longer forbidden in the Federation. When Ross learned just how potent Romulan ale was after having his first sample, Romulan Senator Cretak noted when Ross admitted that it was his first time consuming the ale that it being illegal never stopped most Starfleet officers from having some.

In Mamotte Shugogetten, one of Shaorin's previous masters was a little girl. When she wanted to go to the town near their house, Shaorin told her absolutely no, because the wolves were near it. Shaorin later goes to town herself, leaving the girl all alone. The instant Shaorin leaves, the little girl leaves as well. This leads to the girl being fatally injured by the wolves and dying in Shaorin's arms.

An episode of Will & Grace featured Jack finding a mysterious locked room in Karen's apartment that even Rosario is afraid to enter. Jack relented after Karen literally wrestled him away, only to fall into the room on accident. The room is a nursery that Karen set up after a pregnancy scare; the fact that she kept it at all is a major Pet the Dog moment.

Girl Genius: At one point, the Other and Dr. Monahan get into discussion about a nearby mutagenic compound, which Monahan has — in true Spark fashion — tested on her minions, turning them into shuffling monsters. She's a little surprised the Other didn't notice the large door elsewhere telling people not to open it, but the Other retorts that she was clever enough not to. Meanwhile, Bang and a crew of sailors have in fact done just that.

In the original Space Quest, the escape craft that Roger had to use early in the game had a button that said "Do Not Push". Pushing it took him to a crazy other dimension called the Daventry Zone which was actually the world that King's Quest took place in, resulting in a Nonstandard Game Over. (Of course, simply seeing it may have been cool enough to try it, so long as you saved the game first.) The VGA remake changed this to Roger being transported to Conquests of the Longbow and suffering a fatal crash.
Curiously enough, Roger claims in one of the sequels that he had actually been to the Daventry Zone and returned, so canon-wise, it seems something like this actually happened to him.

Oddly Enough: In "Herbert Hutchison in the Underworld", at the entrance to Hell, an angel presents Herbert with a box and tells him not to open it. Naturally, he can't resist the temptation, and opens it to reveal another box, then an envelope inside that box, and finally a letter inside the box — which tells him he failed the Secret Test of Character, and is now doomed to Hell for all eternity.

In the first Song of the Lioness book, Duke Roger invokes the hell out of this trope as his second kill-the-Crown-Prince plot when he tells Jon and the other pages how terribly dangerous the Black City is, so much so that even Roger wouldn't try messing with whatever's there. Predictably, Alanna soon catches Jon sneaking off.

In Hogfather, Ridcully finds a door marked, "Do not open under any circumstances." So, naturally, he orders it opened, just so he can see why it was sealed shut. By the end of the book it is sealed up again, but the groundskeeper makes sure not to seal it too well as he knows that the next Archchancellor will want it opened again. He knows how wizards think, apparently.

Perelandra: Averted, but in an interesting way. In this 'verse, every planet's sapient inhabitants are given a single rule that is not to be broken. Earth's rule was the Trope Namer. Perelandra's denizens are not allowed to sleep on solid ground, and must return to one of the floating islands in the ocean, but this rule doesn't tempt them to sleep on the fixed land. Indeed, the idea isn't even enticing, since life on the floating islands is so pleasant; without the Un-man's intervention, there'd be no temptation to give in to.

Unfortunately for him, he neglects to tell Sae this, so Sae, intensely curious, reads mystery novels in the library and even brings them home until she gets caught. Once she does hear her father's reasons, she decides to write one he'll approve of, setting her on a path to become the Ultimate Mystery Novelist.

Malcolm in the Middle: Malcolm and Reese find a door with a sign saying it's for authorized personnel only AND "forbidden". Malcolm is hesitant but Reese sways him with "They wouldn't put something like that up unless there was something really bitching on the other side." Malcolm turns to the camera and says "I can't find a flaw in his logic." The next scene, the two are hauled by a security guard. While Malcolm openly blames Reese, he admits that "It was pretty bitching" making this a bit of a subversion. While they did end up disciplined for their antic, considering the lives of the cast, this case seems to be more an acceptable consequence.

