Good news! You've acquired the rights to remake that classic cartoon you loved as a child as a movie / novelisation / TV series / comicbook / whatever. But hold on; you watch the series again and you realise something. ''Shockingly'', there's [[No Hugging, No Kissing]] - not even [[UST|Sexual Tension]] or a [[Fan Service|gratuitous bikini shot]]. Well that will never do - surely people only ever watch TV for the sex, right? And what'll [[Parent Service|keep the parents entertained]]? There's only one for it: you'll have to make it '''Hotter and Sexier'''.

Firstly, all the female characters get [[Stripperiffic]] outfits while the men get [[Shirtless Scene]] after [[Shirtless Scene]]. Then add some "[[Witty Banter]]" between the lead characters about [[Gag Penis|penis size]], some [[Double Entendre|bow-chicka-bow-wow]], a [[A Man Is Not a Virgin|"manly" hero]] and a [[Chaste Hero|Chaste Sidekick]] who's [[Virginity Makes You Stupid|a stupid and innocent virgin]], a [[Ms. Fanservice]] with [[Gag Boobs]] and [[Innocent Fanservice Girl|no nudity taboo]], and, of course, buckets of [[Fan Service]]. Heck, why not go all the way and [[Marry Them All|chuck everyone in bed together]] and say it's just you making the series more mature.

Unsurprisingly, fans tend to dislike remakes that use this trope for several reasons. Firstly, these are characters that people have cherished since childhood, and it can be very disturbing to see them suddenly start making [[Caught with Your Pants Down|masturbation jokes]]. Secondly, some people feel awkward about blatant innuendos in children's shows, especially when they are so blatant that the clean meaning is harder to find than the dirty one. Third, it can seem insulting to both the viewers and to the franchise. It seems to be saying both that "[[Viewers are Morons]] -- they won't watch a show unless it has sex in it!" and "this show is so terrible that if we don't chuck some cheap titillation in, no-one'll watch it!". Finally, given that the sex is effectively added as an afterthought, it can often feel badly taped on, especially when the content is the result of [[Executive Meddling]].

It's not ''always'' a bad thing. Some creators originally planned for their work to include lots of sex, only for it to be nixed by the [[Moral Guardians]]. Older works that were raunchy and risque at the time may not be as the times have changed, so to keep the same feel the sexual themes are exaggerated more than the original. As a result, when the work gets remade in a new, less restrictive media (such as [[The Movie|TV to film]], or [[Anime First|anime to manga]]), the creator can restore what was cut before, with the advantage that this time, the content is properly integrated with the story.

It's not always bad when applied to costumes either. Sure, most of the time it's disheartening or trashy, but sometimes the design just looks better and sleeker.

== Advertising ==
* The freaking ''Sun Maid Raisin Girl'' has gotten this treatment. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJZcFq8ige8 See for yourself.]

