A villain has the hero in his clutches. The only person pleading for the hero is his wife/girlfriend. So the villain says, "I'll release him only if you have sex with me." And now the heroine has to choose whether her love for her husband's well-being overrides her sexual loyalty. Typically, she (or sometimes even he) will agree to the ultimatum, but before the two of them do the deed, a Third Option will present itself, and the sacrifice won't be needed after all. Except if it is used as a premise for an erotic story, commonly the Netorare kind. The G-rated version of this is "if you marry me" instead of "if you sleep with me", although the one tends to imply the other. And if you think about it, this is actually even more sinister, as marriage is somewhat more permanent than a one-night stand. Needless to say its a very Moral Event Horizon-worthy act. When the wife/sweetheart/sister/daughter/etc. makes the offer, see Please, I Will Do Anything!. If the man is a complete Jerkass, or he's too traumatized, he may shun the wife or girlfriend afterwards, believing her Defiled Forever whatever her intentions. Although treated as rape in most jurisdictions (due to it being essentially a form of Sexual Extortion), it is frequently treated as less serious than this in film. See also Sexual Extortion, Casting Couch, Questionable Consent, I Have You Now, My Pretty and I Have Your Wife. Contrast Lysistrata Gambit, a threat to withhold sex until some demand is met. And yes, the trope name does sounds like a Robert Ludlum title. |

This happens in the remake of The Getaway with Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger, who play a couple (literal 'couple') of cat-burglars. The guy had been stuck in a Mexican jail (NOT nice) for a while, and suddenly got released. However, now a crooked cop wants him to pull One Last Job, and the plot starts rolling... anyway, towards the end, the cop betrays them (of course) and in the process reveals that the female half of the couple actually slept with him in order to get her hubby out of prison. He's not happy, but it does work out in the end... which makes it a rare example where it actually went through — albeit 'offscreen.' | |

Prince Raji does this to Shirayuki in Akagami no Shirayukihime by forcing her to agree to become his concubine in return for the antidote to a poison he had tried to poison her with that someone who had been helping her as she fled him ended up consuming instead. Notably he somehow seems to be unaware that he is doing this since he can't imagine she wouldn't jump at the opportunity to become his sex toy even though she had just fled the country to avoid him. | |

In 2004, Kane offered to stop his torment of Matt Hardy if Hardy's girlfriend (both on and off-screen) Lita would sleep with him. This led to a terrible "pregnancy" angle, Lita's heel turn after it was revealed that she had cheated on Hardy in Real Life with Adam "Edge" Copeland, after five years of the fans loving her, and her retirement in 2006. | |

Completely turned on its head in an episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, in which a flight attendant is accused of murdering a judge. The detectives learn that her abusive husband is in prison, the judge is part of the parole board, and the wife had been having sex of this kind with him for a long time. The twist comes when they ask the wife why on earth she was trying to get the judge to let her abuser out of jail, and she reveals that she was sleeping with him so that he would keep her husband IN jail and killed him when, after she'd done what he wanted, he called the parole board and told them to let the husband go anyway. | |

X-Men: Kitty promised to stay with Caliban forever in exchange for helping her teammates, but he later released her from that vow after realizing she didn't love him. Happened to Angel when Callisto from the Morlocks group decided that she needed a future mate. The TV series used the same set-up but with Cyclops instead — and the bonus of having his girlfriend Jean hypnotised and used as a hostage. |

In The Sword of Doom, Ryunosuke Tsukue will only accept Hama's request throw a match with her husband Bunnojo Utsugi(whose family will face ruin if he loses) if she sleeps with him. She reluctantly accepts, but then Bunnojo finds out about her attempt to rig the match, divorces her, and swears to kill Ryunosuke if it kills him. He doesn't succeed. | |

Indecent Proposal serves up a variation of this. After a married couple blow their life savings in Vegas, a wealthy businessman offers them a million dollars if the wife will spend one night with him. The couple make a mutual decision to accept his offer. The same basic setup is played for laughs in Honeymoon in Vegas (which actually came out a year earlier). And parodied in Kingpin, in which three guys are involved, one of whom is Amish, and another is Proposal co-star Woody Harrelson. It turns out to be All Just a Dream. Also parodied in The Stinger to an episode of Mad About You, in which an expy of the businessman character makes the same proposal to Jamie. Instead of angst and fear, though, she and Paul casually and quickly accept. |

In the Disney version of Beauty and the Beast, Gaston threatens to have Belle's father Maurice committed into an asylum (which would be a Fate Worse than Death) unless Belle marries him. She uses her magic mirror to prove the existence of the Beast and clear her father's name. Unfortunately, this also gives Gaston the opportunity to rile the mob into a murderous frenzy at the sight of the Beast. | |

