[[folder:Fan Works]]
* ''FanFic/NobodyDies'': When Asuka first gets into her plugsuit as Unit-02's new pilot (it's a long story), Shinji walks by one the way to a test. Once he [[MaleGaze gets a good look]], a wall decides to say hi. Combining this with the multiple situations of DidIJustSayThatOutLoud, it's a wonder that Asuka hasn't gotten over her socialization issues.
* A male example occurs in ''[[Fanfic/{{Ptitle0028gzjm}} Kyon: Big Damn Hero]]'', with Kyon somehow stopping a fight between people he didn't even know were there by... getting out of the bath.
* In ''Fanfic/{{Forward}}'s'' "Charity" episode, this is used quite deliberately. [[spoiler:River is heavily -- and sexually -- distracted by Jayne because an Academy escapee is using her psychic powers to keep her focused on him so River doesn't recognize her.]]

-->'''Aunt May:''' Would you mind passing the butter, Peter?
-->'''Peter:''' No - not at all!
-->'''Aunt May:''' Then why don't you pass it, dear?
-->'''Peter:''' Pass what?

* In ''Fanfic/{{Forward}}'s'' "Charity" episode, this is used quite deliberately. [[spoiler: River is heavily - and sexually - distracted by Jayne because an Academy escapee is using her psychic powers to keep her focused on him so River doesn't recognize her.]]

* Subverted in ''{{Metal Gear Solid 3}}'', where in a cutscene, Snake launches into {{Description Porn}} upon being handed a custom-made 1911 pistol - completely disregarding the woman who gave it to him, who just moments ago stripped half-naked, expressly for his benefit.

* Attempted/parodied in the "{{Futurama}}" movie Into the Wild Green Yonder. When Bender is breaking the Feministas out of prison, they don't know how to get past the armed guards. Leela says that the one thing men can't resist is hookers, and tells two of her fellow Feministas "You know what to do". They proceed to put Bender in a skimpy outfit, a wig, and lots of makeup. He goes out where the guards can see him and says "Hello, boys!". The guards just start shooting at him.

* Youtube star Miss Hannah Minx, who makes videos about random things she finds or does, as well as teaches random Japanese words and their kanji. However, I'm sure people have watched all her videos and still don't know a damn word in Japanese. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIt_hedcBTc Here's]] probably the biggest example.

* Weezer's video for "If You're Wondering If I Want You To" has this happen to two people: one standing in the street watching said girl, and the other driving a pickup truck, which hits the one standing in the street.

* The ActionGirl in RobertAHeinlein's ''ThePuppetmasters'' uses this to detect those who've been possessed by the Alien Invaders. Those {{Not Distracted by the Sexy}} are assumed to be "hag-ridden", though as the President points out at one stage, it could also mean they're "[[UnusualEuphemism harem guards]]".

* Jayne Mansfield's character causes several accidents in a row in ''The Girl Can't Help It''.

* A male example occurs in ''[[KyonBigDamnHero Kyon: Big Damn Hero]]'', with Kyon somehow stopping a fight between people he didn't even know were there by... getting out of the bath.

For some men, it's very easy to forget what they are doing when a [[HelloNurse gorgeous woman]] strolls past and lose control, doing things like walking into walls, tripping over themselves, dropping fragile objects, etc.

Compare ShowSomeLeg and HelloBoys. Contrast, naturally, NotDistractedByTheSexy. If the viewers are the ones DistractedByTheSexy, that's EverybodyRemembersTheStripper.

* ''SomethingPositive'': Nancy's first appearance in the strip is as arm candy for Davan thanks to a plan cooked up by Jason to make his high-school classmates feel...inadequate. [[http://www.somethingpositive.net/sp10102004.shtml And boy does she ever]].

** It really helps that he rode the AT by [[BeyondTheImpossible HIS HEAD.]] Gorgon's tattoo are hypnotizing enemies [[DistractedByTheSexy looking at her]] SexyBack, making them numbs/ slow down. And by turning it upside down (Onigiri, [[NotDistractedByTheSexy I look at you]]) it [[FridgeBrilliance increases his speed]] to the point Onigiri activates [[LethalJokeCharacter funnily awesome]] [[SuperMode Smell Road]]

* [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] in ''FairyTail'' when Natsu realizes an enemy is on his way and gets [[MissFanservice Lucy]] to dress up in a revealing outfit and pose seductively in order to distract him.

* In ''{{Asterix}} the Legionary'', Obelix is distracted by the lovely Panacea walking by, and walks into a tree... [[SuperStrength knocking it over]].

**She is also a dumb blonde. I also remember one time when they put her in a heavy fur coat, and the guys are STILL going crazy, which prompts Josie to say, "I dunno. Maybe they have good memories?" AND She ignores it, in one, Melody chases off some boys to get "peace and quiet," while Josie and Valerie get depressed.
*{{Modesty Blaise}} would occasionally get the drop on the bad guys by stripping down to her BlackBraAndPanties prior to a fight.

* A male example occurs in [[KyonBigDamnHero Kyon: Big Damn Hero]], with Kyon somehow stopping a fight between people he didn't even know were there by... getting out of the bath.

* Spirit from ''SpiritStallionOfTheCimarron'' gets distracted by Rain, leading to his second capture.

* In the second NakedGun film, Frank fights an assassin who has come to kill Jane (who is in the shower). She hears the ruckus and pulls open the shower curtain to see what's up, whereupon both Frank and the Assassin stop in mid grapple to stare.

* The ActionGirl in RobertAHeinlein's ''ThePuppetmasters'' uses this to detect those who've been possessed by the Alien Invaders. Those NotDistractedByTheSexy are assumed to be "hag-ridden", though as the President points out at one stage, it could also mean they're "[[UnusualEuphemism harem guards]]".

* ''WhatILikeAboutYou'' has an interesting twist: anytime Gary Thorpe is topless (usually as part of his job), '''everybody''' is dumbstruck... except his best friend Holly Tyler, since they're TheStraightWillAndGrace.

* In ''{{Waking the Dead}}'' [[spoiler:a group of PrivateMilitaryContractors is discussing VIP protection when Stella Goodman walks into the room. As one of them is distracted by her (she is a FairCop), the guy leading the session mimes shooting him in the back of the head. Then directly comments on this sort of thing]].
