* Radames in ''Theatre/{{Aida}}'', following the SexyDiscretionShot between him and the titular character, to make it obvious that they slept together.

* It's common for at least some soccer players to remove their shirts before leaving the field at the end of a match. Originally, this was done to honour the long-standing tradition of swapping shirts, particular after international or high-profile games. Although there's still an element of this, nowadays it's more of an excuse for physically fit, tired and overheated young men to [[MrFanservice show off]] their bodies from time to time. A few players (Cristiano Ronaldo and Lewis Holtby, for example) strip off after every match as a matter of course, for no reason other than habit or [[Stripperiffic a bit of mild exhibitionism]].

* Bruce Banner in every adaptation of ''TheHulk'' always has his clothes conveniently ripped away when he transforms, meaning that when he turns back into Bruce we get lovely scenes of him wearing nothing except for a pair of baggy purple shorts which he has to hold up to stop them falling down. Of course, [[MagicPants his trousers never tear off completely.]]

This trope is among the AlwaysMale tropes because... [[NippleAndDimed well, you know.]] The closest female equivalent would usually be a LingerieScene, BareYourMidriff, or a SwimsuitScene. Or, if it's more important to have a female character shirtless InUniverse but not necessarily to show everything to the viewers, then of course the answer is ToplessnessFromTheBack.

** Neal Adams was also the first person to draw Franchise/{{Batman}} villain Ra's Al Ghul, who is a WalkingShirtlessScene half the time. Naturally, the first Batman and Ra's fought, they were both shirtless.

So, you thought {{fanservice}} [[MostWritersAreMale was only targeted towards men...]]

** Most male members of the Batman Family appear shirtless frequently, especially MrFanservice {{Nightwing}}. He always ends up parading around [[ShirtlessScene shirtless]] or in his underwear, and he has a tendency to get [[JamesBondage tied up]]... often while shirtless or in his underwear.

* The comic adaption of ''[[ComicBook/TheDresdenFiles Storm Front]]'' has one scene where Harry, who just got out of the shower, has to fight a demon. He didn't have much time to get his clothes on. Not that anyone's complaining; especially his kind-of girlfriend, who just drank a love potion on accident and is trying to have sex with him.
