Mate or Die	comment	Thanks to inherent biological traits, some form of Applied Phlebotinum, etc, two characters are in a situation where they have to have sex in order to save their lives. Frequently used in Fan Fic, especially Slash Fic. A variety of Deus Sex Machina, with a bit of Intimate Healing thrown in. Compare with Aliens Made Them Do It. If saving the species is the reason then it might be an Adam and Eve Plot. If the characters merely "need" sexual satisfaction to improve their mood and disposition, it's an example of You Need to Get Laid — this trope is for situations in which they literally do need to have sex. The inverse of this is Sex Signals Death. Contrast Can't Have Sex, Ever. Also, not to be confused with the anime short series Meat Or Die. noreallife Examples

While she won't literally die if she doesn't have sex, it sure feels like it. In "Heat" she ultimately doesn't have sex and the situation is largely Played for Laughs; in "Meow" she bangs attractive delivery guy Rafer and the emotional aftermath of her hormones driving her to have a one-night stand with a stranger when her rational mind didn't really want to is treated a lot more seriously.

Unbeknownst to Stonewater, Melna's tribe holds to the tradition that claiming a wife requires immediate physical consummation. As Melna just witnessed both her parents die, she is emotionally hysterical and unable to give effective consent, so Stonewater is forced to rape her. This is shown to be a deeply traumatic experience for both of them.

Mate or Die / int_35e05f2a	comment	A Downplayed example in the RWBY fanfic Linked in Life and Love kicks off the plot, as Blake the cat Faunus starts to go into heat just as a lockdown of Beacon Academy is initiated and she finds she's out of the medication normally distributed to Faunus to help suppress it. While there's no suggestion that she'd actually die if she's not relieved, one hour into trying to get through it cold turkey and Blake's already sweating and trembling, nearly kissing Ruby without asking because Blake's having trouble staying lucid — and there's still nine more hours to go. Blake knows already that going solo won't stop the symptoms, and online research by the rest of Team RWBY indicates that Blake's symptoms will progress to a high fever and phantom pains if left unchecked.

Mate or Die / int_43576f5	comment	Extremely popular in Supernatural slash fic as a way to help Sam and Dean get over their But He's My Brother aversion to sexual activity. The canonical series has already established them as being so codependent that they're willing to sell their souls and go to hell for one another so writers figure what's a little sex amongst brothers if it'll save each other's lives? This is usually commenced by one or both brothers being exposed to sex pollen (makes them super horny and their brains will fry from fever if they don't act on it), sex magic (a witch or a curse that forces them to be sexual together), or some combination that literally creates a screw or die situation (name has been mellowed for the less spicy nature of TV Tropes). Also used for slash pairings that are less popular in the fandom and lack even subtextual support in canon, such as John and either of his sons, Castiel and Sam, Castiel and any other angel, since angels are technically all siblings or characters who are canonically enemies such as Sam/ Lucifer or Dean/ Ruby or canonically strangers such as John/ Ruby or John/ Castiel. It also crops up sometimes in Dean/Castiel fic, often as a way to force Dean "Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today?" Winchester to acknowledge his repressed attraction to Castiel, and Castiel being an angel with a biology potentially different from humans means that the Excuse Plot leading up to the "mate or die" scenario can get quite creative. An example of this is Our Sweet Rapture where Castiel uses up almost all of his grace trying to protect Sam from a de-aging spell which causes the part of his grace that he put into Dean's soul when he rescued him from Hell to instinctively try to reunite with its owner, an instinct that physically manifests as their bodies wanting to, ahem, unite with each other and will burn up Dean from the inside out if he doesn't, ahem, let it find release with Castiel every now and then.

The problem is there are zero females and they don't want to mix blood with humans, so when one of them does find a compatible person (who even turns out to have been born female, unbeknownst to him), it results in the poor guy getting nearly raped (and eaten in one case) by every other guy he encounters.

The crew find a female, but as her species is a Proud Warrior Race she's none too impressed by Cat until he proves himself in combat. Unfortunately the script proved too expensive to film, which means (ironically) that Red Dwarf's resident ladies man is the only member of the crew who never gets laid.