One Piece:
When the Straw Hats get to Skypeia, they are told by one of the natives that there is a portion of the land that you can never, ever set foot on, because it's the domain of the almighty god, Enel. Luffy hears this and is immediately eager to go there as soon as possible, despite Usopp drilling into his head that they've been told they must never go there.
Implied with Boa Hancock. She's declared the "most beautiful woman in the world", and can mesmerize and have pretty much any man she wants. Guess who she ends up falling for? Luffy, the Chaste Hero who will absolutely never return her feelings. It's even implied that she fell for him because he was "not like the others", with him calling her a "stupid lady" and telling her to shut up.
In a more literal example, the Devil Fruits, which give the eaters superpowers but make them unable to swim, even taking away their buoyancy. And due to the fact that that world is mostly water, it's a heavy price to pay for anyone who would be a major part of the plot; pirates (and even Marines who combat them, and to some extent other people regardless of how they live) who eat it (including Luffy, the protagonist) are willingly risking their lives.
Saint Jaygarcia Saturn of the Five Elders expresses outrage that humans, despite being repeatedly told that doing a few specific things (such as investigating the Void Century) is strictly forbidden, inevitably feel a compulsion to do them anyway.

Of course, this "forces" Bender and Fry to immediately make every effort to steal the box (Fry: "Whatever's in there, it's the only thing I've ever wanted"). Leela distracts them with a decoy filled with booze and tangled Christmas tree lights, but then finally succumbs to temptation herself and looks in the real box.

The Fall of Númenor: The Edain are gifted with greater longevity, advanced technology, an idyllic island...and the warning that they can go wherever they want but Aman. When the Men start mumbling about being forbidden from going to the Undying Lands (wrongly believing they would become immortal), the Valar's Messengers once again explain the motives of the Ban to them (the Undying Lands cannot make someone immortal, and in fact would shorten the lives of mortal folks who stepped foot on them; and Men are not meant to go to Aman because it is a haven specifically built for Elves. Men have their own haven which Elves are banned from), but the Edain refuse to listen. At one point the Númenoreans decide to invade and conquer Aman, whereupon Eru removes the continent from the planet, making impossible for them violating the Ban again.

Straight from the first episode of Teen Titans, it is made clear that one thing you do not do if you want to stay on Raven's good side is go in her room. The other members of the team are actually able to resist doing so until the episode "Nevermore", where Beast Boy and Cyborg enter by accident and then find out why... She has dangerous stuff in there. In fact, the stuff in her room even makes her nervous sometimes. In "Fear Itself", she wakes up after having a nightmare, looks around nervously, and says, "Maybe I should consider redecorating..."

Naturally, later in the show, an emergency occurs and he is told to press the "Emergency" button. Three guesses what goes wrong... To top it off, the Captain of the aeroplane does not know what pressing the button marked "EMERGENCY" actually does as they've never had to press before. Those in the cockpit decide not to panic the passengers by telling them what's going on and just follow procedure and push the button. Unbeknownst on the flight deck the button triggers an alarm in the passenger section and the word "EMERGENCY" comes up on all the displays and is repeated over-and-over on the PA system.
Before the start of the series, Dougal evidently once faced the same problem on the bridge of a SeaLink ferry.

Courage the Cowardly Dog: In one episode, when Courage is searching for a storm goddess' pet dog (it's a weird cartoon) he finds that the dog has fallen under the spell of something called the God Bone, a giant bone that is so delicious that a dog who licks it will keep doing so until it starves to death. Despite a stern voice that bluntly warns anyone who enters the room of the danger, it appears that dogs simply cannot resist it. (The numerous dog skeletons surrounding it seem to prove this). Courage falls under its spell too but saves himself and the other dog by somehow managing to pick the giant bone up and carry it with him. In the end, he keeps the bone too.

FoxTrot lampshaded this in a 1997 strip with Jason flipping through the channels and continuing to change each time he came across something labeled TV-Y, TV-Y7, TV-G, and TV-PG, until he yells, "Is there nothing for a kid to watch when his parents aren't home?" Then he comes across a program rated TV-MA, and says, "Finally."

