[[Alice and Bob|Alice]] has a huge crush on Bob. Now all of a sudden, it seems that everything Bob does or says lately comes with a free [[Double Entendre]].
 
Alice always seems to be right behind him whenever he bends over to pick something up, Or having him around to help rearrange things in the garage always seems to bring them uncomfortably close together, which nowadays, is anything within five feet. And she's nearly forming puddles at her feet (from sweat, [[I Thought It Meant|guttermind!]]) when [[Hands -On Approach|he helps her with her backswing]].
 
Alice would probably love to do nothing more than jump Bob right then and there, but she can't. She may already be married (and she doesn't want to cheat), or maybe Bob is, or maybe they've been [[Like Brother and Sister]] [[Unlucky Childhood Friend|all their lives]]. Or it could just be that she's [[Cannot Spit It Out|too shy to speak or act]] on her feelings, or they're in public, or maybe Bob's too young for her, or any combination of the above or more.
Line 15:
And the most infuriating thing is, Bob is ''[[Oblivious to Love|totally unaware]]'' of these feelings he's stirring up inside of her. Or Bob may secretly feel the same way, but he has [[Cannot Spit It Out|the same problems with self-expression]]. It takes a special talent for a [[Twice Shy]] couple to both be doing this to each other, but stranger things have happened.
 
For those around [[Hello, Nurse!]] or the [[Chick Magnet]], [[But for Me It Was Tuesday|this might be called "Tuesday."]]
 
Compare with [[Stupid Sexy Flanders]]. [[Headbutt Thermometer]] is usually a subcase of this. [[Imagined Innuendo]] may be the cause.
Line 23:
Compare to [[Clueless Chick Magnet]], [[Master of the Mixed Message]].
 
The trope title comes from an old song from the 1980s by Cherelle. Its video featured a breakdancing King Kong. Covers of the song have been done by Robert Palmer and Mariah Carey.

