A character's assumed actual romantic preference or even sexual orientation is made moot because of the setting or limitation of the plot. This frequently occurs with characters stuck in a gender-biased population. (see: Bishoujo Series and Cast Full of Pretty Boys). Even if there's a theoretical pool of candidates off-screen, savvy writers know the audience likely doesn't care. This arises when writers apply standard romantic tropes to quirkier settings without major modification and without the explicit intent to make a plot point about it. Some writers are fully aware of the implication and the fandom it produces and might cater to both sides of the topic, making one character very enthusiastic about the idea, while one is humorously much more hesitant. A common by-product of this trope is the rejection of a newly introduced "common" romantic prospect, not because of a strong pre-existing fanship, but simply that they never reach the popularity of the existing cohort. Not to be confused with If It's You, It's Okay. For particularly cliched situations where this may occur, see Girls Behind Bars and Hello, Sailor!. In a much darker context, this is often associated with Prison Rape; in an isolated agrarian setting with Vulgar Humor, the targets of Situational Sexuality often walk on four legs. |

One storyline in the manga Gohou Drug involves the characters infiltrating an all-male boarding school, where almost all the guys are gay simply because there are no girls around. One student even explains this trope directly to the main character. | |

Different Seasons: Discussed at length in Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption. The author makes a very careful distinction between heterosexual men who "come to an arrangement" because they're horny and lonely, actual homosexuals, and "the Sisters", who are a band of depraved sadistic rapists who target men because they are the only available targets in prison. | |

If this isn't what Elvis Presley's "Jailhouse Rock" is about, then what the hell is it about? The writers (and by their account Elvis himself) knew this was a gay line and thought it would be funny to put it in and see what happened. They said they put in lots of stuff like that because they knew Elvis wouldn't have a problem with it. | |

The Simpsons: In one episode, the Sea Captain accepts being handed a handful of dirty magazines while saying that this will prevent his (all-male) crew from having sex with each other out of desperation (but they all look at him when he says this).

Toyed with in 1/0. Marcus, existing in a world consisting of only male characters, has no concept of women and tries to flirt with the guys instead. Tailsteak clarifies that Marcus isn't gay, "he's just settling for second best," then introduces a female character to clear things up for Marcus. (Said female character is gay, just to annoy the cast.) | |

In Ōoku: The Inner Chambers, the titular Inner Chambers of the female Shogun's palace are rife with male homosexual behavior; from late night "hazing" of newcomers to Bishōnen sleeping their way into better positions to rather ordinary romances and crushes. This is all the more surprising to newcomers to the Shogun's service because the gender ratio outside the Royal Harem is severely skewed in favor of women and the lack of men makes sperm worth its weight in gold, impossible to imagine wasting on coupling that will never produce a child. Meanwhile, many merchant and peasant women lust after male-impersonator kabuki actresses because men that attractive are completely out of their price range, and noblewomen often have lesbian romantic and sexual relationships because their arranged marriages are purely for conceiving female heirs. | |

Wonder Woman: The more juvenile writers, usually the ones who get a chance to briefly play with the character in another title, throw around hints that Themyscira has embraced this sort of mindset: some of the women are chaste, some of them just masturbate, and the rest pair up. The main series itself has straightforwardly confirmed it multiple times, though quietly. One throwaway basically said that Queen Hippolyta is in a relationship with General Phillipus, and Word of God confirmed it (as well as the fact that they intended to do a storyline in which they get married before the editorial axed it). In Wonder Woman (2006), Diana does some traditional courtship rituals with her boyfriend Nemesis; he asks how a society of only women has such things. In the Alternate Universe graphic novel Wonder Woman: Earth One, it's made explicit — in dialogue, and to a PG-13 level visually — that most or all of the Amazons are lesbians and that Diana has a girlfriend at the beginning. |

Alan Ford: In issue #627, "Minuette on trial", Minuette's cellmate Ursula mentions that she isn't actually lesbian (like, apparently, the rest of the inmates) but that since she has needs and the only alternative is a "quickie" with the male director of the prison, she had to adapt. Considering how enthralled she is by a naked Minuette to the point of kissing her on the lips, she may have lied on not being lesbian as she lied on her real identity as the dangerous banditess Dolores Sanchez. | |

Princess Evangile features an all girl school that is questioning whether to become gender integrated. The main heroine Rise talks about how girls often go full Onee-sama culture and start dating. However, she notes that they don't take it very seriously a lot of the time and tend to break up over really trivial concerns. She thinks this is a shame because a lot of the pairs she sees are actually highly compatible couples, but they don't last. | |

