7The Female Gaze is a {{Gaze}} trope about the way a work is presented from a female perspective or reflects female attitudes, either because of the creator's gender or because it is deliberately aimed at a female audience. Although looking at sexy men can contribute to it, Female Gaze is not restricted to that but is more importantly about the expectations of how the (presumptive) audience relate to the work.
8
9Female Gaze is a DistaffCounterpart to MaleGaze. It is generally less common than its SpearCounterpart, and this is largely believed to be due to MostWritersAreMale.
10
11May overlap with Homosexual MaleGaze. Compare EatingTheEyeCandy and LongingLook.

17* The women in this commercial for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgTBx2Sgmp4 Lee Premium Select Jeans]].
18* The girls in the BOD Man [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbS-n_ux-bs football]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qG4TAvD6Wwo soccer]] commercials. Actually, all of the BOD Man commercials fit this {{Trope}} since the female narrator always says "I want your bod!" at the end of the commercials.
19* The blonde watching the guy shooting pool in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOvk_5xKzvE this]] Levi's 501 jeans commercial.
20* The entire premise of a famous [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HI3Ft363PZ8 Diet Coke commercial]] from 1994, involving a hunky construction worker.
21* Carlee in this [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oonQyC3FTW0#t=0m53s Aussiebum commercial]].
22* The reporter in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drmeHg2VuTo this]] Diet Rite commercial.
23* A whole series of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwYCvTpYMCA Diet Coke adverts]] are infamous for being proudly built on this trope.
24* The women in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0R8JAOSi1w#t=10m33s this]] RPM commercial.
25* In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZy_4CovR04#t=16m02s this]] English Leather commercial, the woman's checking out her racquetball opponent and she's mentally undressing him, judging from her tone of voice when she says "All my men wear English Leather, or they wear nothing at all."
26* Parodied in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbnpsZc3Roc this advert]] from 1999: a large group of women hypnotically look at... a hunk's Tissot wristwatch.

30* The camera in the anime adaptation of ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'' spends a ''lot'' of time lingering on Eren's [[{{Fanservice}} glistening]] muscles when he turns into the Rogue Titan. [[http://attackontitan.wikia.com/wiki/Eren_Yeager?file=A_mysterious_Titan_appears.png Behold!]]. In fact, the fights in the manga feature lots of female-friendly focus on the Titan shifters' bodies in general ([[http://attackontitan.wikia.com/wiki/Reiner_Braun/Image_Gallery?file=Eren_and_Reiner_rematch.jpg case in point]]); however, this sometimes drifts into FanDisservice due to the grievous injuries they suffer in their battles.
31* ''Manga/{{Basilisk}}'': Once, as Oboro and Gennosuke walk through a very thin path in the mountains, we follow Oboro's gaze as she looks at Gennosuke's back...
32* In ''Manga/Bastard1988'', when Lucien first appears [[spoiler:in his true form as Lucifer]] -- completely naked -- pretty much the first thing he says is "What are you looking at, Miss Yoko?" The fact that Yoko is on her hands and knees in front of him doesn't help.
33* ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'':
34** Twisted example with Farnese when she whips a [[ShirtlessScene shirtless]] and chained up Guts, she gets [[https://i.pinimg.com/564x/6e/01/0e/6e010e4aacb168efcc83109a4733ed89.jpg noticeably]] [[https://cdn.berserkchapters.com/file/mangap/1/20121000/16.jpg aroused]] by the sight of his bleeding [[HeroicBuild muscly pecks]] showing her sadomasochism. If that wasn't enough later on Farnese masturbates upon remembering whipping Guts and in her literal inner demons mock Farnese saying how much she enjoyed it, this all fuels Farnese's SexIsEvilAndIAmHorny troubles due to her [[VirginPower pious virginity]]. She gets [[TookALevelInKindness better eventually]].
35** In a similar situation ([[SoBeautifulItsACurse poor Guts]]) God Hand member Slan rips off his armor so she can get [[https://i.pinimg.com/564x/18/ba/e4/18bae4b4f9181ac86dfacdfed202da31.jpg a good look]] at his body, she then precedes to molest him until the Skull Knight intervenes.
36** Played ''much'' more gently with Casca during her love scene with Guts in the Golden Age as she "investigates" Gut's torso seeing the still bleeding wound she inadvertently gave him earlier and after licking it she says she wants a wound from him too.
37** When Schierke is putting a magic seal on Guts, she gets [[https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-E-M0yKvyukQ/WE4Hv1iqU1I/AAAAAAAABvs/1roYeZysxbcWYWZjp7YDmBpK3h7mF2IkQCLcB/s1600/Berserk_v33_p032.jpg a bit distracted]] due to her PrecociousCrush.
38** When Farnese and Schierke [[JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind enter Casca's mind]] they see the aforementioned love scene from Casca's [=POV=], [[https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcRz08jUBX--aXm5AmEqEihmCf1X0fgfpq4ex2FBbjZAOm6dGeSP it's exactly what you'd expect]]. Farnese even [[CoverInnocentEyesAndEars shields]] Schierke's eyes from the sight.
39* Pick up a volume of ''Manga/BlackButler''. ''Any'' volume. Turn to a chapter. ''Any'' chapter. You will most likely be greeted with pans of the body of a [[NoYay prepubescent boy]], along with his {{Bishounen}} BattleButler's hands all over him.
40* While ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' has lots of MaleGaze (actually, only Rangiku, Orihime, and Yoruichi count), the female fans have just as much, if not more eye-candy. How many times has Ichigo gotten ClothingDamage, to start? And what about Renji, his ''very'' tattooed body, and his ''very'' sexy SlipknotPonytail? Let's not forget Byakuya wearing a tuxedo in some pictures, Ikkaku and his own share of ClothingDamage, and especially '''[[WalkingshirtlessScene Grimmjow]]'''.
41** Don't forget the time Ichigo failed to land a scratch on Ulquiorra, but succeeded in [[ClothingDamage ruining his shirt.]]
42** Speaking of Ulquiorra, there's quite a bit of focus on his lips.
43** There's also Hisagi and Kensei, who are both not only buff and [[SleevesAreForWimps never seem to wear sleeves]], but they have ''sixty-nine'' tattoos, Hisagi's on his face and Kensei's on his abs. Sure, the numbers actually have an innocuous explanation in-universe, but it's easy to assume otherwise...
44* ''Anime/CodeGeass'' is ''very'' good about the MaleGaze (with Kallen in particular), yeah, but it also has some fanservice for the ladies, such as Lelouch's ShowerOfAngst and Suzaku's ass. Actually when you think about it, the ''EstrogenBrigade'' is enough to cancel out the show's intended audience. Go ahead, see if you can find more than 50 straight fanfics.
45* ''Manga/CryingFreeman'': Yoh Hinomura [[BattleStrip undressing]] is usually followed by a full-page splash panel displaying his body. [[FullFrontalAssault Before he kills his enemies, often while still in the nude.]]
46* ''Anime/DanganronpaTheAnimation''.
47** Episode 4 opens with [[NiceGuy Makoto]] taking a shower after the first trial, giving viewers a gratuitous shot of his ass.
48*** ''Anime/Danganronpa3TheEndOfHopesPeakHighSchool'' has a similar scene in episode 7 of the Despair Arc where [[AmbiguouslyEvil Nagito]] can be seen bathing in a tropical paradise, with his butt in full view for a good few seconds. [[note]]Seems like getting an ass shot is an [[MirrorCharacter Ultimate Lucky Student]] thing.[[/note]]
49** There's also [[MrFanservice Kiyotaka]] wearing a small [[ModestyTowel modesty towel]] during the sauna scene in episode 4. And two episodes later he's shirtless again and showing off his physique.
50* In ''Anime/DigimonTamers'', Juri kept doing this a lot when she first discovered [[{{Hunk}} Leomon]] and even was illusioned thinking he was meant to be her partner, which only ticked him off because she wouldn't leave him alone. She got her wish, though she entirely dropped the gazing when things got more serious between them and the worlds.
51* ''Anime/DragonBallZ''. Granted, of course, this is a series that prides itself on heavily muscled men beating the snot out of each other. Still, there are far more long panning shots up spandex-clad male bodies than can possibly be justified by dramatic reasons. May explain part of the show's relatively large female following.
52** ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'' has had enough ass shots of the guys for fans to take notice. Particularly of Vegeta.
53** Even the HappilyMarried [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cTo9xrYKhak&t=21s Chi-Chi took notice of Vegeta’s sexy bod]].
54** InUniverse example with Angela from Gohan's high school as on her way to gym class she "[[https://youtu.be/JoO7yIDHH7o?t=42 notices]]" Gohan is still changing and spots his teddy bear underwear and is overly delighted. Then she uses this tidbit as blackmail so that Gohan will go on a date with her, as Gohan mistakenly believes "the secret" she knows is that he's actually Great Saiyaman... why the hell [[CovertPervert was she looking into the boy's locker room]] in the first place is never questioned.
55*** To be fair to Angela, this isn't the first time [[https://66.media.tumblr.com/dc4d7920932995e9601fc29fc8df75ff/tumblr_n456klZHmn1r72ht7o1_400.gif Gohan was subject to the Female Gaze]].
56** In ''Anime/DragonBallSuperBroly'' there's a [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=u7q0bAPUQoI&t=14s POV]] of Cheelai scanning Broly's hunky body with her scouter which very much invokes this. Lampshaded in [[https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/001/478/411/b07.jpg this one]] WebComic.
57** From the same movie, [[FusionDance Gogeta]] [[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/74/4d/e6/744de623d5911e077c8ac6907e70272c.gif intentionally invokes this]] during the credits to the immense excitement of female fans online.
58* In ''Anime/EdenOfTheEast'', Saki's reaction to getting hit with a NakedFirstImpression is to stare at the man's groin for about ten seconds.
59* ''Manga/FairyTail'' while more commonly known for the MaleGaze, still pays loving attention to the musculature of Natsu and Gray for female fans. InUniverse Jellal [[https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcQfLNTSTkLmyCbGrI0A-qFCmXTf6pz1o4uvfPv4_Eh6Kas1JCw_ effectively weaponises this trope against poor Ezra]] whom having previously established [[FoeRomanceSubtext feelings for him]] immediately becomes flustered in the fight and [[DistractedByTheSexy has trouble concentrating]].
60* Creator/KyotoAnimation released a thirty-second promo featuring a [[SportsStories swim team]], now known as ''Anime/{{Free}}'' Anime fans quickly took note of the fact that said promo was essentially a [[http://youtu.be/ByhP478ZPQI half-minute beefcake reel]], full of loving shots on the chiseled abs, buns, and even feet of nubile young swimmer boys, in tight swim shorts, while dripping wet and with [[BowChickaWowWow pulsing music for good measure.]] An InstantFanClub was gained from the promo alone, despite the fact that nobody knew if it was a promo for the studio or a full series (although the latter eventually came to pass, to the fangirls' delight.)
61** And the main series, titled ''Anime/{{Free}}'', indeed lived up to its predecessor in being as filled with lovingly-shot images of muscular {{bishounen}} as possible while still retaining an actual plot.
62* Happens a few times in ''Manga/{{Gangsta}}'' as there are plenty of panel/shots of the musculature of the male characters and at several points we get Alex’s POV as she ogles Worick and Nic closely, especially noticing their tattoos when they’re underdressed. Considering the series was created by a female Mangaka it’s to be expected.
63* Albeit unintentionally, the ''Manga/GetterRobo G'' [[http://youtu.be/bHtIjY2hKt4 ending sequence]] lets us know that [[TheHero Ryoma]] [[LegFocus has got particularly shaped legs]].
64* ''Manga/FushigiYuugi''. Almost every male character gets a ShirtlessScene at least once.
65* ''Anime/MobileFighterGGundam'': Domon Kasshu, making SuperRobot fanboys everywhere... [[StupidSexyFlanders vaguely]] uncomfortable since 1994.
66** All of the Shuffles are subjected to quite a bit of female gaze when suited up. It certainly helps that they all have different body types: George is the archetypical slender and graceful {{Bishonen}}, Chibodee has a rather ample chest, Sai Saici is youthful-looking and {{Keet}}-ish, and Argo is ''very'' buff. Any wonder as to why this series is pretty popular among girls?
67** As bonuses, Domon and Chibodee get several {{Shirtless Scene}}s...''especially'' Chibodee, being a boxer and all and having a well-toned frame.
68* ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing''. Trowa Barton. Shirtless Trowa from the Endless Waltz OVA. Also, he gets a butt shot in the "Odds and Evens" shorts.
69** Treie Khushrenada. Bubble bath with rose petals.
70** Lots of crotch and butt shots of the G-boys throughout the series. Oh, and {{Latex Space Suit}}s.
71** The G-boys are seen in Speedos in one of the promo artbooks, as well as Heero and Duo taking their soaking wet shirts off in the rain.
72** Dozens of artbook pictures featuring [[GuyOnGuyIsHot Heero and Duo hanging all over each other]].
73** Heero's usual outfit consisting of a slinky tank top that frequently shows off his man-cleavage, and tight Spandex bike shorts with nothing underneath.
74** The series in general, being one of the first in the ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'' franchise to feature a CastFullOfPrettyBoys.
75* ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam00'' has Tieria Erde's infamous ShowerOfAngst, as well as Alejandro Corner wearing only in a bathrobe and Ribbons Almark in a midriff-baring top and white undies while cranking up the HoYay [[spoiler: to [[HoneyTrap worm his way up]] Alejandro's trust and affections.]]
76** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KVzl1G5iHc second ending animation]] featured [[TheHero Setsuna F. Seiei]] and [[TallDarkAndHandsome Allelujah Haptism]] in {{Shirtless Scene}}s, and a close-up shot of [[BigBrotherMentor Lockon Stratos']] crotch.
77*** And the {{Out of Clothes Experience}}s [[spoiler: coming from the Trans-Am System]] don't spare ''anyone'' from either male or female gaze. Setsuna and Mr. Bushido aka Graham are among the "victims", and even [[GoodScarsEvilScars with all of his scars]] it's ''very'' nice to see Graham naked.
