* ''WesternAnimation/ProducingParker'': in ''In Dee Club'', Dee decides to declare herself lesbian to get more audience and better ratings than her SitcomArchnemesis Victoria. HilarityEnsues.

* In the [[Franchise/SherlockHolmes Dr. Watson]] At War series by Robert Ryan, a German agent familiar with the signs used by homosexual community uses this to lure away a man for a tryst in order to KillAndReplace him. He's later shows a sexual interest in a German FemmeFataleSpy, but there's no further mention of any interest in men. A later novel has a [[EvilTwin villain impersonating an establishment figure]] who's a known homosexual, which also means copying his lifestyle. This is to throw Holmes and Watson off the scent, but he also finds it useful for the contacts it offers to help him carry out his schemes.

* ''Literature/GirlsDontHit'': Joss is a lesbian, though she has had sex with men for different reasons which serve her goals.

* ''Myth/NorseMythology'': Loki once cheated a Frost Giant in disguise by shapeshifting into a mare so the Giant's stallion would be DistractedByTheSexy. This eventually resulted in the birth of Odin's eight-legged steed, Sleipnir. How embarrassed Loki is over this incident varies wildly from interpretation to interpretation (sometimes he proudly wears the "Horse-Mother" moniker, other times simply referring to it is a sure way to draw his wrath).

If the character's orientation really does encompass all genders, that's AnythingThatMoves (and if it encompasses all ''species'', ExtremeOmnisexual).

* ''Fanfic/ValesUnderground'': Yang is a [[TheOldestProfession sex worker]] who is completely and shamelessly straight. Almost all of her clients are men, but she is willing to sleep with women if they have the money to pay.

* In ''Film/RedSparrow'', the Sparrows are taught to seduce their targets regardless of their own preferences.

* Contractors from ''Anime/DarkerThanBlack'', due to their nature as TheSpock, are generally presented as aromantic. This doesn't stop them from engaging in HoneyTrap shenanigans as part of their infiltration work, with first-episode character Louis having become a male GorgeousGaijin in order to entrap a woman scientist. In particular, Brita and Hazuki are Contractors whose [[PowerAtAPrice Remunerations]] require them to have intimate contact with someone after using their powers, and as such have to kiss anyone (Brita, who also worked as a HoneyTrap for an American official) or kiss or have sex with a man (Hazuki, which annoys her because she's very much a lesbian even as a Contractor) to stay effective at their jobs.

* In Series/MrRobot, one of Tyrell Wellick's [[EstablishingCharacterMoment first scenes]] is of him seducing and having gay sex with one of his superiors at E Corp, establishing him as someone who is willing to do anything to move up the corporate ladder. Later on, after becoming CTO, he fires two of his employees for [[IResembleThatRemark joking about rumors that people within the company are going gay to get promoted.]]

* ''Film/TheFourthProtocol''. A man walks into a public toilet just as Petrofsky is receiving a package from a KGB courier. He gets uncomfortable with [[YouKnowTooMuch how these two men are staring at him]] and beats a hasty retreat, only for Petrofsky to follow and coax him into his car for a homosexual tryst, then murder him. Petrofsky himself is shown sleeping with a woman purely for sexual reasons, so the implication is that he's just adopting the role required.

* ''Film/KingsmanTheSecretService'' includes a scene where the Kingsman candidates are being trained in how to seduce a target, in this case a female club patron, and one of the candidates is another woman named Roxy.

* ''Film/TheMechanic2011''. For his first assignment as a hitman, Arthur Bishop gives Steve [=McKenna=] the job of seducing and poisoning a ManlyGay hitman. Both characters are shown with women as sexual partners, but if Steve has any homophobic hang-ups over this method of getting close to his target, he keeps it to himself.

* Kirk Lazarus in ''Film/TropicThunder'' is a [[MethodActing method actor]] who takes his work ''very'' seriously, completely committing to any and all of his roles. One of his roles was as a gay monk in an Oscar-bait period drama, and given his comment that in Hollywood "everyone's gay once in a while" it seems obvious that he's willing to engage in bisexual behavior to advance his own career in cinema.

* Both the [[Literature/TheDayOfTheJackal book]] and [[Film/TheDayOfTheJackal first film adaptation]] of ''The Day Of The Jackal'' has the titular ProfessionalKiller seducing both men and women in order to obtain places to hide temporarily (and then kills them later when something happens that [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness makes them too]] [[HeKnowsTooMuch dangerous to keep alive (knowing about him, usually)]]. Like many other things about the Jackal, it is never said whether or not he is an actual DepravedBisexual or just ''that'' good at pretending he is.
* ''Literature/{{Friday}}'' is an ArtificialHuman who was raised to have no sexual hang-ups (early in the story her reaction to being gang-raped is exasperation that her captors would think that would affect her). She now works as a spy for a private agency and has no compunctions against sleeping with both males and females if needed to further her goals.
* Done, is a less voluntary fashion, by Finnick Odair of ''Literature/TheHungerGames'', [[spoiler: pimped by Snow to rich Capitolites]]. Given no mention of the gender of these patrons, we can assume they were of both genders.

