Notice: the story this illustration came from originally appeared on a now-defunct website, but can be found (although without any illustrations) here. Oftentimes the only way to treat someone is to engage in some rather intimate activity. Some of these techniques are derived from actual methods, but often they're played up. You know why. Frequently done to a Plot-Induced Illness. Variants include the "mouth-to-mouth medicine dosing" or "medicine kiss", climbing into bed with the patient to keep them warm/cool them down (nakedness "for better skin contact" optional), various kinds of blood or power transfers through kissing/licking, a Magic Kiss with healing properties, and so forth. More explicit titles may have straight-up "healing through sex". To the other extreme, the things a character won't do because they resemble intimate acts, such as mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, can be taken to silly lengths; the superficial resemblance of resuscitation to kissing triggers all manner of modesty and embarrassment, ignoring the pushing and vomiting usually associated with the procedure. See Deus Sex Machina for the offensive magic variety, Sex Magic if there's magic being made by sexual intimacy, and The Power of Lust. See Undressing the Unconscious if removing an unconscious character clothes is necessary. See also Indirect Kiss. May result in Florence Nightingale Effect. Finger-Suck Healing and Intimate Psychotherapy are Sub Tropes of Intimate Healing. Compare Kiss of Life and Mate or Die. If intimate contact acts as a Power Limiter, see Cooldown Hug. |

An extremely creepy example in Yandere Chan: when the player character cuts his knee on a shattered calculator screen, Mia desperately insists that licking the wound clean is the only way to ensure it doesn't get infected. She settles with licking the blood off the calculator when you firmly turn down her offer. | |

According to William L. Shirer's The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich and other sources, a Nazi scientist named Sigmund Rascher actually experimented with such a method to find out how to treat Luftwaffe pilots downed into the icy polar waters. He induced hypothermia in concentration camp prisoners, then put them into bed with one or two naked women. He came to the conclusion that hot baths are more effective. It had something to do with Nazi admiration towards Vikings - old tales told how a Viking rescued from icy Nordic waters had to be quickly rewarmed to life, and in the wilderness they placed him as intimately as possible with one or two volunteer women from the party (the fattest of them) and covered them tightly in whatever blankets or furs available. | |

In Dungeons & Dragons: The third-party Book of Erotic Fantasy introduces a character class known as the "Sacred Prostitute", whose powers involve doing this to restore various stats. And a resurrection spell that requires you to kiss the target, appropriately entitled kiss of life. Sharess, a minor goddess in the Forgotten Realms setting, has lust, sex, and sensual fulfillment in her portfolio. Hence, her way to heal is to "lay on hands" on erogenous zones. |

In Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Snow White gets revived by the prince kissing her. The story goes different in the Brothers Grimm "Snow White", where the prince wants Snow White's coffin carried to the castle, but when the coffin bearers stumble, the piece of cursed apple stuck in Snow White's throat falls out. | |

Batman: This is how Talia al Ghul gives Batman some much-needed antidote after he succumbs to a scorpion sting while dueling her father, under the pretense of giving him one last smooch. Poison Ivy kisses Batman to poison him, but accidentally cures him because a second kiss from her lips acts as an antidote, and she already poisoned Bruce Wayne earlier that evening. She fails to put two and two together when he laughs at her and appears unaffected. |

In The Bible it is reported that as King David became old and feeble, his servants had a young virgin named Abishag the Shunammite brought to assist him by easing his pains, lying next to him as he slept, and helping him keep warm. Though like the Ghandi example below, the intimate proximity never gave way to sexual encounters. Elijah and Elisha also performed resuscitation miracles by lying down over the people they resuscitated. (1st Kings 17:22 and 2nd Kings 4:34) Not exclusively about this trope, but Ecclesiastes 4:11 says, "Further, when two lie together they are warm; but how can he who is alone get warm?" |

Nasuverse: Throughout the 'verse, sex is used to establish magical contracts for the purposes of mana replenishment. This is quite accurate to many real-life magical traditions. Fate/stay night uses this the most, as it involves Servants who use a lot of mana when fighting and will disappear if they don't recharge. The villains just kill people for power. In Tsukihime there's also the meido twins who have this as their super-power. They have the ability to restore life-force by swapping bodily fluids. Though this is taken to a bit of an extreme level. Also done in Ciel's route. In Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA, Chloe needs to constantly replenish her mana. She usually does it by kissing the heroine, though she's teased Illya about taking it further. |
