[[Trope Namer]] is a [[Shania Twain]] song, [[This Index Is Not an Example|which has nothing at all to do with this trope.]]

Line 51:
** Awkwardly enough, there's a scene near the end of the manga where Nabiki [[Skinship Grope|confirms]] (ahem) firsthand that female Ranma has ''[[Fan Service Pack|bloomed]]'' faster than Akane. Ranma then goes into a self-indulgent daze where she dances around, cupping her own breasts and pushing them up to emphasize them, while Akane [[Wall Glower|fumes angrily]] at her. As far as Ranma is concerned, a win is a win. This is far from the first time his [[Nobody Calls Me Chicken|competitive nature]] leads him into trying to "out-girl" a real one. Or a fake one.
** Ranma averts the trope to the point that he (or she) has gotten so used to his naked female body that he doesn't react much to the sight of naked girls. At worst, he's embarrassed when [[Unwanted Harem|one of his suitors]] tries to use her nudity to get the best of him, but that's only due to her attitude and not her nakedness. On the other hand, she's just as vicious as any real girl when someone ''else'' (such as male suitors) grabs her where she doesn't like being grabbed.
* Keiichi from ''[[Ah! My Goddess (Manga)|Ah My Goddess]]'' went through the transformation in an episode where he was working with Urd's potion ingredients. He checks his new... bumpers in the trope-specified way, then discovers he is still male from the waist down... and his lower half is pretty excited about the additions on the upper floors.
* Subverted in ''[[To Love Ru]]''. When Rito is transformed into a girl, he feels his new breast, checks that he is now all female with his hands, before promptly freaking out and then being to nervous to even see himself naked.
** In ''Darkness'', on the ''fifth'' time he was turned into a girl he has to change clothes and, while initially still embarrassed, he finally reasons that he shouldn't be upset by his own body, then take his first good look at it. He briefly holds his own breasts, but still finds it more alien than arousing.
Line 59:
** The second OAV also shows the rare female-turned-male example of this normally-averted behavior.
* ''[[Parallel Trouble Adventure Dual]]'' had a variation: protagonist Kazuki Yotsuga is temporarily given a [[Latex Space Suit|pilot suit]] to [[Wholesome Crossdresser|disguise him as a woman]], in an (ill-fated) attempt to hide the fact that he breaks [[Minovsky Physics|the rules]] for their [[Imported Alien Phlebotinum]]. Inevitably, both Kazuki and friendly neighborhood [[Mad Scientist]] Ken Sanada get caught having ''too'' much fun "inspecting" the suit's fake breasts while Kazuki's wearing the suit.
* In ''[[Jo
* In ''[[The Tower of Druaga (Anime)|The Tower of Druaga]]: The Aegis of Uruk'' Jil and Melt consider doing this when the entire party has their sexes temporarily swapped, until the girls (now men) stop them. In a turn up for the books, it's implied (but not shown) that the temporarily male Ahmey manages to... um... take advantage of her male form off screen.
* The ''[[Excel Saga (Manga)|Excel Saga]]'' manga has a scene after Iwata "dies" and is brought back in the body of [[Robot Girl]] Ropponmatsu-1. In his re-introduction to the rest of the team, he says "I feel great! In fact I've been ''feeling'' them all day. In fact, if it's alright with you Doctor, I'm thinking about just locking myself in a broom cupboard for the rest of the day!"
Line 71:
* Averted in ''[[Kämpfer (Light Novel)|Kämpfer]]'' where main protagonist [[Chaste Hero|Senou Natsuru]] is so pure that he gets terrified with embarrasment just looking at his female self in the mirror or even ''go to the restroom as her'', much less try to find out what his new parts feel like.
** In a later episode, it's hinted that it's been so long since the first transformation that Natsuru is able to walk past his mirror without getting a nosebleed at himself.
* In ''[[Rosario to Vampire]]'', at one point [[Token Mini
** There was a part where an enemy shapeshifter transforms into Kurumu, and claims that it is the first time he has ever turned into a woman. He is nearly overwhelmed by the sensations of his new breasts, but pulls himself together and attacks them.
* Aborted and inverted in ''[[Your and My Secret]]''. When Akira and Nanako [[Body Swap|swap bodies]], Akira is interested in playing with the newly acquired girl bits, but Nanako threatens him into leaving them alone. Nanako seems to have had some fun with Akira's body, though.
Line 137:
== Live Action TV ==
* In the ''[[Red Dwarf (TV)|Red Dwarf]]'' episode "Balance of Power", Rimmer tries to trick Lister into abandoning his attempts to gain Kochanski's hologram disc by assuming her holographic form and telling him he doesn't stand a chance with her (this was early in the series, before the [[Retcon]] that they'd previously dated). When this fails, "she" looks down her shirt and says "I've seen something you haven't, squire". Upon resuming his own form, Rimmer retains one breast, which he tells Holly there's no rush in correcting.
** ''Red Dwarf'' also features a female-to-male example in the episode "Bodyswap" when the ship's [[Self
{{quote| '''Rimmer:''' If we don't override the auto-destruct in the next 20 seconds, those sexual organs will be in orbit around the nearest planet, along with every one else's organs, sexual or otherwise.}}
* ''[[Charmed (TV)|Charmed]]'' features an exception to the no-male-touching rule: a female demon possesses a man, which she'd never done before, and examines the new merchandise. When s/he gets to the nether regions, s/he places a hand over her/his crotch and says "Walking should be interesting."