If she doesn't find a mate before her year-long fertility period ends, a female wang-liang will die, and similarly, if a male wang-liang doesn't find a mate ten years after reaching sexual maturity, he'll perish as well. Fortunately for the species, wang-liang births always result in mixed-sex twins or quadruplets, so they tend to have a steady gender ratio. But this reproductive quirk isn't doing the wang-liang any favors, so between that and competition from their infinitely more prolific human rivals, the giants consider themselves a Dying Race.

Mate or Die / int_6cb2d709	comment	Harry Potter fandom: The Snape/Lupin ship saw a great number of fanfics using this trope, where Snape and Lupin were imprisoned together right before a full moon. This would mean Snape's death as soon as Lupin took upon his werewolf form, but if Lupin considered Snape to be his "mate", the werewolf would spare them. Therefore... One particular fanfic featured a once-in-1000-years event where Hogwarts ghosts would compulsively kill anyone who was innocent (i.e. a virgin). Hermione didn't quite get out, so Snape had to go in to rescue her... yes, that way. It's also a particular favorite of Harry/Draco writers, who invented the Male Veela fic, where poor Draco had to bond (sexually, of course) with his Soul Mate, or perish. Naturally, his worst enemy was his destined Soul Mate. The fandom has an Epileptic Forest involving the sex lives of werewolves, with (mostly Slash Fic) writers coming up with new ways of justifying Lupin shagging anyone in the cast.

If the princess doesn't marry John, she can't be queen because he's the only male who can give her healthy children (a prerequisite for becoming queen); if she can't be queen, the crown goes to her brother; if he becomes King, he allies the Kingdom with the Scarran Empire, the Peacekeepers invade by way of retaliation and hundreds of billions of people die- likely including the princess. On the other hand, if John doesn't marry the princess, he gets turned over to Scorpius to be tortured and killed. They end up splitting the difference and using his genetics for her children but having her marry the guy she's actually in love with (and lying about who the father is).

Mate or Die / int_81692f99	comment	In Star Trek fandom, Vulcans go through something similar called "Pon Farr." The very origin of Slash Fics comes from corny situations where Spock had to mate with someone (Kirk) "or else." The various shows themselves found loopholes to get out of the implications. It was 'Mate or Die' originally, but turned into 'Mate, Fight or Die' to give the writers an out in the ST: Voyager episode 'Blood Fever'. The idea in TOS 'Amok Time' was that if anyone challenged a Vulcan's right to his wife while he was in the throes of the blood fever they'd literally have to kill him to stop him. Later writers missed the point (perhaps intentionally) that Spock was snapped out of Pon Farr by the shock of thinking he'd killed his friend. His line "It must have been the combat" was a cover for this (embarrassing) emotional reaction. It's also notable that originally, pon farr was something that only Vulcan males were subjected to. By the time of Star Trek: Enterprise and later Expanded Universe literature, pon farr became flanderized to where it affected all Vulcans. The fic Written in the Stars, a fic in which the Kirks of both timelines are women, deserves a mention as it puts a spin on Pon Farr. In this story, not even combat can relieve male Vulcans of Pon Farr, and if a male loses the right to mate with his betrothed, another woman would have to be found before the male died. In the original timeline, Fem!Kirk offered herself up as a mate for Spock in order to save him, which was how they were married (and how their daughter was conceived). The circumstances in the Alt Reality become a lot more complicated.

To test his new-found ability, he stops a random attractive woman on the street (Stephanie March) and tells her that unless they have sex "right now" that the world will come to an end. Never realizing that he might not be telling the truth, she agrees in an instant. "Do we have time to get a hotel room? Or should we just do it here?"

Mate or Die / int_96dab8fb	comment	The fic Written in the Stars, a fic in which the Kirks of both timelines are women, deserves a mention as it puts a spin on Pon Farr. In this story, not even combat can relieve male Vulcans of Pon Farr, and if a male loses the right to mate with his betrothed, another woman would have to be found before the male died. In the original timeline, Fem!Kirk offered herself up as a mate for Spock in order to save him, which was how they were married (and how their daughter was conceived). The circumstances in the Alt Reality become a lot more complicated.