78* In the BaseballEpisode of ''Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya'', Tsuruya is introduced, and she promptly looks at Kyon's crotch. Lampshaded in ''WebVideo/TheAbridgingOfHaruhiSuzumiya'', obviously.
79** That same episode has an [[HilariousOuttakes outtake]] from the English dub cast where ''[[CovertPervert Mikuru]]'' of all people gleefully exclaims "Ooh look, buttcrack!" when watching Kyon dive to catch a baseball.
80* ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'' gives us England's post-hot bath ShirtlessScene in Japan's house, which was ''notoriously'' more fanservicey in the anime than in the original webcomic.
81** Also, when China crossdressed in the April's Fool Special, there was quite the bit of attention focused on his bare legs. While America wore a NakedApron, England dressed up as a nurse, Russia put on a dress... and France, as usual, [[NakedPeopleAreFunny was buttnaked.]]
82** The incredibly buff Germany appears shirtless quite a few times in the anime, and often in sleeveless shirts.
83* ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'', Jesus Christ with a [[CastFullOfPrettyBoys cast full ridiculously handsome]] and [[WorldOfMuscleMen muscly men]] you'd have a harder time finding the MaleGaze. Araki goes out of his way to appeal to girls, just see [[https://gfycat.com/fr/darlingadorableamericanwigeon Joseph Joestar]] from Part 2 who remains attractive to women ''when he's 69''.
84** Special mention goes to [[BigBad Dio]] [[VampiresAreSexGods Brando]], who's the quite possibly the ''personification'' of this trope. Nearly of ''all'' of his scenes in [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders part 3]] contain gratuitous shots of [[MusclesAreMeaningful his muscular body]] (which he [[GrandTheftMe stole from his]] [[CainAndAbel stepbrother]]) that clearly just there for fanservice purposes (which is especially noticeable in [[https://66.media.tumblr.com/e40e5da4cdcaaadcde07f024409ab061/tumblr_inline_p90z9pMQVz1uxav48_400.gif this scene]]). And then there's [[EvilSoundsDeep his]] [[ArousedByTheirVoice voice]]...
85** Polnareff [[https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/001/039/079/fe6.png is]] [[https://66.media.tumblr.com/cbb91baf4e15b95d29d095b42e783c5e/tumblr_p69n7jRvNr1w3dtkfo1_640.jpg almost]] [[https://i.redd.it/m7n291ywjkg21.jpg as bad]] as Dio when it comes to this trope. Though to be fair ''he is French''.
86* While ''Manga/KarakuridoujiUltimo'' is very much {{Shonen}}, you'll find that more than half of the fanbase are girls due to the [[ViewerGenderConfusion fact that almost all of the robots look like girls]], and the {{Yaoi}} undertones between Rune and Yamato's relationship.
87* In ''Anime/KillLaKill'', most people are put off by Aikuro's tendencies for exhibitionism and nudity. Suyuko, [[https://41.media.tumblr.com/edff1db5f572bc99365f8f921fb8c17f/tumblr_nkioeqczPL1rj016ro1_1280.png on]] [[https://40.media.tumblr.com/8d535e4fadb43edd619103e89abcaa1c/tumblr_nkioeqczPL1rj016ro2_1280.png the]] [[https://40.media.tumblr.com/11ffcd0afaabc7d59dd17bd9f4cf1aa6/tumblr_nkioeqczPL1rj016ro4_1280.png other]] [[https://41.media.tumblr.com/7ff3558d4bcb145f44c7af954337ec8c/tumblr_nkioeqczPL1rj016ro7_1280.png hand]]...
88* ''Manga/MagiTheLabyrinthOfMagic'' gives us Sinbad in all his naked glory. Within his first appearance, girls' eyes might wander down.
89* ''Anime/MazingerZ'': Kouji Kabuto. In the anime he was shown half-naked more often than Sayaka. (And this is the resident MsFanservice we're talking about). And in the manga he visited a hot springs resort, and stripped himself once [[NakedPeopleAreFunny for no reason at all]]. Duke Fleed from ''Anime/UFORoboGrendizer'' also "suffered" from it: an example was when Kouji went to Duke's room late in the night to discuss a matter that was worrying him... and both of them [[ShirtlessScene were naked up waist]] during the conversation.
90* One ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' two-page color spread had "female gaze!" all over it. The girls are all happy and relaxed and you don't see too much of their bodies... but the boys bicker all over and they're all naked and you see almost ''everything'' of Rock Lee... Okay, there's [[TheBigGuy Chouji]] too, but he [[BigFun looks very happy]] [[BigBeautifulMan and he DOES have his fangirls too.]]
91** In her début episode Karin apparently held a lengthy conversation with Sasuke's chest. That was where the camera was aimed, anyway...
92** In Episode 101 Sakura gets a [[CovertPervert bit too invested]] in trying to see her teacher Kakashi's face unmasked as she literally peeps into male's spa where Kakashi, Naruto, and Sasuke are. It's too steamy for her to see anything, however.
93** In Shippūden Episode 55 the camera zooms in on a [[ShirtlessScene shirtless Naruto]] and his equally shirtless shadow clones like Hinata was the one filming it.
94* While ''Manga/OnePiece'' is more about the MaleGaze, the inverse much like the DBZ example is [[ShirtlessScene prevalent]] as well.
95** When Franky is streaking through Water 7 wearing no underwear, while most people are disgusted [[https://img.mghubcdn.com/file/imghub/one-piece-colored/437/5.png one girl Marumieta is very interested with her binoculars]].
96** Oh and not to mention in the same scene [[CovertPervert Robin]] ''never looks away from Franky'' and even uses her Devil Fruit powers to grab his naked balls.
97** Not the first time Robin can be accused of this, in Skypeia she gives a shirtless Zoro an overly long stare and only looks away after he puts a top on.
98** In [[LadyLand Amazon Lily]], the Kuja tribe who’ve never seen men before are [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKxufU4oiDc fascinated by Luffy's naked junk]] and even more so when Luffy tells them they're his "family jewels".
99** ''Anime/OnePieceFilmZ'' has plenty of male-oriented {{Fanservice}} but it actually [[MrFanservice throws the fangirls a bone]] for once and has a bath scene with Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Brook (DemBones) and Aolkiji wearing nothing but little towels. Also in the LockAndLoadMontage before the FinalBattle, there's a [[http://66.media.tumblr.com/e6841777fd4889317a71ae2679428197/tumblr_nei101EZZO1trxys9o1_500.gif shot consisting Sanji's crotch and abs]] as he puts on a shirt.
100** Similarly in the Wano arc of the anime, the camera focuses in on [[https://twitter.com/othatsraspberry/status/1147743008009248773 Zoro's abs]] as he being forced to commit seppuku. You could grate cheese off those abdominals.
101** In the same arc [[spoiler: during Sanji’s Raid Suit TransformationSequence, [[https://66.media.tumblr.com/6c1e60dab46adcaa3eb93e7ce0edede6/49826b083d044991-6d/s640x960/53aa81845f6d8b59ae134f79ade7af86fb812749.gifv the camera zooms right in]] [[https://66.media.tumblr.com/4a167908e9afcf81a29cca6c9ee12fdb/49826b083d044991-6f/s640x960/83c1321a3f015e3b900423c21f5e99e7f7695b55.gifv on his muscular naked body]] which several female [[EatingTheEyeCandy viewers made appreciative comments]] upon seeing]].
102* ''Webcomic/OnePunchMan'' thanks to AdaptationalAttractiveness has plenty of beautiful babes [[MaleGaze that get showcased]], but there’s also a lot of handsome beefcakes like Genos and WalkingShirtlessScene Suiryu as well as Saitama himself who's got a ClarkKentOutfit to hide his fittingly god-like HeroicBuild. The clear winner however is Garou, who's gotten blatantly female-friendly [[https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcRH8FmvlOaPqmWvkGKZqExwU0BOlKBg_a1psQ&usqp=CAU gratuitous ab shots]]. Several fans have lampshaded this editing Garou [[https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcTBmI6z8ZZv-Yb0KSHz2_i7HfERDDzE0y84aA&usqp=CAU onto the covers]] of [=GQ=] magazines.
103* ''Anime/Persona4TheAnimation'':
104** [[http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lsnye3Sa771qf95ibo5_250.png Quite]] [[http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lsnye3Sa771qf95ibo7_250.png a]] [[http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lsnye3Sa771qf95ibo3_250.png lot]] of shots are focused on [[TheLancer Yousuke]]'s butt. And [[TheHero Narukami]] certainly likes to undo his shirt's top buttons.
105** And after [[TheBigGuy Kanji]] shows up, he's often seen wearing a sleeveless shirt, which lets the animators focus quite a bit on his rather nice and muscular arms.
106** In the animated rendition of a certain school trip, everyone gets drunk. He ends up totally sloshed and with his shirt open while the girls make drunken passes at him in their own ways. [[http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ly4jxqHoek1qh9on7.gif Niiiiiice abs, Narukami.]]
107* ''Anime/PsychoPass'' give us Shinya Kogami, who is mostly seen in many many [[ShirtlessScene shirtless scenes]] that showed us his well-toned body. It can't be helped though, the fangirls immediately fainted.
108* ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'' has Ranma shirtless quite often, usually so he would then be topless after being turned into a girl. Similarly, Ryoga and Mousse lose their clothes in their animal forms, so when they turn back they're naked, athletic men.
109** An aversion: For some reason, Genma, Ranma's father (who turns into a panda) seems immune to this. Somehow he seems almost always to be clothed upon being returned to a human state. Since he's nowhere nearly as attractive when unclothed (or clothed for that matter), it's probably just as well.
110* ''Anime/ScienceNinjaTeamGatchaman'': while [[TheHeart Jun]] got [[MaleGaze quite the focus]] on her lean legs, nice butt and [[PantyShot white panties]], the camera wasn't exactly shy about showing the girls [[MrFanservice how]] TallDarkAndHandsome [[TheHero Ken]] and [[TheLancer Joe]] were.
111** In the OAV, aside from Jun getting VaporWear and a nude TransformationSequence... Joe's first scene has him [[TroubledbutCute broodingly and sexily]] staring offscreen [[ShirtlessScene while wearing no shirt]] under [[HellBentForLeather his leather jacket]] ([[WalkingShirtlessScene and he doesn't wear it]] [[TransformationSequence before transforming either]]), and the very bishonen suited-up!Ken shows off a ''very'' muscled body thanks to his tight body suit. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vV8XUkgMrpQ See ALL the eye candy here, boys AND girls]]. Note that even the bad guys are now showing off muscular bare arms rather than being completely covered!
112* Currently depicted above is from ''Manga/SeitokaiYakuindomo''. Ironically for female viewers, it's less about turn-ons than it is about [[PlayedForLaughs cheap laughs]]. In at least one case, it prompts [[TheOneGuy the only significant resident boy]] to tell the [[LovableSexManiac girls]] to [[MyEyesAreUpHere raise their heads]].
113* The ''VideoGame/SengokuBasara 3'' manga puts a lot of emphasis on Yukimura's [[WalkingShirtlessScene muscular bare torso]] and Mitsunari's slender legs, especially during fight scenes.
114* ''Manga/SoulEater'': Kid has a nice ass.
115** From the same series we have Soul wearing [[OutOfClothesExperience nothing]] [[CensorShadow but a shadow]] and Stein training [[ShirtlessScene with no shirt on]].
116* ''Anime/SpaceDandy'' has almost equal amounts of this and MaleGaze-- being a series that both rejoices and parodies skimpier animes. Notable examples include episode 6, where Dandy spends 90% of the episode in a pair of briefs, and the latter half of episode 8 where there's not one but ''two'' pan-ups of his naked behind, not to mention him running around in a towel.
117* Okamoto's mech in ''Anime/StarDriver'' has a "[[{{Fanservice}} Fanservice Mode]]" that lets her see into her opponent's cockpit and through his clothing. While he's preparing to attack her. [[DistractedByTheSexy Oops]].
118* ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' is known for MaleGaze fanservice, and yet we have one scene with [[TheHero Simon]] kicking ass in a bathhouse wearing nothing but a short bath towel around the waist. The shots during the scene tended to be in worm's eye view, and the mere thing preventing anything from showing is some black [[CensorShadow shading]] under the characters' waist towels.
119** Many men are [[WalkingShirtlessScene perpetually topless]] in the show. Kamina only has a cape sometimes, and Simon, although he wears jackets, he always keeps them open and he's shirtless underneath. Kittan wears a [[SleevesAreForWimps tank top]] in one of the Parallel Works shorts that tend to get blown around exposing his chest nonetheless, he's as good as shirtless. Also, Lordgenome, complete with [[CarpetOfVirility chest hair]].
120* ''Anime/TigerAndBunny'' spoils female viewers often, with eye-candy like Barnaby's muscled body after a shower or Kotetsu frequently figuring into the show, especially in later episodes; at times the writers also seem to throw in references for [[YaoiFangirl a certain type of fangirl]] specifically, such as the RunningGag of Barnaby catching Wild Tiger in a "bridal carry" whenever the latter finds himself thrown into the air. That's not to say that the show lacks MaleGaze, either, considering some of the focal shots on the resident MsFanservice, Blue Rose.
121** ''Tiger and Bunny:'' One of the few (non-yaoi) anime to give the viewers a gratuitous {{Fanservice}} close-up shot of a ''man'''s [[http://i726.photobucket.com/albums/ww262/CapZiggy/tumblr_lndj6eZZx01qdu1k9o1_500.png naked cleavage]].
122* Even though it is a {{Seinen}} series, ''Manga/TokyoGhoul'' engages in plenty of equal-opportunity fanservice. Besides numerous shower scenes and WorkoutFanservice featuring the handsome men of the series, creator Ishida Sui claims that he draws characters starting with their asses. It ''shows'', most famously when Arima's BadassLongcoat somehow manages to cling to every inch of his heart-shaped rear end.
123* In ''Manga/ToLoveRu Darkness'', several girls see the main protagonist, Rito, naked. Momo since the first chapter where both are in the bathtub and Rito gets up suddenly.