== Anime and Manga ==
* ''[[Battle Royale]]'' started as a novel and movie with a bit of [[UST]] and one attempted rape, along with an interrupted sex scene that's stopped before the two involved go all the way. When this became a manga, however, it gained masses of violent, bloody rape of people living, dying and dead.
* ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'', when moving from anime to manga, made Rei's shower scene (among others) [[Nipple-and-Dimed|more explicit]] by removing the [[Barbie Doll Anatomy]] and [[Scenery Censor]] that used in the anime. The films follow this pattern as well.
* The spinoff/AlternateContinuity ''[[Slayers]]'' manga, ''The Hourglass of Falces'', is probably the closest the series gets to this trope (even if it isn't the series proper). Basically, there's actually a decent plot that makes sense, and two major characters who didn't appear outside the novels (Luke and Milina) appear, but it usually falls under the shadow of the sheer amount of BOOBIES. The canonically-busty [[Genki Girl|Princess Amelia]] gets an outfit switch that includes a short skirt flaunting a pair of panties and has the [[Boobs of Steel]] trope taken [[Up to Eleven]], [[Deadpan Snarker|Milina]]'s outfit changes entirely into a skimpy ensemble, and [[Red Headed Heroine|Lina]] makes up her flat-chested status for [[Panty Shot|panty shots]]. Also, the [[Tagalong Kid]] for this manga, Noa, is a living stack of [[Fetish Fuel]] (enormous breasts, short skirt, and [[Potty Failure|wets herself in fear in one scene]]). Add a lot of [[Skinship Grope]], and you've got one hell of a racy spinoff...
* When ''[[Mai-Otome]]'' was adapted into its manga counterpart, a number of non-canon [[Hentai]] chapters were added, apparently for no reason other than to boost sales.
** Speaking of the ''[[Mai-Otome (manga)|Mai-Otome]]'' manga, even outside of the 'hentai' chapters, the fanservice levels were turned [[Up to Eleven|up to 11]] compared to [[Mai-Otome|the original anime]] (which had fanservice, but nowhere near as much). The storyline was also changed, making it more [[Unwanted Harem|harem-like]], which for the intended target audience could also be considered a form of Hotter and Sexier. The manga adaptation of ''[[Mai-HiME (manga)|Mai-HiME]]'' looks child-friendly compared to it.
** ''[[Mai-Otome Zwei]]'' also levels up the fanservice from ''[[Mai-Otome]]'', with the [[Furo Scene]] in Episode 3 averting [[Barbie Doll Anatomy]] and skirting ''perilously'' close to the hentai line.
** ''[[Mai-Otome]]'' itself is an example, compared to ''[[My-HiME]]'', with the entire setting being built from the ground up to encourage [[Yuri Genre|yuri]] antics.
* The ''[[Eiken]]'' OVA. Yes, the manga still had among other things the most [[Refuge in Audacity|over-the-top]] [[Gag Boobs]] in existence, but the OVA took it even farther. Somehow.
* ''[[Gundam Seed]]'' probably had more explicit scenes than all of the other [[Gundam]] series combined (especially in the [[Special Edition]], where we get to see {{spoiler|Kira getting out of bed after having comfort sex with Fllay, then has flashbacks to such an event during battle}}). Being in an age where the Internet speeds up the pace of [[Rule 34]] helps too.
* The first ''[[Devil Hunter Yohko]]'' OAV had scenes that bordered on softcore porn, like {{spoiler|a [[Brainwashed and Crazy]] Osamu's [[Attempted Rape]] of Yohko}}. However, the OAV after that one were [[Lighter and Softer]] to make it more appealing to younger audiences.
* ''[[Nightmare of Nunnally]]'', a manga spinoff of ''[[Code Geass]]'' that had Nunnally receiving a Geass along with Lelouch, had more fanservice then you can shake a stick at. Not to say ''[[Code Geass]]'' [[Fetish Fuel|wasn't hot and sexy]], but seems like the manga was specifically [[Pandering to the Base|playing to the tune of the guys who read it]].
* While the ''[[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]]'' anime can come off as this, the Pokémon manga ''[[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]'' on the other hand is a ''definite'' example of this trope, giving most of the female characters large breasts and tight, revealing outfits.
* ''[[Blassreiter]]'' was already a not so kiddy version of ''[[Kamen Rider]]'', Blassreiter Genetics does the aforementioned things and adds Nudity and some sex scenes (NOT Implied type, the softcore porn type) for good measure. Yet it had a bit of a [[Lighter and Softer]] appeal to it.
* In the original manga of ''[[Chrono Crusade]]'', [[Big Bad|Aion]] is a creep, but treats all the women in his group with respectful but platonic feelings, and while he delights in screwing with the minds of his enemies, he leaves their bodies alone. The anime version has him [[Forceful Kiss]]ing Rosette not once, but twice (and possibly even rape her off screen), and attempt to rape another female member of her [[True Companions]], not to mention several scenes in which he purrs seductively into a character's ear.
* ''[[009-1|Zero Zero Nine One]]'' is a Hotter and Sexier version of ''[[Cyborg 009]]'', with a [[Ms. Fanservice]] [[Action Girl]] as the lead.
* ''[[Lyrical Nanoha]]''
** The fourth season manga ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha ViVid|Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Vi Vid]]'', which seemed to have been tailored for the part of the fandom who didn't like the more serious direction the franchise was taking, what with it being both [[Lighter and Softer]] and Hotter and Sexier than the already infamously fanservice heavy first season.
** The other fourth season manga, the [[Darker and Edgier]] ''[[Magical Record Lyrical Nanoha Force]]'', is also an example. It eschews the [[Barbie Doll Anatomy]] that previous seasons had and this is immediately shown with the new main female character's [[Naked First Impression]]. Later, when the new main trio gets captured by their enemies, the two females are stripped naked and remain naked for three chapters. In each occasion, [[Barbie Doll Anatomy]] was averted insomuch as the females were all [[Nipple-and-Dimed]].
* With ''[[To LOVE-Ru]]'' as [[Fan Service]]-laden as it is, one would consider it impossible for this trope to apply any further, yes? No. ''[[To Love Ru Darkness]]'', in its first chapter, promises even more fanservice than ever, with such things as [[Nipple-and-Dimed|unobstructed views on... stuff]] and Momo the [[Harem Seeker]]. To say the least, it delivers.
** In an inversion, the first anime adaptation had barely any fanservice, which could be considered [[Adaptation Decay|missing the point of the show]]. Thankfully, [[Surprisingly Improved Sequel|the second anime season was just right on it]].
* ''[[One Piece]]'', where every adult female is either a [[Gonk]] or a sex goddess in her own right. It didn't start out that way though. The most blatant example is Nami, as illustrated ''[http://apforums.net/showthread.php?s=32448ec93fe9512d63a831662a0d9390&t=9362 here]''.
* [[Go Nagai]] is well-known for his risky, borderline hentai titles. Heck, his break-out title was the eptly titled ''Harenchi Gakuen'' (Lewd School). This one was still a shounen manga though and never went beyond being naughty. In the mid 90's however, a reboot called ''Heisei Harenchi Gakuen'' hit the shelves, which finally was a full-fledged cartoon porn.
* ''[[Super Robot Wars Original Generation]]: The Inspector'' is chock full of fanservice moments, including a scene where Excellen gets brainwashed similar to what happened to Lamia in the ODE Incident of ''OG Gaiden'' along with a variety of other fun stuff like Ending Credits featuring the female cast in bathing suits as well as one [[Fan Disservice|with Elzam and Zengar]].
* ''[[Tenchi Muyo! GXP]]'' might be this compared to [[Tenchi Muyo!|its preceding series]]. In one episode, even though it was only a holographic disguise, "Amane"'s outfit was so revealing that even [[X-Men|Emma]] [[Stripperiffic|Frost]] would blush at it.
** This also led to a bit of [[What the Hell, Casting Agency?]] in the dub. Seina's mother looks to be in her late 30s to mid 40s and is a bit on the heavy side, but she has a voice that makes her sound like a woman half her age and thus appearance. Who wrote this, [[Frank Miller]]?
* When Mitsuki Oosawa got the job of making a manga based on the ''[[Fire Emblem Jugdral]]'' games, she managed to get away with cranking up the sexiness in the storyline quite a bit, via several scenes in which the characters are shown either having sex (nothing ''that'' graphic, though, more like R-rated), right after sexy times, or having rather erotic fantasies about their romantic partners. I.e.: the scene in which Diadora and Sigurd confess their mutual love has Sigurd hugging a wet and naked Diadora who had been skinny-dipping before he came in, and they go through [[Their First Time]] right after their wedding; {{spoiler|Lachesis and Eltoshan are ''this'' close to have sex after recognizing their feelings for each other, only Elto's conscience stopping him form taking Lache's virginity and finally setting into a [[Last Kiss]]}}; Diadora's train of thoughts {{spoiler|before being [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]}} includes more than one mental image of Sigurd and herself naked in each other's arms, and Sigurd also fantasizes about her nude self {{spoiler|after her kidnapping}}; Lex and Ayra decide to get married when they're naked in bed and few after having sex (also coupled with Lex showing [[Hidden Depths]] and almost crying into Ayra's naked bosom {{spoiler|after his [[Bad Dreams]] about his [[Missing Mom]] and his feud with Langobalt}}); and {{spoiler|Lachesis and Fin}} have sex right after their love confession (this one is [[Justified Trope|fully understandable]] since they're among the youngest members of the army, they go at it right before {{spoiler|Fin leaves for Lester not knowing if he'll ever be back to her}}, and both of them were ''very'' emotionally exhausted {{spoiler|after Eltoshan's execution, with Fin being barely able to keep Lachesis from crossing the [[Despair Event Horizon]]).}}
* ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni]]'' is a murder-mystery involving demons and survival, with some comic relief thrown here and there once in a while. But after the story being wrapped up in the anime, it seems to be getting this treatment with their fourth newest season, ''Higurashi Kira'', filled with [[Mind Screw|mindless fanservice]].
** This originally started with the ''Nekogoroshi'' one-shot OVA (Mion in a [[Fur Bikini]] anyone?), next came ''Rei'' with the FIRST OVA being a [[Pool Episode]], and then ''Kira''.
* [[Mayu Shinjo]]'s works (''[[Sensual Phrase]]'', ''[[Haou Airen]]'', ''[[Akuma na Eros]]'') are so full of PG-13-going-to-R sex scenes and fanservice that it's a ''wonder'' it was marketed and published as [[Shojo]] instead of [[Josei]].
* Inverted with ''Negima!?'', [[Studio Shaft]]'s adaptation of ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]''. The original is known for having a fair deal of fanservice, but this anime had none. It was still a good series, but it felt odd.