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* As seen above, in the earlier chapters of ''[[Girl Friends]]'', Akko does this quite often to poor Mari. Of course, Akko might have {{spoiler|acted subconsciously}}.
* In [https://web.archive.org/web/20130923114119/http://www.batoto.net/read/_/2246/mahou-sensei-negima_v21_ch190_by_aquastar/16 chapter] [https://web.archive.org/web/20130923114124/http://www.batoto.net/read/_/2246/mahou-sensei-negima_v21_ch190_by_aquastar/17 190] in ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'', Negi [[Wind Up Key|winds up]] [[Robot Girl|Chachamaru]] in order to keep her going. Chachamaru normally finds this mildly pleasurable when done by someone who knows what they're doing. When Negi does it, he winds the key too hard, and pumps way too much magic into it, and Chachamaru has to clamp her hands over her mouth to keep from [[The Immodest Orgasm|screaming in pleasure]]. Completely oblivious to what just happened, Negi then promises to wind her up every day, as long as she needs him to. Considering the [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|obvious subtext]], Evangeline's oft-repeated threats to "[[Cool and Unusual Punishment|wind her up]]" from earlier on in the series--completeseries—complete with Chachamaru [[Fetish Fuel|begging "not too hard, please"]]--suddenly—suddenly become [[Black Comedy Rape|a lot more funny]]. The winding thing comes up again later, when [https://web.archive.org/web/20130801030038/http://www.batoto.net/read/_/2266/mahou-sensei-negima_v23_ch210_by_aquastar/7 Asakura realizes the implications]. Naturally, she [[Crossing the Line Twice|takes it a bit too far]]. [https://web.archive.org/web/20130923092017/http://www.batoto.net/read/_/2319/mahou-sensei-negima_v29_ch263_by_enigma Chapter 263] takes the "winding" into '''overdrive'''. Poor Chachamaru.
** In the anime adaptation ''Negima?!'', Konoka's attempts to cheer Asuna up during the [[Fan Service]]-laden [[Beach Episode]] ends up with her unwittingly waving her ass in Setsuna's face, which nearly gives her a heart attack.
** It also appears that Asuna does this to Setsuna [https://web.archive.org/web/20130801001731/http://www.batoto.net/read/_/2256/mahou-sensei-negima_v22_ch200_by_aquastar/17 here] by touching [[Fantastic Arousal|her wings]] a certain way.
** Negi [[Headbutt Thermometer|checking Asuna's temperature]] while she's under the effects of a [[Love Potion]].
* In chapter 39 of ''[[Kodomo Nono Jikan]]'', Aoki-sensei is showing the kids how to calm a cow and milk it - which entails calling its name in a low and soothing manner - while a bra-less (broke it early in the chapter) Houin-sensei stares nervously. It makes her become increasingly turned-on as her crush massages and squeezes the teats of the cow, which shares her given name.
* In ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'' the Italy brothers have [[Idiot Hair|curls]] that act as [[Fantastic Arousal|erogenous zones]]. [[Ho Yay|Germany is shown pulling on Italy's more than once]] without having the slightest idea of the reaction it causes. Given their status as [[Official Couple]], this is to be expected.
** Spain with Romano. At one point he pulls on Romano's curl to get his attention, not knowing that it only serves to make Romano more distracted. Romano immediately freaks out thinking that Spain is a pervert.
* ''[[The Tyrant Falls in Love]]'': What should have been a simple haircut becomes a test of Morinaga's self-control when he discovers highly sensitive areas around Souichi's ear; areas which he could conceivably put to good use. His will finally cracks when he tells Souichi to close his eyes and tilt his face upward so that he can snip his bangs...only to find that he's inadvertently set Souichi up into the perfect posture for a kiss. Souichi himself has fallen victim to this trope at least once, when Morinaga's efforts ''not'' to jump him only ended up turning him on instead.
* In chapter 200 of ''[[Ah! My Goddess (Manga)|Ah My Goddess]]'', in which the [[Moe Anthropomorphism|personification]] of a dimensional gate asks [[Unlucky Everydude|Keichi]] to unlock her with a '''very''' big key. [[The Hecate Sisters|Various other characters]] [[Lampshade Hanging|comment on]] [[Fetish Fuel|what their dialogue sounds like.]]
* Genkaku from ''[[Deadman Wonderland]]'' gets incredibly turned on by Nagi killing people, including [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/deadman_wonderland/v05/c018/29.html an instance where it's made obvious he gets a hard-on] [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/deadman_wonderland/v05/c018/30.html from Nagi crushing some poor guy's skull].
** Which is a case of [[In Love Withwith Your Carnage]] from Genkaku's side of things.
* Whenever Train from ''[[Black Cat (Mangamanga)|Black Cat]]'' kills or is about to kill someone, an unfortunate byproduct is [[Big Bad|Creed]] getting incredibly aroused. When Creed starts displaying his... * ahem* '' happiness'' more openly, Train gets very disturbed.