124* In ''Anime/{{Trigun}}'' the girls Milly and ''especially'' Meryl have a reaction at [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76Od4Y73hpI seeing a shirtless Vash]], though it's probably more to due to his horrific scars and missing arm, that didn't stop Vash acting like he was being perved on, however.
125* In ''Anime/YourName'' due to a FreakyFridayFlip a girl Mitsuha wakes up in a boy (Taki)’s body and first thing she does is look down at her/his crotch and slowly reach down [[ManIFeelLikeAWoman to investigate]]. Later on we see Mitsuha leave the bathroom as Taki, and she’s got a LuminescentBlush on her face.
126* Even though ''Anime/YuGiOh'' has more a MaleGaze, i.e the Dark Magician Girl as well as several female characters like Mai in particular, the female audience got some boy candy in its male cast. Yami Yugi being the main focus of the female viewers when he's shown in an OutOfClothesExperience during a cut scene from the Japanese version of episode 181. Needless to say, the fangirls fainted.
127* There's quite a bit of this in ''Anime/YuriOnIce'', which focuses on male figure skating and has a CastFullOfPrettyBoys. It's especially apparent in regards to [[MrFanservice Victor Nikiforov and Christophe Giacometti]]; in the first four episodes there's a lot of attention on Victor's body when he's in the hot springs, and Chris gets a lot of shots of his ass thanks to his style of skating being highly sexual in nature.

131* In ''ComicBook/BirdsOfPrey: Manhunt'', Black Canary and Huntress both identify that a masked criminal is also the ManipulativeBastard KavorkaMan who seduced them both at different times when CCTV footage of his getaway happens to show a closeup of his butt.
132* ''Franchise/GreenLantern'': Hal Jordan [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FpdhuwjWIAIn74Y?format=jpg&name=medium has a really nice ass]].
133* ComicBook/{{Nightwing}} isn't the only male superhero to get it. But he's the one who gets it the most. That infamous ComicBook/SecretSix panel? [[http://www.flickr.com/photos/deense/4713693113/ The artist even wrote "Hot" when she signed it!]]
134** Nicola Scott, responsible for that picture, in general, loves her male ass shots, as seen in ComicBook/{{Earth 2}}.
135** Hilariously lampshaded in his ''ComicBook/{{Grayson}}'' solo series when a bunch of girls name Dick's butt cheeks "Jim" and "Juan" respectively. Dick, who's trying to teach the girls, is perplexed as to [[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/09/e2/d3/09e2d38cf4bfb2d22e2fbf9a4c1a2d34.jpg why]] they aren't [[DistractedByTheSexy listening to him]].
136** Happened another time in a ''ComicBook/TeenTitans'' comic when ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} has a rare moment of PowerPerversionPotential and uses her XRayVision to see what kind of underwear Nightwing is wearing and discovers [[GoingCommando only]] a "cute tushie".
137* At one point during the ComicBook/New52, ComicBook/{{Superman}} has clothes burned off trying to master his [[LightEmUp flare ability]], ComicBook/WonderWoman is very [[http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rtjfTxpwVx8/VUl0u92Uz1I/AAAAAAAAwO8/2I1S-bqyVhI/s1600/pag.jpg notably interested]] in the background and Aquaman even tries to shield her eyes but she moves his hand away. To be fair to Diana she comes from a [[LadyLand female-only civilization]], and at this point hasn't seen a naked male body outside books, ''she can't help being curious''.
138* Jason Todd and Roy Harper have become the victim of this multiple times in ''ComicBook/RedHoodAndTheOutlaws'' by Starfire and the artist. Jason even spends most of issue 6 in his birthday suit and a big leaf.
139* [[ComicBook/SubMariner Namor]], being a male example of a WalkingSwimsuitScene, gets a lot of this with many comics highlighting his muscular body and serves as [[https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcSitHkjs2bBAjEgn8x1Jd6StYvpo0SwEi61D6TXYhCr6Btq8FAX temptation for poor Sue Storm]].
140* ComicBook/SpiderMan has certainly done enough splits and other flexibility-related maneuvers in skin-tight spandex to qualify for a spot here.
141** InUniverse ComicBook/BlackCat frequently gives Spider-Man the female gaze [[https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcRu-B--5h2GoZOLDZ_pR495gZe__s7cbNkpDtzAL3J58LwUlyCE watching him from afar while he's swinging around]] with thought bubbles about how “gorgeous” he is.
142* ''ComicBook/XMen'': There are a lot of beefcakes that get just as much loving attention as the [[MsFanservice babes]] do such as ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}, ComicBook/{{Cyclops|MarvelComics}}, ComicBook/{{Colossus}} etc but [[MrFanservice the one who gets the most]] FemaleGaze is likely ComicBook/{{Gambit|MarvelComics}}. There’s multiple gratuitous moments of him going around shirtless while playing basketball or just completely naked to show of his muscly bod and sometimes he receives as much ClothingDamage [[https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcQoQQe0ejtI8LCNupBykUYcAZp9CcsPFQEjFhVhLPSUfDYNVzuu as his wife]] ComicBook/{{Rogue}}. ComicBook/JeanGrey even lampshades it to her low-key jealous boyfriend Cyclops.
143-->'''Jean''': I must confess as infuriating and arrogant as Gambit can be... [[EatingTheEyeCandy those eyes, that grin, the body]]-- it takes a girl’s breath away.
144* ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk, despite being usually quite monstrous, can sometimes get close attention from women, seen one time when he lost his MagicPants and Leader asked Hulk to PleasePutSomeClothesOn since ladies were present.
145-->'''Atalanta''': (staring closely at Bruce's hindquarters) Don't hurry on my account.
146** ComicBook/SheHulk herself lampshades this trope when her hunky LoveInterest Wyatt Wingfoot goes shirtless, [[BreakingTheFourthWall turning to the reader]] [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/she_hulkv2_38pic3.gif saying it’s about time her female fans got something to ogle at]].
147* Surprisingly, ComicBook/IronMan has gotten a lot of this over the years, frequently being shirtless or completely naked at times. The cover of Invincible Iron Man #14 depicting [[https://mlpnk72yciwc.i.optimole.com/cqhiHA-cA9wTbZZ/w:384/h:584/q:90/http://www.bleedingcool.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/5105606-invim20150011_cov_mightymen_keown.jpg Tony’s hot body]] was [[{{Bowdlerization}} censored]] which is very rare for male superheroes.
148* Noh-Varr dancing around in his underpants in the first issue of the Gillen/[=McKelvie=] run of ''ComicBook/YoungAvengers''. The Noh-Varr example has gotten a lot of positive feedback from feminist groups as being a great scene that doesn't shove the fanservice in your face -- if you like guys, then it's a bonus, but if you don't, then the scene is still important to the plot and interesting to read. It's also emotionally plausible since he's alone with a woman who he's just spent the night with. Kieron Gillen has stated that this was his intention and that there's a real imbalance between sexy female characters and sexy male characters (also pointing out that "sexy" doesn't have to be "sexist").
149* During Chelsea Cain's run on ''ComicBook/{{Mockingbird}}'', Bobbi Morse would often find herself teaming up with her ex-husband Clint or current fling, Lance Hunter, and both of them tended to be shirtless. In one issue, Lance was, in fact, shirtless in bondage gear. And then he later appeared completely naked (complete with censor bar). Cain has explained that the entire book is through the lens of Bobbi and since she is an unreliable narrator, she remembers things a bit more...female gaze-y.
150* ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogIDW'': In issue #2, while Sonic and Amy argue over whether he should join the Resistance or do his own thing, the previously neutral viewpoint suddenly switches to Amy's, in what can only be described as the comic book version of an AnimationBump. Suddenly there are three times as many layers of shading than before as the golden rays of the setting sun highlight all the shades of Sonic's fur as he proudly declares that he lives free in his own way. Amy is ''flushed and sweating''. And then she shakes herself off it and the art turns back to normal.
151-->'''Amy:''' ♥Siiiiiiiigh--♥
152[[/folder]]
153
154[[folder:Fan Works]]
155* ''Fanfic/AdviceAndTrust'': Asuka often finds herself looking Shinji over, especially his backside (and declaring him yummy).
156* ''Fanfic/BecomingLifprasir'': When she suspects there is something going on between Astrid and Hiccup/Cattongue, Astrid's mother is quick to comment on his ass (much to Astrid's disgust).
157* ''Fanfic/TheMythOfLinkAndZeldaBreathOfTheWild'': While Link and Zelda are exploring the grassy plain near Hyrule Castle, Link relaxes [[ShirtlessScene without a shirt]]. Zelda can't help herself but steal glances and even take a few pictures of him while she's at it. And Link is fully aware of it, and lets her do so. [[MaleGaze He also helps himself to a few glances at her curves.]]
158* ''Fanfic/CrimsonAndEmerald'': Fuyumi notes how hard it is being a lesbian when she looks at Mirko's bare and shapely legs and cute tail.
159* ''Fanfic/ACrownOfStars'':
160** When Shinji gets naked in front of her, Asuka spends a good while blushing and gazing studiously at his body and taking note of the size of his "equipment".
161** [[OriginalCharacter Ching]] is very appreciative of Bir’s backside.
162* ''Fanfic/DoingItRightThisTime'': When Shinji tries new clothes Asuka spends a while thinking of how yummy he looks.
163* ''Manga/{{Evangelion 303}}'': Although the author is male, the male characters provide plenty fanservice in this doujin (not so much as the female characters, though).
164* The author of ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'' fanfic ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11886910/1/Gankona-Unnachgiebig-Unità Gankona, Unnachgiebig, Unità]]'' sure went out of her way to describe Italy, [[{{Bishounen}} an attractive guy]], dressed as Sailor Moon.
165* ''WesternAnimation/Frozen2013'': Given the fact that Queen Elsa's ice dress was already a good example of MaleGaze, it's not surprising that [[RuleSixtyThree fanart of her as a boy]] tend to give her male counterpart this treatment. [[http://static.tumblr.com/8f3e4643fa1cd38fcc93a277177e55ee/rpw4ylu/rqtmzde3j/tumblr_static_frozen_genderbend2icon.png The cold never bothered him anyway.]]
166* ''Fanfic/{{Greenfire}}'': When Greenfire gives Rarity a ride over a cliff, she's very appreciative of his rippling, warm muscles that she's almost in full-body contact with.
167* ''Fanfic/GuardiansWizardsAndKungFuFighters'':
168** During one of Will's dates with Matt, the narration notes that she keeps [[CovertPervert checking out his butt when he's not looking]].
169** A female on female example has Jade (who has just come to the conclusion that she's a lesbian) peering at Irma's cleavage as she sits up from their table and then watching her rear as she walks away.
170* ''Fanfic/HellsisterTrilogy'': When [[ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} Kara]] and her boyfriend Dev are taking pictures from each other wearing swimwear, Kara insists that he shows his butt off, stating "Women have needs, too".
171* ''Fanfic/{{HERZ}}'': In chapter 3 [[StalkerWithACrush Kurumi]] is constantly checking Shinji’s behind as he trains his aim.
172-->''She handed over the two clips to a blushing Ikari Shinji. Her eyes followed his behind as he walked towards the firing point.''
173* ''Fanfic/LastChildOfKrypton'': The female characters –Misato, Ritsuko… and above all Asuka- constantly ogle to Shinji’s muscular body.
174* ''Fanfic/MrAndMrsGold'': During their SlumberParty, a slightly drunk Rose asks Mr. Gold to pick up one of her books off the floor, only to get cat-calls from the others when he does.
175--> '''Rose''': Told you guys… And he’s all mine.
176* Throughout ''Fanfic/MyImmortal'', Ebony checks out every hot guy she meets. She has a very specific fetish -- mainly, looking like [[Music/MyChemicalRomance Gerard Way]]. Lucky for her, [[TextualCelebrityResemblance every hot male looks identical to Gerard Way]], which must get very confusing. She never checks out girls, however, despite a throwaway mention of her being bisexual.
177* ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' fanfic writers frequently have Hinata Hyuga do this with Naruto... but the kicker is that with her Byukugan (XRayVision), she can see more, and far less obvious than most.
178* In ''Fanfic/OnceMoreWithFeeling'', several scenes focus on Asuka ogling to Shinji.
179-->Oh come on Asuka… we both know how you kept glancing at him yesterday during training, with him in that tight fitting dance getup as he built up a sweat-
180* The Shining Armor Arc of the ''Fanfic/PonyPOVSeries'' has an example played for laughs. After Shining receives a GroinAttack from [[GeneralRipper General-Admiral Makarov]] (the BigBad of the arc) during their first fight, Minuette seems a little ''too'' eager to help the ship's doctor examine the bruising.
181* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13226631/1/Shigeko-Kageyama-AKA-Mob Shigeko Kageyama AKA Mob]]'' is a ''Webcomic/MobPsycho100'' gender swap and as such the main character, Mob, is a fourteen-year-old girl surrounded by a mostly male cast. So much female gaze. Understandable since she's going through puberty and has a terrible habit of staring.
182* ''Fanfic/SOE2LoneHeirOfKrypton'': Asuka's point of view often focuses on Shinji's body, especially if he is half-naked, wearing a tight suit, or sweating.
183* In Page 23 of ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls1998'' episode "The Boys Are Back In Town" ([[http://kuraikitsune13.deviantart.com/art/The-Ultimate-Fight-RRB-Manga-Pg-23-297108395 manga fan-version]]), Blossom is shown to be staring at a certain place after she pulls Brick's pants down in an effort to embarrass him. She's just hovering there, smiling and blushing...
184* Kanin in ''Fanfic/TheTaintedGrimoire'' has, on at least one occasion, checked Luso out when he was training, in just swimming trunks.
185* In ''Fanfic/WeissReacts'', [[MrFanservice Jaune]] is a victim of this, as opposed to his CasanovaWannabe canon portrayal. The poor guy ends up having at least half the cast in his UnwantedHarem.
186[[/folder]]
187
188[[folder:Films -- Animated]]
189* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}}'' when Shang goes [[ShirtlessScene shirtless]] for the TrainingFromHell sequence, the titular SweetPollyOliver is [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KMX5zkYnGB0&t=30s notably interested]] being the only soldier not looking straight forward.