== Comic Books ==
* Wildstorm's horribly misjudged ''[[Thundercats]]'' revival, which included amongst other things an aged-up (but still in their teens) Wilykit and Wilykat ''becoming Mumm-Ra's sex slaves''.
** Cheetara was chained provocatively to a wall in her first appearance, with the insinuation she'd been [[Squick|raped by the mutants]].
* And pictured above is [https://web.archive.org/web/20110718152225/http://www.zenescope.com/bookpages/grimm01.htm Zenescope Entertainment]'s ''[[wikipedia:Grimm Fairy Tales (comic series)|Grimm Fairy Tales]]'', with the comic in question obviously centering around ''[[Little Red Riding Hood]]'' (although she isn't so little anymore). The wolf actually turns out to be the [[Squick|former]] [[Interspecies Romance|lover]] of the teenaged Red. {{spoiler|In the end, this story is merely a teenager's [[Dream Sequence]] based on her fight with a boyfriend who wanted to have sex with her.}}
** Actually, Grimm Fairy Tales is a subversion – sure, all covers feature attractive women in fetishized costumes of fairy tales characters, or with those characters, but stories themselves are mostly modern versions of fairy tales, rather [[Darker and Edgier]] than Hotter and Sexier.
* Happened to second Wonder Girl, once she moved from ''[[Young Justice (comics)|Young Justice]]'' to [[Teen Titans (Comic Book)|Teen Titans]]. [http://www.quietmuse.net/images/wgirl/cassie.jpg This] is how she was looking in her Young Justice days. [http://media.comicvine.com/uploads/3/38673/902156-4_super.jpg This]{{Dead link}} is her current look.
* Alan Moore's [[Lost Girls (comics)|Lost Girls]]. In which Peter Pan and Wendy are watched by creepy old paedophile Captain Hook. In which Dorothy Gale's "transport" in the tornado is masturbation. In which Alice's Wonderland is a drug-fuelled lesbian orgy.


== Fan Works ==
* The [http://davidkawena.deviantart.com/gallery/#Disney-Heroes Disney Heroes] fanart collection by davidkawena definitely counts. Particularly the Peter Pan one.
** Here's the princess version of this: [http://steevinlove.deviantart.com/gallery/23384510 Defenders of the Enchanted Kingdom WIP]
* Go to ''[[DeviantART]]'' and you [[Rule 34| are guaranteed]] to find ''dozens'' of examples of this for ''any'' fictional character you can think of, literally. Be warned, however, you might need [[Brain Bleach]] for some of them.

