** Naruto with this whenever he does the Sexy Jutsu, where he transforms into an attractive scantily-clad woman to induce nosebleeds in men.

* One of the background tracks from Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt, ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruo1gLmheEU "S-Trip"]]'' just screams [[Film/{{Borat}} Sexy time]], with it being involved in fanservice, pole dancing, and food sex.
* The saxophone is [[MsFanservice Rouge's]] {{leitmotif}} in both the Japanese version and the 4Kids dub of ''Anime/SonicX''.

-->[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Eyp7loLwL0 "But before they can get underway, we get a bellboy and an offscreen saxophone player."]]

* Music/GerryRafferty's "Baker Street" ''IS'' the other sexophone StandardSnippet. It's a melancholic jazz song about the gloomy London street, but listeners are more hooked to the saxophone riff performed by Raphael Ravenscroft; so much so that upon its release, saxophone sales went up just to play that riff.

[[folder:Theater]]

** Lisa/Ginko in ''VideoGame/{{Persona 2}}'' also has the Tempt/Seduce like Ayase above, with the sexophone to match. She can also drag Maya and an unwilling/embarrassed Yukino to do a triple seduce... with the sexophone to match.

* In ''WebAnimation/{{EQUESTRIA GIRLS}}'', sexy sax music signals that love is in the air ([[LimitedAnimation since the characters' facial expressions can't signal that]]). First, it's played straight, then it's used for a fight scene that unexpectedly [[SlapSlapKiss turns into a love scene]]. Then it's used for a truly bizarre scene where the Moon from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask'' falls in love with Rarity, but she doesn't reciprocate.

* Spoofed in ''VideoGame/{{Mother 3}}'', as it is the {{leitmotif}} of the [[CampGay not-quite-so-sexy]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0xaZxMZGUE Magypsies]]. The saxophone there had a weird, reverberated, distorted kind of sound to it. Later on in the game, it even serves as [[spoiler:a MusicalSpoiler as to the true identity of Fassad as Locria, the seventh Magypsy]]. And then there's [[SugarWiki/MostWonderfulSound Flint's attack instrument]]...