In Luke Cage, villains Shades and Comanche have a moment alone during a stakeout and it's revealed that they had a sexual relationship in prison. While for Shades, it was purely situational, it's heavily implied that Comanche is gay or bisexual and developed real romantic feelings for Shades. Later, Shades' girlfriend Mariah tells him that she knows all about his "little Brokeback fling" and that she doesn't care. | |

During the Prison Arc of My Name Is Earl, this is a major plot point. The leaders of two rival prison gangs were placed in "the hole" together, in an attempt to resolve the conflict. After they wore themselves out fighting, they started talking to one another and found they had a lot in common. Soon, this grew into a friendship...and shortly after that, it was a full-on romantic relationship. Unfortunately, they felt they couldn't be together because their gangs wouldn't approve...so they would purposely start fights in the prison yard just to get a few moments together. Earl has to figure out how to help them be together without the gang fights. | |

Vorkosigan Saga: The planet Athos in Ethan of Athos was originally founded as a "monastery planet" by a religious cult who believed that women were the cause of all male sin, and has since evolved into a society where most men pursue non-religious professions. Reproduction is accomplished via Uterine Replicator technology. However, their religious culture forbids even depictions of women and censors all Galactic media. Thus, most Athosian men will never even see a woman, nor have their ancestors going back generations. Homosexual relationships are therefore the norm, although some men, implied to be strongly heterosexual (and who are thought of on Athos as holding a very strict view of the Founding Fathers intent), remain celibate instead. | |

In A Brother's Price, men are very rare. A group of sisters will marry one man together, but premarital sex is had with women, exclusively, if the woman in question is a decent person, as it just wouldn't do to defile someone's precious brother. (There is also the option to go to a "crib" to get pregnant, but this carries the danger of STD and is avoided if at all possible.) While some women might actually be bisexual, it is implied that most would prefer men. There are female prostitutes for whom part of whose job is to pretend to be men; their customers know that they aren't, but some apparently like the illusion. | |

In Black Lagoon, Revy states that she had sex with women in prison, however, her love interest is a guy. Fans debate whether her interest in women extends outside of prison, since in context she was referencing being with women as a threat to make another woman her bitch for making a pass at said male love interest. | |

iZombie: Someone's sexuality and libido can be transferred to the zombie that eats their brains, meaning that Liv and other zombies can change sexuality based on whose brains their eat. Liv once started lusting after a womanizing Victim of the Week's female lover after consuming his brain, and Lowell lost interest in Liv during a short period, as well as showing a slight interest in Ravi, after consuming the brain of a gay scientist. | |

Morrigi in Sword of the Stars live their entire lives in a gender-separated society where the females live on planets and the males operate the starfleet, the two only rarely meeting for mating contracts.

Cuanta Vida: Discussed when Jordi and Jeremy consider the possibility of a relationship in their all-male*(The Pyros of Ambiguous Gender notwithstanding) combat environment. The latter's decided that If It's You, It's Okay but fears that the former would leave him once they get out, while the former isn't even sure where he stands orientation-wise. They decide to make a go of it and end up quite happy together. | |

The Goodies: Discussed in "The End", when the boys are sealed inside a block of concrete. This leads to a hilarious sequence where Tim wants to exercise his right to have children, but Bill is more interested in them being "doomed to be bachelors gay! - That's an idea, isn't it?", with his camp petting prompting a very hasty "Get Off!" from Tim. Also Bill suggesting with a coy look at Tim that "Hey, I don't mind shaving, you know. Underneath this lot I look a bit like Liza Minelli", with Tim's unimpressed reply of "I often wondered why you grew it!" causing Bill to hiss "You bitch!" | |

Orange Is the New Black plays around with this trope, being set in a women's prison: Protagonist Piper Chapman is definitely legitimately bisexual, and was involved with another woman in the past, but is engaged to a man at the time she goes to prison. In prison, however, she gets involved again with her old lover (also in prison). Another inmate, Lorna Morello, was also engaged to a man prior to her incarceration but got involved with fellow prisoner Nicky Nichols — until she breaks up with her out of guilt at being unfaithful. It was implied, however, that Morello is kidding herself that her engagement is still on, as her fiance has not visited or otherwise contacted her since her third week in prison (actually, later revealed that he wasn't her fiance but stalkee), and it's possible that her real reason for the break up is her issues over her sexuality; that is, that she's telling herself that she's not really bi. It is implied by one prisoner, Carrie "Big Boo" Black, that her former lover, Mercy, was not really gay, although whether that was true or was only an expression of jealousy over the fact that Mercy had left her for another prisoner, Tricia Miller, is debatable; Mercy quickly lost contact with Tricia following the former's release. Downplayed with Maritza and Flaca, who attempt a one-time drunken kiss on the Christmas episode. They quickly let the experiment go, resuming their mostly platonic Pseudo-Romantic Friendship. Discussed by the second season's Big Bad, Vee, who calls it "gay for stay" and warns her surrogate daughter Taystee that it's a stain on one's reputation in her mind. Daya lampshades the trope in Season 6 after getting involved with Daddy. |