== Film ==
* The ''[[Scooby Doo]]'' movies. Freddy [[Freaky Friday|in Daphne's body]] [[Man, I Feel Like a Woman|feels himself]]. Shaggy in Velma's body looking up her own skirt too. [[Hilarity Ensues]] in both cases.
* ''[[Transformers]]'' managed to pick up a masturbation joke with several minutes of lead-in, several sex jokes and a rather [[Squick]]y make-out scene in the first installment of [[Transformers (film)|its live-action continuity]].
** It should be noted that one of the ''first'' photo releases of the 2007 film included [[Fan Service|Megan Fox's cleavage]]. Before a single photo release of a Transformer.
** And did we mention that a large part of Bumblebee's pre-battle appearance basically involved him [[Shipper on Deck|trying to get Mikaela and Sam to have sex in his back seat]]? And that the movie ended with the majority of the Autobots watching Sam and Mikaela make out on Bumblebee's hood? The Autobots are perverts.
** On the other hand they did balance it out with plenty of [[Fan Disservice]]. Nobody needed to see that much of John Turturro.
** A really hot blonde {{spoiler|becoming a killer robot}} might be regarded as [[Fetish Retardant]] at its fullest or as [[Fetish Fuel]], depending on your tastes.
** In there is also ''[[Kiss Players]]''.
* Every single Uwe Boll adaptation of every videogame. Particularly ''[[Alone in the Dark]]'', which was changed from a [[H.P. Lovecraft|Lovecraftian]] detective story to a poor man's version of ''[[The Matrix]]''. But with more sex.
* The [[Live Action Adaptation]] of ''[[The Flintstones]]'' had [[Halle Berry]] as Fred's [[Sexy Secretary]], with some lines that went beyond [[Parental Bonus]]. To prevent backlash, however, Wilma and Betty were not oversexualized, [[Rule 34|no matter what some fans thought about them]]...
* The musical ''[[The Phantom of the Opera]]'' was already this compared to its source novel, but the movie of it is even more so - not to its benefit when it means the Phantom has been hit with severe [[Adaptational Attractiveness]] that makes all the talk of his hideousness prior to his unmasking moot.
* Happens with a lot of adaptations of ''[[Dracula]]'', in particular [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103874 The Francis Ford Coppola version]. ''Bram Stoker's Dracula'' is WAY more accurate to the novel than the Lugosi version,(probably because the Lugosi version is based on Hamilton Deane's play, and not Bram Stoker's book). However, the original novel had an old and ugly Dracula. While he did become younger looking as the novel progressed, Dracula was never described as anything close to attractive. Any [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]] events are closer to rape than sexy. The Count's portrayal in ''Bram Stoker's Dracula'' actually destroyed one potential interpretation of the original novel. The image of the dissolute Count (representing unrestrained animal sexuality) seducing cultured/repressed English girls becomes a lot less powerful when said English girls are strongly implied to be boinking each other.
** Vampires were originally analogies to sexual predators, and nearly [[Twilight (novel)|every series]] [[Vampire Knight|based]] [[Anne Rice|around vampires]] exploits this. Although in several examples as time has gone by, it's become less about "vampires as sexual predators and rapists" and more about "[[Vampires Are Sex Gods|vampires are]] ''[[Vampires Are Sex Gods|so]]'' [[Vampires Are Sex Gods|sexy]]!". The Victorian Vampire revival, of which Bram Stoker's novel was part, more or less created this stereotype: 'traditional' vampires were more closely associated with disease than with sex. The Victorian fixation on syphilis might have led to a link being drawn between those two things.
*** In all honesty, vampires were actually originally meant to represent disease and corruption. Tuberculosis and porphyria victims were often thought to be vampires. You can thank Mr. John Polidori, Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu and then Bram Stoker for making vampires sexual. There's nothing sexual about a supernaturally re-animated corpse that drinks blood (and not just from the neck - wrists and legs aren't uncommon) and spreads disease with its very presence.
* The film versions of ''[[Dukes of Hazzard]]'', which took a family friendly comedy series (with a resident, though mild fanservice character) and turned it into a sex comedy, complete with a raunchier unrated DVD version and R-rated direct-to-DVD sequel. Several actors from the original series even went public with their complaints.
* ''[[Red Riding Hood (film)|Red Riding Hood]]'' is pretty arguably a great example of this (as well as [[Darker and Edgier]]), what with all the bondage-gear pseudo-medieval clothing and rolling about in the snow.
* ''[[The Three Musketeers (2011 film)|The Three Musketeers 2011]]'', starring Milla Jovovich as [[Action Girl]] fourth member {{spoiler|Milady De Winter... wait, wasn't she dropped off a cliff in the last Disney version?}}
* ''[[Paint Your Wagon]]'' greatly rewrote [[Paint Your Wagon (theatre)|the original musical play]], adding subplots about prostitution and wife-sharing.


== Literature ==
* This trope has been applied to the [http://inventorspot.com/articles/element_girls_pretty_periodic_table_21561 periodic table of elements] by a female Japanese university professor.


== Live-Action TV ==
* Game shows:
** ''[[Family Feud]]'': Progressively, starting (to an extent) the Ray Combs version, but never moreso than when Steve Harvey became host in 2010. Euphemisms for "penis" and "masturbate" are seen almost every day.
** ''[[Match Game]]'': Starting with the 1973 daytime version, where "boobs" was the most frequently uttered no-no, although double-entendre—many of them euphanisms for various sex terms—were uttered nearly every day. The original NBC run was rather sedate, although it had its share of humor.
** ''[[Lingo]]'', starting with the [[Bill Engvall]]-hosted reboot, has used almost nothing but double-entendre answers. In fact, the show is now rated TV-14 because of the dirty clues.
* ''[[Doctor Who]]''—the original series had a few scantily clad but wholesome [[The Watson|companions]], but double entendres and sex references were still kept a tight rein on. The revival is a bit more realistic, acknowledging that females might actually find an exotic time travelling alien sexy (the recent casting of the Doctor doesn't hurt in this regard). Nonetheless, double entendres have been kept to a minimum, as has implications of hanky panky in the TARDIS (the only confirmed sexual encounter mentioned in the series being between ''a married couple''). Plus the female companions tend to wear much more clothing than their original-series counterparts (Amy's occasional kissogram costume notwithstanding). It's still rare enough that when Amy attempted to seduce the Doctor at the end of a 2010 episode, it caused an uproar. The series has also become a bit more open regarding LGBT characters, with one in particular, Jack Harkness, providing the revival series' only true nude scene and man-on-man snog.
* Not only is ''[[Torchwood]]'' [[Darker and Edgier]] ''[[Doctor Who]]'', but it's also Hotter and Sexier.
* The second season of ''[[SeaQuest DSV]]'' replaced several of the coolest members of the cast with characters played by younger, sexier actors. While this wasn't the only factor contributing to the generally awful season, it certainly didn't help anything.
* The ''[[Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)|Battlestar Galactica]]'' remake had a lot of this, but it was routinely buried by the massive piles of [[Darker and Edgier|Darkness and Edge]].
* ''[[Trinity]]'' is basically a Hotter and Sexier version of traditional "[[Oxbridge]]" set dramas.
* The TNT series ''[[Rizzoli and Isles]]'', based on a series of books by author Tess Gerritsen, has cast the gorgeous Angie Harmon in the title role, despite the fact that in the books, Rizzoli is frequently described as either plain or average looking and with an irrational dislike for beautiful women.
* The ''[[Zorro]]'' [[Soap Opera|Mexican telenovela]], named "Zorro: La Espada y la Rosa" ("Zorro: Sword and Rose"). It's apparently based on the Isabel Allende book on the character, and sexual allusions and metaphors are ''NO'' strangers to Mrs. Allende's's books.
** Also, the Chilean telenovelas based on the book ''Martín Rivas'' and the [[Real Life]] of Chilean independence hero Manuel Rodríguez Erdoíza.
* The Canadian version of ''[[So You Think You Can Dance]]'' notably [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1YeK9xF3oQ pushes] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GoFozOooYg the] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vExDHamsukc envelope] of how sexual dance routines can get.
* ''[[CSI: Miami]]'' to the original ''[[CSI]]'', as the innumerable shots of bikini girls per episode will remind you.
* ''[[Star Trek: Enterprise]]'' was often promoted as a Hotter and Sexier version of ''[[Star Trek]]''. Unfortunately the decontamination scenes, male pregnancies and endless shirtless men came off as more childish than mature.


