* Captain Jack Harkness and Ianto Jones (especially together) of ''{{Torchwood}}''.
** For additional demographic appeal, add Captain John Hart. Ever wonder how women would react to a non-[[BadassDecay decayed]], omnisexual Spike from ''Buffy''? Here's a hint: [[{{Squee}} those aren't sirens outside your window.]]
*** Ah, if only he were. By the finale he's even more himified than ever, due to Jack now having an aura that makes everyone fall in love with him [[RetCon retroactively]].
**** But in the beginning, with the invocation of SlapSlapKiss (or as they did it, Kiss-Fight-Drink) between him and Captain Jack...YUM!
** Owen Harper, the snarky medic of the team. At first a superficial would-be Casanova who's had every female on the team, but after a quick stop-off as an adorable nerdy-type [[spoiler: thanks to some memory manipulation]] in "Adam", firmly becomes the team's [[TheWoobie woobie]] during the 2nd season [[spoiler: following his death]].

* Richard in the SwordOfTruth adaptation LegendOfTheSeeker, is shirtless in the first scene, it just goes from there. It sets the tone that their fanservice is equal-opportunity. And with Kahlan and Cara (form-fitting leather, much?), it's a high bar he has to meet. Having the lowest neckline in the party helps.
** The river scene. Full stop.

* ''[[StarTrekEnterprise Enterprise]]'' was certainly not immune to this trope: hunky, tough, but still intelligent Captain Archer, Southern sweetheart engineer Trip, and somewhat pompous-but-sexily-accented Malcom, all qualify very much for the position.
