->''"I have this 'Jules and Jim' fantasy, definitely -- you know, two men and a woman in love. And I remember reading in a magazine that the high you get from falling in love only lasts about four years. So with two men, you might be able to make it last eight."''

Just as often, though, there is a heavy DoubleStandard, and on both sides; straight men thinking GirlOnGirlIsHot tends to be dismissed as normal behavior, whereas the female enjoyment of Guy-on-Guy will be treated as a perversion (see YaoiFangirl). Or, [[TheUnfairSex in the other direction]], some women will proudly declare their fascination with gay guys doing it while denouncing men who eroticize lesbians as [[AllMenArePerverts exploitative perverts]].

In the West, we are raised to believe that GirlOnGirlIsHot, and the media typically shows this because MostWritersAreMale. No questions! But in the East, it is the SpearCounterpart Guy On Guy Is Hot that is the sexual stimulant. While not as strong in the West (despite the growing number of SlashFic) the way its SisterTrope is, it is the existing mentality in much of East and South East Asia. It's the reason for the BoysLoveGenre and the times when HomoeroticSubtext is played intentionally as a {{fetish}}. Some authors adhere to this or at least acknowledge its existence, and thus we get scenes of [[{{Fanservice}} naked and half-naked men]] [[MudWrestling wrestling]] in [[Webcomic/SkinHorse mud]], [[Webcomic/{{Shortpacked}} jello]], or oil.

* In ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/34346623 Hawkmoth Gets a Reference]]'', the heroes try to make a shipping-based akuma come and face them by hitting her {{Berserk Button}}s. Viperion attempts to do so by yelling "Adrichat", and is forced to instantly hit the ResetButton... Ladybug is out cold with a {{Nosebleed}}.

* Why do Music/PanicAtTheDisco have so many fans, you ask? 1% for the awesome music and 99% for the FauxYay[=/=]HoYay between all the hot guys. Music/MyChemicalRomance have a large female fanbase for the same reason.

* Music/TakeThatBand used to do lots of HoYay moments that extended to ''naked pics'' in their early days as well, but they stopped because they want a wider audience. Needless to say, [[{{Irony}} many of their female and gay male fans left]].
* Try any BoyBand ever, really. The pretty boys, the HoYay, it's definitely part of the appeal, even for the girls who also want the guys for themselves.

* A meta-example: ''Series/QueerAsFolk'' was a show about gay men and their relationships and sex lives. Its primary audience was meant to be gay/bi men and, to a lesser extent, lesbians. Yet it gained a huge fanbase among straight women.

* ''Webcomic/BlackHole'': In the "Bustin' Makes Me Feel Good" arc, Diana comes across a man possessed by a ghost that's making him come on to men despite the fact the man himself isn't actually gay. It's revealed that the ghost in question was an anime fangirl who died from "con plague" complications before she ever got to lose her virginity. She wanted to experience sex for the first time before moving on to the afterlife; this is the reason why she chose to posess a guy.

* In ''Film/ThePrincessDiaries2RoyalEngagement'' (which is a Creator/{{Disney}} movie aimed at pre-teen girls, just so we're clear), there is a scene where Mia and her best friend Lilly are looking at prospective princes. Mia remarks that one prince shown is cute, to which her bodyguard [[DeadpanSnarker Joseph]] replies, "His boyfriend thinks he's handsome also." Mia and Lilly's reaction is… enthusiastic.
-->'''Mia and Lilly''': [''punch the air''] Right on.

-->'''Rita''': Is there a girl you're seein'?\\
'''Bobby''': [[LiteralMinded Seein'? Uh, I see a lot of girls… I see I lot of guys too]].\\

* In ''Film/RunFatBoyRun'', Dennis and Gordon oversleep and have to race to the marathon in a cab, Dennis thrashing around trying to get dressed as they go. When they stop at a traffic light, they notice there's a woman looking into the cab at [[NotWhatItlooksLike Dennis in his pants straddling Gordon]]… and she seems to be enjoying the show.

-->'''Jordan''': We should have sex later.\\
'''Dr Cox''': ''[unnerved]'' How did you get from that image to that thought?

-->'''A.J. Roach''': It's a great spectacle. Especially guys running around in their speedos, wrestling and pressing up against each other. So it's a good sport to watch.\\
'''Edwina Barthowlmew''': [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything That sounds like the Greek Olympics]].

-->'''Vancome Lady''': And by the way, you two need to learn how to close your blinds alright, I'm tired of watching you two [[SexualEuphemism play bury the treasure]].

'''The King''': [[SarcasmMode The pornographers of the Kingdom weep at the news, no doubt]].

-->'''Sarah''': I ''really'' want to see them make out.\\
''[Tedd and Grace stare at her]''\\
'''Sarah''': …because it would make Justin happy. And stuff.

-->'''Sarah''': Sooooooo, your date with Luke last night! How'd it go? How'd it go?\\
'''Justin''': First, let me ask you something. Is part of your interest due to having a thing for male-male relationships, and being so eager to hear about them that you don't realize your own rudeness and insensitivity?\\
'''Sarah''': ''UH....''\\
'''Justin''': Because I ''love'' the attention and am eager to talk about all ''sorts'' of stuff with you.\\
'''Sarah''': Noted! Let's gab.

-->'''Sue''': The only thing better than making out with a hot guy is watching two hot guys make out!

--> '''Man''': If you wanted to fuck a guy, why'd you possess one?
--> '''Ghost Girl''': [[YaoiFangirl Yaoi is hot]].
--> '''Diana''': [[TakeThat I'm starting to get why you died a virgin, hun]].