190* In ''WesternAnimation/Shrek2'' when the titular ogre is changed into a handsome man, the three maidens gasp in delight when his usual pants [[WardrobeMalfunction prove to be too big for him]].
191* Played for laughs in ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon2'' with Ruffnut constantly focusing on Eret's (lovingly detailed) biceps during action scenes.
192* In ''WesternAnimation/ParaNorman'' Courtney’s eyes pan up as the muscular Mitch as he answers the door in nothing but a towel.
193%%* ''WesternAnimation/{{Madagascar}}'' certainly did this on purpose when they introduced Moto-Moto, who's a hippo just like Gloria.
194* ''WesternAnimation/TheRoadToElDorado'': when Miguel and Tulio are changing into their god garments [[https://64.media.tumblr.com/78d695e984d69310715aab9f0d2f5fe8/tumblr_my3cx3tbHq1rjquieo9_250.gifv they notice Chel is sitting in corner watching them intently, Tulio says “Do you mind?” and she responds “No”]]. Even when Tulio nags Chel to leave she still [[https://66.media.tumblr.com/bac60b534dcbf324ac06f76efcbd6897/tumblr_pxa7w1qRPf1tzqospo1_400.gifv takes one last peek from the curtain]].
195* In ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'', when Robaire is introduced onstage at the 4*Town concert it starts with a shot of his hands clasped in front of his crotch before panning up to his face.
196[[/folder]]
197
198[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
199* ''Film/BatmanForever'' and especially ''Film/BatmanAndRobin'', would provide the audience with loving close-ups of the dynamic duo's chest, crotch and rear every time they suited up. Either it's an example of the Female Gaze or of the ([[{{Pun}} Male Gays]]?). Considering how {{Camp}} the Batman movies had become by this point, it could be hard to tell, though considering that ''Film/BatmanForever'' and ''Film/BatmanAndRobin'' were directed by Creator/JoelSchumacher, it's probably [[AuthorAppeal the latter]].
200* Serves to stir up some UnresolvedSexualTension in ''Film/TheBlueLagoon'' when Richard notices Emmeline staring at him intently for reasons neither he nor she can really understand at first.
201-->'''Richard''': What're you looking at?\
202'''Emmeline''': Your muscles.
203* After Lola meets Sam in ''Film/ConfessionsOfATeenageDramaQueen'' he walks away, and the camera briefly focuses on his butt.
204* Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse:
205** In ''Film/ManOfSteel'', when Superman is saving the people from the oil tanker, the camera goes down to show off Cavill's pecs.
206** ''Film/{{Wonder Woman|2017}}'' has an InUniverse example when Diana comes across Steve Trevor having a bath, she gets very distracted due to never having seen a naked man before and questions if he's a typical example of his sex. Of course Steve being played by Creator/ChrisPine helps matters.
207** The entire fight of Clark/Superman vs. the League members in ''Film/{{Justice|League 2017}} [[Film/ZackSnydersJusticeLeague League]]'' is this for Creator/HenryCavill, who's barechested during the whole scene.
208* The ''Film/SpiderManTrilogy''. Well, of course. We're talking about a muscular young dude who wears a skintight outfit and is unbelievably agile.
209* The ''Film/{{Twilight}}'' films. [[WalkingShirtlessScene Jacob]]. 'Nuff said.
210** The first film has the least of this ([[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness Jacob wears a shirt for the whole movie!]]), which is ironic seeing how it was the only one directed by a woman.
211* As if any girl can watch ''Film/{{Labyrinth}}'' without staring at Music/DavidBowie's… incredibly tight pants.
212** In her review of the movie, WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick warns her [[PeripheryDemographic teenage male audience]] that most of her jokes will be centered around lusting after "The Area".
213* In the film ''Film/{{Sunshine}}'', there's a nice scene of [[Creator/CillianMurphy Capa]] getting into his space suit which is clearly {{fanservice}}.
214* In ''Film/TheBlackHole'', a POV shot lingers on Charlie Pizer's jumpsuit-clad butt as he climbs down a ladder to disembark from the '' Palomino''.
215* In ''Film/SpaceJam'' when Bugs is HulkingOut after taking "Michael's special stuff" (actually just water), [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kbaKze622Kg&t=38s Lola utters a soft "Wow!" looking at him]]. Even Daffy is impressed, complimenting Bugs' deltoids.
216* Shows up briefly in ''Film/WhyDidIGetMarried''. After a character's husband, who pretty much defines "bastard" [[spoiler:tells her he's leaving her for her friend and walks off]] she starts over in a new town. Thankfully, there is a handsome, sensitive Christian sheriff around, who also has a nice butt judging by the scene where he climbs up on a ladder and Sheila finds herself staring. We get a POV shot.
217* ''Film/WhatWomenWant'' has Creator/MelGibson's character taking advantage of hearing a woman's inner monologue about repeatedly looking at his crotch to do whatever he can to make her do it again.
218* Creator/ChrisEvans in ''Film/FantasticFour2005'', which has him naked and in an impromptu sauna after his powers burn all his clothes off.
219** His film debut in ''Film/NotAnotherTeenMovie'' has him attempting to invoke this with Janey by wearing a [[Film/VarsityBlues a whipped-cream bikini]].
220* For a franchise centered around the traditionally male medium of comic books, the ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'' finds a lot of opportunities to [[http://www.cinemablend.com/news/1606670/new-marvel-video-compiles-every-steamy-shirtless-scene-in-the-mcu show off]] their male leads:
221** ''Film/IronMan'': There's the extended, multiple-angle montage of a filthy, disheveled Robert Downey Jr. dressed in a thin, skimpy tank top and flexing perfectly sculpted, wiry arms while lifting and hammering pieces of metal and sweating in the extremely, ''extremely'' flattering fiery forge-light.
222** ''Film/{{Thor}}'': Chris Hemsworth was already quite easy on the eyes. Add in a ShirtlessScene and him wrestling in the mud and you can hear the girls {{Squee}}ing from miles away.
223** ''Film/ThorTheDarkWorld'': The sequel decided to give us a long, slow pan up Chris Hemsworth's glistening abs and pecs as he sponge bathes himself against a sunset.
224** ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger'': Creator/ChrisEvans again. It lampshades in InUniverse his great physique in the first scene of Cap's newly-gained muscles, where love interest Peggy looks like she's going to faint and narrowly stops herself from trying to touch his chest... [[ThrowItIn which wasn't scripted]].
225** ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier'':
226*** There is a ShirtlessScene with the Winter Soldier...that quickly veers into FanDisservice territory.
227*** On the more positive side, we have Chris Evans and Anthony Mackie jogging around the National Mall with extremely tight T-shirts on that quite lovingly show off their physiques.
228** ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'', which challenges ''Film/MagicMike''[='=]s hold on the title, "Female Gaze, The Movie." Where to start?
229*** It introduces Captain America with a lingering shot of Chris Evans' ass as he pummels a punching bag (and throws in a few more ass -- or full-body -- shots later on when he's dressed in his tight, colorful suit whose pattern immediately draws the eye to his shoulder-to-waist ratio);
230*** Devotes a noticeable chunk of screentime to several unnecessary, loving pans over Chris Hemsworth's biceps, triceps, and deltoids and centers a large number of shots on his long, luscious, disheveled golden hair;
231*** Has Jeremy Renner constantly posing and aiming a bow while in a skintight, sleeveless outfit that shows off his ass and arms pretty much every time he moves;
232*** And has a scene focusing on a completely naked, CarpetOfVirility-sporting Mark Ruffalo whose only concession to modesty is a conveniently-placed bit of rubble in the foreground (not to mention all the earlier scenes of him with rolled-up sleeves and an open collar)
233*** And if you move from that baser titillation to the numerous tight close-ups of Robert Downey Jr.'s dark, silver-streaked hair, dashing, neatly-trimmed goatee, and enormous brown anime eyes framed by lashes of extension-scale length and thickness; and a pale, piercing-eyed Tom Hiddleston in sleek black hair, wearing either an elaborate, elegant green-and-gold robe and helmet, or a ridiculously sharp suit and overcoat; and you've got one of the most eye-candy-heavy superhero movies ever made.
234** In ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy2014'', the male lead is introduced, headphones on, with a tight shot of some slick Music/ElvisPresley inspired hip movements. Later on, there's an extended scene of him shirtless and displaying his ripped physique while being sprayed in an orange fluid. In-universe it's supposed to be prison disinfectant, but everyone in the audience knows it's really for fanservice. Chris Pratt actually dropped ''60 pounds'' to play the role, good on him.
235** ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'' has one show of Cap grabbing onto a helicopter and a building, which looks like it was staged to show off as many of Evans' pecs as possible. Apparently, Evans originally showed up on set wearing a jacket and Creator/TheRussoBrothers made him wear a much tighter T-shirt to properly show off his massive biceps and triceps.
236** ''Film/{{Doctor Strange|2016}}'' (already played by fangirl magnet Creator/BenedictCumberbatch) is shirtless for no clear reason while he shaves off his BeardOfSorrow. Later scenes involve him sparring with Mordo (played by the very handsome Chiwetel Ejiofor) in sleeveless tops that do an excellent job showing off their upper arms.
237** ''Film/ThorRagnarok'': Chris Hemsworth has one more ShirtlessScene. Another!
238** ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming'' Tom Holland's Spider-Man shows that he's got ClarkKentOutfit as he strips down to his boxers to show off his abs.
239** ''Film/AntMan1'' has a shirtless Scott Lang tending to his wounds. Everyone has seen Creator/PaulRudd shirtless before, but [[DyeingForYourArt never like this]]. This is also true for InUniverse, as Hope, his SexyMentor briefly checks out his chiselled abs and obliques, before actually telling him what she was about to say (that Hank is looking for him). [[Film/AntManAndTheWasp The sequel]] has a montage of Scott killing time while under house arrest for [[Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar violating the Sokovia Accords]] and one of the moments shown is when he goes for a bath and we see him shirtless again, possibly just to show the audience that Rudd has hit the gym again to get back in [[HeroicBuild Superhero shape]].
240** ''Film/BlackPanther2018'': The water fight scene invokes this -- one girl in the theaters actually broke her retainer when Michael B Jordan's Killmonger takes off his shirt to show his tally marks.
241** Another InUniverse example happens in ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'' as Gamora takes [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=09epUInpFsg&t=97s particular interest]] in Thor's muscular arms, feeling them and saying it's like they are made of "[[PardonMyKlingon Cotati metal fibers]]". She only stops touching his arms when her increasingly jealous boyfriend Star-Lord asks her to stop.
242*** To be fair to Gamora, Drax also [[EvenTheGuysWantHim exclaimed]] over the Hemsworth god-bod.
243** As already mentioned in the page quote, the discussion in ''Film/AvengersEndgame'' about Captain America's Ass. This even warrants a bit of [[DistractedByMyOwnSexy approval from Steve Rogers himself]] later on:
244--->''[While 2012 Cap is lying face-first on the ground...]''\
245'''Rogers:''' ...That ''is'' America's Ass.
246** ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome'' has a hilariously lampshaded moment where LoveInterest Michelle aka MJ is in Peter's room and he needs to change into his Night Monkey stealth suit. Peter takes his top off, revealing his abs which she clearly appreciates, but Peter urges her to turn around so he can get fully changed. She complies respectfully but Michelle then [[CovertPervert sneakily looks over her shoulder]] after a while.
247** ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'' has MJ help Peter get out of his Spider-Man suit, and followed by a hilarious gag [[NotWhatItLooksLike of Aunt May and Happy believing the young couple was about to have sex]], but the scene also shows off how much Holland has bulked up (after having to slim down for ''[[Film/Cherry2021 Cherry]]''). And we also get to see Creator/JamieFoxx without clothes and he is as much of a {{hunk}} as most MCU leads. [[spoiler:The movie also brought back Creator/TobeyMaguire and Creator/AndrewGarfield, who [[DyeingForYourArt had to get in shape for the movie]] and put on their skintight Spider-Man outfits too, to the point that Holland actually believed one of them had a fake butt (whether or not that is true is a different discussion).]]
248** ''Film/ShangChiAndTheLegendOfTheTenRings'' opens with the titular Shang-Chi [[WorkoutFanservice working out in the morning without much clothes on]].
249** ''Film/DoctorStrangeInTheMultiverseOfMadness'': Stephen Strange's first scene shows him waking up from a nightmare, shirtless. Presumably just to show off that just because he is a magic user now doesn't mean Doctor Strange has stopped hitting the gym.
250** ''Film/ThorLoveAndThunder'': Zeus zaps Thor with a disguise-removing "flick" which leaves Chris Hemsworth completely in the buff. Zeus’s entourage immediately collapses in awe, and Valkyrie and Jane Foster go from "Let’s kick some ass" to "Let’s watch the show." When Thor gets some clothes on, one of the aforementioned entourage slaps the podium in frustration.
251* In ''Literature/ExitToEden'', Mistress Lisa (Creator/DanaDelany) has the Male Citizens wear [[BriefsBoasting thongs]] and she inspects their bodies, especially their butts during the Welcoming Ceremony at her [[SexTourism sex fantasy resort]]. Mistress Lisa reveals that she has a [[{{Fetish}} butt fetish]] and that butts are her favorite male body part while she's [[KinkySpanking spanking a nude and restrained Citizen Elliot]].
252* In ''Film/TheCrush'', Alicia Silverstone steals a glimpse of Cary Elwes' bare butt by peeking through the bathroom door.
253* Weaponised in ''Film/Robocop1987'', early in the film Lewis holds Cox (one of Boddicker‘s men) at gunpoint while he’s finished urinating. Cox holds his hands up at her command but asks if he can zip himself up, Lewis apparently unable to resist taking a look darts her eyes down to his open fly, which allows Cox to knock her out.
254* In ''Film/TheLastJedi'' Rey gets very flustered at the sight of the shirtless Kylo Ren and meekly [[PleasePutSomeClothesOn asks him]] to cover up but she notably doesn't continue asking when he doesn't.
255* ''Kamen Rider Double Forever'' has a brief scene that includes a gratuitous close-up on Philip's lips as Maria touches them.
