* In ''VideoGame/{{Grandia}}'', one boss is a giant angler-type fish with a lure that looks like an attractive female. The lure's only attack is Attract, which seductively draws Justin up towards it... then turns into a giant mouth and takes a bite out of him. The "distracted" part comes from the fact that this can cancel Justin's action if he's charging up a special attack or spell.

* In ''SoulCalibur 4'', you win either because you played with your eyes closed or you're already living a sexually satisfied life. ''If'' you win without these two, then you're probably a genderless robot or some other video-game-playing species entirely. Or happen to be disinterested in women while playing as Ivy. Or, y'know, both player characters are male. Though this trope doesn't always involve women being the distraction -- [[{{Squick}} Voldo is pretty damn hot.]]
