14	* ''Manga/AyakashiTriangle'': One chapter has [[OppositeSexClone girl]] Matsuri suddenly flirting with Suzu to distract her from boy Matsuri, [[spoiler:who's carrying a curse that can kill Suzu]]. After she licks some cream off Suzu's face, there's a closeup of Suzu trembling with arousal. The next panel has Suzu stepping out of the girl's bathroom, sighing in relief.
15	* ''Manga/BusoRenkin'': During the Buso Renkin Seminar omake at the end of the anime's 5th episode, [[GenkiGirl Mahiro]] begins talking about what she wants to do with Tokiko if she becomes her big sister via marrying Kazuki, getting increasingly excited before realizing that she is letting her imagination run away with itself and says she will continue when she gets back to her dorm later on.
16	* ''Manga/TheDangersInMyHeart'': At times, more often in the earlier parts of the series, Ichikawa has to excuse himself to a bathroom at the end of a chapter whenever he feels overwhelmed by [[StatuesqueStunner Yamada]].

20	* ''ComicStrip/DykesToWatchOutFor'': After being turned down for sex by her husband Stuart (due to baby-related exhaustion), Sparrow gets up. When asked where she's going, she says, with full quote marks, "To 'take a shower'".

22
23	[[folder:Fanfic]]
24	* In ''Fanfic/ThousandShinji'', when Rei tells how Asuka dragged her into the shower to wash her body personally, Shinji and Touji excused to the bathroom for a few minutes.
25	-->Asuka had more or less dragged her into the shower before coming shopping, something that had soured her mood somewhat. Especially the enforced use of soap.\
26	Of course, when she had told that last fact to everyone, Shinji and Toji had both excused themselves to the bathroom for a few minutes before returning with small bits of bloody toilet paper stuffed up their nostrils. Rei did not quite understand what that had been about, but the other two females in their group had just rolled their eyes while Kaji just snickered a little.
27	* In the ''Fanfic/EmpathTheLuckiestSmurf'' story "The Other Smurfette", Handy, Carpenter, and Mason get turned on by Hogatha appearing before them as a beautiful female Smurf named Wonderette. In fact, they're so turned on by her that Handy says, "If anyone needs me, I'm going to be in the Imaginarium," and afterward Carpenter and Mason both say, "We're smurfing turns after him!"
28	* In the ''Fanfic/HeroTheGuardianSmurf'' mini-story "Smurfette's Artistry", Smurfette after spending time doing a nude painting of Hero (who at the time was married to Wonder) decides to spend some time alone with her new painting in her bedroom, alluding to enjoying herself privately.

31	[[folder:Films -- Animation]]
32	* ''WesternAnimation/CatwomanHunted''. After Interpol agents King Farady and Julia Pennyworth leave Batwoman to guard Catwoman, Selina Kyle strips off and fills a bathtub, flirting heavily with Kate Kane until she's on the verge of joining her...only for [[TheTease Selina to remind her that cats bathe themselves]].
33	-->'''Selina:''' Of course, you're ''more'' than welcome to watch...if that's how you get your kicks.
34	-->'''Kate:''' No, dammit I... ''(beat)'' I'll be in the cockpit. Monitoring Farady and Pennyworth's progress.

37	[[folder:Literature]]
38	* In ''[[Literature/PaladinOfShadows A Deeper Blue]]'' by Creator/JohnRingo, Katya was infiltrating a drug runner's boat by playing an airhead beach bunny dressed in a tiny bikini. Greznya (also dressed in a tiny bikini, this is a John Ringo book) was visiting the boat and passed along a message capsule through a bottle of vodka. To cover it, two of the girls got into a [[GirlOnGirlIsHot cat fight]]. The bad guy who had video surveillance of the entire boat told his boss "I'm sure they didn't pass anything to each other. I ran that clip a dozen times. Maybe more. Zoomed all over it. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to my quarters..."
39	* In Nemesis of the ''Literature/HorusHeresy'', an Eversor Assassin reacts this way when he is first shown the crate of weapons the team will be using on their mission.
40	* ''Literature/RunningWithLions'' - After seeing his LoveInterest Emir nearly naked, Sebastian really hopes his bunk mate Willie is at a long breakfast because Sebastian needed some "alone time."