256* The first lines in ''Film/FastTimesAtRidgemontHigh'' are:
257-->'''Perry's Pizza Waitress''': "Linda, Linda, there he is. There's the guy from the stereo store. Do you think he looks like Richard Gere?"\
258'''Linda''': "Did you see his cute little butt?"
259* In ''Film/FishTank'' Mia's gaze, and consequently the camera, long and often lingers on Creator/MichaelFassbender's naked body. Nothing wrong with [[{{Fanservice}} that]], right? Except that she's a minor and he's [[{{Squick}} her mother's new boyfriend]].
260* In ''Film/BadEducation2004'', there's a shot where the camera spends a good amount of time focused on Gael García Bernal's crotch when he's only in his (soaked) underwear. (This isn't much of a surprise knowing that [[Creator/PedroAlmodovar the film's director]] is openly gay.)
261* ''Film/MagicMike'' could be retitled ''Female Gaze: TheMovie'' and it would actually make ''more'' sense. Among fans, it's often called such.
262* ''Film/JamesBond'':
263** ''Film/{{GoldenEye}}'': There are several gratuitous shots of Creator/PierceBrosnan's Bond leisurely swimming in the pool of his hotel. It's a mix of close-ups of his face and upper chest, plus wide shots of his body which serve very little purpose other than to demonstrate just how TallDarkAndHandsome and wet he is. This particular set-up makes Bond appear much more erotic during his InterplayOfSexAndViolence fight with Xenia (which includes two sexually suggestive lines, "That depends on your definition of safe sex" and "No, no, no. No more foreplay") because he's still dripping wet and only dressed in his swimming trunks.
264** The franchise has suddenly gained a lot of this since Creator/DanielCraig took over the title role. It all started with the famous tiny-trunks ShirtlessScene in ''Film/CasinoRoyale2006'' and continued from there, so much so that that's the picture for the film page for MrFanservice.
265* Featured prominently in ''Film/LookingForAlibrandi'' when the students from the boys' school arrive at the girls' school and the girls lay eyes on them for the first time. There are several close-ups of the boys' butts as they put their hands in their pockets, causing their blazers to ride up.
266* ''Film/Jaws3D'' has an example similar to the Robocop one, as during a pushing hand game in a barroom Sean Brody is able to make his girlfriend Kelly lose by remarking that his fly is open causing her to [[DistractedByTheSexy look down in excitement and get pushed over]].
267* The UsefulNotes/{{Bollywood}} movie ''Film/OmShantiOm'' includes a number of tongue-in-cheek moments where the female director and choreographer makes fun of traditional Bollywood 'male-oriented' sequences. For example, the song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKs83ZQxYKA Dard e Disco]], in spite of a number of half-naked women, firmly focuses on male superstar Shah Rukh Khan. The costumes and the way the camera lingers on him as he jumps out of the water are definitely female gaze in action.
268* In ''Film/PacificRim'', Mako spends a good amount of time staring out her door as Raleigh takes his shirt off. Once Raleigh notices, she immediately shuts the door... and goes on watching through the peephole.
269* In ''Film/{{Austenland}}'', Captain East takes his shirt off at every opportunity, e.g. to wipe a female character's cheek. Exasperated, another male character asks why he can't just use a handkerchief.
270* ''Film/XMenFilmSeries'':
271** ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'': Wolverine's nudity when he wakes up in 1973 provides plenty of eye candy for anyone in the audience who might be attracted to men.
272** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'': Downplayed with Professor X since he's more precisely a sensual subject rather than a sex object.[[note]]He is a mild form of {{Fanservice}} because he bears more skin here than in any of the previous movies.[[/note]] In the scene where he's on a rocky ledge facing Cairo, his body position, the camera angles, and the lighting sometimes evoke the impression that he's a male fashion model posing for a magazine shoot. The focus on Xavier's physical beauty in these shots later intensifies the ''blatant'' rape subtext of his next scene because he looks like an attractive ''and'' vulnerable prey when [[spoiler:Apocalypse shoves him down on to a slab and cuffs Charles's wrists to restrain him as preparation for a violent MindRape]].
273* In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tT0Y0WuQHh8#t=16m04s this scene]] in ''My Tutor'', Terry checks out Bobby when [[PoolScene he comes out of the pool]].
274* Somewhat like the Blue Lagoon example above, in ''Film/KickAss2'' Mindy is seen having her first experience with this while watching a BoyBand music video, then suddenly experiencing it in person (along with the ladies in the audience) when she sees Dave changing in to his costume and realizes he's developed quite a physique.
275* In ''Film/IntoTheWoods'', Rapunzel's prince wears tight leather pants that border on PaintedOnPants in some scenes. The song "Agony" also involves both Princes [[ShirtlessScene ripping their shirts open.]]
276* ''Film/GeorgeOfTheJungle'' Refreshing to see in a family film. George is the one spending most of the movie running around in nothing but a loincloth while the camera lingers on his glistening muscles or his soulful eyes. Meanwhile, the heroine Ursula gets the bulk of the character development, drives the plot, and does it in loose-fitting, practical clothes.
277* In ''Film/NotesOnAScandal'', as Barbara reaches out to take Sheba's hands, the camera pans past Sheba's cleavage. Later, while Sheba is napping on the couch at Barbara's apartment, the camera lingers over her shapely form.
278* ''Film/{{Carol}}'': During and after her fling with the titular character (who was the ClosetKey for her), Therese becomes more aware of women gazing at her--and returns the looks. Quite bold, given the 1950s setting.
279* Lacey Underall in ''{{Film/Caddyshack}}'' is shown checking out [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8kC6QeQ1CU#t=43m40s Tony D'Annunzio]] in [[WalkingSwimsuitScene a speedo]] at [[PoolScene the pool]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8kC6QeQ1CU#t=52m10s Danny Noonan's butt]].
280* ''Film/OtherHalves''. The filmmakers film the character of Mike the way most women in horror films are treated. The camera lingers on his body while [[EatingTheEyeCandy the women around him stare]].
281* ''Where The Boys Are '84'': In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sg1cJA2zvJY#t=8m48s this scene]], Laurie Jameson notices Scott Nash's eyes and smile while Jennie Copper's focus is on his "buns".
282* ''Film/TheGleanersAndI'': Concerning film theory, not men looking hot. There is the gaze of the director, a woman, and of her camera, as applied to the film, and of Varda as a 'character'. The French title of the work more easily makes this idea known.
283* ''Film/TheGrasshopper'': Very obvious in a scene where Christine, sitting on the grass at a driving range, watches Tommy (a big, burly former NFL player) hitting golf balls. There's a POV shot focusing directly on Tommy's crotch.
284* In ''Film/TheFly1986'', Seth may be the DoomedProtagonist but the principal viewpoint character is Veronica, his lover. In the wee hours of the morning after his fateful teleportation, as he's experimenting with his ''somehow'' newly-enhanced reflexes and strength and achieving wondrous acrobatic feats -- all while shirtless -- she slips into the room and quietly watches, ending up awestruck and more attracted to him than ever. As critic Steven Benedict notes in his podcast episode on the film, there's nothing gratuitous about how much is shown of Seth's body: knowing how shapely and attractive he is makes it that much more painful for Veronica and the audience to witness his BodyHorror SlowTransformation into a HalfHumanHybrid.
285* ''Film/PlanB'', a film directed by a gay man, is a case of this that overlaps with Gay/Bi Male Gaze. Despite Bruno initially sleeping around with his ex-girlfriend Laura and plotting to win her back from her new boyfriend Pablo, the film is far more focused on the homoerotic tension between him and Pablo than on his relationship with Laura. Many of Bruno's scenes with Pablo show them engaging in GayBravado or [[ShirtlessScene being half-naked]] around each other, whereas Bruno's scenes with Laura are comparatively brief and never show Laura as anything less than fully clothed even after they've had sex. It gets to the point where it feels like ''Pablo'' is the one Bruno really is interested in, not Laura, [[spoiler:which was entirely intentional as Bruno and Pablo both come to realize that they're much more in love with each other than they are with Laura]].
286* In ''Film/AngelAngelDownWeGo'', sexually frustrated Tara stares at Bogie as he sings onstage, resulting in a closeup of his crotch.
287* In ''Film/TruthOrDare2012'', Gemma walks in on Justin changing his shirt, and drinks in the view of his muscular torso before making her presence known and commenting that [[ScarSurvey he has a lot of scars]].
288* In ''Fire & Ice'', Suzy's constantly looking at John's butt and in [[{{Narrator}} her narration]] she says that he has cute buns.
289[[/folder]]
290
291[[folder:Literature]]
292* Comes up in ''Literature/ABrothersPrice''. "Men's Fashion Magazines" tout the codpiece, as it lets potential wives see what they're buying.
293* ''Literature/TheChangeRoom'': Of the sapphic kind. Eliza is described as she looks at and assesses other women's naked bodies in the public change rooms and showers while at the pool, particularly Shar, whom she finds highly attractive.
294* ''Literature/FiftyShadesOfGrey'' dedicates a large amount of page time to fawn over Christian's hotness and sex appeal from Ana's twitterpated POV.
295* October in the ''Literature/OctoberDaye'' series is very fond of commenting on how [[SexyCatPerson Tybalt]] looks in tight leather pants [[spoiler: long before they start dating]].
296* ''Literature/ThePower'': Deliberately compared and contrasted with the MaleGaze. Many of Tunde's scenes involve a woman looking at him in a way that uses an implicit balance of power that would usually signify the MaleGaze. All of this comes around to show the book's overall theme of gender stereotypes having a lot more to do with power imbalance than biology or social roles.
297* In ''Literature/TheRedVixenAdventures'' any description of Rolas tends to focus on his impressive physique, and he's the frequent subject of a ShirtlessScene.
298* In ''Literature/SagaOfTheForgottenWarrior'', Rada to Devedas. She spends quite some time admiring and describing his physique.
299* Non-sexual example: In Creator/JudyBlume's ''Literature/{{Superfudge}}'', when Peter is suffering a PottyEmergency because his little brother is taking his time on the toilet, the only alternative that comes to his mind is to wee on a large potted houseplant. A male author would probably have thought of him using the sink first, considering it's right there next to the toilet, but a female author (or reader) is more likely to recall male movie and TV characters whizzing on trees than to think of this option.
300* ''Literature/ThirdTimeLuckyAndOtherStoriesOfTheMostPowerfulWizardInTheWorld'': Magdelene is frequently described staring appreciatively at men whom she finds good-looking, enjoying the sight of their muscles especially.
301* ''Literature/TheTwilightSaga'' has countless scenes describing Edward's unparalleled beauty from Bella's lovestruck POV.
302* In the last book of the ''Literature/VenusPrime'' series, Sparta spends some time admiring [[PosthumanNudism Blake's nude body]] as he recovers from gill-implantation surgery.
303* In ''Literature/{{Worm}}'' Taylor's burgeoning crush on Brian is shown by her moving on from simply thinking of him as handsome early on, to much more detailed descriptions of his athletic physique and deep voice as they spend more time together. The fact that he ends up training her in hand-to-hand combat and they spend time assembling furniture together and doing other activities that put them in physical contact with each other [[DistractedByTheSexy does nothing to clear her head]].
304** She also very briefly notes on seeing Legend (who dresses in the archetypal superhero spandex) for the first time that he has a "perfect" body that is well worth a second look.

307[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
308!!!'''News:'''
309* In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqAIsmBZbOU#t=0m28s this newscast]], a New Year's Eve reveler [[{{Mooning}} is mooning]] the reporter and based on [[ReactionShot her body language and eye contact]], apparently, she thinks that he has a nice butt.
310* Fox News: Once on ''The Five'', Sheppard Smith cut in to cover a 20-year-old Virginia man who was climbing the Trump Tower and FoxNewsLiberal Julie Roginsky gasped and then [[TakeOurWordForIt spent the rest of the show]] staring at his ass (He was only shown from behind.), and called it "Amazing!"
311* During [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-0W8Ln-OuE this]] postgame interview on [[Creator/{{Fox}} Fox Sports]], not only are reporter Katie Witham's eyes almost exclusively on soccer player [[ShirtlessScene Nani's sweaty bare chest]], she also has the camera pointed at it.
312* ''NHL on Sportsnet'': In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bM323z6rHQ this interview]] with former Detroit Red Wings defenceman Jiri Fischer, reporter Christine Simpson is mentally undressing him.
313* ''Nine News Australia'': In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3fDS_3x8qw this segment]] about how good-looking men earn more, reporter Lizzie Pearl interviews very attractive men, compliments them and she also has the camera pointed at young, lean muscular [[WalkingShirtlessScene shirtless]] men with smooth, hairless chests.
314* During a heat wave in the summer of 1992, Washington, D.C. general news reporter Wendy Rieger was doing a VoxPops interview with a [[ShirtlessScene shirtless]] twentysomething male who was playing soccer on the National Mall. He told Rieger that the black shorts and T-shirt combo matched perfectly but it was soaked with sweat and became unwearable. She told the guy that she thought that his black shorts-and-sweaty bare chest combination was good style for him by saying "It looks like you're well matched here." When she said that, Rieger suggestively slid a finger along his one of his [[http://www.onlineslangdictionary.com/meaning-definition-of/disco-tits disco tits]].
315** When she covered the [[UsefulNotes/OlympicGames 2014 Summer Olympics]] in Rio de Janeiro, Wendy Rieger did a segment on what she will remember most. Those sights are the Christ the Redeemer statue and its 220 Seleron steps, Ipanema Beach and Diego, the bodyguard, which she thought of as the prettiest sight:
316--->'''Wendy Rieger:''' Diego was assigned to my party for about two hours. Just long enough to go "HOMINA, HOMINA, HOMINA!", and then "Where's Diego?' 'He's with Creator/MatthewMcConaughey.' 'Really?' 'He's with the Victoria's Secret models.' 'Really?'". Not that the other bodyguards weren't lovely.
317* ''Series/{{Today}}'': At the [[UsefulNote/OlympicGames 2016 Summer Olympics]], Savanah Guthrie's, Hoda Kotb's and Jenna Bush Hager's eyes, along with the camera are on Tonga's [[ShirtlessScene half naked]] flag-bearer Pita Taufatofua and Hoda and Jenna [[AllWomenAreLustful enthusiastically apply a copious amount of oil]] on [[WalkingShirtlessScene his bare chest]] in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-h8YBxsJjmc this clip]].