== Music ==
* It's pretty much expected for all female pop singers to enter a "sexy phase" whenever album sales sag, or their audience enters a new age bracket. [[Dork Age|Even]] [[Jewel]].
** Male R&B pop stars are no stranger to this, either - [[Usher]] is a good example.
* Nelly Furtado's first two albums were kinda experimental pop/folk... then ''Loose'' had her singing R&B/hip-hop, some with suggestive titles like "Promiscuous" and "Maneater". This came with [http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/sunday2001/images/leicester/wallpaper/nelly_furtado640x480.jpg a change in][https://web.archive.org/web/20111113235537/http://static.poponthepop.com/images/gallery/nelly-furtados-big-booty.jpg her wardrobe] - giving birth between those albums helped her body to get good enough for those tight pants.
** As indicated from the photos, Nelly Furtado is quite a mild example of this trope; as critics noted, she did not resort to just wearing underwear or grinding like some of her contemporaries.
* The [[K Pop]] group T-ara did two music videos of their song, "Bo Peep Bo Peep". One is [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_2-IHDxzwY the normal version], and then the 19+ version which is basically [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9403-9CptH8 softcore porn...] Some think it's still "not porny enough" compared to Western music videos going the same way, but then again, [[Values Dissonance|this ''is'' South Korea we're talking about]].
* [[Hilary Duff]] is a subversion. Although some of her songs have gotten Hotter And Sexier (many critics noting [[Contractual Purity|it is a little weird]] to hear [[Lizzie McGuire]] sing lyrics like ''"Reach out and touch me"''), she pretty much still wears the same clothing since her Disney days.
* [[Miranda Cosgrove]] is starting this with her EP, ''High Maintenance''. Note the last track of the EP, as it's just that.
* [[Miley Cyrus]] went there the moment she started ''Party In The USA''.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxVNOnPyvIU Untitled (How Does It Feel) by D'angelo].
* Lovage did this when they covered [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luMoGdwixTM Berlin's "Sex (I'm A)"]. The Lovage version [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4joDAJQA30 can be heard here] and is either Hotter and Sexier or [[Narm]]y depending on taste. Probably [[Not Safe for Work]] either way.
* [[Katy Perry]] started out as a Christian pop singer. Then she made "I Kissed a Girl"...

== Theater ==
* The revival of ''[[Cabaret]]'' in the 1990s directed by Sam Mendes was pointedly Hotter and Sexier despite the show being hardly clean in the first place.
** Subverted: in the Mendes revival, you could also [[Squick|see the needle tracks]] on the skins of the Kit Kat Klub dancers where they'd been using. [[Fan Disservice|Not so sexy]].
* The musical ''[[Chicago]]'' is greatly Hotter and Sexier than the original non-musical play.
* Parodied by the tagline to ''[[Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson]]'': "HISTORY JUST GOT ALL SEXYPANTS."
* In the transition from ''[[La Boheme]]'' to ''[[Rent]]'', most of the characters stayed pretty much the same. Except for Mimi, who went from sweet, soft-spoken and naive seamstress, to junkie S&M dancer. A lot of the contrast between sweet Mimi and sexy Musetta/Maureen is lost, but Mimi actually becomes a more rounded charecter in the process.
** Mimi's number "Out Tonight" became Hotter and Sexier in the transition between play and movie. In the play, the song is sexy, but it takes place in Mimi's apartment as she prepares to meet Roger. In the movie, it's an excuse for Rosario Dawson to do a strip routine.