The Wheel of Time These are euphemistically referred to as "pillow friends", especially among initiates in the White Tower, where girls are isolated from men (and the world altogether) and would have problems anyway due to their powers and extended lifespan. Treated as a very private matter and not looked down upon, most of these relationships dissolve upon completing the long training process, anyway, though not always. All of the all-female organizations have some mention of this. Complicated by the fact that "pillow friends" can refer to a platonic friendship, since sharing a bed isn't always sexual - it's just as often that one of the friends has been punished and wants to cry herself to sleep on a friend's shoulder. A comparably extremely brief allusion to a male equivalent in The Empire's military companies occurs in Knife of Dreams during Tuon's point-of-view. Enough to get the idea that it exists, but the author isn't as interested in writing about it. Early books suggest that these are the only kind of situations in which homosexuality naturally occurs, reflecting a prevailing idea of the author's generation, but later books include a few characters who seem to naturally swing this way, for whom the confinement is a convenience; however, all of this is deep subtext. |

Life (1999): There is evidence that both Jangle Leg and Biscuit are only together due to long prison terms and this trope. Jangle Leg is shown to be attracted to women (when they're around) and Biscuit can't bear to go home to his mom "like this", implying that he wasn't always gay (and flamboyant). | |

The Disney Princess one-shot Kindred revolves around the girls staying together in a cabin. It's apparently normal for princes and princesses to have gender-segregated vacations together in order to prepare to take up the throne when they're older. However, these retreats apparently cause romance between the people, even the married ones. | |

A Song of Ice and Fire: This is occasionally joked about in regard to the all-male, supposed-to-be-celibate Night's Watch. We don't see any instances of this actually being true with them, though. In practice, there's a convenient brothel in the nearest town that does a brisk trade. Possible case with Daenerys Targaryen, who becomes intimate with her handmaiden Irri. She wasn't exactly short on men at the time, but rather men who she trusted. There's a moment when Daenerys looks at Irri in the moonlight and it seems like she might actually like her... then she realizes no, she really wants Drogo or Daario, and that she probably shouldn't treat Irri as a Replacement Goldfish. Cersei ends up bedding (to some degree) one of her female friends (who is clearly genuinely sexually attracted to her) mostly as an experiment, but she finds no pleasure in the act. Partly, this is because she has Single-Target Sexuality for Jaime (she may sleep with other people, but she only ever enjoyed it with Jaime), and partly because her curiosity was less about sexual desire and more about what it would be like to "claim" someone less powerful than her the way she had been claimed by her husband during their miserable marriage. |

Saber Marionette J, where the world is all male because the only survivors of the spaceship crash were male, and since not-so-logically everyone is a clone from the DNA of those six, there aren't any women. If they can do cloning, why can't they do X-chromosome duplication? Never mind. Oddly enough Robot Girls in the series are mostly treated as impressive machines, but Hanagata is the only real obviously gay character. It is Shōnen, after all. The manga states outright that lack of women is the reason for most of the homosexual relationships on Terra 2. Meanwhile, a second planet of only women also exists that combines the nuclei of two women's egg cells for conception. The meeting of these two worlds is what kicks off the plot of the series. Despite coming from two single-gender worlds, the idea of heterosexuality is immediately and enthusiastically accepted by several main characters. | |

The Draka: The eponymous Master Race have no moral qualms with having sex with slaves, but it is very much more than a free woman's life is worth to wind up pregnant that way. Consequently, if straight Draka women fancy a bit of strange, it will have to be with a female slave; no-one thinks this at all shameful and a free woman is at liberty to have all the fun she likes with her own property. Men don't face the same problem. | |

The Arume in Blue Drop form a race that only consists of women, but they manage to produce offspring with the aid of technology. After conquering the earth they still appear to be mostly interested in the women though. Also happens with Earth's people in the manga, Tenshi no Bokura. The Arume keep the humans segregated by gender, so the girls grow up lesbian due to Arume... influence. Males resort to homosexuality out of necessity, although one of a pair often crossdresses. | |

With a setting that includes only two canonical male characters (and only one of them is even given a name!), this trope grows like kudzu in the Touhou Project fandom. That being said, ''Perfect Memento in Strict Sense'' illustrates (literally) that there are males in the human village. Whether or not any of the youkai girls would be interested (although the presence of Rinnosuke would indicate it's possible), the human characters should have their pick of straight options. However... | |

Game of Thrones: Joked about by Ygritte when she's a captive of Jon Snow and starts sexually teasing him. When Jon replies that the men of the Night's Watch have vowed to take no woman, she replies "Oh, so you lads just do it with each other, then?" During an expedition beyond the Wall, Gendry asks Tormund how he keeps warm in the frozen wasteland. Tormund remarks the secret is to keep moving ("walking's good, fighting is better, fucking is best"). Jon Snow notes that there's not a woman anywhere in sight, so Tormund just replies they'll have to "make do" while giving Gendry a leery look. |

Tom is (understandably) disturbed by Linda's plan and tries to talk her out of it, but Linda believes that Tom is just jealous that he didn't think of it first, saying that just because there are many prison rapes it doesn't mean that the prisoners are gay like him.