TV Tropes:
The ever-unobtainable All-Blue Entry.
We all know what happens when you invoke Candle Jack, but none of us can ever resist invoking Candle Jack. Oh wait, you can say "Candle Jack"; that meme's already dead by now. See?
Spoiler tags. Especially if it's a series you care about. You know you want to find out nooooo! They killed your favorite character!!
This is probably the main reason the Wondrous Ladies Room trope exists, and why so many things have fun subverting it or mocking it.

The Cuphead Show!:
In "Baby Bottle", one of the two rules Elder Kettle gives to Cuphead and Mugman is to not fight while he's away; the two immediately begin fighting when he leaves. Mugman stops partway through when he realizes he doesn't know why they're fighting; Cuphead replies that they're fighting because they're not supposed to. This satisfies Mugman, and the two go back to fighting.
In "Sweet Temptation", the second rule of Sugarland is that anyone who discovers it can eat all of the candy landscape that they like, except for Baroness Von Bon Bon's personal castle. This is an Exploited Trope, as the Baroness is clearly using Reverse Psychology to tempt people into breaking the rules so she can turn them into candy and eat them.

Underbelly faced this problem on its release, as the court cases for Victor Brincatt and Thomas Hentshel (the people behind the murder of Jason Moran at his kid's Auskick clinic) and other cases in the Melbourne Gangland War were proceeding at the time. Out of fear that the jury would be influenced by the show it was banned in Victoria, with one notable exception being episode five. Freak weather conditions in Tasmania bounced the signal to Victoria, allowing people in the state to get their first glimpse of the show.

SpongeBob SquarePants:
The episode "The Secret Box" centers on SpongeBob's obsession with a box that Patrick carries around.
"The Donut of Shame" focuses on Patrick wanting to eat a donut he thought was meant for SpongeBob at a party they had the night before. Worried that SpongeBob will get upset for him taking the donut, Patrick tries to hide the truth, but it turns out SpongeBob is not mad Patrick took the donut at all — the donut was indeed for Patrick because the party they had was his own birthday.
In "Jolly Lodgers", when SpongeBob and Patrick constantly follow Squidward throughout Hotel Halibut to their own will, SpongeBob slyly says if he wishes to be alone, then don't go into the room behind him, because that's where the Jellyfishing Convention is. Sure enough, Squidward does end up at Jelly-Con. Which was SpongeBob and Patrick's plan all along.

A Hole in the Fence: Courquetains would be a typical French town if it were not for the Forbidden Zone which lies beyond the Epnoi Forest, guarded by a huge police cordon. Nobody knows what lies beyond the wood, but the kids from the town are obsessed with sneaking past the guards, going into the restricted area and finding out. After catching protagonist Grisón once again, brigadier Beauras sarcastically remarks that neither of those kids would even think of walking near the forest if it was not forbidden.

In the video game Blasto, the player would run across large buttons labeled "DO NOT PUSH". Pushing them kills you instantly... most of the time. One rather nasty one scrambles the buttons on your controller, making it next to impossible to figure out how to access the menu and get out of the game. And some are beneficial.

Doctor Who:
The show runs on this trope. Ever since the very first episode, neither the Doctor nor his companions have been able to resist sticking their noses where they know they don't belong. Have you got that feeling that you shouldn't be poking around somewhere? Poke away! Mysterious deserted city that everyone wants to get away from? Must investigate! Impossibly ringing phone that a mysterious stranger tells you not to answer? "Hello?"
The Christmas Invasion:
The Doctor:...And how am I gonna react when I see this? A great, big, threatening button. A great, big, threatening button which must not be pressed under any circumstances, am I right? Looks like some sort of control matrix. [...] I really don't know who I am. I don't know when to stop. So if I see a great, big, threatening button which should never ever ever be pressed, then I just want to do this: [presses button]
"The Impossible Planet"/"The Satan Pit": The Doctor, when confronted with a large pit, in the centre of a planet referred to as Hell, which is in orbit around a black hole, with the Devil attacking, discusses with a scientist why they have an urge to jump down the pit, and how the feeling is. The Doctor resists at first, but later has no choice but to abseil down. When he runs out of rope but not pit, he gives in to the temptation to fall. However, the Forbidden Fruit in this instance is good — if he hadn't given in, the Satan-like alien would have been able to escape and take over the universe.
"The Crimson Horror" lampshades it:

The Rev. Eric Camden of 7th Heaven points out in one episode that ever since his wife put him on a diet, all he wants to do is eat. This is actually why a lot of diets fail in real life. It's not healthy to think of food (of any sort, unhealthy or not) as forbidden, or to think of occasionally eating the wrong food as "cheating" or "slipping up". That kind of thinking leads to people just plain giving up on dieting.

In The Amazing Days of Abby Hayes, Laurie follows an extremely strict diet, avoiding pretty much everything that isn't fresh, natural, or organic, which means that she eats practically nothing but nuts, crackers, and seeds. Sticking to her diet isn't a problem for her, but she also imposes it on her five-year-old daughter Wynter, who naturally takes every opportunity she sees to eat foods like hot dogs, ice cream, candy and chocolate behind her mother's back.

In The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, Lucy, reading through a spellbook, comes upon some forbidden spells. Aslan's intervention helps her resist the temptation to cast a spell that would make her the most beautiful woman in the world but cause misfortune to others, but as a direct result she immediately makes up her mind to cast another spell which will tell her what her friends think of her (and regrets it, since it shows her one of her friends bad-mouthing her to another girl).

Fallen London has quite a few storylets with the words "this will severely damage your character. Don't do it" or something like it on them. Many of them are Violations of Common Sense. They are always truthful. The wiki (filled out by the players) has precise descriptions of what happens if you do them.
Most notably in the "Seeking Mr Eaten's Name" quest, which is an entire, very extended storyline made of this trope. Among other things, it requires you to commit suicide seven times in a variety of horrific ways. This also has the distinction of being Forbidden Fruit in-universe; the Masters of the Bazaar will send you a cease and desist note if you take up the quest, telling you in no uncertain terms that it will destroy you. At one point, if you progress far enough, the game outright tells you that the real life Customer Support team will no longer support your account. And how does this quest end? With your character suffering Permadeath and the account being unusable.

Her girlfriend Nadine proceeds to point out that they live in France, where relationships between cousins are perfectly legal and not at all "forbidden", to which Eloise emphatically repeats that "FORBIDDEN LOVE IS HOT!", choosing to ignore any information that gets in the way of her fantasy. She eventually gets what she wants, but only in the Volume 3 Print Bonus story.

In Bruno the Bandit chess was outlawed after the king lost a game rather badly. This resulted in hundreds of illicit dens offering variations on the game to all-too-eager customers. Once it was finally legal to play again, the main characters pronounced it "dull" and were unable to comprehend their earlier fascination with it.

Jojos Circus: The first episode, "Easy as Pie", has Jojo check out her clown school classroom for the first time and set her sights on a pie-throwing robot which her teacher warns not to activate. But Jojo feels so tempted by the robot that she ends up activating it anyway, and the classroom becomes a pie-filled mess.

Stellaris uses this with a side of Unexpectedly Realistic Gameplay. Psionic empires that breach The Shroud can make contact with something calling itself The End of the Cycle, promising incredible rewards - a doubling of all income, production and scientific output — if you sign this Deal with the Devil. The text box to accept this is headed with "Do not do this," but of course seasoned Grand Strategy players are going to want to see what happens and whether they can find a way to weasel out of any negative consequences. The short answer: no. Fifty years after accepting the bargain, you lose everything - every ship, every space station, every planet in your empire - except for one lonely colony led by the only leader sane enough to see what was coming. And you get to watch as a demonic super-entity proceeds to exterminate everything in the galaxy, leaving you for last. Even if other factions manage to defeat the End of the Cycle, you're stuck with a tremendous diplomacy malus for bringing it about, so they'll probably come after you next.