Angelo, the villain of Measure for Measure tries to extort sex from a condemned prisoner's sister, a nun in training. Isabella makes it quite clear that she doesn't intend to give in; besides, after she persuades Angelo's ex-fiancee Marianna to sex Angelo up pretending to be her, Angelo proceeds to order her brother's execution anyway, confirming her initial suspicion that she couldn't trust a man who would propose such a deal. She also was initially sure her brother would never want her to do such a thing and was understandably angry when he tried to persuade her to go ahead with it (like the sister in all previous versions of the story before Shakespeare got a hold of it). | |

She tries to kill herself, and it's not until her fiancé Raoul is dying in Erik's Drowning Pit that she vows to be Erik's "living wife" if he spares Raoul. Unusually, it's Erik himself who introduces the third option by deciding I Want My Beloved to Be Happy. However, in Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical and movie version, the phantom imposes the ultimatum himself. |

In Cape Fear, Max Cady confronts Bowden's wife Peggy on the houseboat and explains how he can legally get away with raping her by describing it as one of these if she reports it.note For the record, he is incorrect; it does still count as rape. Of course this was never his real intent. Propositioning the wife was just a diversion so he could rape the daughter. |

WWE even pulled a lesbian version of this: Dawn Marie agreed to break off her engagment to Torrie Wilson's father, Al, if Torrie met her in a hotel room, (hinting that Torrie was Dawn Marie's intended target all along). Torrie agreed. (At the Armageddon 2002 PPV, Torrie met Dawn in a hotel room and Dawn stripped herself and Torrie down to bras and panties and they kissed a bit. As if the differences between the brunette Heel Dawn and the blonde Face Torrie weren't obvious enough, when Torrie showed up and opened the door, Dawn was lit in such a way as to make her appear genuinely evil, as if she was going to take away Torrie's soul.) Dawn Marie "married" Al, anyway.In a kind of "to hell with this" decision, they later had Dawn "kill" Al via sex. Not only was this inducted into WrestleCrap, it "won" the "Gooker of the Year" Award for the worst thing in wrestling that year.. | |

Rather weird subversion happens in Dragon Age: Origins if the player character is female and romancing Alistair. Without going into too much detail, the Warden or Alistair will die automatically if either kills the last boss. And they are the only ones who can do it (in fact, it's part of the reason only they can). One of your party, Morrigan, offers you a way out: a ritual that happens to involve a Grey Warden getting Morrigan pregnant, something that the player character obviously can't if female. Which leaves Alistair (or Loghain, who's an Optional Party Member) who happens to hate Morrigan. And it's up to the Warden to convince her boyfriend to impregnate Morrigan. Although not exactly a villain, the sex bit is necessary to keep the death part from happening, and not something she demands as payment so much as offer it as an alternate solution. | |

In the 300 film version, a plot is added where Queen Gorgo is blackmailed into sleeping with The Mole in order to gain his support in convincing the Senate to send the army to reinforce Leonidas. The Mole brutalizes her, and accuses her of adultery in front of the Spartan Senate to turn them against Queen Gorgo. She gets the last laugh by stabbing him, while delivering a ruthless Ironic Echo of the words he said before he raped her. The knife also slits his purse, revealing the Persian gold he was paid to turn traitor, and rallying the Senate behind Leonidas. But, surprisingly, not in time to save him. | |

Ivanhoe features two examples of this — de Bracy threatening to kill Rowena's guardian and boyfriend if she doesn't marry him (and adjust that attitude), and Brian de Bois-Guilbert going from trying to rape Rebecca to letting her be executed for witchcraft unless she agrees to marry him after he saves her. Both men meet in the hallway at one point to lament over their utter failure with this trope. Women these days! They just won't cooperate like they're supposed to! | |

In Blind Date, after Walter (Bruce Willis) suffers a nervous breakdown due to a combination of the allergy his date Nadia (Kim Bassiger) has to alcohol and her jealous ex-boyfriend David stalking them (an Amoral Attorney and general Jerkass) Walter actually pulls a gun on David and tries to shoot him. After Walter is arrested for attempted murder, David offers to get him off if Nadia agrees to marry him. (This would almost be the G-rated version if he didn't make some very specific terms to go with that). He actually keeps his word, although not via the most legal means. (He shows up in court to defend Walter (a clear case of conflict of interests, as he is the victim of the crime) and promises the judge, who really doesn't like him either, that he'll retire in exchange for letting Walter off easy. Walter is able to get Nadia out of it later with a clever trick, however. | |