== Video Games ==
* ''[[Deus Machina Demonbane]]'' is what happens when you do this sort of thing ''to the [[Cthulhu Mythos]]''! To be fair, it still portrays most of what it borrowed as creepy as it's source, and lots of stuff is still freaky and decidedly non sexy {{spoiler|Dagon and the Deep Ones come to mind}}. However, by the same token, no less than {{spoiler|Nyarlathotep}} gets hit with this trope, and you wouldn't believe [[Absolute Cleavage|how]] [[Meganekko|sexy]] [[Bi the Way|the]] [[Creepy Sexy|result]] is.
* The much-documented, "maturing" of the ''[[Prince of Persia]]: Sands of Time'' video game trilogy between the first and second games resulted in [[Stripperiffic]] villainesses who wore [http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2004/12/3/ thongs and barely-there tops], female enemies who [[Orgasmic Combat|moaned and yelled vaguely S&M-related phrases while fighting]], and, as the icing on the cake, many of the statues in the game were of (you guessed it) nude women. Plus lots of blood and heavy metal, of course. Interestingly enough, the first game got closer to depicting actual ''sex'' than the second, although, to be fair, there were bare-breasted statues back in Sands of Time, right from the first level. This is just part of real-world Indian architecture.
* ''[[Soul Calibur]]'' goes through this. Sure. A simple way to describe Ivy. She was [[Boobs of Steel|busty to begin with]], but as later games came out, she grew and grew, and her clothes conversely shrank and shrank. ''[[Soul Calibur]] III'' started the Character Creation stuff, but ''SCIV'' turned this up several notches with destructible armor, every bonus character being a female, and ''especially'' Angol Fear's appearance and Shura's dialogue.
** Ironically enough, in ''SCV'', Ivy's clothing is far more modest than any of her default outfits in previous games.
* The fan-made modules ''[[A Dance With Rogues]]'' and ''The Bastard of Kosigan'' are [[Darker and Edgier]] and Hotter And Sexier than the main ''[[Neverwinter Nights]]'' stories. The official expansion ''Hordes of the Underdark'' might be a more tame example, showing [[Fan Service|nearly nude drow women]] as opposed to the only Fanservice in the original campaign being Aribeth's [[Breast Plate]]. It also introduced romance between you and other characters, and succubi, human-sized fairies and other [[Cute Monster Girl]] enemies appear more frequently. A confrontation with the game's [[Big Bad]] even has her obviously trying to seduce you sexually.
* ''[[Mass Effect 2]]'' was much Hotter and Sexier than the first game, which had nothing beyond [[Space Clothes]] and one rather tame sex scene near the end. The second game had Asari walking around with [[Absolute Cleavage]], female party members dressed in [[Spy Catsuit|ridiculously skintight clothing]] (and in one case nothing but tattoos from the waist up), prison rape in backstories, etc. Oddly, the actual sex scenes ended up being ''tamer'' than those in the previous game, with only Jacob and Miranda showing any skin before the [[Sexy Discretion Shot]].
* ''[[Dragon Age II]]'' went through a similar progression as ''[[Mass Effect 2]]''. In the first game, sex was present in the game-verse, but the characters didn't wear it on their sleeves, and even though you had sexy party members, they looked moderately normal. Come the sequel, many of the women have ample busoms, the player's dwarf companion walks around with his chest ([[Carpet of Virility|virile carpet and all]]) exposed at all times, [[Everyone Is Bi]], half the dialogue of one of your companions consists of sex jokes, and there is a far greater emphasis on the romance side-quests. On the other hand, two of the female party members (Merrill and Aveline) are not overly sexualized; Merrill has moderately-form-fitting but fully-covering robes and light chainmail, while Aveline wears platemail armor for 90% of the game.
** [[Dragon Age II]] is a bit weird with this trope. While there are more sexual references, the sex scenes with your romantic partner are more chaste than the original. The characters might kiss and lead each other to bed, but the scene always [[Fade to Black|fades to black]] before you see anything explicit. Visiting the local brothel is also a much more tame affair.
*** [[Pirate Girl|Isabela]], however, is an example on her own. In her appearance in ''Origins'', she wore rather silly armor that might qualify as a one piece swim suit with a leather skirt, though it was not as bad as the typical [[Chainmail Bikini]]. Nor was she the only one wearing it. Pretty much all the [http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Wade%27s_Superior_Drakeskin_Armor_Set female light armor] was a [http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Leather_Armor_Set leather leotard] or [http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Dalish_Leather_Armor_Set two piece]. In ''[[Dragon Age 2]]'', she trades it in for a too-small shirt, underwear, and thigh-high boots.
*** Isabela personally makes this change, but compared to the first game's [[Hot Witch]] and [[Token Evil Teammate]] [http://images.wikia.com/dragonage/images/d/dd/Morrigan_profile.jpg Morrigan], the second game's main party is pretty overdressed.
* ''[[Final Fantasy IV]]'' is no stranger to fanservice, which is unsurprising given the franchise it's from, but compared to the rest of the series is pretty tame aside from the [[Stripperific]] Rydia and Porom. The PSP remake of the game however adds visible sexual organs to numerous monsters, including asses to the Lamia and Succubus-type enemies and bare breasts to the Leshy, conveniently covered up by the positioning of her arms. In the game's defense though, these enemies always had these attributes, they just weren't as noticeable in previous releases due to the lower-quality graphics.
* ''[[Final Fantasy X-2]]'' managed to combine this with [[Lighter and Softer]] by upping the fanservice and [[Les Yay]] to 11 while making everything more cheerful.
* ''[[Dissidia Final Fantasy]]'' does this to several characters thanks to its higher-quality graphics allowing 2D sprites and old concept artwork to be fully realized. [[Final Fantasy VI|Terra]]'s alternate outfits provide an escalation of fanservice, baring her legs and midriff and making her quite pretty in the face, while the [[Final Fantasy III|Cloud of Darkness]] was based on concept art instead of her sprites, and thus appears as a ''very'' shapely female clad in nothing but a cape and body paint. For the female fans, [[Final Fantasy I|Warrior of Light]] and [[Final Fantasy II|Firion]] have become full [[Bishonen]] with silver hair and muscular builds, [[Final Fantasy IX|Zidane]] is quite handsome thanks to the more traditional art style, and [[Final Fantasy IV|Kain]] is simply gorgeous with a head full of long, flowing blonde hair. ''And [[Badass Baritone|that]] [[Liam O'Brien|voice]]''...
* ''[[Final Fantasy XII]]'', Penelo is fully covered until the ending sequence and the sequel, [[Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings|Revenant Wings]], where Penelo wears a less revealing dancer costume. Vaan may be almost shirtless in both games, but in ''[[Final Fantasy Tactics A2]]'', he gets a new getup that makes him look more badass and hotter at the same time.
* The ''[[Dead or Alive]]'' series is easily often considered this for the Fighting Game genre. But for better or for worse that is often the ONLY thing that people talk about the series. (Even though most other fighting game series do this for their female cast on a regular basis.) But in all fairness Tecmo wasn't exactly trying to stop it either especially after the ''Xtreme Beach'' series.