318!!!'''Series:'''
319* Honestly, in ''Series/Adam12'', we've got reasonably attractive actors in tight cop uniforms. Then there are {{anvilicious}} seat-belt buckling scenes, and the camera likes to focus directly on Reed or Malloy's crotch while they perform the maneuver.
320* ''Average Joe'': Melana Scanlon said "They took off their shirts and I almost passed out. Holy cow!" when the Hunks [[ShirtlessScene took their shirts off]] for the Shirts vs. Skins basketball game.
321** Larissa said "Looking at these guys, I was like gosh they're gorgeous. Every single one of them takes your breath away" when the Hunks took their shirts off for the Shirts vs. Skins dodgeball game.
322** Larissa also said about Jim Frassetto when they went rock climbing in Scottsdale, Arizona "Jim was getting really sweaty and I have to say [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CGgvPGzUYs#t=2m14s he looks pretty darn good without his shirt on]] going down. It was pretty sexy."
323* On both ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' and ''Series/{{Angel}}'', there is ''lots'' of this going on. Angel, in particular, seems to [[WalkingShirtlessScene like being shirtless]] for absolutely no reason at all. And then there's Spike -- who is the only one that's ever naked in sex scenes (whereas Buffy is completely clothed).
324** In "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS7E22Chosen Chosen]]", Buffy glances at Spike's butt just before she proposes putting him and Angel in a room to [[GuyOnGuyIsHot wrestle in the nude]] [[YaoiFangirl while she watches]].
325*** Which could well be symbolic either of the relationship and respective vulnerability status of the pair or of the fact that a show about a vampire-slaying young woman with large amounts of character drama might just have a reasonably sized female demographic.
326** There's sort of an in-universe and out-of-universe example in the Season 2 episode "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS2E20GoFish Go Fish]]", with Xander in a speedo. While the reactions of Buffy, Willow, and Cordelia are certainly along these lines, the camera shows this in a legs-up, slow-motion shot, clearly meant as a benefit for the audience.
327* ''Series/CharliesAngels'': In "Toni's Boys", after Kelly, Kris and Tiffany are introduced to male Angels Bob Sorenson, Matt Parrish, and Cotton Harper, Kris can be seen covertly checking out their crotches and asses. Bob notices this during the next scene, which takes place at [[ChippendalesDancers a male strip club]]. In the scene, Kris especially liked [[EatingTheEyeCandy seeing]] [[ShirtlessScene Bob with his shirt off]]. Jade Allen the strip club's owner then asks him if his [[BiggerIsBetterInBed butt and package are as good]] and Bob looks to Kris and says "Well, I haven't had any complaints.". Then when they watch [[YouCanLeaveYourHatOn Arnie, the male stripper rehearse]] Kris sees Arnie's butt and says that she thinks Arnie's butt's better shaped than Bob's when she says "Oh yes! It's much better!"
328* ''Series/{{Charmed|1998}}'':
329** Piper and Phoebe spent quite a bit of time ogling Leo's butt as he's fixing something in the fireplace.
330--->'''Phoebe:''' Quite possibly the finest glutes in the city.\
331'''Piper:''' In the state.\
332'''Phoebe:''' In all the land.
333** Prue walks in on Leo in the shower and takes a second to look at Leo and remark "nice orbs" before being driven out by Piper.
334* In the 2003 ''Series/ChildrenOfDune'' miniseries, the Adonis-like (and often shirtless) Leto Atreides II is presented in a very sensual manner by the director. There are lots of close-ups of his PrettyBoy face and certain parts of his body, and the camera sometimes "lingers" on him like a woman's (or a gay man's) eyes would when staring at someone who is extremely attractive.
335* In ''Series/{{Community}}'' episode [[Recap/CommunityS1E14InterpretiveDance "Interpretive Dance"]], Troy has to call Britta out on this because she won't stop looking down when talking to him while he is wearing a leotard.
336* In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vuNHdsSTxE this segment]] on ''The Doctors'', women discuss what makes a good butt on a guy.
337* ''Series/DoctorWho'':
338** The entirety of the Creator/RussellTDavies era. For example, the women in the show are consistently introduced face-first, rather than from the legs up, so the audience views them as subjects rather than objects; the Tenth Doctor is regularly lingered-over by the camera, and almost every recurring male character has had a ShirtlessScene. (Davies is also openly gay, [[AuthorAppeal that might help explain some things]].)
339** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E1TheEleventhHour "The Eleventh Hour"]]: Amy Pond gets in on this when she watches the Doctor change clothes. When asked if she is going to turn her back on him, she cheerfully replies "Nope!" (This also gave gleeful Creator/MattSmith fans a ShirtlessScene.)
340* John Crichton in ''Series/{{Farscape}}'' is given a wardrobe-upgrade to leather as the series progresses, involved in a variety of fetish fuel situations, is hit on by [[EvenTheGuysWantHim a majority of the main cast]] (and raped by one female villain), and is subject to a surprising amount of topless, rear-angle and crotch-level camera shots.
341* ''Series/FellowTravelers'': Hawkins Fuller and Timothy Laughlin share numerous explicit sex scenes that are titillating for viewers who find GuyOnGuyIsHot. In addition to the camera's focus on the couple's [[ShirtlessScene shirtless]]/nude forms, there's armpit-licking, thrusting during anal sex (with a close-up of the "giving" partner's body), toe-sucking, and bare ass-grabbing, plus they slow dance while naked. These are rare sights with a gay couple in a Hollywood production, as the industry typically veers towards ButNotTooGay depictions.
342* The titular ''Series/{{Galavant}}'' may qualify as this, as shots and/or scenes of him shirtless tend to display an awareness that viewers definitely really enjoy seeing him half-naked. Taken up a notch during [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AB13n49voyg this number]] from the season two premiere.
343* Although much of the fanservice on ''Series/GameOfThrones'' is of the male gaze type, there is quite a bit of fanservice for those who appreciate muscular bodies:
344** The first episode has a scene where Robb Stark, Jon Snow, and Theon Greyjoy get shaved and are all shirtless (this was actually done because footage from the pilot was shot months apart and the three characters have facial hair in certain scenes).
345*** The three were even having a personal contest in that scene to see who could look the most ripped.
346** Khal Drogo and most of the Dothraki males are almost all shirtless, as well.
347** The series also shows a few shirtless scenes with Renly Baratheon and Loras Tyrell, who are lovers.
348** Later, Loras "befriends" a very attractive male prostitute who is a real camera-magnet.
349** In-universe example: after the umpteenth time Daario attempts to seduce Dany, she decides it's time for him to put up or shut up and orders him to disrobe. Her open appreciation of his naked form (with her still clothed) is used to illustrate the power dynamic between them; she takes him as a lover but on ''her'' terms, not his.
350** Melisandre consciously invites one by remaining undressed in Queen Selyse's presence. Selyse takes a long look, apparently envious of the woman who seduced her husband. Melisandre goes on to claim flesh is just another trick of the Lord of Light.
351* ''Series/HouseOfTheDragon'': "King of the Narrow Sea" is the first episode in the franchise with a female director, Clare Kilner, since Season 4 of the original series (which only ever had one female director). Kilner discussed in the "Inside the Episode" video how she was actively trying to implement female gaze, in contrast to how prior sex scenes were handled. As a result, Rhaenyra and Daemon's time in the brothel is seen through her point of view, as she witnesses both men and women equally enjoying sex, while her tryst with Daemon is focused on the way he touches her, their kisses, and Rhaenyra experiencing sexual pleasure for the first time.
352* ''Series/{{Hannibal}}'' is a prime example. The show has always had cameras lingering on its aesthetically pleasing male leads, but it really started in Season 3 when showrunner Bryan Fuller started to care less and less about expectations. Here we were treated to Francis Dolarhyde (Richard Armitage beefed up) doing close-up sweaty yoga in short shorts. Later Hannibal Lecter himself is shown naked, tied down in a bondage-like manner.
353* ''Series/{{House}}'' has plenty of MaleGaze, but Cuddy gets her own back with her last fantasy in "Bombshells", with a load of young shirtless male nurses, and a few loving pans up and around House in his eyeliner and showman's outfit.
354* ''Series/InterviewWithTheVampire2022'': Lestat de Lioncourt and Louis de Pointe du Lac are subject to this form of objectification whenever they're [[ShirtlessScene shirtless]] or nude, the most notable example being the first time they have sex in "[[Recap/InterviewWithTheVampire2022S1E1InThroesOfIncreasingWonder In Throes of Increasing Wonder...]]" where the camera is quite close to their naked bodies as it moves.
355* On ''Series/LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnit'', Olivia Benson said to Elliot Stabler "I like that shirt" while he was changing out of a ripped shirt. More likely, she liked seeing it [[ShirtlessScene off]].
356* An episode of ''Series/LoisAndClark'' has Sarah, an accomplice of the episode's BigBad Dave Miller, staring at Clark's butt.
357-->'''Dave''': Wait, I sense... you're attracted to how tight his clothing is across the muscles of his posterior!
358* In the "Pilot" episode of ''Series/MelrosePlace'', Alison starts admiring Billy's [[ShirtlessScene bare chest]] as well as his butt after he moves in, in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2s-k2csGEQo#t=41m04s this scene]].
359* ''Series/{{Merlin|2008}}'': Apart from the occasional CleavageWindow from Morgana or Gwen, the show overwhelmingly prefers to ogle the guys, with at least one ShirtlessScene per episode. Starting with the season two opener, Arthur no longer hides behind a screen to change, Gwaine is gratuitously topless in his introductory episode, and the knights have a tendency to not wear shirts, seemingly at random. Then there's the season 5 two-part premiere, where Gwaine and Percival spend pretty much the whole time shirtless and performing manual labor.
360* On ''Series/TheNanny'', Fran revealed that she'd had constantly been admiring Maggie's male model boyfriend Michael's butt in the underwear ad he was in on the billboard over Times Square in the "Maggie's Boyfriend" episode. Maggie then went on to say, "It looks much better without his pants on".
361* In her ''Magazine/{{Playboy}}'' video profile there's a scene in a diner in which Playmate Lindsey Vuolo is shown looking at the cook's butt. In real life, the butt is her favorite male body part below the neck.
362* In ''Series/{{Poldark}}'' Demelza curiously watches MrFanservice Ross bathing from afar, then notices the married housekeeper Prudy doing the same. There's ''a lot'' of shirtless swimming scenes in the show... and a famous [[https://www.dailymail.co.uk/video/news/video-1472783/Aidan-Turner-scythes-fields-without-shirt-Poldark.html scything wheat scene]].
363* ''Series/PrettyLittleLiars'' has Spencer do a lot of this. She catcalls a male teacher riding a bike and is often seen ogling her boyfriend when he is shirtless and he is very often without a shirt as a form of fan service.
364* Tabby from ''Series/PrettyLittleLiarsOriginalSin'' intends to do this with her recreation of the shower scene in ''Film/{{Psycho}}'', with Faran as Marion Crane stabbing Greg in a shower scene that objectifies him, inverting the MaleGaze of the original scene. Chip filming the scene of Greg when Tabby gets triggered from seeing Greg, taking off his speedo without their consent, naked and leaves for a bit has her angry because it was meant to be filmed from a female perspective. The episode itself is called "The (Fe)Male Gaze".
365* ''Series/SexLife'': Since the series is from Billie's viewpoint, shooting often focuses on good-looking men's abs whom she checks out (though her own body, along with other women's, [[MaleGaze also gets significant attention]]).
366* The Creator/{{Starz}} ''[[Series/SpartacusBloodAndSand Spartacus]]'' series was notable for the way that its camerawork drooled over naked or scantily-clad men as much as women, although it's arguable that it was intended as much for a [[LGBTFanbase gay male audience]] as for a female one.
367* ''Series/StarTrekEnterprise'' [[http://ent.trekcore.com/gallery/albums/1x19/acquisition_072.jpg Had Some]] [[http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-e2fF1R8LJ50/UqPdpEqtufI/AAAAAAAADv0/vgxbLTnRE14/s1600/ENT+Trip.tiff Lovely Cinematography ]] in the episode "[[Recap/StarTrekEnterpriseS1E19Acquisition Acquisition]]".
368* Discussed by Dana Foster on ''Series/StepByStep''; she's noted for having quite an ass fetish and once described her ideal man's butt in loving detail.
369* ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' becomes more and more dominated by the female gaze as the series progress. Admittedly, the entire cast was ridiculously attractive with plenty of {{fanservice}} for everybody--starting around the middle of season two--Sam and Dean spend increasingly longer crying, hugging and being tied down to things.
370** A good specific example comes from "Red Sky At Morning". In it, Dean and Bela end up dressing up fancily so they can attend a ball at which a potentially haunted object is to be shown. However, unlike most shows where the camera would focus on how attractive Bela looks, instead we see her surprised expression as Dean walks down a flight of stairs in a suit, the camera lingering over him.
371** Interestingly, ''Supernatural'' later subverts the traditional MaleGaze trope again in season eight by panning up on Castiel and how good he looks once he washes up after a year in purgatory, but in this case it doesn't count for the Female Gaze trope either as viewer surrogate in this scene is [[HomoeroticSubtext Dean]].
372* In 2004, when she was interviewed on ''[[Series/TheTonightShow The Tonight Show with Jay Leno]]'' First Lady Laura Bush said that her personal trainer has a nice butt.
373* Eric Northman from ''Series/TrueBlood'' at the beginning of season 3. Do we need to say anything more? That's just one glaring example: most of the major male characters are unusually handsome and muscular, and very frequently shirtless or naked and lingered over by the camera.
374* In ''Series/UnnaturalHistory'', after mentioning that he goes commando, the camera is very sure to follow Henry's bum as he walks upstairs.
375* ''Vows of Deception'': Lucinda and Mary Jo [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RhWgAFT9tE#t=26m22s are watching]] [[ShirtlessScene a barechested Nick]] hang up signs.