Nos. 21 and 24 from The Venture Bros. fantasize about this trope when they discuss striking out on their own as supervillains. No. 24 imagines what it would be like to fly into the bedroom of his arch-nemesis' girlfriend and announce "I'll spare his life, but only for you... sugar pants." "And dude, you will be having sex! SEX!" |

On Farscape: There is a variation where Aeryn tells Crais he can have anything he wants if he saves John from certain death. He immediately jumps to the obvious. Also averted in that, while Crais does eventually save John, he claims his living ship Talyn made the decision. Which he did not need to say, since as a ship Talyn could not communicate with anyone but Crais, and therefore Crais could have slept with Aeryn without anyone besides him (and Aeryn) being the wiser. Later he tried to begin a normal relationship with Aeryn. |

In the backstory of the Tide Lords novels, Arkady was given a choice of this type by the Duke of Lebec to save her father from prison. Unfortunately, while the Duke kept his word, Arkady's father died of natural causes before the release order reached the prison. Unusually, there was explicitly no sex involved in this example. The Duke was gay in a violently homophobic culture, so he needed a wife to act as The Beard. | |

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Kira uses the Orb of Time to travel back to the Cardassian occupation of Bajor to find that their regime was no stranger to forcing Bajoran women into "comfort wife" positions with the promise of their families being taken care of (or potentially harmed if they did a bad job or refused). Dukat even had a standard pick-up line for a new woman who took his fancy where he made himself out to be less bad than his lecherous officers. Kira's mother was also forced into this position, which Kira feels is a betrayal before later consoling herself with the thought that she had no real choice. | |

In Yu Gi Oh the Thousand Year Door, this sort of thing turned into a case of Nice Job Fixing It, Villain!. Five-hundred years ago, the original Shadow Spawn of Darkness, Damien, gave this ultimatum to at least one female citizen of Arcadia in the past. (Given who he was related too, he likely did it a lot.) She submitted to him, likely having little choice, but he talked in his sleep, and the victim learned about the Spell of Despair that way, and had the courage to tell someone who told Artorigus. If not for Damien's horrid act, the most vital part of the Shadow Queen's plan would have been kept secret and she likely would have been victorious.) | |

A female prisoner offers to sleep with him in exchange for setting her brother free. Unfortunately, she lied. It wasn't her brother, it was her HUSBAND. He murders Dante's father and Beatrice in revenge... after killing Dante. |

Gender-flipped in "The Golden Queen", where Queen Hadea agrees to save Jedda's life - if the Phantom agrees to become her consort. |

Star Trek: Star Trek: The Next Generation: In the episode "First Contact" (4x15), Riker is being held prisoner in an alien hospital. He was sent to the planet surgically altered to look like the native species, but they're getting close to discovering that he's not one of them. One of the female orderlies at the hospital offers to help him escape, but only if he'd sleep with her, as she's never slept with an alien before. It's never shown on screen whether he agrees to sleep with her, but she eventually helps him escape, leaving the audience to presume. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Kira uses the Orb of Time to travel back to the Cardassian occupation of Bajor to find that their regime was no stranger to forcing Bajoran women into "comfort wife" positions with the promise of their families being taken care of (or potentially harmed if they did a bad job or refused).

Celes manages to cheat her way out of the agreement and gets the airship anyway.

We're the Millers: The corrupt Mexican cop is looking for a "favor" in exchange for letting the RV full of marijuana pass. David starts to pressure Rose, but no, the cop doesn't roll that way. Part of that has to do with how people view strippers. David figures that, since Rose has no problems with showing her naked body to a bunch of random guys, she would have no problems sleeping with them as well. In fact, this is the reason why Rose is on this trip in the first place, as her boss has demanded that all strippers in his "establishment" have sex with their clients, and she quit on the spot. | |

In A Series of Unfortunate Events, Violet is being forced to marry Olaf (in a play so no one will object to her being so young) because he has her sister Sunny and will kill her if she doesn't. Although Olaf is specifically marrying her for the money and doesn't seem to have sex in mind primarily, there are still several disturbing innuendos: Olaf utters the quite Squicky line after being foiled, "You may not be my wife, but you are still my daughter, and —"; he decides that he'll let her live even after he has the fortune and makes quite a few comments on how pretty she is; he rubs a knife against her THIGH under the table in the next book; and don't forget the lines, "Violet imagined sleeping beside Count Olaf, and waking up each morning to look at this terrible man," and Olaf saying, "Now if you'll excuse us, me and my bride will be off to have our wedding night...." Now that's just... wrong. Handler must have known what that would imply to his older readers. | |