** But yet oddly enough Tecmo tries to carefully make sure that the DOA girls sex appeal would only be used for things like [[Absolute Cleavage]] and Stripperiffic outfits. There is a popular theory that the first ''Xtreme Beach Volleyball'' game had bad sales due to its M rating for nudity (the only nudity being Christie's butt in the opening sequence).
* [[Fetish Fuel Station Attendant|Krystal]] from the ''[[Star Fox (series)|Star FOX]]'' series was made exactly for this reason. The results have been [[Furry Fandom|very effective]] to say the least.
** Wolf O'Donnell has become this in ''[[Star Fox Assault]]'' and turned him into the game's [[Mr. Fanservice]].
* While the aforementioned game couldn't do anything TRULY explicit, ''[[God of War (series)|God of War]]'' did prove you can have full-frontal female nudity and still have the game be M Rated. And despite all the attention ''Dead or Alive'' has gained for its [[Fan Service]], ''[[Street Fighter]]'' and ''[[Fatal Fury]]'' have gone one step further; their anime movies have shown Chun-Li and Mai Shiranui respectively nude [[Shower Scene|in the shower]].
** The lesson of this appears to be, so long as your game is set in Antiquity, having topless women walk around purely for the sake of being topless is just fine. Particularly if their dialogue advances the plot.
* Certain fans feared that this is exactly what was going to happen to ''[[Metroid]]'''s Samus Aran when it was announced that Tecmo and Team Ninja (of ''[[Dead or Alive]]'', or "[[Jiggle Physics|boing]]" fame) would be making ''{{[[Metroid: Other M]]''. Ironically enough, her presence in this game is actually a lot more tame and modest than her normal appearances out of her armor. (After all, ever since the infamous [[Samus Is a Girl]] twist in the original game occurred Samus ended up becoming quite a [[Ms. Fanservice]] when she is not in her traditional power armor.)
* This is the main reason [[Ms. Fanservice|Rouge the Bat]] was introduced in the ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' series.
* Before having Ivy and Sophitia (from ''[[Soul Calibur]]'') jiggling about the camera whilst destroying each other's clothing, Namco proved they could taken the already-cleavage-familiar ''[[Tekken]]'' and spin-it-off into ''Death by Degrees'', an action game that puts you in the numerous bullet-deflecting string bikinis of Nina Williams.
* Nikki, from Crystal Dynamics' 2.5D platformer ''Pandemonium'', was an average looking teenage girl in the original game. In the sequel, ''Pandemonium 2'', Nikki is a much older looking woman with longer hair, bigger breasts, and full red lips. This might be a case of [[She's All Grown Up]] if it weren't from the fact that Nikki from the sequel looks like an entirely different character instead of an older version of the same character from the first game. The manual goes as far to lampshade this.
{{quote|''"Nikki is no longer a limpet-eyed young naif. She has grown, blossomed, "leafed-out and sapped" as it were. And as she has sprouted, so have her desires.... and her means to achieve them."''}}
* This happened to Judy Nails from the ''[[Guitar Hero]]'' series. In the first two games, she was a cute, fairly normal alt-rock chick. By the third game, she wore heavy make-up, changed her jeans and plaid for a mini-skirt and belly top, and of course there's also her [[Most Common Superpower|sudden growth spurt]].
** It bears mentioning that between the second and third games the developers changed from Harmonix (who moved on to make ''[[Rock Band]]'') to Neversoft after Red Octane sold the name to Activision.
* ''TERA Online'' is basically "''Lineage II'' with even nakeder girls."
* ''[[No More Heroes]]: Heroes Paradise'' is practically the original game with improved graphics... And an extra gamemode called Very Sweet Mode added, which has all the female characters from the original game in a lot skimpier outfits. Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing depends on which character being depicted, but it should be noted that this applies to literally ''all'' of the female characters. Bearing in mind that the character of Speed Buster is a [[Fan Disservice|fat, elderly woman]]...well that should speak for itself.
** Although it probably makes [[Fetish Fuel Station Attendant|Bad Girl]]'s outfit ''less'' [[Fetish Fuel|fetishistic]].
* The ''[[Dynasty Warriors]]'' characters have gotten progressively more attractive with each entry into the series, with the biggest jump occurring between the fifth and sixth installments. In particular, Sun Quan went from [https://web.archive.org/web/20111103064425/http://ui10.gamespot.com/937/charapopup17_2.jpg this] to [http://www.blogcdn.com/playstation.joystiq.com/media/2009/07/dw6e38l.png this]. And that's not even getting into the increasing [[Stripperiffic]]-ness of Diao Chan's outfits.
** As well as [[Upper Class Twit|Yuan Shao]]'s sudden change from a middle-aged man to a [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]], [[The Wise Prince|Liu Bei]] reaching [[Bishonen]] levels, [[Everything's Better with Princesses|Sun Shang Xiang]] [[Bare Your Midriff|baring her midriff]] and even the modest, previously armored [[Hot Scientist|Yue Ying]] [[Show Some Leg|shows off some of]] [[She's Got Legs|her well-toned legs]] in some shorts. Inverted with [[Musical Assassin|Zhen Ji]] whose previous [[Stripperific]] outfit was replaced with a very [[Pimped-Out Dress|classy, royal qipao]].
* The 3DS remake of ''[[Fatal Frame]] 2'' has done this to the protagonists. In the original game, Mio and Mayu are two relatively cute, yet demure teen girls. In the remake, Mio has noticeable cleavage and Mayu's high-collared top has been replaced with one that shows off her chest and collarbones. Their faces have also undergone a revamp to make them more stereotypically attractive.
* More boobage and less clothing was the order of the day for all the female characters in ''[[Mortal Kombat 9]]''. Mileena even gets an entire fight scene wearing nothing more than a few strategically placed bandages.
* The ''[[Castlevania]]'' series has Alucard. Circa the NES era, he's a [[Classical Movie Vampire|middle-aged, wrinkled, unimpressive generic film-Dracula-esque character]]. Then came ''[[Symphony of the Night]]''. The young, long-silver-haired, alabaster-skinned and fine-featured, impeccably dressed gentleman on the page graphic there. That's Alucard. Yowza. And Maria Renard from the previous game is all grown up.
* ''[[Dead Rising 2]]'' takes place in an adult playground and with it comes a lot more innuendo and more perverted moments than in the previous ''[[Dead Rising]]''.
** The comics from IDW take this further since Isabella Keyes [[Fan Service Pack|suddenly got considerably more buxom]] and Rebecca Chang whom was already a [[Ms. Fanservice]] to begin became even more so since she was showing more cleavage and her bust size is now about as big as Jessica's from the original ''[[Dead Rising]]''.
* ''[[Assassin's Creed 2]]'', compared to Altair who is pretty much [[Married to the Job]]. Ezio's quest for revenge does not stop him from catching a glimpse of the finer things in 15th Century Italy which include lovely courtesans and a couple of flings with girls. However, Ezio also has a siblings, parents, and extended family, so it may just be a case of better and deeper storytelling than this trope per se.


