History Main / SnakesAreSexy

* {{Belly dancer}}s sometimes use snakes as props during their shows. Though they should be careful not to swing them around too much, lest they {{vomit|IndiscretionShot}} and {{squick}} the audience.

''Podcast/SibyllineSounds'' has several sexy snake characters. The most frequently appearing ones are Sage, a snake who works as a therapist, and Calister, your snake boyfriend who works in a coffee shop.

* Medusa, the BigBad of ''VideoGame/KidIcarus'', [[http://images.wikia.com/nintendo/en/images/1/18/Medusa_Uprising.png as seen in]] ''Uprising''. It's heavily implied that this was Medusa's original form before [[BigGood Palutena, Goddess of Light]] cursed her for tormenting humans, [[ThisWasHisTrueForm as seen when Medusa dies in the original game]]. Overlaps with {{Hot God}}dess, as Medusa was the Goddess of Darkness.

Western reinterpretations of these monsters are likely to make them a GorgeousGorgon with serpentine qualities rendered more alluring than monstrous. They might also be decorated with fetishized "exotic" elements of the [[ArabianNightsDays Middle-Eastern]] and [[MysticalIndia Indian]] cultures from which they are appropriated: don't be surprised to see a serpentine seductress wearing a veil and doing a [[BellyDancer belly dance]] holding a scimitar.

* TheProtagonist of UsefulNotes/{{Bollywood}} film ''Film/{{Hisss}}'' is a Nagini, a shapeshifting cobra that can turn into a HeadTurningBeauty human form (played by Creator/MallikaSherawat) with many of her scenes being played for {{Fanservice}}, with her being NakedOnArrival,[[SleepsInTheNude sleeping naked]], wearing {{Stripperiffic}} clothing and going SkinnyDipping complete with {{Sexy Surfacing Shot}}s. [[note]]Although the nudity is never explicit, being censored by [[SceneryCensor strategic camera or [[CensorShadow shadow placement]], with the most flesh shown being ShouldersUpNudity or ToplessnessFromTheBack shots.[[/note]]

Whatever the reason, in any situation not emphasizing SnakesAreSinister or SmugSnake, snakes are used as a symbol of EvilIsSexy.

** Maraliths are powerful demons that combine this Trope with EvilIsSexy, [[StatuesqueStunner being tall]] with long, snaky tails and the upper bodies of six-armed women. They're ''usually'' depicted as being [[HeadTurningBeauty extremely attractive]] (a few rare pictures have depicted them as being ugly and bestial). One ''TabletopGame/{{Planescape}}'' short story told in comic book form features a cambion trying to win the love of one of them, only [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor to get his wish in the worst way possible.]]

* [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyIII Cloud of Darkness]] from ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy''. Although they are called tentacles, they have a clear snake-like appearance and even have eyes and mouths resembling snakes. The tentacles just add to [=CoD=]'s [[EvilIsSexy allure]]. Other (and {{older|ThanTheyThink}}) examples would Marilith, the [[MultiArmedAndDangerous multi-armed]] Fiend of [[PlayingWithFire Fire]] from [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyI the first game]], and the Lamia Queen from ''[[VideoGame.FinalFantasyII II]]''.

* {{Belly dancer}}s sometimes use snakes as props during their shows. Though they should be careful not to swing them aroundn too much, lest they {{vomit|IndiscretionShot}} and {{squick}} the audience.

* [[http://www.goblinscomic.com/08242008/ Kin]] from ''Webcomic/{{Goblins}}'' falls into this. She's a yuan-ti, so she looks human from the waist up, but has a snake tail. In her early appearances, she's essentially wearing a bikini top, which is revealed to be a case of GoGoEnslavement, and she quickly changes into something more modest when the opportunity arises.

* ''Film/SpaceJamANewLegacy'': [[SnakePeople White Mamba]] is quite seductive and flirtatious. Especially with her snake-like appearance and this helps too since she is voiced by Diana Taurasi.