** It's especially weird in an anime-only Train smashes Creed's, er, sword with his gun, and Creed lies there mumbling, "That's it... it's shocking..." with tears in his eyes. Train seems deeply creeped out by this response.
*** Still ''another'' example can be found in a scene where the two fight in hand-to-hand combat and Train ends up trying to [[httpwikipedia://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_<!-- 28grappling29Mount (grappling)|immobilize Creed through a grappling maneuver.]] Having been trapped in this position, the latter proceeded to ''writhe'' and ''moan'' in what appeared for all the world to be '''''[[ImmodestOrgasmImmodest Orgasm|complete and total ecstasy.]]''''' -->
* ''[[Hayate the Combat Butler (Manga)|Hayate the Combat Butler]]'''s title character does this [[Running Gag|all the time]] to Nagi. Also to the other girls in his [[Unwanted Harem]]. Hell, an entire chapter was devoted to him unwittingly doing this to various female classmates.
* Pick a scene involving [[Naruto]] and Hinata. Chances are this trope has been invoked.
** See also the Mizukage and her teenage bodyguard Chojuro. Her version of the fever check involves [[Headbutt Thermometer|touching forehead to forehead]].
Line 48:
* ''[[Omamori Himari]]'' offers a strange example: {{spoiler|Shama bites Yuuto's neck and drinks his blood. Next frame, we see Shama panting in pleasure, fondling her own breasts with one hand and trying desperately to not put the other one between her legs and satisfy herself. Or rape him right there, for that matter. And Yuuto? Unconscious on the floor. Seems his blood is waaaaay too delicious and arousing for demons. And that's a demon hunter we're talking about...}}
** Makes a certain kind of sense. Such appealing targets would naturally be sought out first, naturally leading to training. In terms of the present day, it draws the various youkai to those that can handle it, instead of letting them prey on others.
* In ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]'', Sousuke might as well be called a human aphrodisiac. This trope is such a common occurrence with Sousuke, with him [[Chaste Hero|not even realizing]] that he's doing something to make his admirers' hearts beat faster. It most commonly occurs with Kaname (including an instance where he accidentally touched her breast, which resulted in her getting ''really'' turned on, an instance where she misunderstood that he was going to kiss her, an instance where she misunderstood his proposition to her as wanting to have sex with her, and an instance where she got turned on seeing him asleep, and [[Dude, She's Like, in Aa Coma|had a hard time resisting not kissing his soft lips while he was asleep]]). He tends to have this effect on Tessa, during the fewer times when he interacts with her, as well. And during ''Fumoffu'', his admirer Ena Saeki confesses that watching him work so diligently "made her heart beat out of her chest" (though the things he was working diligently on were [[Heroic Sociopath|planting land mines in the school]]). And then there's how he accidentally managed to turn [[Ax Crazy|Gauron]] on ''immensely'' during their [[Love At First Sight|first meeting]] when Sousuke was twelve... simply by Sousuke [[In Love Withwith Your Carnage|killing soldiers and looking at Gauron with his "beautiful" eyes.]] Which had [[Stalker Withwith a Crush|disastrous results]] for Sousuke in the long run. Later, it's even revealed that Sousuke unknowingly turned Gauron on yet again, as Gauron reveals to him that during their fight in Khanka, he was so pleased that Sousuke still had such [[What Beautiful Eyes!|beautiful eyes]], and he [[Depraved Homosexual|"really wanted to]] [[Ho Yay|fuck him up]] [[Foe Yay|the ass."]]
* In episode 5 of ''[[Macross Frontier]]'', Alto and Sheryl wind up hiding together in a single locker of the men's locker room - positioned so that their legs are intermingling and Sheryl's...''*ahem* '' is brushing up against Alto's hip. Unintentionally intimate enough as it is already, Alto's phone goes off...and it's on ''vibrate''. Thank God that Sheryl is a practitioner of [[The Modest Orgasm]].
* In ''[[Midori no Hibi]]'', Seiji unknowingly turns Kouta on a ''lot'' when he [[Finger -Suck Healing|sucks Kouta's injured finger]]. It's all enough to make Midori feel ''very'' uneasy...
* Natsuru does this to Akane in ''[[Kämpfer (Light Novel)|Kämpfer]]'' absolutely constantly.
* Rito of ''[[To Love Ru (Manga)|To Love LOVE-Ru]]'' does this to a great many of the girls, but the stand-out case is most probably Mikan in ''[[To Love Ru Darkness|Darkness]]'', where a [[Headbutt Thermometer]] leads to what is most definitely an ''orgasm'' in the uncensored volume.
* Occurs between [[Ho Yay|Shion and Nezumi]] in ''[[No. 6]]'' volume 5 of the novel.
 