43	[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
44	* {{Trope Namer\|s}}: In the ''Series/{{Firefly}}'' episode "[[Recap/FireflyE10WarStories War Stories]]", Jayne's response to the discovery that Inara is going to be [[GirlOnGirlIsHot servicing a female counselor on board her shuttle]] is "I'll be in my bunk."
45	-->''[an emergency occurs right after that]''\
46	'''Zoe:''' Jayne! [[InnocentInnuendo Grab your weapon!]]\
47	'''Jayne:''' I was gonna!
48	** Wash gives it a CallBack in the episode’s last scene, when Mal and Zoe tease him about needing to get it on and start to kiss.
49	--->'''Wash:''' ''[getting up and grabbing Zoe by the arm]'' We'll be in our bunk.
50	* The line is repeated by Casey, also played by Creator/AdamBaldwin, in the ''Series/{{Chuck}}'' episode "Chuck Versus The Broken Heart" when he sees his DistaffCounterpart do a sexy [[LockAndLoadMontage gun cleaning]].
51	* ''Series/{{Friends}}'':
52	** Rachael and Monica lose their apartment in a bet with Chandler and Joey, but finally get it back when they agree to kiss for a minute. The two guys then go into their rooms as soon as that is over.
53	--->'''Chandler:''' [[WorthIt Totally worth it!]]\
54	'''Joey:''' [[TakeOurWordForIt That was one good minute!]]\
55	'''Chandler:''' Good night!\
56	'''Joey:''' Good night!
57	** The trope also manifests in an episode where Chandler asks Monica and Rachel for sexual advice. Monica's advice becomes ... [[https://youtu.be/mdK6LVDI3kg rather enthusiastic]]. When Monica finishes, totally orgasmic just from her description, she races off to her bedroom, Rachel races off to her own bedroom and Chandler races off to the bathroom.
58	* A notable example in ''{{Series/Seinfeld}}'' ("The Contest", about the four main characters wagering on who can go the longest without masturbating). Kramer loses his willpower almost instantly, just from catching a glimpse of Jerry's nude neighbor, and while he doesn't say much before he excuses himself from the room, he's back very quickly with his forfeit and the declaration "I'm out!"
59	* In an episode of ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'', Marshall imagines going back in time to stop his 13-year-old self from smoking his first cigarette by giving him a picture of Lily, to which Young Marshall comments, "Wow, she's hot." Marshall tells his younger self that he will marry her in the future. Surprised and excited, Young Marshall runs off, saying "I'll be in my tent."
60	* In the ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' episode "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS5E21ThePerfectMate The Perfect Mate]]", Riker says something close to the trope name after being kissed by the empathic metamorph:
61	-->'''Riker:''' Riker to bridge. If you need me, I'll be in holodeck four.
62	* In an episode of ''Series/SpinCity'', after Michael and Caitlin get hot and heavy (apparently, office small talk turns her on) only for her to leave in the middle of it, Michael sits down, sighs, looks at his hand and asks "So, how was your day?"
63	* In the ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'' episode "[[Recap/TheBigBangTheoryS5E18TheWerewolfTransformation The Werewolf Transformation]]", Amy starts fantasizing about Sheldon growing his hair out and riding horseback "bare-back and bare-chested". She runs to her bathroom to brush her teeth.
64	-->'''Amy:''' I need to go brush my teeth. It might take a while.
65	** Made funnier by the fact that in an [[BrickJoke earlier episode]], she admitted using an electric toothbrush in her "relaxation techniques for ladies". She calls it [[ICallHerVera Gerard.]]
66	* ''Series/HotLBaltimore'': A character who is implied to be gay by his "swish" demeanor and stereotypical gay mannerisms, mentions in one episode where he is "going into the toilet and meditate."
67	* In ''Series/TwoAndAHalfMen'', when Herb is talking with Charlie about rumors of Alan's girlfriend Lindsey doing softcore porn, he excuses himself by going off to "take a shower". Later in the episode, he calls Charlie to inform him that he actually found said porn on Cinemax. Charlie ends the phone call by saying, "Okay Herb enjoy your shower".
68	* Implied in the ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' short ''Film/MrBNatural'' when socially awkward kid Buzz comes home and tells his mother he's going upstairs to read.
69	-->'''Mom:''' Umm, Buzz, this time don't make so much noise when you read.
70	* When ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' did a ''Franchise/HarryPotter'' parody with Creator/LindsayLohan as the [[SheIsAllGrownUp All Grown Up]] Hermione, Hagrid mentioned having to "tame a dragon", while the twins had to "beat a couple of bludgers." Snape avoided any euphemism and just took points away from Gryffindor.
71	* ''Series/DoctorWho'': Creator/DavidTennant claimed in the EasterEgg commentary for "[[Recap/DoctorWho20thASTheFiveDoctors The Five Doctors]]" that after watching Peri's bikini scene in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS21E5PlanetOfFire Planet of Fire]]" as a teenager he had to "spend some time in [his] bedroom".
72	* ''Series/{{Reign}}'': The infamous (and edited-down-by-the-network) sequence in the first episode in which Kenna finds a quiet spot to "relieve tension" after viewing two people making love is presented in a somewhat tongue-in-cheek manner as she races through the palace with a knowing look on her face until she finally finds a place.
73	* ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'': Dean's fondness for {{Filth}} is a RunningGag on the show, and when he finds a vintage edition of ''Busty Asian Beauties'' in the Men of Letters bunker, his brother gives him an extra ten minutes before they leave for a case.