Line 177:
'''Myka in Pete's body''': Because you're still you and I'm still me, even though we're in different bodies. }}
* An episode of ''[[The Muppet Show]]'' had Dr. Strangepork invent a disintegrating ray in the "Pigs In Space" segment, which he used on both Link Hogthrob and Miss Piggy. He then tried to re-integrate them....but left them stuck in each others' bodies. This leads to a [[Crowning Moment of Funny]] when Piggy (in Link's body) scolds Link (in Piggy's body), "Don't you dare touch ''you''!"
* Subverted in an episode of ''[[The Man Show]]'' when Adam Carolla [[What an Idiot!|(without thinking)]] decided to [[What Were You Thinking?|try out a machine called the "Jugginator"]] (which turns old or ugly women into Juggy Dancers) on ''himself''; he came out as a shapely woman in a bikini....and upon realizing he was a little, er, "lacking" downstairs, had a [[Naked Freak Out]] and hastily covered his briefs [[Big No|while screaming: "OH, NO! MY PENIS!"]] Naturally, by the end of the episode [[Status Quo Is God|he had changed back into a man]]. (In this scene, he was played by a Juggy wearing a pair of oversized black eyebrows who mimed the line as Adam dubbed it backstage.)
* Australian comedy series ''[[Full Frontal]]'' did a skit where a man who'd changed sex complained of suffering sexual harassment -- from himself.
* Charlie does this in ''[[Two and A Half Men]]'' when he wakes up with breast implants.{{spoiler|It was [[All Just a Dream]]}}.
Line 209:
** Later, after Elliot gets magical powers but all he gets are "turn into a girl" spells, it is theorized in-universe that doing this is the key to convincing his magic that he's satisfied with the spells he got, and is ready for something different. [http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2010-12-13 He still has some problems with this, however.]
* In ''[[Misfile]]'', Ash Upton is [http://www.misfile.com/index.php?page=27 directly accused] of this. (Though it isn't actually shown.)
** S/he [http://www.misfile.com/overlay.php?pageCalled=766 references it again] later on. Interestingly, it's getting beyond [[Man, I Feel Like a Woman]] that Ash finds most disturbing, since it feeds her fears of [[Second Law of Gender Bending|being assimilated.]]
* In the [[Phil Foglio]] guest week on ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'', Torg gets his mind switched with Zoe's. The first thing Zoe does is turn Torg into a camel (Zoe's body has a cursed tattoo on it -- [[Kudzu Plot|long story]]) to turn the tables on him, which has the unintended effect of crushing the mind swapping machine. Torg spends the interim making money by coding in lingerie on a live webcam; Zoe gets "Torg" arrested for an unspecified misdemeanor. The trope isn't played out as it usually does, but one can imagine it happened somewhere between the comics.
** The funniest part is the opening -- wherein Zoe angrily discovers a bunch of ''her'' clothes in ''his'' closet, only to have Riff explain, load of clean male laundry in hand, that of course Torg had some of her clothes -- he'd spent a week in her body, after all. Then she notices said clothes haven't been ''[[Naked People Are Funny|worn]]'', per se...
Line 218:
* Completely avoided in the ''[[Insecticomics]]'', mostly because gender and body structure aren't necessarily linked.
* The "accused but averted" variant also happened in ''[[Dan and Mabs Furry Adventures]]''. Dan was ''shocked'' to be accused of that, especially while shapeshifted as his own sister...
** Not shocked; Dan was outright [[Squick|squick'd]] by the idea of groping what is, in effect, [[Brother
{{quote| '''Dan:''' I look like my sister!! That is like... the anti-hotness!<br />
'''Abel:''' Yeeg! You're telling me! Your sister is ugly when you're angry! }}
Line 261:
** A subversion in the sixth season, in an episode where nearly everybody switches minds with one another, the Professor ends up in Amy's body and promptly decides to return it:
{{quote| '''Professor''': I don't care about these boobs flapping every which way.}}
* The ''[[Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers (Animation)|Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers]]'' episode "A Fly in the Ointment" gets close when Dale ends up with Gadget's body, before Gadget (with Dale's body) puts a definitive end to exploration. "Keep the hands off the body," she scolds him. Gadget herself had a somewhat ambiguous reaction, though she was mainly concerned with her new body's [[Half
* An episode of ''[[Code Lyoko]]'' mostly counts, as Yumi and Odd are subjected to faulty materialization and end up inside the other's body. Yumi is quick to lay down some rules after Odd complains about how itchy her bra is. Of course, one has to wonder if he didn't break them, given that he came back the next day in a new outfit while Yumi slept in her/his clothes.
* An odd variant in the ''[[Adventure Time (Animation)|Adventure Time]]'' episode "The Witch's Garden." A witch punishes Jake the Dog by cursing him with a "man-baby body" (his head remains the same, however) and removing his stretching powers. The first thing he does is grope his man-boobs, and then demand to know what happened to the other eight.
