** [[Anime/ExcelSaga The anime]] plays a female-into-female variant in [[CrossesTheLineTwice the final episode]] - when Excel and Hyatt switch bodies, the first thing Excel does when she realises is lock herself in a bathroom stall and eagerly strip and check out [[GagBoobs Hyatt's breasts]].

** The anime has a filler episode where there's some FreakyFridayFlip going around at the guild. Gray and Lucy switch bodies, but Gray doesn't really care about "them"... except that [[GagBoobs he has a hard time standing at the start]]. He doesn't even show an interest about looking at her body, but as he still has his habit of stripping for nothing, Lucy has to constantly keep an eye on him. Not to mention Happy, in Erza's body, actually shows off that he's playing with her breasts, telling everybody about how great they are.

* Immediately after [[OurGhostsAreDifferent Ichiko]] realizes she's possessed [[WholesomeCrossdresser Mizuho]] in the ''VisualNovel/OtobokuMaidensAreFallingForMe'' manga... "''I have developed a sudden interest in the male body...''" They then discover [[TransformationOfThePossessed her possession had made Mizuho's body]] [[GenderBender female]].

* An unusual female-to-female one occurs in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates''. Soleil is a bisexual skirt chaser, and Ophelia gets fed up with it. Ophelia uses a [[FreakyFridayFlip body swap]] spell thinking that Soleil would find chasing herself to be really boring; Soleil loves it and wants to find [[IllBeInMyBunk a private place]] [[ShowingOffTheNewBody with a mirror]].

* In the episode "Witch Ay Woman" from ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyBravo'', the titular character [[GenderBender is turned into a woman]] [[GypsyCurse as punishment by a gypsy]]. He/she wakes up in the morning, flirts with the reflection in the mirror, looks underneath the pyjamas and bemoans "Aw man! I'm a chick!"

Females-turned-male will almost never do the equivalent with their new equipment. That's partly because it's [[ADateWithRosiePalms a lot more risque]], and partly because [[MostWritersAreMale male self-pleasuring isn't cool]]. Or maybe it's because AllWomenArePrudes and thus disgust is far more expected, while on the other hand males-turned-female will engage in this trope even if they are horrified by the transformation to show that AllMenArePerverts. The less prudish females may exploit their new ability to pee standing up, though, but that's still the most the risky and sexual thing they will usually do. There are also incredibly rare (SafeForWork) females-turned-female examples of this if said female was previously [[OvernightAgeUp too young]] or [[ACupAngst too flat]].

* In ''Manga/{{Jagaaaaaan}}'', Yadori starts [[ADateWithRosiePalms touching himself]] almost immediately after waking up in a female body. He then stops, because he has no idea how to arouse his new body.

* ''Manga/MakenKi'': Main character Takero Ooyama gets blasted by Syria in full PervertRevengeMode and ends up turned into a girl. After confusing his reflection in the mirror of the bathroom with a cute girl and a brief FreakOut, he intermediate proceeds to grope his new body and ends up [[ADateWithRosiePalms going all the way]] ("Being a girl is amazing."). Christening himself as "Takeko Ooyama", he decided it's the perfect change to join Haru and co in the sauna. He ends up nose bleeding into unconsciousness after seeing a ''bit'' too much of the girls. WorthIt.
* Subverted in ''Manga/NozomuNozomi'': It takes months of getting used to his new anatomy and a suitable inspiration before Nozomu finally follows through on in the [[ADateWithRosiePalms date with Rosie Palms]] he always assumed he'd immediately indulge in, because actually undergoing a GenderBender proved to be far more daunting than just fantasizing about it. And after he finally does give in he immediately becomes worried that he's gotten ''too'' comfortable being female, making him even more conflicted about it.

* Subverted and played straight in ''Fanfic/TheGiftBMeph'' - male-to-female [=JoJo=] is too busy noticing how much [[ButNotTooBlack paler]] "she" now is. Female-to-male [=JoJo=] [[ADateWithRosiePalms takes matters into "his" own hands]]....

* ''Literature/ThisIsScrewedUpButIWasReincarnatedAsAGirlInAnotherWorld'': The moment Ren manages to get shelter, and safety, stops to consider the fact that she's got the soul of a 30-year-old male researcher in a ''very busty'' teenage girl, and checks herself out, [[ADateWithRosiePalms to its logical conclusion.]] Then keeps doing it whenever she has a chance and is confident nobody's going to come in and interrupt her.

* Parodied in ''LightNovel/GonnaBeTheTwinTail''. When Souji undergoes a GenderBender into Tail Red, Aika and Twoearle spy on him, thinking he will feel himself up. While he does strip and look himself over, the worst he goes is fondle the MegaTwintails he gains in the transformation, since he has a massive {{fetish}} for girl's twintails.

A specific example of PowerPerversionPotential. Almost every time a male--[[AllMenArePerverts and it is always a male]]--gets trapped in some kind of GenderBender situation, the first thing the man turned woman does is [[BuxomIsBetter check out the new equipment]]. In front of a mirror, if one is available. Often a form of {{Fanservice}}.

