** In "Grampa vs. Sexual Inadequacy", we see a montage featuring hot dogs rolling down a conveyor belt, a rocket taking off, etc. {{Subverted|Trope}} when it cuts away to Bart and Lisa at the movie theatre watching a StockFootage marathon, and wondering why their parents have suddenly sent them to the cinema.
** And in yet another episode, "Sunday, Cruddy Sunday", when several promiscuous women come out of a petrol station to attend to the guy's car, his car bonnet pops open, as well as having one of the women shoving the nozzle of the petrol pump into the car's tank in a rather..."interesting" fashion. After all this however...[[spoiler:it turns out to be an ad for the '''''Catholic Church''''']], parodying Music/ZZTop's "Legs" music video.

* In ''Film/BruceAlmighty'' Bruce suddenly spurts ketchup over his breakfast when his girlfriend asks if he thinks her boobs are bigger than they were last night. ([[PowerPerversionPotential They are. Guess who used his divine powers to make them bigger?]])

* ''Series/KillingEve'' sports a RareFemaleExample in the first season, when Villanelle has just found out the name of [[InterplayOfSexAndViolence the MI6 agent after her]]. While fiddling absently with a champagne bottle (held between her legs, no less) she mutters “Eve Polastri” with relish-and pops the top, getting champagne all over the rug.

* The music video for Gunther's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbYtqAWDF2U "Ding Ding Dong"]] contains another champagne bottle example.
* In Music/TheOffspring's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEvozNlL8V0 Want You Bad]], this is made obvious with the use of cans of soda. They're shaken up by the entire party crowd until they burst, spraying white foam everywhere. In the end the entire party is knee deep in white foam, and the main guy, who has a girl doing some very soft core porn-ish things to him in a hallway, ends up literally exploding when she takes a can and shakes it up rapidly, her entire head becoming covered in the white foam.
* Hot Action Cop's ''[[http://vodpod.com/watch/1576011-hot-action-cop-fever-for-the-flava Fever for the Flava]]'' is made up almost ''entirely'' of these -- until they decide to stop being subtle about it. It really is rather staggering.

-->'''Nostalgia Critic:''' Okay, this movie just went up a notch! Or...at least...something went up a notch.

* The FunnyAnimal version of this trope happens in ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit''. Rogers’s ears stick straight up in arousal as Jessica passionately smothers him in RescueRomance by covering his face with SmoochOfVictory kisses and swooning over his “bravery”.

* Woo, from ''Anime/GunXSword'', in a scene when, for no good reason, he's seated naked in a throne, holding a collapsible rapier in one hand, [[OedipusComplex talking about his mother]]...and then the sword expands.

-->-- ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty''

* In ''Anime/Eyeshield21'' in episode 14, while holding a bag of ice and dreaming about getting a kiss from [[TeamMom Mamori]], Monta's ice melts.

A type of ParentalBonus, Something Else Also Rises is a [[StockVisualMetaphors visual shorthand euphemism]] for an orgasm, an erection, or ejaculation. One can't come right out and say it -- no pun intended -- so there's a visual placed into the scene as an intentional DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything This trope is a holdover from when it was still considered risque to show a man and a woman in the same bed (even if they were married). Filmmakers and animators found a way to [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar get around]] the MoralGuardians, and still use it to this day, but, thanks to a lot of movies, TV shows, books, etc. being more open to reference sex now than back in the days of strict censorship boards, expect to see this being parodied, used as a ComedyTrope, or in more kid- and family-friendly fare that doesn't want to openly reference sexual matters, but does want to [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar get crap past the radar]] to prove a point or for narrative reasons.

* There's a part in the first ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' movie, possibly unintentional, where Bella first sits next to Edward in class and the page in the middle of his open book sticks up.

* Done frequently in an early episode of ''LightNovel/{{Bakemonogatari}}'' with Koyomi's IdiotHair. In all fairness, it's pretty obvious Hitagi is doing it [[TheTease on purpose]].

** Another later episode has the guys trying to convince their wives nothing sordid happens in their local nudie bar "The Jiggly Room". Jefferson tries to hide he's there ''every day'' by wearing a great big "Abe Lincoln" beard. But when a stripper called [[GagBoobs Rocki Mountains]] shows up, welll...This trope.

* ''Series/DoomPatrol2019''. In "Penultimate Patrol", a mistake with Flex Mentallo's superpowers causes everyone in the area to have TheImmodestOrgasm. This includes [[GeniusLoci Danny the Street]], which bursts a fire hydrant and sprays a geyser of water into the air, and an inflatable tube man goes rigid and then limp after it's all over.

* In the ''Series/{{Torchwood}}'' episode "They Keep Killing Suzie", Ianto Jones raises his flashlight when his lover Jack approaches. It's also a pun, because in the UK a flashlight is called a torch, and he's holding it on level with his crotch (Torch "wood").

* In the ''Series/{{Firefly}}'' episode War Stories. When Inara and her female client kiss as she leaves the ship, Jayne is standing by with the sleaziest look on his face, while Book does bench presses in the background. Jayne's arousal is alluded to by Book grunting with the weights and raising his knees.

