@Switch BlaydeI remember TGTGW&E, and it was an enjoyable movie I thought. There was also a sequel made called "The Girl, the Gold Watch & Dynamite", which was also a made for TV movie. Not as good, and with a different cast as by then Robert was "flying high" on his success from Airplane!, and Pam from Mork & Mindy.
And yes, it was a trope for a bit about 20 years ago on ASSTR. As well as in Japan, where there have been a lot of JAV made based on this very concept.
Kind of like all the Mind Control stories of that era, a way to "force" women to do what you wanted and have sex with any of them, without resorting to actual rape.
I think largely most authors have simply moved past such simple plot devices to introduce sex into their stories. But it does give me an idea I am going to have to explore.