Represented by the Holy Grail in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. The grail could not leave its resting place and acted as a forbidden fruit that no-one was supposed to obtain. Dr. Elsa Schneider discovered this the hard way when she tried to take the grail out of the temple and triggered a Cataclysm Climax. She found herself suspended above a deep chasm with a choice to let Indiana pull her to safety or reach for the grail. Obsessed, she thought she could reach it, but fell to her death when her hand suddenly slipped out of its leather glove. Indy himself almost repeats the tragedy until his dad calls him Indiana rather than Junior, which is enough of a surprise to make Indy listen and climb out.

A seedy pimp in Transmetropolitan pointed out that he pimps retards and other "naughty" girls because it's what his clients want. "If it ain't kind of creepy and dirty and mysterious and forbidden, guys don't get off."

Robin from How I Met Your Mother suffers a horrible case of this. One time, she was informed by a doctor that she is allergic to lobster and compulsively eats an entire plate of lobster until she swelled up. In that same episode, she repeatedly kept trying to get Barney to sleep with her after he tells he is done going after her. She was also extremely jealous of Barney's new relationship with Patrice and took extreme measure to try to break them up. A previous episode had Robin heartbroken upon finding out that she can't have kids, despite how much she dislikes children. In short, Robin is always obsessed with getting whatever she can't have regardless of whether she even wanted it to begin with.

In an episode of Friends, Joey develops a crush on the new nanny Ross and Rachel hired for their daughter. He even lampshades the trope by name when Ross and Chandler disapprove thinking that his advances will scare her away. It turns out she was actually a lesbian.

This is very similar to the "Yuki-Onna" (snow witch) segment of the Japanese anthology ghost film Kwaidan. Only difference is, the Yuki-Onna spares her husband's life on account of their kids.

"Tatterhood": The title character forbids her family to watch while she fights witches and trolls; when her sister does, her head is turned to a calf's head. Not to mention Tatterhood's existence came about because her mother ate something she was forbidden to.

The Change Room: Eliza first heard about masturbation and other sexual activities from a pamphlet the Jehovah's Witnesses gave her as a pre-teen when her mother was taking her family to the Kingdom Hall. She was curious about these forbidden things, and soon learned more in the public library, with her masturbating soon after for the first time, aroused partly by the taboo of them. Her lover Shar also has it suggested by a friend that part of why Eliza attracts her is because she's married.

Arguably, any person who wants Sousuke from Full Metal Panic!. Which is a lot of people. Pretty much every one of them knows that it's near impossible for him to ever return their feelings. And although each one of them normally has another person who is in love with them, they can't seem to help but be drawn to the mysterious and unattainable Sousuke. It came as a huge shock to most characters that he started to have some reciprocating feelings towards Kaname — something even she didn't know or expect (as she herself even thought that having feelings for him is hopeless, but it's something she just can't help).
Especially noticeable with Gauron, who actually had two beautiful girls who were desperately in love with him, and whose existence revolved around him. Did he care? No. He just can't seem to forget that beautiful and emotionless boy he saw once upon a time, who currently hates him with a passion and loves to beat the shit out of him.

The Hobbit: Gandalf and Beorn warn Bilbo and the dwarves many times to stay on the path in Mirkwood, emphasizing that it's the only safe place there. Or rather, safest. Near the end of the long and frightening trip through, exhausted and low on supplies, they spot the wood elves' feasting off the path, and despite Thorin clearly remembering the warning, they decide to approach and beg for food. Unfortunately, true to Gandalf's warning, they get lost, are quickly ambushed by the Spiders, and even after escaping, the wood elves take them prisoner. (Not that being captured was a bad thing at this time.)

The kids of Salute Your Shorts get back at a spoiled brat who's made their lives miserable by telling her she's now free to "trash whatever you want to trash, destroy whatever you want to destroy..." except press "that little red button over there," which promptly sets off a well-organized Booby Trapped room that leaves her covered in egg yolks, spaghetti sauce, and feathers. Not only that, she sets it off just in time for Ug to step in and allow all the other campers to immediately pin her for all the messes earlier. Given her condition, Ug considers it case closed and ices the cake by ordering her to clean up the mess with a toothbrush.