** In the mini spin-off ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZkWjkvaKpA Pond Life]]'', the Eleventh Doctor is propositioned by a naked Mata Hari while toasting a crumpet on the end of a long skewer. The joke writes itself.
** Also turns up in "The Crimson Horror", with the Doctor's sonic screwdriver rising as Jenny's DressHitsFloor.
** In "The Return of Doctor Mysterio", a young boy gains superpowers which give him some trouble on reaching puberty. When a girl he particularly fancies passes by, he unconsciously levitates into the air.
* In ''Series/TheXFiles'' episode "Dreamland II", one Morris Fletcher, a [[TheMenInBlack Man In Black]] who is [[BodySnatcher body-snatched]] with Mulder in a FreakyFridayFlip way, tries to seduce Scully who made him handcuff himself to a bed (but she's already figured out that he's not Mulder and made it clear that if he "babied" her, he'd be peeing through a catheter). He holds a bottle of champagne in his lap which pops open and overflows.

* Brazilian comedy show A Praça é Nossa had the character [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname nicknamed]] Lindeza, whose [[ExpressiveAccessory expressive tie]] would rise at the sight (or even mention) of attractive women.

* There's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGP3_cb-TK8 a commercial for Arby's.]] A man is in bed, and his girlfriend offscreen tells him she's only doing this for him because it's his birthday. He assures her he knows and is duly grateful. The [[MoodMotif bow-chicka-wow-wow music]] begins playing. The girlfriend enters, doing the SexyWalk. But she's dressed up as an Arby's employee, carrying him an Arby's sandwich meal to him on a tray. He breathes, "Wow." There's a sound effect BOI-OI-OING! as the Arby's tall hat logo appears over his head for the tagline: "I'm thinkin' Arby's." He gives a lecherous grin and says, "Meeeeeeee likey."

* Boa Hancock from ''Manga/OnePiece''. The first time we see her in action, she says, [[spoiler:"Your guilty hearts, entranced by my beauty...will turn your bodies stiff as rock...!!" As all the men are entranced by her, they turn into stone]].

* ''Manga/MidoriDays'': In chapter 33, Seiji awakens from the effect of sleeping pills[[note]]Ayase had given them to him by accident[[/note]] and finds Ayase straddling him. Just as she begins to ask if he's alright, she feels his erection prod her beneath her skirt, as a picture of a giant banana appears in the background. Ayase becomes [[LuminescentBlush flustered]] and [[ArmorPiercingSlap belts him]] before storming off.

* ''[[NotAlwaysRight/SisterSites Not Always Romantic]]'' has a guy buying a new dress for his girlfriend. When she tries it on, [[https://notalwaysright.com/re-dress-the-dress-situation/ his soda water suddenly fizzes and spills over]].

** In "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS6E7OnceMoreWithFeeling One More, With Feeling]]", the final verse of Tara's love song to Willow takes place in bed. At the very end, Tara is levitated into the air. All while singing some ''very'' suggestive lyrics. (With the last line at the [[{{Pun}} climax]] of the song being "you make me coooooooome[[spoiler:pleeeete]]!") The scene was described on Wiki/{{Wikipedia}} as "metaphoric oral sex".

->'''Rick Sanchez:''' ''(While his alien interrogator starts making noises as the flaps on his face twitch)'' Whoo, your little flappy-doodles are twitching. Does that mean you're aroused, or did you just get a signal that one of your buddies found a grape?
->'''Cornvelius Daniel:''' ''(non-chalantly)'' It's arousal.

* When Metal watches a porn tape in ''VisualNovel/{{Snatcher}}'', his portrait rises up almost to the top of the screen.

* ''VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair'' has [[https://danganronpa.fandom.com/wiki/File:Danganronpa_2_CG_-_Mikan_Tsumiki_and_Hajime_Hinata_in_bed_(1).png a moment]] where Hajime wakes up with [[HospitalHottie Mikan]] [[BedmateReveal sleeping]] on top of him. His [[IdiotHair ahoge]], normally bent, goes completely straight. [[https://danganronpa.fandom.com/wiki/File:Danganronpa_2_CG_-_Mikan_Tsumiki_and_Hajime_Hinata_in_bed_(2).png It happens again]] later in the chapter, only this time, Hajime's ahoge becomes lightning shaped.

[[folder:Web Comics]]
* [[http://megatokyo.com/strip/1222 This strip]] of ''Webcomic/MegaTokyo''. Although nothing actually happens until his conscience (yes, that's what the hamster is) sets things in motion. Take that away and he's more likely to be aroused by [[{{Nerdgasm}} the newest console]].
* ''Webcomic/{{Erfworld}}'' goes there too, when a guard sees [[TheBaroness Wanda Firebaugh]] in [[http://www.erfworld.com/book-1-archive/?px=%2F028.jpg her full "Torture Mistress" gear]].

* ''LetsPlay/TheRunawayGuys'': LetsPlay/{{Chuggaaconroy}} makes a crass joke about Candy Kong and DK's unusual pose while he's going through some limbo bars in the ''VideoGame/MarioParty'' mini-game "Limbo Dance". LetsPlay/NintendoCapriSun finds this hysterical, whereas LetsPlay/ProtonJon is more amazed at how dirty-minded Chuggaa can be.

* At least one ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' fancomic has toyed with this by having [[ILoveNuclearPower Utsuho]] freak out over her "[[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything Third Leg]]" control rod [[TheLoinsSleepTonight going limp]].

** While speaking of Brock, in an early episode, he falls in love with a Pokémon breeder.[[note]]1) What else is new? 2) [[YouKeepUsingThatWord No, breed doesn't mean what you'd think it would in the anime.]][[/note]] When she talks to him, he stands in attention, with his fists to his side. His whole body becomes a phallic metaphor.