* A slightly tamer version appears in the first ''Film/ScoobyDoo'' movie. When Fred winds up in Daphne's body, he pulls aside her collar and looks down, saying "I can look at myself ''naked''." The look of disdain that Velma gives him/her is priceless. Then, later, Shaggy takes possession of Daphne's body, however all he does is to admonish her, "Don't you ever eat?"

* ''LightNovel/AnotherWorldReincarnation'', the web-novel version, has Ren, the moment she manages to get shelter, and safety, stops to consider the fact that she's got the soul of a 30-year-old male researcher in a ''very busty'' 10 year old girl, and checks herself out, [[ADateWithRosiePalms to its logical conclusion.]] Then keeps doing it whenever she has a chance and is confident nobody's going to come in and interrupt her.

** The one the Doctor actually unparodically regenerated into a woman in [[Recap/DoctorWho2017CSTwiceUponATime "Twice Upon a Time"]], she's happy about it and is in no hurry to, um, check herself out.

* ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'' has a downplayed case, where instead of his hands the changeling uses his voice: following requests, Chrovos decides to take a human form. After two male attempts that go wrong, a female one follows, and joyful gloating ensues ("There we are, the shape of vengeance itself, an hourglass figure. Too on the noise? It-it's a time reference.")

* In the ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' web series ''WebVideo/CriticalRole'', in campaign 2, the party have to infiltrate Asarius - a city with few humans living in it. Caleb the Wizard offers to use [[BalefulPolymorph Polymorph]] to help disguise [[GenderBlenderName Beaureguard]] so she is no longer human, she asks to be turned into a [[HornedHumanoid Tiefling]]... a ''male'' Tiefling. Whilst most of her skin in that form is red she does take a look into her pants and discovers that as the only other male Tiefling's... "parts"... Caleb had ever seen was their fellow [[spoiler:deceased]] party member Mollymauk's it doesn't match the rest of her.

Females-turned-male will almost never do the equivalent with their new equipment. That's partly because it's [[ADateWithRosiePalms a lot more risque]], and partly because [[MostWritersAreMale male self-pleasuring isn't cool]]. Or maybe it's because AllWomenArePrudes and thus disgust is far more expected, while on the other hand males-turned-female will engage in this trope even if they are horrified by the transformation to show that AllMenArePerverts.

* Parodied in ''LightNovel/GonnaBeTheTwinTail''. When Souji undergoes a GenderBender into Tail Red, Aika and Thouars spy on him, thinking he will feel himself up. While he does strip and look himself over, the worst he goes is fondle the MegaTwintails he gains in the transformation, since he has a massive {{fetish}} for girl's twintails.

* Bernard the goat herder from ''Film/{{Stardust}}'', after being turned by Lamia into a woman, attracts odd glances by his habit of feeling himself up in public, as well as showing a distinct lesbian vibe toward a naked Yvaine. "She" also has a very deep male voice which ends up tipping off Tristan to the shadiness of the pop-up inn's proprietor.

* Captain Kirk, of ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' fame, does this in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4k5VzDBOcpM this British power company commercial]]. He gets walloped for it.

* Subverted (in a horrifying way) in ''ComicBook/{{Providence}}'': Elspeth Wade, a 13 year old girl, performs a sudden FreakyFridayFlip with Robert, the older male protagonist. He is understandably horrified and doesn't even consider a self-examination. Meanwhile, Elspeth is ecstatic at having a penis [[spoiler: again, as Elspeth is actually her male ancestor Etienne Roulet, who has been doing a BodySurf for centuries]], and after checking out her/his new equipment [[spoiler: uses it to rape Robert in Elspeth's body]].

* Inverted in the ''Carrie''/''Omen'' mashup film ''Film/FearNoEvil'' (1981) where the put-upon protagonist Andrew Williams [[spoiler: who just happens to be the Antichrist]] punishes the JerkJock Tony who torments him by giving him female breasts. The horrified guy ''stabs himself to death'' trying to (presumably) cut them off.

* In ''Literature/{{Lullaby}}'' by Creator/ChuckPalahniuk [[spoiler: Helen frees Carl from jail by possessing a police sergeant and releasing him. She then says that she is going to masturbate once he leaves, "for the experience of it."]]
* Somewhat deconstructed in the Creator/CliveBarker short story "The Madonna." The transformation is too much of a MindScrew for the men involved for them to engage in any self-perversion. One of them, an unrepentant womanizer, is so traumatized that [[spoiler: he commits suicide rather than live as a woman.]]

* In ''[[Literature/{{Spellsinger}} The Paths of the Perambulator]]'', the only one in a temporarily sex-changed traveling party to inspect their new anatomy is a female-turned-male. [[spoiler: Being a talking hinny, with hooves rather than hands, the curious female-to-male wasn't able to touch anything, either.]] The most chronically-lustful party member is ''far'' too busy being traumatized by what he's lost to pay attention to what he's gained.

