* When Katherine "Kate" Kane was just getting involved in crimefighting, before she first donned the ComicBook/{{Batwoman}} costume, she was eavesdropping on several criminals in a bar as they were discussing their upcoming operation. During the conversation one of the men questions the other, Jackson, on if he was paying attention or not. Jackson explains that he was "admiring the view" and is seen openly staring at Kate, then turns to the other man and dares him to say he was not having the exact same thoughts.

* In ''ComicBook/{{Championess}}'', James invites Elizabeth to stay in his room for the night. The offer is purely platonic, and nothing sexual ends up happening between the two... but Elizabeth is still thrown for a loop when James removes his shirt while undressing for bed. She tries to snap herself out of it by becoming extremely interested in the room's furniture and floorboards.
* Seen every so often in ''ComicBook/GoldDigger'' with characters of either gender. Gina Diggers herself isn't above being distracted by a nice piece of beefcake, for example.
* German comic ''ComicBook/LulaUndYankee'': Yankee and his buddies make a tour on a tractor through the countryside. Because this trope happens, they end up in a military area by accident. HilarityEnsues (well, kind of).
* Tara of ''ComicBook/QueenAndCountry'' sneaks through a military checkpoint despite carrying forged paperwork, driving a stolen car, and bleeding from a bullet wound by passing over a nude picture of herself with her ID. It backfires later when one of the guards identifies her specifically because the incident cemented her appearance in his mind.
* In "The Heroic Life and Mortifying Death of ComicBook/RadioactiveMan", when Plasmo the Mystic[[labelnote:more]]actually an Eczema imposter[[/labelnote]] has called the Superior Squadron to [[NumberOfTheBeast 665 1/2]] South Purgatory:

Creed doesn't take much seducing & they have sex for a few hours. After finishing, Creed asks if she wants to answer his questions now.