== Web Comics ==
* [[Nerf Now]] is a webcomic where [[Stripperiffic]] [[Distaff Counterpart]] versions of all the characters of [[Team Fortress 2]] are featured frequently.
* Rather infamously, ''[[Sonichu]] 8''.
* When T gave up on getting ''[[Penny and Aggie]]'' syndicated, he "celebrated" it with "Behind Closed Doors", where nearly all the couples past and present either have sex or almost have sex. This is the first arc to hint at [[Anything That Moves|Stan]]'s bisexuality, and while it's not the first arc to hint at Sara's lesbianism, [[A Date with Rosie Palms|touching herself to Lindsay Lohan]] is a bit clearer than the strip had gotten in the past.
* ''[[Penny Arcade (Webcomic)|Penny Arcade]]'s'' infamous censored ''[[Strawberry Shortcake]]'' [http://www.penny-arcade.com/2003/4/14/ strip], which was actually a parody of the industry's [[American McGee's Alice|tendency]] to do this plus [[Darker and Edgier]].
** [http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2011/6/15/ Eventually followed by a] [[Rainbow Brite]] parody. Hopefully they don't get sued this time.


== Western Animation ==
* ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]''' parody spinoff ''Chief Wiggum PI''!
{{quote|'''Skinner:''' He's gradually getting away, Chief!
'''Wiggum:''' Ah, let him go. I have the feeling we'll meet again, each and every week. Always in more sexy and exciting ways!... }}
** Arguably, the later seasons in general. They've never exactly shied away from making sexual references but there's a bit more... blatancy in the later ones. Marge getting breast implants, anyone? Or [[Girl-On-Girl Is Hot|making out with Lindsay Neagle]] (in Homer's imagination)?
* Introduction of Lola Bunny in ''[[Space Jam]]'' had this purpose in the ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' franchise.
* ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20100218125658/http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8039477657790445932 Red Hot Riding Hood]''. Starts out as a normal Little Red Riding Hood until the characters suddenly rebel at this done-to-death staging and demand a fresh approach. Red is a sexy adult nightclub entertainer. It was voted #7 of The 50 Greatest Cartoons of all time.
* In the [[Famous Studios]] ''[[Popeye]]'' shorts, [[Damsel in Distress|Olive]] [[Informed Attractiveness|Oyl]] was made more attractive so it would make more sense that Popeye and Bluto were fighting over her.
* While the [http://images.wikia.com/thundercats/images/8/80/Cheetara.jpg original] [[Thundercats|Cheetara]] is still considered sexy by fans many agree that the [http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110828032841/thundercats/images/4/4f/Cheetara_1223.JPG 2011 version] is much sexier.


== Real Life ==
* A lot of pin ups and centerfolds eventually turn into this. Starting out as standard mild but sexy non-nude modeling, then semi-nude, then completely nude, then explicit poses, soon followed by "insertions" (and possibly hardcore porn, though not always). Basically "''Raunchier and Nastier''". But depending on your taste that's likely not a bad thing. The glamour models who don't do nude pictorials probably don't do it not just because of any moral standard, but because they haven't been offered the right amount of money yet.
** Case in point: Teri Weigel. She started her career as a ''[[Playboy]]'' Playmate in 1985. Soon after she posed for the more explicit ''Penthouse'' magazine. Eventually she started appearing in hardcore pornographic movies and magazines and even worked for a while as a legal prostitute at the Bunny Ranch brothel in Reno, Nevada... by which time ''Playboy'' had stopped mentioning that she had ever been a Playmate.
** Other examples are Amber Easton, Meggan Mallone, Tila Tequila, Vicky6, Priya Rai, Brianna Frost and Francine Dee.
* A lot of real life child actors will [[Exploited Trope|deliberately take on Hotter and Sexier roles when they're older]], in an attempt to shed the [[Contractual Purity|"innocent child" image]] they've had and be seen as a legitimate adult actor who can take on mature roles. It works better for some than for others.
** A la [[Anne Hathaway]]'s switch from ''[[The Princess Diaries]]'' and ''Havoc''.
** Another example is Elizabeth Berkley from ''[[Saved by the Bell]]'', who starred in the movie ''[[Showgirls]]'' in an attempt to shed her "good girl" image. It didn't work; the film bombed at the box office and was thrashed by critics, effectively killing Berkley's career.
** An even more extreme (and successful) example is [[Miley Cyrus]], who utterly shattered her [[:Category:Former Disney Child Stars|Disney child star]] image to avoid being typecast as [[Hannah Montana]] until she was in her sixties.  After a decade and her goal accomplished, she's begun dialing back her outrageousness.
** Quasi-inversion: Seeing as she ''started'' her career playing a [[Fille Fatale|12-year-old prostitute]] (in ''[[Taxi Driver]]''), [[Jodie Foster]] had to go the route of "actually doing well in good movies" rather than this. It worked.
* Inverted with [[Barbie]], whose wardrobe originally included lingerie (though most of her lingerie resembled long gowns, which Barbie will either use as undergarments or sleepwear), but by the late 2000s she cannot wear lingerie anymore to avoid alienating little girls.