76	[[folder:Video Games]]
77	* In ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'', the Warden may ask Oghren how he feels about [[GirlOnGirlIsHot his wife cheating on him with another woman]]. The description of what he "can't help but" imagine them doing together ends with him telling the Warden that he needs a few minutes in his tent before they continue.
78	** In ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'', The Iron Bull uses a qunari phrase (Taarsidath-an halsaam) that translates most closely to "I will bring myself sexual pleasure later, while thinking about this with great respect."
79	--->'''[[PlayerCharacter Inquisitor]]:''' You shouted ''that'' while a dragon was breathing fire at us?!
80	* In ''VideoGame/MassEffect1'', Ashley nearly uses this line verbatim if Shepard turns her down at Ilos.
81	* ''VideoGame/KingdomOfLoathing'''s description for the "[[Literature/DirtyPair Dirty Pear]]" effect:
82	-->''Of all the suggestive fruits, none is more so than the pear. I mean, just... look at it. The top part, the... bottom part, the... I need a minute alone.''
83	[[/folder]]
84
85	[[folder:Webcomics]]
86	* Blatant in ''[[Webcomic/CaptainSNES Captain SNES: The Game Masta]]'': Alex, in a side story, is told Marle and other characters are kidnapped, and she tells him she will do anything if he rescues them. He runs into the bathroom, thinking about the things she would do with him.
87	* ''Webcomic/GrrlPower'': Invoked word for word in the margin sketch on [[http://www.grrlpowercomic.com/archives/490 this page]], by Harem predictably enough, after Sydney promises to introduce Arianna to {{Hentai}}.
88	* The page pic is from ''WebComic/MenageA3'', strip #319 (June 25, 2010, possibly marginally NSFW), when Gary and Zii see [=DiDi=] singing a French love song in a shirt that's too small for her.
89	* In ''Webcomic/PixieTrixComix,'' {{Yaoi}} fan Ramona reacts to the idea of Julian and Aaron "bro'in out" by [[https://pixietrixcomix.com/pixie-trix-comix/you-can-only-be-an-uke heading off to the restroom.]]
90	* ''Webcomic/{{Sunstone}}'''s Alan will sometimes have to head to the bathroom for some "alone time" when the sexual shenanigans of the main female cast get to be too much for him.
91	[[/folder]]
92
93	[[folder:Web Original]]
94	* Used in ''WebVideo/VisionOfEscaflowneAbridged'' when Folken is discussing the [[MsFanservice Incestuous Bisexual Ninja Catgirls]], and noting what fetish material they were.
95	-->'''Allen:''' Question, did they ever dress up in little maid outfits?\
96	'''Folken:''' Once, For my birthday.\
97	'''Allen:''' I'll be in my chambers, no visitors.
98	* ''WebVideo/TheQuestForGeekdom'': After Arthur has seen so many good looking men in his Top 12 Animated Hunks video, he needs to...take care of something.
99	* Spoken exactly by Nella in WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick review of ''Film/KateAndLeopold''.
100	* In the "Ninja Turtles" episode of ''WebVideo/AfterHours'', Michael feels the need to drop everything and run to Blockbuster once somebody clues him in about "pseudo-porn for women" (also known as ''Series/SexAndTheCity'').
101	* ''WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment'': The Spoony One directly quotes this during his ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'' review, right after seeing [[HotTeacher Quistis]].
102	* ''Literature/WhateleyUniverse'': One more than one occasion, Phase has pulled a DiscretionShot about this, [[BreakingTheFourthWall stating outright that it was none of the readers' business]] what he was doing when he was alone in his bedroom. This is hardly surprising, give that, since he ''looks'' mostly female, he is expected to share the bathroom and showers with the freshmen girls in Poe Cottage - several of whom are supernaturally attractive.
103	* In ''Fanfic/FarceOfTheThreeKingdoms,'' Zhuge Liang has this reaction to Jiang Wei ''attempting to set him on fire.''
104	[[/folder]]
105
106	[[folder:Western Animation]]
107	* After Molotov Cocktease lives up to her name in ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'', Brock-- with a very visible erection-- leaves the room to "take care of something".
108	* In ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'', Brian invokes this trope not because he finds something arousing, but from sexual frustration after he's in a SexlessMarriage with Lois for a year, and Peter shows up the very day that Lois was going to consummate.
109	-->'''Lois:''' I tell ya, Brian, it's a good thing Peter came back when he did. I was ready to push the beds together tonight and take you for a ride around the friggin' WORLD!!\
110	'''Brian:''' ...I'll be in the basement.\
111	'''Peter:''' Doing what?\
112	'''Brian:''' What do you think?!
113	** Another example is fake trailer for a movie called "Masturbator And Commander" (a play on ''Film/MasterAndCommander'') where the commander will be "out in a minute" during a battle.
114	* In a ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'' sketch parodying ''WesternAnimation/ChipNDaleRescueRangers'' has the main male cast react this way to Gadget deciding to [[HalfDressedCartoonAnimal go half-naked]].
115	-->'''Dale:''' I have to go to the bathroom!\
116	'''Monterrey Jack:''' I'm gonna take a quick shower!\
117	'''Chip:''' I'll be in my room with the door locked!
118	* In the "Midnight Stranger" episode of ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPandaLegendsOfAwesomeness,'' Tigress falls for Po's superhero alter-ego and says she "needs to work out" when she catches herself rambling lustfully about him.