Mate or Die / int_9a7088bc	comment	Star Trek: The Original Series: The episode "Amok Time" reveals that Spock must return to Vulcan and mate or he will die. All Vulcans go through a process known as Pon Farr every 7 years; it makes them increasingly agitated, violent and dangerous for anyone, especially unmarried women, to be around. (Despite what some believe, there's no indication that Vulcans only mate during pon farr, only that they must do so at that time. D.C. Fontana confirmed that Vulcans can and do feel desire and take mates at other times, which has been canonically shown in more recent installments like Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.) While Vulcans are betrothed at the age of seven to ensure they have a marriage partner for when Pon Farr finally strikes, Spock is in deep space when his occurs, meaning his condition is very advanced by the time they finally reach Vulcan. As Spock's intended wife doesn't want to marry him, she challenges the arrangement by demanding Kirk fight Spock on her behalf, expecting Kirk to be killed and Spock to spurn her in retaliation. Believing he's killed Kirk, Spock is snapped out of the Pon Farr and he does indeed free his intended wife from the arrangement. This episode is responsible for launching Slash Fic as a fanfic genre, and has made Kirk/Spock one of the most enduring and prolific fanfic pairings of all time.

Mate or Die / int_b9b796cf	comment	In the visual novel of Fate/stay night people can share their magical energy by having sex. This paves the way for Shirou and Saber having sex before confronting Berserker and Gilgamesh on two separate occasions, and Shirou having sex with Rin before fighting Archer in the UBW section of the novel. This also holds for the Heaven's Feel route, due to the fact that the worms in Sakura's body and the strain of maintaining Rider are burning up her prana like crazy, which makes her clamor for anything that can restore it. Largely meaning sex. It starts out embarrassing for her and Shirou, but they're in love, so they don't mind. Rather squickily, this is also the reason why Zouken had Shinji regularly rape Sakura and was implied to have done so himself—training her with Crest Worms massacred her prana supply.

While they don't die if they don't have sex, they become quite obsessed with it and it makes anything but trying to get laid very hard, justifying OOC behaviour and the like. The end results vary: In Why Didn't Ah Stay At The Farm, Big Macintosh makes the mistake of going into town during that time, while in Fun Bus to Manehattan the Mane 6 decides to counter the lack of eligible males in Ponville by just taking the bus to Manehattan for some quick sex tourism (NSFW, though the mood of the stories for each of the Mane 6 is actually quite different).

Since the Doctor's natural body temperature is too low to do Rose any good, he grudgingly resolves to do the one thing he can to raise his own temperature, in order to act as a thermal blanket for Rose afterwards. However, the writer has him angst about this decision for a while, because Rose is near catatonic with cold at this point and really too out of it to consent or get any pleasure out of the act. He even worries that her body has shut down too far to make sex physically possible. But then he finds that she's still wet enough that it won't hurt her, so it's all good. Except that the readers are left to ask themselves why the Doctor had to involve Rose's anatomy at all, if all he needed was to induce his own physical arousal...

What makes this example odd is that the Psyches are Expies of Vulcans and yet for the most part are raised to be asexual. Also in the story "Papa's Big Crush", where Papa Smurf is affected by the "pheromone cologne" mixed with other chemicals, causing him to be Hulked Out and to have an insatiable desire for Smurfette. Fortunately, Smurfette was spared the squicky fate by the Smurfs creating a life-size doll of her for Papa Smurf to expend his mating energy upon. And in "Grouchy And The Love Doll", his now-animate love doll Angel tells Grouchy that he must make love to her or else she will die.

