Yes, yes, we all know [[Girl On Girl Is Hot]]. But what some authors are only just beginning to realize is that, for [[Yaoi Fangirl|certain women]] (and of course, [[Bi the Way|certain]] [[Have I Mentioned I Am Gay?|guys]]) Guy On Guy Is Hot. While not a ubiquitous cultural assumption in [[Real Life]] the way its [[Sister Trope]] is, it is nevertheless an existing mentality. It's the reason for [[Boys Love Genre|Yaoi]], and the times when [[Ho Yay]] is played intentionally for [[Fetish Fuel]]. Some authors adhere to this, or at least acknowledge its existence, and thus we get scenes of [[Fan Service|half-naked men]] [[Mud Wrestling|wrestling]] in either [[Skin Horse (Webcomic)|mud]] or [[Shortpacked (Webcomic)|jello]].
 
In fiction, this philosophy may be treated in-universe as a full-on [[Spear Counterpart]] to [[Girl On Girl Is Hot]], with the assumption being that it's normal for women to ogle gay men in the same way that straight men (supposedly) enjoy lesbian action.
 
Just as often, though, there is a heavy [[Double Standard]]; straight men thinking [[Girl On Girl Is Hot]] will be taken for granted, whereas the female enjoyment of Guy-on-Guy will be treated as a perversion (See [[Yaoi Fangirl]]). Or, in the other direction, female characters will proudly declare their fascination with gay guys doing it while denouncing men who eroticise lesbians as exploitative perverts.

* Formerly pictured above is Erika from ''[[Durarara (Light Novel)|Durarara]]'' thinking that [[Hair -Trigger Temper|Shizuo]] and [[Manipulative Bastard|Izaya]] [[Blatant Lies|make a]] [[Foe Yay|wonderful couple]]. Her friends disapprove but, surprisingly, Shinra agrees with her (Or at least thinks it makes sense in some way. [["No. Just... No" Reaction|Celty forbade him from actually finishing that thought]]). [[Fan Preferred Couple|Not to say this is the general reaction to most fans about this pairing in general]]. It also doesn't help that Narita finds enjoyment in [[Ship Tease|teasing the ship]].
* This is Hikaru and Kaoru's entire schtick in ''[[Ouran High School Host Club (Manga)|Ouran High School Host Club]]''.
* In ''[[Naruto (Manga)|Naruto]]'', Konohamaru's Sexy No Jutsu had two shadow clones transform into a nude Sasuke and Sai locked [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|in a very suggestive pose]]. It got cut in the anime, but the manga version can be seen [http://www.mangareader.net/93-352-11/naruto/chapter-347.html here]. In the English print of this manga scene, the male on male part was nearly blacked out entirely, while the girl on girl scene only needed a few extra clouds to censor naughty bits. Major [[Double Standard]] on [[Viz Media|VIZ]]'s part. Remember kids; getting the hots for naked ladies together is okay, but you're not allowed to even look at two guys. EVER!

{{quote| '''Jack''': We'll have a steak, watch a movie... you like gay porn, right?<br />
'''Grace''': Who doesn't? }}
* ''[[NoahsNoah's Arc]]'': Brandy finds two guys together quite sexy, though overall the trope goes without saying for the LGBT genre (at least on the male end).
* In the ''[[Farscape (TV)|Farscape]]'' episode "Won't Get Fooled Again", one of the many crazy scenes involves a [[Camp Gay]] D'Argo propositioning John. Apparently Chiana wants to watch...
* One of the [[Patient of the Week|Patients of the Week]] on ''[[GreysGrey's Anatomy (TV)|Greys Anatomy]]'' was a gay soldier. Once his boyfriend comes to visit him they are alone and proceed to make out. Meredith Grey walks by, and stares at them with much interest.

* ''[[Cirque Du Soleil]]: Zumanity'' has a [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]] sequence involving two gay men [[Head -Tiltingly Kinky|doing a violent tango in a cage]].
 
 
Line 90:
* ''[[The Nostalgia Chick (Web Video)|The Nostalgia Chick]]'':
** On the forums, [[It Makes Sense in Context|when]] asked, [[The Nostalgia Chick (Web Video)|Lindsay Ellis]] responded that she enjoys gay porn but can't stand it when it has a [[Porn With Plot|plot]].
** In her review of ''[[Kate and Leopold (Film)|Kate and Leopold]]'', Leopold's "fresh, creamery butter" line causes [[The Nostalgia Critic (Web Video)|The Nostalgia Critic]], [[Todd in The Shadows (Web Video)|Todd in The Shadows]], [[Brental Floss (Music)|Brental Floss]], and some other guy to start craving [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|Hugh Jackman's butter and doing suggestive things with buttersticks]]. [[Lampshaded]], of course.
{{quote| '''Todd''': Why am I suddenly craving butter? ...''Man'' Butter?<br />
'''Critic''': (''strokes butterstick, then slaps self'') No! [[Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today?|You like boobs!]] ...and butter... }}
** In her review of ''The Christmas Shoes'', the 12-year old version of herself is shown writing a [[Slash Fic]] featuring [[The Lord of the Rings (Literature)|Legolas and Aragorn]].