Roman Emperor Commodus in Gladiator performs one of these against his own sister Lucilla near the end. He tries to come on to her earlier in the film, but when she is exposed for conspiring against him with his political enemies Maximus and Senator Gracchus, he decides to give her a "merciful" fate. She has to become his consort, and Commodus takes away her son and threatens to kill the boy if she refuses or takes her own life to spite him. His demand even includes Lucilla having to carry his child so he can establish an eternal dynasty of "pure-blooded" Emperors. | |

In the steampunk/urban faerie novel The Iron Dragon's Daughter, the protagonist goes to see a she-ogre and witch to learn about sex magic and discovers she has shrunk her ogre husband down into a grotesque homunculus that she keeps in a jar, in a situation that ultimately began because of this. She bribed two police officers who were tracking him down for a crime (she comments it might have been eating someone's dog, but doesn't remember) with her body, figuring that, in their usual crude fashion, he'd roar with laughter about it once they left and would be watching and playing with himself all the while she was coupling with the police. His disgusted reaction was the first step that saw him dwindle into the horrible little thing she now keeps in her jar. | |

In Ooku: The Inner Chambers, the young noble born (and exceedingly comely) Abbot Arikoto is summoned to Edo, granted the use of a guest house by a member of Shogun Iemitsu's staff, and provided with several concubines for entertainment in the hope of catching him violating his priestly vows and forcing him to become the Shogun's bedtoy. When it becomes clear that he plans nothing more than chaste parlor games Kasuga steps the pressure up by having her muscle start killing Arikoto's traveling companions and the prostitutes before his eyes until he caves. | |

Saturday Night Live: Parodied in the sketch "The Hangman." The condemned man's wife is a little too eager to screw the Hangman, but he wants the man's grandmother. Another SNL sketch (spoofing Indecent Proposal, above) has Bill Clinton withholding aid for Russia unless he gets a night with Yeltsin's wife. The deal went through, but Congress reduced the package from billions of dollars to $50. |

Played with but implied. If chapter 4 of Gensokyo 20XXII is to be believed, it is implied that, if she had to, Yukari would perform this as an effort of extracting information from the warden to help the others, as she is the warden's favorite and the warden is infatuated with her. Later on, it becomes apparent that she is likely doing so to ensure none of those close to her are executed and has far worse done to them. It's implied that she did go through with it, not that she was given a choice anyway. | |

In Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, Elizabeth agrees to go with Sao Feng so that he will spare the crew of the Black Pearl. At this point in time, Sao Feng also happens to think she's the goddess Calypso and expects her to grant him her favor in exchange for freeing her from her human form. When asked what he will do if she chooses not to give her favor, he says that he will take her fury. In the first movie, Elizabeth volunteers herself for the And Now You Must Marry Me version of this, agreeing to Norrington's proposal in order for him to rescue Will for her as a "wedding gift." Norrington, though, is not as much of a Big Bad as he seemed at first, and releases Elizabeth from the agreement when he realizes that her heart truly lies with Will. |

In Casablanca, there's a scene with a young Bulgarian couple trying to buy passage to Lisbon from Captain Renault. He wants either an enormous sum of money or sex with wifey. In the end, Rick helps them raise the money by letting them win at roulette. In contrast to most examples of this trope, Captain Renault apparently always does keep his word, and is willing to take the money if they do happen to have it. |

In Mai-Otome, Tomoe does this to an imprisoned Shizuru by lying that Natsuki has also been captured and insinuating that she will help free both of them if Shizuru submits to her advances. However, Shizuru received a smuggled letter from Natsuki before going through with it, so she knew this was a lie and ended up using the event as an opportunity to steal Tomoe's key to her cell. Whether this was before or after the act was left ambiguous — we only see Tomoe passed out in the bed, dressed up as a baby, while an either topless or naked Shizuru is holding the key. | |

Battlestar Galactica (2003): In the beginning of Season 3, Ellen Tigh sleeps with a Cylon to get her husband out of jail. He's released, but it was only a test. Now that it's established she'd do anything for him, the real condition to release him is to have her agreeing to spying on him while he catches up with the rebels. But as soon as her husband believes his rebel friends that she must be spying on him, he kills her after saying he would rather still be tortured in prison that having her spying on him. So not only did she agree to be raped for nothing, it got her killed by the very man she agreed to be raped for in the first place. It gets even worse than that however. Ellen is later revealed to be Cavil's mother figure, and she created him in the image of her father. And we find out that Ellen and Tigh are both Cylons. Cavil knew all of this at the time. Can't be more Greek tragedy that that. | |

