Sometimes, someone will come upon something they don't understand, or simply cannot comprehend. Maybe it's two (or more) people engaged in something so HeadTiltinglyKink that it blows their mind. Maybe it is an EldritchAbomination made of nothing but tentacles and gaping orifices. Maybe it's [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Australian-rules football]]. It doesn't matter. All that we know is that:

* ''WebVideo/HellsingUltimateAbridged'' has [[CombatSadomasochist Alucard's]] reaction to Schrödinger, the [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot girly-looking metaphysical Nazi catboy.]]

Compare HeadTiltinglyKinky. Note that StupidSexyFlanders is a very mild form of the trope, limited only to an [[HoYay unusual homoerotic sensation]]. Can overlap FantasticArousal, but only when a party witnesses it without understanding it, or to further drive home a sense of BlueAndOrangeMorality. Can also be referenced later as a CallBack when we later find the character has embraced this trope and turned it into personal FetishFuel.

* ''Film/{{ClerksII}}''. Upon witnessing the Donkey Show, Becky exclaims, "I'm disgusted and repulsed and... and I can't look away."

* The drawing of a man looking at his [[RagingStiffie tented pants]] and having a small exchange with his penis. [[http://i1.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/582/342/fed.png "Stop it, boner." "No."]]
* Similarly, the gif of a man looking at a computer screen with an FascinatingEyebrow and flat expression, only to have his boner pop into frame with a grin on its face.
** [[RuleOfThree Alternatively]], the same gif except this time said boner [[RagingStiffie is large enough]] to [[UpToEleven knock its owner out when it pops into frame]] shouting "Awesome!"

A.) They have no clue what is happening.

and

B.) It's HOT!

Strangely Arousing is a trope that takes people far beyond the brink of arousal, with no understanding of why. The confusing element doesn't even have to be sexual in ANY way. Nor does the character have to be one that responds sexually [[AnythingThatMoves to everything]]. In fact, the trope works infinitely better if the inciting incident ISN'T indecent. Though if it is, it should be [[CrossesTheLineTwice so far gone beyond "normal" sexuality it comes out the other side]].

!! Examples of this trope:

* In ''Pride and Prejudice: A Latter-Day Comedy'', Will has a less bizarre version, saying, "I find... I find, I find you strangely attractive. [beat] You're not the sort of girl I normally go out with - I mean, you're loud, you're disorganized, your friends are an embarrassment. But I like you, I don't know why. Will you... will you... will you have dinner with me tomorrow night?"

Can overlap FantasticArousal, but only when a party witnesses it without understanding it, or to further drive home a sense of BlueAndOrangeSexuality.