* By Vorrutyer from the ''Literature/VorkosiganSaga'' is a well-known libertine, who doesn't let details like gender interfere with his affairs. This turns out to be part of his job as part of Barrayaran Imperial Security.

* In ''Series/AgentCarter'', the female Leviathan assassin [[spoiler:A.K.A. Dottie Underwood]] (forcefully) makes out with Peggy while wearing DruggedLipstick in order to neutralize her and let her get caught by the SSR agents.
* Deconstructed in ''Series/TheAmericans'', where Phillip Jennings was trained to seduce almost anybody, regardless of gender, and he's pretty good at it. The downside is, it's very hard for him to be truly intimate with anyone even if he wants to be. At one point, he admits to his wife that he's sometimes used his training on her to keep their marriage together.
* In a long sketch on ''Series/TheBennyHillShow'' Benny is a courier with a vital message sent from the king to Edinburgh. Along the way, he has changed into women's clothes to sneak through. He comes across some guards and acts coquettishly towards them one by one, so they'll come over to him and he can knock them unconscious. The third one sees "her" calling him over and dismisses her. Benny thinks for a moment, then disappears BehindTheBlack and reappears dressed as himself and does the same thing again, at which point the guard comes over.

* ''VisualNovel/ChoicesStoriesYouPlay'':
** In ''VisualNovel/BladesOfLightAndShadow'', you can flirt with male and female characters to achieve your goals... [[spoiler:monsters]] can also be targets.

* ''Manga/AyakashiTriangle'': Shadow Mei doesn't show any sexual desires, but is fully willing to be seen naked by Soga (male) and forcibly kiss Matsuri ([[GenderBender currently female]]) to advance her goals.

* For the first few years of ''WebComic/SkinHorse'', Tip would often seduce women to help the team. Then when they met [[spoiler:Artie]], a gay man who had information they needed, Tip offered to seduce him too, much to the surprise of Sweetheart. Since then Tip has shown no problem seducing or sleeping with both genders.

* Loki of ''Myth/NorseMythology'' can take this UpToEleven. He once cheated a Frost Giant in disguise by shapeshifting into a mare so the Giant's stallion would be DistractedByTheSexy. This eventually resulted in the birth of Odin's eight-legged steed, Sleipnir. How embarrassed Loki is over this incident varies wildly from interpretation to interpretation (sometimes he proudly wears the "Horse-Mother" moniker, other times simply referring to it is a sure way to draw his wrath).

* In ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'', Griffith spends a night with an elderly noble named Gennon, who is a notorious homosexual and pederast, in order to receive financial compensation to fund Griffith's army. This event demonstrates Griffith's willingness to do anything to accomplish his goals. Later, Griffith seduces Princess Charlotte, and it's implied that his motivation is based on a genuine attraction in addition to using the princess's status to further his own aims.

* By Vorrutyer from ''Literature/TheVorkosiganSaga'' is a well-known libertine, who doesn't let details like gender interfere with his affairs. This turns out to be part of his job as part of Barrayaran Imperial Security.

-->'''Vivienne (narrating):''' I'm certain he's attractive to straight women, but to me, the nicest thing about Remy is his expensive leather shoes.

* ''Visualnovel/{{Lovestruck}}'':

* ''Visualnovel/Lovestruck'':

* In ''VisualNovel/QueenOfThieves'', Vivienne is a seductress and a lesbian. In her first meeting with her future teammate Remy, she's flirting with him for a con.

* In ''VisualNovel/SpeakeasyTonight'', Sofia is primarily interested in women ([[FlipFlopOfGod contradictory developer statements]] have her listed as both lesbian and bi) but she flirts with anyone who might help her gather information, and practically speaking that usually means men.

* ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}'s son ComicBook/{{Daken}}, who adopted the role of Wolverine in ''ComicBook/DarkAvengers'', uses sex to manipulate both men and women. WordOfGod says that [[VillainousAromanticAsexual sex is purely about control for Daken]].

* ''Fanfic/TheMakingsOfTeamCRME'': Cinder Fall is depicted as [[VillainousAromanticAsexual asexual]] in this series. In ''Fanfic/MyNameIsCinder'', she explicitly states she has no desire for love and doesn't show any sexual interest even when she tries to get into it. In ''Fanfic/{{CRME}}'', however, she is shown to have no issue with seducing or having sex with others [[TheVamp to manipulate them]], regardless of gender. She regularly has sex with Emerald to keep her wrapped around her finger, and later has sex with [[spoiler: Roman to keep him from complaining about working with the White Fang]].