 
== [[Comic Books]] ==
 
* Dick Grayson, former Nightwing and current [[Batman (Comic Book)|Batman]], is guilty of this to a ridiculous degree. At one point in his publication had six simultaneous acknowledged love interests, and has been referred to as a "factory for broken hearts."
* [[Green Arrow]] has inspired this a few times. Both of them, come to that. Recently, one of Green Arrow's villains was on the business end of a Green Arrow Accidental Seduction when he saved her life--shelife—she decided to fixate on him and become an insane [[Stalker Withwith a Crush]]. As you do.
* When this happens to [[Spider-Man (Comic Book)|Spider-Man]], it usually goes on to blow up in his face. Women occasionally fall for Peter Parker's dorky charms [[Oblivious to Love|without him realizing it]], and then when he has to go out and be Spider-Man or pursue his acknowledged love interests, the women resent him for it.
 
Line 66:
 
* Take ''any'' fanfiction where you have characters with sexual tension and at one point there is going to be a moment that turns the two of them on. Hot, passionate sex is optional.
* In ''[[A Day Indoors (Fanfic)|A Day Indoors]]'' by Ambrant Arandel, [[Mahou Sensei Negima|Kotaro]] accidentally gets Natsumi, Chizuru, and Ayaka all hot and bothered without meaning to [[Innocent Innuendo|or even knowing he did it]].
* Played with in an ''[[Artemis Fowl (Literature)|Artemis Fowl]]'' fanfic where Holly and Artemis are discussing something while her headset is on (meaning, in this case, that Foaly and the majority of the LEPrecon can hear her). She asks a question, which inevitably leads to [[Insufferable Genius|Artemis]] diving into a complex answer. About two sentences in, she irritably mutters, "I didn't mean to turn you on," referring to his habit of going into overly-detailed explanations. Recon, being the perverts they are, mistake it for this trope and burst out laughing. Embarrassed, she starts yelling at them (quite loudly) about what perverts they are and how no, she didn't turn Artemis on ''that way.'' Artemis stares blandly at her until she's finished and says something [[Deadpan Snarker|deadpan.]]
* In some of ''Chance Encounter 2'' and almost all of ''3'', Balian is this to Cassandra. Everything he does makes her love him more, and, Balian being Balian, he is totally oblivious until he is told. Whereupon he goes bright red.
* The ''[[Harry Potter]]'' [[Fanfic]] ''Semantics''<ref> Probably</ref>(probably) subverted this trope. Most of the fic revolves around Harry struggling with an attraction to Hermione, not helped by the fact that every other thing that comes out of her mouth seems to be [[Accidental Innuendo]], and it suddenly seems like she [[Erotic Eating|eats everything in an erotic way]], unknowingly of course. At the end of the fic, after Harry's given in and jumped Hermione, it's revealed that she was doing it all on purpose to entice him.
 
 
== [[Film]] ==
 
* Sam watching Mikaela checking out Bumblebee's engine in ''[[Transformers (Filmfilm)|Transformers]]''.
** She may have been doing it on purpose.
* Ever see [[Mel Brooks]]' ''[[Young Frankenstein]]''?
{{quote| "Are you ready, my dear? This is it; Elevate me."<br />
"Now ... right here?"<br />
"Yes, yes! Raise the platform!"<br />
"Oh! Ze platform, Ja!" }}
* The 1997 film of ''[[Lolita]]'' 1997 is full of examples of this between Humbert and Lolita (though later on it appears that Lolita started doing it more on purpose...).
* ''[[Some Like It Hot]]'' features a memorable scene where Marilyn Monroe <s>sneaks</s> squeezes half-naked into Jack Lemmon's train berth late one night, completely unaware that her new friend "Daphne" is really a guy in drag running from the mob. [[Hilarity Ensues]] as he desperately struggles to stay in character.
* A byproduct of the lycanthropic curse in the aptly named film ''[[Cursed (2005 (Filmfilm)|Cursed]]'' causes those around them to be extremely attracted to the one who is cursed. The newly cursed protagonist Ellie especially notices this with a male assistant of hers, and her brother Jessie is surprised when it happens to {{spoiler|Bo}}... neither of which the siblings had any intention in pursuing.
 
 
== [[Literature]] ==
 
* ''[[Twilight (Literaturenovel)|Twilight]]'': Edward just doesn't see how dazzling he is. Bella is happy to tell him.
** Bella arguably does the same thing with Jacob in their first encounter. Her attempts at flirting to find out more about the Cullens are a little too effective.
* In the ''[[Outlander (Literaturenovel)|Outlander]]'' series, Jamie Fraser proves himself something of a master of this trope with Lord John. Isn't his fault that the man has a thing for older guys, amicable chess games and good Lord, that accent. (Unfortunately, when Jamie figures this out, his reaction is not a particularly happy one.)
** Also, both in ''A Breath Of Snow And Ashes''-- Lizzie—Lizzie is having a seizure, and of course [[Single-Minded Twins|Kezzie and Jo]] have to help her out, right? Of course, Lizzie's treatment borders on [[Intimate Healing]]... [[Twin Threesome Fantasy|Whoops.]] And Phaedre {{spoiler|ends up accidentally turning on Duncan by way of breakfast and some involuntary physical reactions to appealing young women leaning over one in bed early in the morning.}}
* Phedre in [[KushielsKushiel's Legacy]] is an ''anguisette'' and cursed to feel pain and pleasure as one. Any bit of pain will register as pleasure for her. So when she had to get her marque(read tattoo that covers most of her back) worked on she was reduced to an orgasm laden mess.
** The guy doing the job even complains about how annoying it is to work on someone who is constantly writhing in ecstasy while he's trying to apply the tattoo, just like his grandfather (who did the last anquisette's marque) told him.
 
