Picture the cover of a romance novel. Right now. You already know what I'm talking about. Fabio or some other shirtless man with a Heroic Build and long hair, with a buxom woman in his arms/wrapped behind him/within torso's reach, a colorful sunset or Regency-era building behind them..

Compare Leg Cling.

Examples of Romance Cover Scene include:

Comic Books

In the back cover of the trade paperback Mad Love, Harley Quinn sighs wistfully as she reads a romance novel with a cover featuring her and The Joker in this kind of pose (but with a grenade)

Film

Naked Gun 2 1/2 makes fun of this trope.

Literature

Every romance novel ever
The inside front cover of the paperback edition of Misery, which featured a romance writer protagonist, is a hilarious parody of a romance paperback cover with a very familiar male model.

Live-Action TV

An episode of Whose Line Is It Anyway? had Ryan Stiles striking these kinds of poses during a game of Party Quirks.
One America's Next Top Model photoshoot from Cycle 7 had the girls posing for one of these with Fabio himself.

Video Games

Gaia Online has "The Lusty Scoundrel" in order to make your avatar invoke this trope

Web Original

Smart Bitches, Trashy Books calls these "clinch covers" and has fun mocking the more ridiculous ones.

Western Animation

The Simpsons: Marge had an Imagine Spot with her as the heroine and Homer as the hunky, flowing-locks guy.