376* ''Series/TheWhiteQueen'': King Edward IV and Richard of Gloucester, the resident {{Hunk}} and PrettyBoy, are occasionally seen in various stages of undress ranging from {{Shirtless Scene}}s to outright nudity [[note]]the latter is featured in the Starz broadcast[[/note]] so that the women (and gay men) who are tuning in are encouraged to ogle at their enticing physiques.
377* In ''Series/TheWire'', the background character Winona who maintains the Homicide Unit's [[TheBigBoard Big Board]] can often be seen covertly checking out Jimmy [=McNulty's=] ass when he walks by.
378* ''Series/TheXFiles'' [[Recap/TheXFilesS07E17AllThings episode directed by]] Creator/GillianAnderson starts with the MaleGaze (camera just below armpit level, directed past Scully's bosom) and turns to Female Gaze (Mulder asleep in bed).
379** Though both characters are objectified in some sense, the series as a whole tends to favor a [[ShirtlessScene shirtless]], [[FanService Speedo-wearing]] Mulder over objectifying Scully (though it does happen).
380* Pulled off beautifully in episode-- pardon, [[IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming Brave]] 27 of ''Series/ZyudenSentaiKyoryuger''. Before going into battle, Daigo [[BattleStrip tears his shirt off]], and while he does so, the camera cuts to his bare chest several times.
381* ''Bikini Open 2: Celebrate Spring Break'': Commentator Karen Croney [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_Lq-5SvWc0#t=66m0s sizes up]] the [[MrFanservice male contestants]]. Contestant Mike Reda [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_Lq-5SvWc0#t=66m56s appears]] and he's mostly shown from behind when she makes this comment about his body:
382---> I think Michael has nice buns. Ha, ha, ha, ha! I like buns. I think a butt is like the most awesome thing on a guy and if he doesn't have a nice butt, I don't even look twice.
383[[/folder]]
384
385[[folder:Music & Music Videos]]
386* Music/{{Gackt}}'s solo career has been one long courtship of this trope. Whether he's appearing nude in photo shoots and TV commercials, or dancing suggestively while groping his chest, abs, and crotch, or [[ShirtlessScene ripping off his shirt]] in front of cheering crowds of women [[EvenTheGuysWantHim and men]], [=Gackt=] is no stranger to the Female Gaze.
387* Music/CarlyRaeJepsen's "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWNaR-rxAic Call Me Maybe"]] is nothing but Female Gaze. We're talking about a video that idolizes a guy who can't even start a lawn mower, but shit damn if he doesn't something sentence a shirt off with his muscles.
388* K.T. Oslin's "Younger Men" which is the [[MrsRobinson cougar's national anthem]], has the Female Gaze in this verse:
389--> "Woah, look over here\
390 We got a cute little ol' runner to the right\
391 [[StuffyOldSongsAboutTheButtocks Blue shorts,]] [[WalkingShirtlessScene no shirt]]\
392 Whoo! You're lookin' good darling\
393 That's right, stay in shape"
394** She told the audience "I was out walkin' around this afternoon and I saw a cute little farmer standing there with blue jeans on and [[WalkingShirtlessScene no shirt]]! I leaned out the bus window and said 'Honey, you're lookin' good'!" when she was doing the song in concert at Farm Aid.
395* During the Post Show Wrap-Up to the 1992 {{Creator/MTV}} Video Music Awards, Tabitha Soren said she thought En Vogue's [[ShirtlessScene 9 shirtless dancers]] were great to watch and that she found the Music/RedHotChiliPeppers' performance to be entertaining partly because [[WalkingShirtlessScene they weren't wearing shirts]].
396* This line in "As If" by Music/SaraEvans:
397--> [[StuffyOldSongsAboutTheButtocks I love the way you wear those worn out blue jeans]]
398--> Walkin' all around in the big sunshine''
399* Music/CharliXCX's "Boys" as a song is already a love letter to "thinkin' 'bout boys," but [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPRy1B4t5YA its cheeky music video]] [[{{Fanservice}} really puts it over the top]], featuring [[MassiveMultiplayerCrossover an incredibly packed list]] of handsome male celebrities in scenarios usually reserved for women.
400* Music/BackstreetBoys' "Quit Playing Games With My Heart Video" around 2 minutes into this nearly 4-minute long video it starts to rain and everyone is wet but Kevin, Howie, and AJ also have their shirts unbuttoned. Howie eventually loses his shirt entirely and there are several frames of him just rolling his wet, naked, well-built torso on-screen while slowly running his hands over himself. This video is just the most blatant case of the female gaze. A lot of their videos have at least a couple of them shirtless and being totally fanservicey about it.
401* TLC’s “Ain’t Too Proud to Beg” video includes a half-naked, well-muscled man, and features three women singing about their desires.
402* A common feature in Music/LilKim's music videos. In "Fuck Bitches, Get Money," her verse features her (and other women signed onto Bad Boy records at the time) having their hair washed by hot, shirtless guys. In "How Many Licks?" she pulls a man into her car, whose biceps are shown off with a tank top, and much attention is given to his butt.
403* Music/MarinaAndTheDiamonds's "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKNcuTWzTVw How to be a Heartbreaker"]] is an almost four minutes-long video of her singing with a backdrop of six attractive speedo-clad swimmers showering in what seems to be a locker room communal shower. It is also interspersed with scenes of Marina singing with men in various state of shirtlessness on a sofa, on a bed, in front of a brick wall, or next to a car.
404* In the Music/MissyElliott and Music/{{Eminem}} collab "Bus A Rhyme", Slim's [[MisogynySong misogynistic]], murderous rampage is placed over a rump-shaking Timbaland beat and accompanied by Missy cooing at him, "''won't you bus a rhyme for me, boy?''" (to the tune of "Play That Funky Music, White Boy"), making it clear he's only there as her white PrettyBoy novelty item. It makes it harder to take it seriously when Slim is hitting pregnant women in the stomach and so on.
405* In Thumpasaurus's "Struttin'," Strutman offers to walk ahead of his lady friend so she can look at his butt, saying, "Objectify, but don't cross the line!"
406[[/folder]]
407
408[[folder:Podcasts]]
409* ''Podcast/BlackJackJustice'': In "Requiem for an Elf", Trixie and Lieutenant Sabien are examining what appears to be the corpse of local small-time hood Freddie the Finger. Trixie insists the body is not Freddie. The body is unrecognizable because a gunshot to the head took out the face, but the body itself is in Freddie's most well-known hideout and matches Freddie's short, tubby physique, so when Sabien demands to know why Trixie is so certain it is not Freddie. Trixie then reveals she has a bad habit Sabien does not. She frequently watches men as they leave a room, even if she knows full well she won't like what she sees, and because of that knows the body in front of them ''doesn't'' have Freddie's posterior. Sabien, whose previous statement that he could recognize Jack's fingerprints at a glance was referred to by Trixie as somewhere between "creepy" and "impressive", calls Trixie's ability to recognize a man by the shape of his butt much more "creepy" than "impressive".
410[[/folder]]
411
412[[folder:Professional Wrestling]]
413* ''Wrestling/{{WWE}}''. In nearly ''all'' of its entirety.
414* It's not hard to tell who Wrestling/{{CMLL}} intends its MrFanservice to be because even if the fans don't pop the camera will let you know it. Most obvious is Star Jr, whose entrance involves peeling off his pants to reveal [[PaintedOnPants an even tighter pair underneath]] and {{shaking|therump}} his behind. When he takes off his shirt, guess where the camera stays?
415* [[https://www.instagram.com/p/tlaRWwrjuH/ This Instagram post]] by Wrestling/HaniaTheHowlingHuntress says that men who lift weights shouldn't "skip legday," since "Girls like nice butts too!!" Raised to funny because it's made to look like Music/BritneySpears is reacting to WesternAnimation/{{SpongeBob SquarePants}}.
416[[/folder]]
417
418[[folder:Video Games]]
419* A good deal of ''VideoGame/MetalGear'' is geared towards the Female Gaze, given [[MrFanservice how taut and firm Snake's ass is]], even when he's an [[SilverFox old man]].
420** Even ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl'' got into the act. The website's depiction of Snake's [[LimitBreak Final Smash]][[note]]Where he climbs into the foreground on a rope ladder and bombards the stage with a grenade launcher[[/note]] had a screenshot gratuitously filling half the screen with Snake's butt.
421** ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid2SonsOfLiberty'' allows you to have Raiden run around doing handless cartwheels naked.
422** Or the option to take off Big Boss's top in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3SnakeEater'' with his Naked Camo and turn him into a WalkingShirtlessScene.
423* Kojima isn’t done with this as in ''VideoGame/DeathStranding'' you can zoom the camera in on Sam’s crotch, but interestingly Kojima makes this as much a DoubleStandard for when male players do it to female characters as [[WhatTheHellPlayer Sam will eventually punch the camera annoyed]] if it ogles his dick enough times.
424* During the various acrobatic stunts Ezio pulls in ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedII'', quite a few of the female [=NPCs=] will take time to compliment his, er, tight pants. [[HoYay Male NPCs as well]].
425* ''Franchise/ResidentEvil''
426** In ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4'', the camera zooms into Luis's crotch ''immediately'' after he states that he has something for you....coincidence or subliminal messaging? You be the judge.
427** Blatant example in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil5'' as Wesker's NumberTwo Excella at one point gazes [[https://youtu.be/kjObGWEvCYA?t=2525 lustily down at his groin]] after claiming she "has her eyes set on something ''much'' bigger".
428** In ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil2Remake'' there's a "possibly unintentional" example in MrFanservice Leon's scenario where Claire asks if he has any keys in those "fancy pockets", [[https://youtu.be/6xyy7iveJLs?t=36 directing her gaze down at Leon's crotch for an extended period]].
429** In general, Chris invokes this with his extreme HeroicBuild in ''[=RE5=]'' as the camera zooms in on his big ol' biceps and chest.
430* Despite ''VideoGame/DeadOrAlive'' being mostly a MaleGaze series, it occasionally will cater to its female counterparts by not just having some attractive men that include a WalkingShirtlessScene, but the [[VideoGame/DeadOrAlive5 fifth installment]] adding [=DLC=] that included swimming clothes for the men and even sexy Hallowe'en costumes that [[http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/deadoralive/images/d/d4/DOA5U_Ein_Halloween.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20131015150749 shows off the male characters' physique more]].
431* In ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry3DantesAwakening'', Dante's [[https://youtu.be/QgDcaKjz9ks?t=389 first cutscene]] invokes this strongly given he just got out of the shower and [[ShirtlessScene is lacking a shirt]] nor does he actually put on a shirt for the rest of the game.
432** TheVamp Nevan not only ogles Dante but feels his chest up and grabs his handsome face and pulls it towards her when Dante looks away from her.
433* ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'': Probably more so than any other ''Dragon Age'' game. While the two romanceable-for-men female love interests dress and carry themselves pretty conservatively (sensible armor for Cassandra and a ruffled dress for Josephine), of the four romanceable-for-women male love interests one is MrFanservice (Cullen) and the other is a WalkingShirtlessScene (Iron Bull). Cutscene camera angles frequently make good use of this.
434** While sex scenes with female companions (including [[GayOption Sera]]) tend to involve a bit of [[NippleAndDimed nipple and diming]] for two seconds at most, [[TalkingInBed pillow talk]] following sex with male love interests tends to involve lingering shots of the male characters' incredibly well-toned chests, abs, and legs. Cullen and Iron Bull both seem averse to laying in bed with a blanket, and [[GayOption Dorian]] gives his male Inquisitor love a nice long look at his well-toned rear-end following their love scene; a scene that also appeals to [[YaoiFangirl straight/bi female players]].
435* ''Franchise/MassEffect'' has been known to cater to this as well as MaleGaze; while not as frequent as Miranda, Jacob gets some camera-ogling, especially on his abs.
436** ''In VideoGame/MassEffect3'', if Kaidan is still alive and you've been pursuing the romance with him, [=FemShep=] (and the camera) will spend time checking out his ass while they're walking aboard the Normandy. The opening scene also has a female NPC whose eyeline suggests that she's checking out his ass as she walks by. [[http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa335/VivaciousDeimos/tumblr_m0fi5zwTfN1r4nc13.gif This has not gone unnoticed.]]
437* As fighting games have become more popular among female gamers, the male characters with either {{Bishonen}} looks and/or nice {{Heroic Build}}s have steadily increased in number. (And sometimes, so does the HoYay between them as well). Even males who didn't start as [[MrFanservice Misters Fanservice]] have become [[AdaptationalAttractiveness more handsome with time]], attracting [[PeripheryDemographic a rather sizable number of ladies to the fandoms]]. In the ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' saga we have [[HeroicBuild Ryu]], [[SpiritedCompetitor Ken]], [[WalkingShirtlessScene Fei Long]], [[KidAppealCharacter Yun, Yang]], [[ManlyMan Charlie]], [[TallDarkAndHandsome Guy]], etc; in ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'' there's [[TheHero Kyo]], [[AntiHero Iori]], [[ChivalrousPervert Benimaru]], [[BloodKnight Shen Woo]], [[EvenTheGuysWantHim Terry]], [[{{Keet}} Kensou]], [[HeroWorshipper Shingo]], etc.; from ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear'' there is [[KnightinShiningArmor Ky]], [[WalkingShirtlessScene Anji]], Sol, etc. All of them are handsome dudes with nice bodies, and the artwork for the games reflects that. '''A lot'''.
438** Guy takes the cake, as his winning screen in both ''VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha 3'' and ''Super VideoGame/StreetFighterIV'' has him with his (very nice) ass bent to the camera a la [[Anime/CodeGeass Kallen Kouzuki]]. Subtle much, Capcom?
439** And the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GnAkMyprnM original OP video]] for ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters XIII'' features Ash walking in front of the "camera", which lingers quite a bit on his long legs and his butt. It's around 0:43 if you wonder.
440** ''VideoGame/StreetFighterV'' has [[http://kotaku.com/street-fighter-vs-bearded-ryu-is-the-hottest-ryu-1727774068 a DLC costume for Ryu]] that has him shirtless and with ManlyFacialHair. The fandom took less than five minutes to dub him "Hot Ryu".