There's a version in I, Jedi where Corran Horn has a month to heal from a fight before Leona Tavira comes to sleep with him. She's the head of a pirate force called the Invids, and has his wife. He's in disguise as a newly-joined pilot who happens to be quite attractive, and who had bested her previous lover dramatically enough that she'd had him executed. If he disagreed, she would kill him. If he agreed, he'd be closer to her and able to find out about the organization and where Mirax was being kept. Initially he decides to go through with it — he'd do anything to save Mirax — but after some reflection he realizes that pride has something to do with it and takes a third option. | |

In the episode following their marriage in Lois & Clark, H.G. Wells prevents Lois and Clark from consummating the marriage because in one of their past lives, a past version of Tempus had a curse put on their souls, causing Lois to die following their marriage. They time travel back to where Clark (whose soul is human) is a character similar to Robin Hood (known as "The Fox")(Spanish: Zorro) and Lois is Lady Loisette. After The Fox is captured by Lord Tempus, Loisette agrees to marry Tempus and pledges "her honor" to be true to him in the marriage, provided he let the Fox escape. After returning to their time, where Lois is now set to marry contemporary Tempus, they have to travel back to the old West to correct the situation, since the curse would not be placed on them during that era of history. | |

And parodied in Kingpin, in which three guys are involved, one of whom is Amish, and another is Proposal co-star Woody Harrelson. It turns out to be All Just a Dream. | |

In Grand Theft Auto IV, Niko's first girlfriend, Michelle, is being threatened with prison by the UL Paper Company manager unless she maintains a relationship with Niko. For most players, this will include sexual encounters. | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: In the musical episode, the villain is a demon that can force anyone to sing and dance. He causes several impromptu performances, which cause the victims to dance faster and faster until they combust. During the inevitable major confrontation, he simply forces anyone who attacks him to dance away. When they realize kleptomaniac teenager Dawn must have stolen his summoning amulet, he threatens to force everyone in Sunnydale to dance until they burn, unless she returns with him to his dimension to "be his queen," as she consented to do by activating the amulet. However, Dawn told the truth when she said she didn't summon him. Xander thought a singing demon would be amusing. The demon looks Xander up and down and tells them to forget it. In season four, it was played for laughs between Spike and Harmony. |

In Hispania, Nerea discovers her fiancé Paulo is going to be crucified, so she goes to ask Praetor Galba and tells him Paulo is her brother, asking him to free him. Galba decides to take the chance to finally have sex with her — which he hasn't been able to do due to several circumstances — but before he gets her naked, Nerea blurts out that his wife Claudia and general Marco are conspiring to kill him. Paulo gets sent to the jail again. | |

In The Kite Runner, the Russian guard will let the truck carrying Afghan refugees into Pakistan only if he can have sex with one of the women. Baba, the main character's father, stands up for the couple. | |

Urusei Yatsura: Parodied twice: In an early story, Ataru was worried because Lum had apparently disappeared. Since Shutaro seemed smug on seeing him alone, Ataru began daydreaming with Shutaro blackmailing Lum in leaving Ataru for him, in exchange for landing Ataru in a first-rate college. Then Ataru yelled "And with that garbage you talked Lum into it, didn't you? Give back her now!" loudly to an angry and puzzled Shutaro genuinely had no idea of what Ataru was talking about. In another story, Tomobiki's principal got knocked out while several students were cleaning his office. Onsen Mark suspected of them and started to imagine possible motives to each one of them. Lum's alleged motive was the principal had threatened her with getting Ataru expelled out of school, unless she slept with him. Everyone — including Lum — said that story was stupid and ridiculous. |

The Family Guy episode "Peterotica" has a cutaway gag of Peter housing a "rat farm" in his basement. When the rat couple are unable to pay him rent due to lack of crops, Peter suggests they pay him another way, leering at Mrs. Rat. She begins to weep and unbutton her blouse. In the episode in which Death comes for Peter, Lois mistakenly assumes he wants to use this trope. |

Initially downplayed but later made even worse in Witchfinder General. Matthew Hopkins declares Sara's father to be a witch and starts torturing him, until she, and not Hopkins, comes up with the idea of offering him sex to let her father go. He agrees, but when his depraved minion Stearne rapes her first, he treats her as betraying him and has her father tortured and killed. | |

Star Trek: The Next Generation: In the episode "First Contact" (4x15), Riker is being held prisoner in an alien hospital. He was sent to the planet surgically altered to look like the native species, but they're getting close to discovering that he's not one of them. One of the female orderlies at the hospital offers to help him escape, but only if he'd sleep with her, as she's never slept with an alien before. It's never shown on screen whether he agrees to sleep with her, but she eventually helps him escape, leaving the audience to presume. | |