In God of War III because there aren't any men around (due to the bridge being destroyed), Aphrodite has her way with her slave maidens. Then Kratos arrives and she pushes them away so that she could invite Kratos to have sex with her. If accepted, the slavemaidens will watch and become so aroused by Kratos' sexual process that they will begin having sex with each other. After Kratos leaves, by the end, Aphrodite is once again sandwiched between her slavemaidens as Olympus crumbles. | |

Discussed in The Darkness. The titular Darkness is passed on father to son, and the father dies at the moment of conception. The Darkness's newest host Frankie, formerly The Casanova, is less than enthused to hear that he may never have sex again (condoms can fail, he can't get a vasectomy due to his Healing Factor, etc.). Wenders points out that he doesn't have to give up sex entirely; having sex with men would essentially be risk-free. Frankie refuses. | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Buffy, who is surrounded by fellow slayers (all women) and Xander, hooks up with fellow Slayer Satsu. It is shown as a result of Buffy feeling emotionally isolated (not to mention sexually-deprived), so she latches on to Satsu (who is genuinely in love with Buffy). This is similar to her relationship with Spike, where she also chose an unusual partner (a soulless corpse in that case) who was genuinely in love with her, in order to satisfy her (purely physical) needs (though at least Satsu she liked and respected, while she frequently professed outright disgust and rage at Spike during season six). Hilariously, it was Satsu who broke off the relationship with Buffy... and then spent an entire issue wangsting about Buffy rejecting her, despite this never having actually happened. Although each time they slept together, Buffy kept saying that it was a mistake that should never have happened and it was dangerous for her to get romantically involved with anyone. Buffy also realized that she was starting to have feelings for Xander, who had been a Hopeless Suitor to her in the past. Unfortunately, he was already dating her younger sister Dawn by that point. |

Maria Watches Over Us is a famous all-girls example. It takes place in an all-girls school and all the main characters have some level of Homoerotic Subtext with another girl (but only one is explicitly gay). Though it has a nearby all-boys school, that's mostly used as a plot device rather than any real threat to the shippers. | |

Oz, being an HBO show set in a men's prison, was just as chock full of this trope as you'd imagine. Possibly more. Usually, it's just pent-up sexual frustration, but in Tobias Beecher's case, he actually fell in love with his cellmate Chris Keller after Beecher's wife died of suicide. There were actually enough self-declared homosexuals and transexuals in the prison to form their own gang, but they were a very minor player. | |

The Masters place a tremendously high value on blood purity, so much so that their women are not allowed to leave their house, except when they get married off and are instead kept at their husband's house. As such, males often form very intense emotional and sexual relationships with each other. | |

Subverted in the Family Guy episode "Perfect Castaway". Peter is stranded on an island with Quagmire, Joe, and Cleveland. Noting that there are no women and men have needs, he says they need to have an orgy. Cut to a shot of them piled on top of each other... and no one is horny. | |

The Sopranos: The prison variant is discussed during one of Tony's therapy sessions with Dr. Melfi. Turns out you get a pass on that in the Sicilian mafia, but actively seeking out men outside of prison is crossing a line for them, even moreso if the wiseguy is "bottoming". The very homophobic Phil Leotardo, who did twenty fucking years in the can, very pointedly mentions that he always "jerked off in a tissue" whenever he wanted to be with a woman. The Suspiciously Specific Denial nature of this line, along with a Visual Pun where Phil literally emerges from a motel closet, has led some viewers to suspect that Phil had some sort of sexual encounter with a fellow inmate and is projecting his self-hatred onto Vito Spatafore. |

The Decadents in Sexmission don't really have a choice. Once the Pill wears off, their sexual drive returns and there aren't any men around to hook up with. Come to think of it, if they were aware of Max and Albert, they still wouldn't know what to do with them, since there haven't been any men around for generations. | |

Jyu-Oh-Sei: Women are very scarce on Chimera, and tend to live separately from men. As a result, a lot of otherwise straight men aren't against going for the next best thing (read: Thor). | |