441* In ''VideoGame/JakXCombatRacing'' Keira takes her time [[http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3rqd2m1bc1qk2gl6o1_500.png checking out Jak's ass]]. Given that the first three ''VideoGame/JakAndDaxter'' games almost catered exclusively to the MaleGaze (mainly courtesy of Daxter) while the series has a large female fanbase it was about time.
442* ''VideoGame/DeusExHumanRevolution'' features female characters remarking on protagonist Adam Jensen's augmented appearance in suggestive ways. The DLC, ''The Missing Link,'' features some slightly gratuitous shirtless time for Jensen at the beginning where he's interrogated by a fully-clothed Keitner who is rather close to him. Additionally, [[http://cdn1-www.craveonline.com/assets/uploads/gallery/deus-ex-human-revolution-directors-cut-wii-u/deusexhumanrevolutiondirectorscut-noscale.jpg the new cover for the ''Director's Cut'']] features Jensen in a traditionally feminine pose (ass to the viewer), showing off his physique, as opposed to the more traditional action-man covers on the original releases (see [[http://i2.listal.com/image/2246870/936full-deus-ex%3A-human-revolution-%28augmented-edition%29-cover.jpg here]] and [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/DeusExHumanRevolution_7469.jpg here]]). These interesting choices could simply be meant to cater to Female Gaze, or perhaps [[WildMassGuessing one interpretation is]] that they're meant to evoke feelings that the protagonist, through becoming augmented, has taken a typically female-occupied position of being objectified and having his body become public domain.
443* ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening''. While this series is already well known for its bountiful amount of very attractive men and women, this is the first game to specifically invoke this trope with its Summer Scramble DLC. The players get to see various characters, both male and female, wearing a sexy swimsuit and showing off a different "asset". [[http://www.r4r4i-3ds.com/wp-content/plugins/rss-poster/cache/6777b_650x.jpg Chrom]] gets to show off his butt and back, while [[http://i40.tinypic.com/yhzlh.jpg Gaius]] exhibits his abs.
444** Also, in the second cutscene, the camera lingers noticeably at [[TheHero Chrom's]] face.
445* ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates'' continues this [[BrokenBase rather fanbase-breaking]] tendence, adding ''many'' handsome men in both Nohr and Hoshido. Among the most blatant examples is the Nohrian BlackMage [[http://amagicrobot.tumblr.com/post/122458476353/odin Odin]], whose Dark Mage uniform has SensualSpandex and a NavelDeepNeckline among other fetishes.
446** Special mention goes to the Beach Brawl CG's of the royal princes: [[http://i.imgur.com/OXm0Tjc.png Takumi]]'s rather nice butt on prominent display as he frolics in the ocean, [[http://i.imgur.com/gu5r464.jpg Ryoma]] nearly nude underwater as he fishes with his bare hands, [[http://i.imgur.com/a962FYJ.png Xander's]] muscular form poses for everyone's benefit and [[http://i.imgur.com/mtizuGr.png Leo]], despite being hidden under a cloak, shows off quite a bit of his toned chest and legs.
447** The Nohrian and Hoshidan Scramble DLC's also get into the fun by having [[http://i.imgur.com/YXMQJq5.png Xander]] dressed as a pirate, [[http://i.imgur.com/tE9ALLc.png Leo]] dressed as a vampire, [[http://i.imgur.com/s3kaC2a.png Subaki]] dressed as a Western prince, and dolling up [[http://i.imgur.com/uIkYwOO.png Dwyer]], [[http://i.imgur.com/RFgBpA2.png Shigure]] and [[DudeLooksLikeALady even]] [[http://i.imgur.com/sB1R0nN.png Forrest]] in ''yukata''.
448* ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'' has the gorgeous [[http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/fireemblem/images/6/62/Mysterious_Man.png "Mysterious Man"]]. [[http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/fireemblem/images/4/49/Mysterious_Man_Heroes_3.png This is what happens if he gets enough damage]].
449* In ''VideoGame/TheWolfAmongUs'' Snow gets flustered in Bigby's ShirtlessScene and female players [[https://youtu.be/WqRMpnBq0Ao?t=984 suddenly]] [[https://youtu.be/uBBX-VZCNQY?t=26 got interested]].
450* In the second ''VideoGame/BrokenSword'' game, ''Broken Sword: The Smoking Mirror'', you come across a female owner of a mining company who has surrounded herself with attractive men. She also encouraged one of the hunkier guys to strut around in a thong; her idle pose fixes her gaze firmly on his butt.
451* In ''VideoGame/SkullGirls'', if you pay attention to Beowulf's...lower body...in his normal stance, you'll notice that he has jiggle physics.
452* ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'', originally marketed to boys, has been marketed increasingly strongly to teenage girls ever since the relatively low-key MultipleDemographicAppeal elements in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' took off. Currently the peak is ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXV'', which has a stylish CastFullOfPrettyBoys jokingly compared in the marketing to a BoyBand.
453* Learning from its older predecessors, ''VideoGame/KingsRaid'' introduced a plethora of attractive males. After the summer costumes for the characters were revealed, [[EvenTheGuysWantHim several male characters even attracted gay male fans]].
454* In ''VideoGame/VagrantStory'', the main character Ashley Riot goes on his adventure wearing about 1/3 of a shirt, assless chaps, and a leather thong. A lot of the cutscenes seem to enjoy showing him from behind.
455* The Drachenfel gargoyle statues in ''VideoGame/VermintideII'', specifically for their well sculpted and defined buttocks.
456[[/folder]]
457
458[[folder:Visual Novels]]
459* ''VisualNovel/War13thDay'' has illustrations from the perspective of the woman beneath or on top of a hot {{Bishonen}}. Knowing it'll embarrass [[ProperLady Ambrosia]], Wildfire even goes so far as to describe it. In detail.
460-->'''Wildfire:''' I ripped open his clothes and began covering his slim chest with kisses between nibbles. Then, I-
461-->'''Ambrosia:''' L-Lady Wildfire! Please.
462-->'''Wildfire:''' Want? You want to hear more? You want to hear about the contours of his muscles? The moans he breathed out?
463-->'''Ambrosia:''' No, no, no!
464[[/folder]]
465
466[[folder:Webcomics]]
467* [[CatGirl Kat]] from ''Webcomic/SequentialArt'' insist she isn't attracted to Art at all... [[http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=405 suuure]].
468* ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'': Guineas's transformation provokes some... [[http://egscomics.com/?date=2004-06-21 reaction]] from both Ellen and a female trooper.
469* ''Webcomic/WhiteNoise'' [[http://whitenoisecomic.com/comic/page-22-chapter-7/ did]] [[http://whitenoisecomic.com/comic/page-23-chapter-7/ this]] to Wren. The author even joked "I'm thinking he [[ShirtlessScene doesn't get to wear a shirt]] anymore". [[RuleofCool Dig that trilobite!]]
470* ''Webcomic/HarkAVagrant'': "[[http://www.harkavagrant.com/index.php?id=26 Goodness I have dropped the Constitution, let me get that.]]"
471** Among many others there's also [[http://www.harkavagrant.com/index.php?id=295 Sexy Batman.]]
472* When Nine from ''[[http://fourfears.com/ Grayscale]]'' removes his shirt and tears off a strip to be used as a tourniquet his doctor's eyes [[http://fourfears.com/comic/104-venom/ start roaming.]]
473* Given that 95% of ''Webcomic/TowerOfGod'''s fanservice is manservice, there are unsurprisingly many examples to be had.
474** The BathtubScene in early Volume 2 gives shots of the abs of Ja Wangnan, Hon Akraptor, Kang Horyang, Rapdevil and most importantly, Viole.
475** Almost every early shot of [[WorldsStrongestMan Urek Mazino]] counts due to his distinct lack of shirtage. He was even trending highly on Naver for a bit after his introduction, which was lampshaded in SIU's 32nd and 33rd chapter blogposts.
476--> Hmm... the hip-hop boy that recently came out had good response although I was wondering if it was okay to send out such a guy... haha.
477--> ''[one week later]'' Hip-hop boy is the most searched word... People... Seriously... I really can't understand your tastes. Do you love nipples or something.
478** During Volume 3's Canine Tooth Festival Arc, due to the [[ProudWarriorRace nature]] of the canine folk, there isn't a ''single chapter'' that doesn't have someone's abs in it.[[note]]Granted, not every shot was of a man's abs; plenty of [[AmazonianBeauty women]] were included in the muscle-fest as well.[[/note]]
479** Meta-example for Tower of God's [[MilestoneCelebration 10th Anniversary]] Fan Art Contest, where the prizes were illustrations by anime-design staff Miho Tanino and Masashi Kudo, as well as SIU himself. SIU's illustration for the Grand Prize Award was a {{Public Bathhouse Scene}} featuring Khun, Hatz, Shibisu, Bam, Rak, and Lauroe. None of them are wearing anything more than a towel, and they are all quite muscular. (Yes, even [[RidiculouslyAverageGuy Shibisu]] and [[BrilliantButLazy Lauroe]].)
480[[/folder]]
481
482[[folder:Web Original]]
483* Played for laughs in Episode 3 of ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'':
484-->'''Yang''': "It's like a big slumber party!"
485-->'''Ruby''': "I don't think Dad would approve of all the boys, though."
486-->'''Yang''': "I know ''I'' do." ''*purrs*''
487-->''*Shot cuts to several shirtless boys roughhousing. Jaune walks into shot in old-fashioned pyjamas and bunny slippers, notices [[MsFanservice her]] looking his way and smiles*''
488-->'''Yang''': "Ewww." ''*grimaces and looks away*''
489* Website/YouTube: [[WalkingShirtlessScene Shirtless blogger]] Connor Murphy [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etJNgWyjCfw goes into a clothing store]] and asks a couple of women for advice on buying a shirt, who then tell him that he doesn't need one. When he performs the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmQtSMIrHsc Fake Shirt Trick]] and we [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmQtSMIrHsc#t=1m04s find out]] that women think [[AccidentalPun nude]] is the best men's shirt color.
490[[/folder]]
491
492[[folder:Western Animation]]
493* Note all of the [[ShirtlessScene shirtless scenes]] in ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender.'' It begins with a hot and sweaty DuelToTheDeath in the ''third episode'' and just continues from there.
494** InUniverse example happens in the BeachEpisode [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhYksNF2Plw with a bunch of girls cooing]] at Zuko taking his top off.
495* [[http://sarajaye.superbusnet.com/Pictures/gditstanley2.PNG Henry]] in ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingChanAndTheChanClan'', though most likely it's unintentional.
496* The titular character's many, many shirtless and near naked scenes in ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack''.
497* During an episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Archer}}'', Archer calls Lana out for staring at his ass in the crouch firing position. She tries to play it off, but the close up shot of his butt leaves little doubt to where she was looking.
498* ''WesternAnimation/BobsBurgers'' has a few lingering shots of Jimmy Jr.'s butt from the [=PoV=] of Tina, who has a prominent butt fetish in general.
499* TOM from ''Creator/{{Toonami}}'' has damn sexy abs, pecs, and legs for a robot. Combine that with [[ArousedByTheirVoice his voice]] and you've got the main reason why [[PeripheryDemographic teenage girls are staying up on Saturday night]].
500* Possible unintentional (it is aimed at younger kids, after all), but Mateo from ''WesternAnimation/ElenaOfAvalor'' is a slim PrettyBoy with the suspicious tendency to have his butt on camera at least once everytime he's onscreen, at least in the pilot (he gets a new, more modest outfit afterward).
501* ''WesternAnimation/{{Castlevania}}'':
502** Alucard’s ShirtlessScene introduction caused this reaction in the female viewership.
503** In Season 3 the camera occasionally zooms in close on Trevor’s biceps when he’s kicking ass and we get one scene of him shirtless lying in bed with Sypha revealing more of his [[DentedIron scarred]] and muscly body than her’s.
504** Hector spends the first few episodes completely naked with a couple shots doing nothing to hide his dong. [[spoiler: Later on the camera focuses on Lenore running her hand up his abs while taking his top off during their sex scene]].
505* ''WesternAnimation/CodeLyoko'' had numerous occasions where Ulrich and Odd, who are both considered very attractive in-universe and out, ended up in [[ModestyTowel nothing but towels]] with at least one of those having them also soaking wet.
506* In ''WesternAnimation/DotaDragonsBlood'' during episode 2 “Princess of Nothing” when MrFanservice Davion is bathing in a lake, his two female companions Mirana and Marci [[https://64.media.tumblr.com/6040c3476ab5618f2992ffcd018a3080/69ebb8d4902ec0ce-4d/s640x960/843de57470aa1cbce0ae71235c107e077e7d267d.gifv take notice]] [[https://m.imgur.com/a/TUNSP6j with the former shyly trying to focus on the map she’s reading while latter contently watches the view with a smile on her face]].
507* In ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'' “Witches Before Wizards” Luz can’t tear her eyes away from Nevareth Bladestrife, the muscular teen prince adventurer of Angstmore, who is [[spoiler: actually a tentacle puppet of the monster Adegast]]. WordOfGod confirmed Luz is bisexual.
508-->'''Nevareth''': Do you need a cape?\
509'''Luz''': Nah, I think I'm goo-\
510'''Nevareth''': You can use my shirt. [Nevareth rips his shirt off and ties it like a cape over Luz's shoulders.]\
511'''Luz''': Yes. I need a cape.
512* Played for laughs in ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'' episode "The Comic", where Sarah draws the comic book character Laserheart in many an anatomy-defying BoobsAndButtPose.
513* In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCJHC070Nvk#t=2m43s this scene]] on ''[[ComicStrip/BeetleBailey The Beetle Bailey Special]]'', Miss Buxley checks the guy in [[BriefsBoasting speedo poster]] when she puts it up.
514* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'': In "Clubhouses", Bebe develops an affinity for Kyle's butt.
515* ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiRabbitTheUsagiChronicles'': In Episode 5 of Season 1, Chizu checks out on Usagi, without Usagi noticing while she is sweeping the floor. And then the second time when she walks with Usagi, Kitsune, Gen, and Spot in Neo Edo.