-->'''Todd''': Why am I suddenly craving butter? …''man'' butter?\\
'''Critic''': ''[strokes butterstick, then slaps self]'' No! [[HaveIMentionedIAmHeteroSexualToday You like boobs!]] …and butter…

-->'''Host''': ''[pushing Derek on top of Jay]'' [[{{Fanservice}} You'll appeal to]] [[HoYay a demographic]] [[YaoiFangirls of millions!]]

* In the ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' episode "[[Recap/SouthParkS19E6TweekXCraig Tweek x Craig]]", P.C. Principal and Wendy host a student assembly that introduces the students to {{Yaoi|Genre}}. When the students are shown drawings of Craig and Tweek engaged in homoerotic activities (all of which, it should be noted, were real works of fan-art made by viewers of the show), all of the girls respond with "Awww."

* ''Series/StateOfPlay''. A homosexual member of the newsroom mentions he just slept with the man they've been investigating. When he asks if they want him to go into detail the men immediately say "No!" while the female journalists have exactly the opposite response.
* In an episode of ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' Sam explains to Dean that some of the fans of the in-show duo are into shipping them.
-->'''Dean''': Don't they know we're brothers?\\

'''Dean''': That's sick!

-->'''Grace''': Gay sex is so hot!

--->'''Jack''': We'll have a steak, watch a movie… you like gay porn, right?\\
'''Grace''': Who doesn't?

--->'''Karen''': I haven’t rooted this hard for a gay couple to get together on TV since Series/{{Frasier}} and Niles.\\
'''Will''': They were brothers.\\
'''Karen, sighing''': I know.

-->'''Strax:''' It ''could'' be sport…

* ''Series/{{Lucifer}}''. Lucifer and Pierce are UndercoverAsLovers. When Lucifer gives Pierce a ForcefulKiss to maintain their cover that they're gay, Chloe (who's working MissionControl) rushes over to the window to get a direct look.

** Also Harmony in "[[{{Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS5E14Crush}} Crush]]":

* Subverted on ''Series/MadTv'': The Vancome Lady tells her gay neighbors who are dressed like pirates while trick or treating with their kids:

* Erika from ''LightNovel/{{Durarara}}'' thought that [[HairTriggerTemper Shizuo]] and [[ManipulativeBastard Izaya]] [[BlatantLies made a]] wonderful couple. Her friends disapproved but, surprisingly, Shinra agreed with her (or at least thought it made sense in some way. [[NoJustNoReaction Celty forbade him from actually finishing that thought]]). [[FanPreferredCouple Not to say this is the general reaction to most fans about this pairing in general]]. It also doesn't help that Narita finds enjoyment in [[ShipTease teasing the ship]].

** In "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS7E22Chosen Chosen]]", Buffy gets annoyed with the mutual jealousy of her two vampire ex-boyfriends and suggests putting them in a room together then have them get naked and wrestle it out while she watches. When Spike says it's fine with him, her eyes widen with excitement and she adds, "There could be oil of some kind involved." Note that this trope is a view held by [[YaoiFangirl much of the show's fanbase]] as well.

-->'''Vancome Lady''': And by the way, you two need to learn how to close your blinds alright, I'm tired of watching you two [[IsThatWhatTheyreCallingItNow play bury the treasure]].

* In the third book in ''Literature/TheMillenniumTrilogy'', it's revealed that Erika and her husband have occasionally participated in threesomes with a male friend of theirs. Erika outright says that she can't decide which is sexier--to have two men pleasuring her simultaneously, or watching her husband with another man. Her greatest fantasy is to have on-again/off-again lover Blomkvist join her and her husband in the bedroom, and her greatest disappointment is that he is adamant that this will ''not'' happen, him having no bisexual inclination.

** Konohamaru's Sexy No Jutsu had two shadow clones transform into a nude Sasuke and Sai locked in a very suggestive pose. It got cut in the anime, but it's still in the manga. It even gave Sakura a nosebleed.

* For once played for drama in ''{{Manga/Ooku}}''. When Shogun Tsunayoshi is developing GodSaveUsFromTheQueen tendencies, she orders two of her male concubines to have sex for her entertainment, thinking they won't mind since she knows them to be lovers. They're so insulted at being used for voyeuristic thrills that they attempt to commit seppuku, giving her a salutary shock.

* In ''Film/ThePrincessDiaries 2'' (which is a Creator/{{Disney}} movie aimed at pre-teen girls, just so we're clear), there is a scene where Mia and her best friend Lilly are looking at prospective princes. Mia remarks that one prince shown is cute, to which her bodyguard [[DeadpanSnarker Joseph]] replies, "His boyfriend thinks he's handsome also." Mia and Lilly's reaction is… enthusiastic.

* In ''Webcomic/SkinHorse'', Tip and Konstantin [[http://www.webcomicsnation.com/shaenongarrity/skinhorse/series.php?view=archive&chapter=45896 mud-wrestling]] attracts quite an audience, including a [[JustForFun/KinseyScaleOfTropes Kinsey]]-[[UpToEleven Seven]][[note]]For those just joining us at home, the Kinsey Scale runs 0-6, with 0 being perfectly heterosexual and 6 being perfectly homosexual[[/note]] lesbian and a sapient swarm of bees.

* In ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/34346623 Hawkmoth Gets a Reference]]'', the heroes try to make a shipping-based akuma face them by hit her {{Berserk Button}}s. Viperion attempts to do so by yelling "Adrichat", and is forced to instantly hit the ResetButton... Ladybug is out cold with a {{Nosebleed}}.