Line 101:
* An episode of ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'' began with Mike and the Bots accidentally turning each other on by greeting each other, apologizing for turning each other on (while being very bitter about it), telling the viewers that they'll be right back... Pearl eventually tells them that they "couldn't turn [her] on with a dozen naked Gerardos and Fabio in tight leather pants. ... Where was I?"
* The entire relationship between Daphne and Niles on ''[[Frasier]]'' seems to be based on this trope. For the first six seasons, Daphne had this effect on Niles. Then, in the seventh season, he got over her - just in time for her to discover his feelings, fall in love with him in return, and suffer through this trope herself.
* Bruno does this to Kerry in an episode of ''[[Eight8 Simple Rules]]''. Note that he does try to seduce her, he just doesn't know that it's working.
* An episode of ''[[Friends]]'' showed Monica making "sex noises" when Phoebe gave her a massage.
* In the ''[[Married... Withwith Children]]'' episode "A Little of the Top", Al was accidentally circumcised and had to abstain from sex for a while. Usually, he found the idea of sex with his wife repulsive, but then - probably due to [[Forbidden Fruit]] effect - everything she did turned him on.
** Also anytime she actually cleans, he can't help but get horny from the rare sight.
* In ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'', the Doctor definitely has his moments of this in the new series. He's done it to both Martha and Amy- even claiming to the latter he's like a Space Gandalf- but whether its because of repressed feelings or him just being clueless is up for debate. Its probably a mixture of both.
* Very much [[Played for Drama]] in the [[Buffy]] episode ''Amends.'' [[Troll|The First Evil]] is trying to make Angel feed on Buffy. When he sees her the way she looks and acts is enough to make most red blooded males jump her bones, or in Angel's case neck. He instead does the equivalent of jumping in a cold shower: jumping out her bedroom window so he won't be tempted.
 
Line 113:
* In ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'' 3, it probably wasn't Big Boss' intention to get Ocelot turned on to torture when he pissed his pants and got his eye shot out. Poor Solid Snake had to suffer for that.
** Big Boss at least did mean for Ocelot to handle his gun fighting technique in a more efficient manner, he didn't however intend for Ocelot to enjoy reloading his gun in combat so much.
* During one scene [[Catgirl|Tao's]] story mode in ''[[Blaz Blue Continuum Shift (Video Game)|Blaz BlueBlazBlue: Continuum Shift]]'', Tao goes to retrieve the resident nurse [[Ms. Fanservice|Litchi Faye-Ling]] from her clinic. Tao's standard greeting of [[Gag Boobs|"Boobie Lady"]] is a [[Skinship Grope]], and she proceeds to feel up the first person she meets- [[Large Ham|Bang]] [[Highly-Visible Ninja|Shishigami]]. His reaction is, predictably, [[Nosebleed|explosive.]]
 
== [[Web Comics]] ==
Line 119:
* ''[[Starslip Crisis]]''. Poor Holiday...
* ''[[Namir Deiter]]'' - Issac does this to his own sister, Blue. (Neither she nor the reader know who he is at the time, and he bolts in horror when he realizes what happened, [[Squick|but still...]])
* ''[[The Law of Purple]]'': When Green starts crushing on Lynnah...oh, just look [https://web.archive.org/web/20110810024225/http://lawofpurple.comicdish.com/?pageID=770 here.]
* In ''[[Order of the Stick]]'', Haley suffered from this trope in the earlier comics with regards to Elan. [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0109.html This strip] is one example.
* [[El Goonish Shive (Webcomic)|El Goonish Shive]]: Rhoda and Catalina [http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2011-11-04 here] and later [http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2011-11-11 here]