And then there are Hisui and Kohaku's routes, as the two girls are "Synchronizers" and can boost the energy and healing of anyone they have sex with. Hisui's first time with Shiki, Lord of Bedroom Jackassery, is used to save him from energy drain and Kohaku's poisons. Kohaku does it to recharge Shiki in her route, as well, and Makihisa's rationale for raping her when she was a little girl was that if he didn't use her power, he'd go insane. Completely averted in another route: Akiha's, as she and Shiki have sex when she's barely got a grip left on her humanity. Shortly afterward, she becomes the Crimson Red Vermilion, which to Akiha is, for all intents and purposes, equal to death for her, as once a Tohno has lost to their inversion impulse they're no longer human.

To that end, he becomes a pickup artist, sleeping with women and leaving before they lapse into a coma. Needless to say, he gets very upset when he is just about to do it with yet another woman, and she suddenly changes her mind, as he doesn't have time to go look for another. Said woman was Mel, the titular alien tracker's human (mostly) partner. Her task was to act as bait, so that Cole could get a jump on the guy. Unfortunately, Cole was late, so Mel had to play the "changed my mind" card... and nearly got raped for her trouble.

(Whether that means she will kill herself or something else entirely is unknown.) When Jacob tells her that he's not in the place of God to decide whether or not she would have children, Rachel gives him her handmaid so that she could have children through an ancient form of surrogacy. Still not satisfied, Rachel has one of Leah's sons give her some of the mandrakes (believed to be an inducer of fertility) in exchange for Jacob sleeping with Leah and giving her more children. It's only when God finally decides to grant Rachel conception that she gives birth to her first son Joseph.

Mate or Die / int_f163bd9f	comment	ElfQuest has Recognition, a telepathic mating urge that forces elf couples with good genetic matches to mate and have children. Elves who try to resist become sick, though Word of God is that the elves won't actually die, since that defeats the point. They may feel like they're going to, though. It should be noted that (1) these elves are almost always overjoyed with the opportunity to have a child, and (2) there is no such thing as cheating in the ElfQuest world, and more often than not Recognized mates are instantly welcomed into their new family, forming bisexual three-way relationships. Only two cases of elves being unwilling to mate are at all relevant to the plot: the main characters Cutter and Leetah, who are both just being stubborn and end up Happily Married; and the young wolf-elf Dewshine with the old bird-elf Tyldak, because Tyldak was a villain at that point. (Ironically, Recognition allowed them to see each other's "true selves", which caused Dewshine to be somewhat attracted to Tyldak - seeing his original body, not his flesh-shaped one - and Tyldak to be absolutely repulsed by Dewshine - seeing her wolf heritage instead of her regular pretty elf face.) Also a case of Mother Nature Knows Best. The result of a Recognition-forced mating will always (1) successfully come to term as a healthy baby (unless an outside force prevents it), and (2) be a genetically superior child who has all of the parents' genetic advantages and few, or any, of their weaknesses. Often, the offspring will manifest entirely new abilities or powers, as well. E.g., if one of the parents is a genius who possesses extremely high psychic ability at the expense of physical frailty, while the other is a half-witted, psychically inept world-class bruiser, the resulting child is pretty much guaranteed to have similar psychic ability to that of the first parent (if not more), tremendous physical strength and endurance, and a genius IQ. The drawbacks will simply never manifest. Also, in the New Blood series, Dodia and Door were Recognized, but Door soon crossed the Moral Event Horizon as a villain, such that Dodia had to bash him over the head with a club to end his crimes. Whether or not she could've done this before they'd had sex is unclear.note Dodia is shown as having gone completely bonkers later on

In response, Ishtar throws a temper tantrum to convince her father, the sky-god Anu to sic the Bull of Heaven, embodiment of the gods' vengeance, on Gilgamesh's city, Uruk, to destroy everyone in it. Predictably, Gilgamesh and Enkiddu slew the Bull, and offered the beast's heart to the sun god Shamash. When Ishtar came to the walls of Uruk to curse Gilgamesh again, Enkiddu came to his friend's defense, and tore off the Bull's right thigh, throwing it at her face while threatening to do the same to her. As a result, Ishtar convinced the other gods to curse Enkiddu with a fatal illness, and thus, grant her some measure of revenge against Gilgamesh for spurning her.
