* ''Fanfic/DungeonKeeperAmi'': From ''Beryl's Plan'': Some people in the audience of a striptease make some:
--> the crazy dark elf undulating to goblin music and slowly doffing her clothes, accompanied by wolf whistles



* In ''The Takers'', a modern-day ''Franchise/IndianaJones'' pastiche by Jerry Ahern, Mary-Frances Mulrooney's skirt has a [[MarilynManeuver habit of blowing up]] providing everyone with a PantyShot.

* ''Literature/WhateleyUniverse'': Used a few times, such as here:
** ''[[http://whateleyacademy.net/index.php/content_page/9-original-canon/279-hive-part-4-who-dun-it Who Dun It?]]: After Hive walks out of the shower, she gets one from Carmilla:
---> I washed my hair, got out, and dried my hair and myself. Slipping back into my bedroom, I heard a wolf whistle from the living room, then, “My, my, I didn’t know toes could blush.” I continued into the bedroom and got dressed in my jeans and flannel shirt.
** ''[[http://whateleyacademy.net/index.php/content_page/9-original-canon/392-the-devil-s-dance-part-one The Devil's Dance (Part 1)]]'': Hippolyta, DoesNotLikeMen, and has a bad reaction to hearing a wolf whistle at her Halloween costume:
---> Her golden hair was obviously windswept and seemed to bode hell for brushing it out later. Her outfit was ''fur''; light violet in color and well, it covered the ‘important’ bits. Dimly I recognized her as being dressed as a character from a video game, VideoGame/ChronoTrigger’s Ayla. Not to be confused with the quiet spoken Ayla of Team Kimba, Hippy is um, loud, outspoken and ‘rash’.\\
\\
“Oh My God!” said Mercy with a wide eyed expression, “Who talked her into that?”\\
\\
“That would be telling,” replied the Fuub with a smirk.\\
\\
I cringed as Hippy directed her seeming ire on someone whose wolf whistle was louder than the music in the background. “Oh shit, she is gonna moider him,” I pointed to the suddenly moving Hippy and the crowd that dispersed around Akira, who it seemed was coming as Tenchi too, along with the rest of the Power Rangers.

It makes women feel like they are a piece of meat, makes them uncomfortable and even afraid for their safety, and is considered irritating at best and sexist sexual harassment at worst. And just so you know, doing this to men when you're a woman, is definitely unwelcome as well.