* ''Literature/{{Worm}}'' has a completely [[https://parahumans.wordpress.com/category/stories-arcs-1-10/%C2%AD-arc-10-parasite/10-x-interlude/ non-comedic example]] when [[spoiler: Regent]] pulls a GrandTheftMe on [[spoiler: Shadow Stalker]] during which she is [[AndIMustScream completely conscious and aware but unable to control her own body]]. One thing he does while possessing her is use her hands to grope her [[{{Sadist}} (more to enjoy the shudder of revulsion he can feel through her as out of any sexual interest,)]] but this particular violation is only a minor detail compared to making her alienate the few people who care about her, send incriminating evidence about herself to the cops, and make her think he's about to pull a PsychicAssistedSuicide. The scene split the fanbase between those who were delighted at the AssholeVictim getting payback for all the torment she's inflicted on people for her own sadistic amusement, and others who think it takes PayEvilUntoEvil too far. It is also revealed that he's "had sex" with himself while possessing other people (explicitly identified as rape by another character) and enjoys making people suffer as the emotions he vicariously experiences through them are like a really good movie to him, and confirm him as both TheSociopath and the TokenEvilTeammate.

* Subverted and played straight in ''Fanfic/TheGift'' - male-to-female [=JoJo=] is too busy noticing how much [[ButNotTooBlack paler]] "she" now is. Female-to-male [=JoJo=] [[ADateWithRosiePalms takes matters into "his" own hands]]....

* In season three of ''Series/TheGoodPlace'', Janet transfers the four humans to her void, killing them in the process. In her void she is unable to immediately create copies of each human's original body, so instead she temporarily transfers their souls of copies of her own body. The first thing Jason is smirk and point to his/Janet's boobs.

* Averted in ''LightNovel/ReignOfTheSevenSpellblades''. Pete Reston is a reversi, i.e. born with the ability to [[GenderBender switch biological sexes]]. His initial reaction to switching for the first time is to be horrified that he grew breasts and had his junk go missing in his sleep.

->"If a man got turned into a woman, this is the ''first'' thing he would do."
--> -- '''Ryou Tamura'''

** Natsuru in the manga is far less modest in the manga: Feels himself up: “These are real.” Lifts skirt, takes a good look at his striped panties.

* In season three of ''Series/TheGoodPlace'', Janet transfers the four humans to her void, killing them in the process. In her void she is unable to immediately create copies of each human’s original body, so instead she temporarily transfers their souls of copies of her own body. The first thing Jason is smirk and point to his/Janet’s boobs.

* Happens in ''Manga/DNA2'', when [[BastardBoyfriend Ryuji]] sees himself in a mirror, realizes he somehow turned in his ex-girlfriend Tomoko and, after a moment of shock, starts groping his own ass, before he starts stripping for the whole package... And discovers that ''only his face changed''. [[spoiler:He later acquires the ability to turn completely in any person he absorbed DNA from, but if he did this with Ami and then Karin remains unknown.]]

** Surprisingly, he ''didn't'' do it in "[[Recap/StarTrekS3E24TurnaboutIntruder Turnabout Intruder]]". That we know of.

** While bathing a few days later, it's implied Matsuri is looking at his new genitals, but is again interrupted.
--->''I see... so that’s what’s going on down there.''

Compare ShowingOffTheNewBody (which is a completely different situation that results in similar behavior), SweetOnPollyOliver (where a guy finds another "guy" attractive, with similar squick reactions pre reveal) and BreakingInOldHabits (where new hands are "tested out").

Compare ShowingOffTheNewBody which is a completely different situation that results in similar behavior; SweetOnPollyOliver, where a guy finds another "guy" attractive, with similar squick reactions pre reveal; and BreakingInOldHabits, where new hands are "tested out".

** Happen in "Put Your Head On My Shoulder" when Fry must spend few days with his head transplanted onto Amy's shoulder. {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d when Fry has his head put back on his own body, he feels his own chest only to disappointedly say, "Aww."

** In ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureVentoAureo'', Mista and Trish switches bodies [[spoiler:because of Silver Chariot Requiem's ability]], followed by Mista feeling up his new body and Trish shouting at him for touching "her" body like that.

* ''Manga/HungryMarie'''s male protagonist Taiga is struck by lightning during a fishy ritual to bring a dead French princess back to life. When he wakes up in said princess's (pretty curvy) body, the first thing he checks is that his chest is quite a bit softer and heavier.
* ''Manga/ILoveYuriAndIGotBodyswappedWithAFujoshi'': GenderInverted. Yoshida is not exactly thrilled about undressing his new female body, but Hoshina is quick to strip down to nothing, take a picture of her new male body (penis censored for the viewer's benefit), and send it to Yoshida, asking him to save it to her phone for her. [[spoiler:He deletes it, instead]].
* In ''Manga/{{Jagaaaaaan}}'', Yadori starts [[ADateWithRosiePalms touching himself]] almost immediately after waking up in a female body. He then stops, because he has no idea how to arouse his new body.
