A character (almost Always Female) provides a distraction by flirting with and/or showing some skin to an opposing guard, Spear Carrier and/or Red Shirt characters. Of course if you have large breasts it's a lot easier. And some characters are distractions all by themselves. This trope does not mean characters whose outfit only covers their top half; that's Stripperiffic or Leg Focus. This trope is probably the only reason a female warrior would even consider a Chainmail Bikini. Might be more directly applied via a Kiss of Distraction. See also: Fanservice, Distracted by the Sexy, Action Dress Rip. See also Leg Focus, a more general trope about legs as fanservice. Compare Fake-Out Make-Out. See also I Have Boobs, You Must Obey!, where flirting and acting sexy is done to gain a favor, rather than distraction, and Lust Makes You Dumb, which sometimes overlaps with this trope. Contrast Ignore the Fanservice. |

The Penguins of Madagascar: During "Needle Point", Skipper attempts to use this against the other penguins by performing a sultry dance with two large leaves. Lampshaded by Kowalski when the penguins aren’t affected. Another example of this comes in "Mental Hen" — the penguins encounter an evil hen who is able to predict their every move. Kowalski's solution? Perform a strangely suggestive song-and-dance routine where he shakes his bottom and flirts with her while Rico switches her bowls. |

However, seeing how he was still distraught over the death of his girlfriend, she doesn't use it. The leader of the Rebels is easily distracted by Kuo and Nix, where Kuo even had to yell at him to focus on their meeting. |

The fourth Mazinkaiser OAV where Sayaka end topless in front of both heroes and mooks. Admittely, this was accidental: Koji had tried to stop her from going gung-ho on the armed mooks, but when he tried to grab her by the shoulder, he ended up undoing her bikini top instead... and then being the Idiot Hero he is, he turns it into a strategy to completely distract the rest of the guards at her expense. No wonder she's so mad. This scene was adaptated from a similar one that happened in the Mazinger Z original manga. |

Ranma ½: Dirty Old Man HappÅ�sai is very susceptible to this trope, something that Ranma takes advantage of quite liberally when fighting him. The first Pantyhose TarÅ� arc involves lots of actual pantyhose and Ranma uses this trope multiple times to trick HappÅ�sai. Herb, Lime, and Mint from the Musk Dynasty have never seen women before leaving their kingdom hidden deep in China. Although all three are lethal adversaries with supernatural abilities and fighting skills, they can ALL be very easily distr— Ranma is able to stop Prince Herb in his tracks by flashing her breasts at him, not once but several times. Seeing how he has come within inches of chopping off her head in one such instance, it's understandable. Just don't try it too often with Herb. Showing him the real thing will distract him long enough to pause, but he'll become mad with fury at the indignity. In the manga, Ranma loves using this trope to his advantage. He's a loveable but manipulative tease. Would you expect anything less? Although most of Ranma's other opponents (even girl-shy RyÅ�ga) are immune to Ranma's feminine attributes. Ranma also does this to save UkyÅ� from RyÅ�ga: when the former is first introduced to the school, RyÅ�ga misunderstands and (like everyone else at first) thinks UkyÅ� is a man, and nearly skewers her with his umbrella. Ranma quickly dashes in and rips open UkyÅ�'s uniform jacket, showing her breasts (bound tight with Sarashi) to RyÅ�ga. He gets smashed with a giant steel spatula by way of thanks. Even Akane (!) gets into the act: in order to save Ranma from the Orochi, she rips off her own jacket, revealing her true gender. The woman-eating dragon is sufficiently distracted and stops in its efforts to eat Ranma. That is after female-Ranma's attempts to Show Some Leg (or breast) at the Orochi (in order to draw it away from Akane and Shinnosuke) backfired horribly. The breasts went over fine — the boxers, not as much. Nabiki invokes this trope once by flipping up Akane's skirt in front of Ranma. Not only does it distract him, but it completely stops him from finishing an attack based on strong emotion. In this case, the strong emotion is depression. Ranma uses a similar technique on RyÅ�ga at a critical moment of the same depression-technique, causing it to backfire. The Vengeful Doll (in Akane's body) invokes this by stripping in front of Ranma, then tries to kill him while he's stunned. |

In an episode of Dark Angel, Max is in a prison cell with a telekinetic boy cultist (long story) who's flinging her around with his mind like she's a rag doll. All seems lost until she shows him her breasts, whereupon the boy understandably loses his concentration. Thus freed, Max cold-cocks the kid ("Made you look!") and escapes. Coincidentally, the episode's name is "Exposure". (She also flashes Normal in an earlier episode, but for different reasons.) | |

Chuck. Lampshaded in two episodes featuring John Larroquette at Roan Montgomery, described as an "old school James Bond type". In the first episode Chuck must seduce a female spy to steal an item from her. She quickly sees through him, but he managed to swipe the item anyway. In the second episode, Roan infiltrates a female terrorist's base and seduces her, though it's later subverted when Casey (Adam Baldwin again) must seduce his way past a beefy-looking female guard. He's initially successful, but when he unintentionally insults her, he just shoots her with a tranq gun. Played much straighter with Sarah, who frequently does this on missions to cause distractions or take advantage of an enemy agent. Or even to Chuck when they have a disagreement on their wedding. |

Star Trek: Enterprise. In "Babel One", Shran uses his second-in-command Talas, a Blue-Skinned Space Babe in Pink Lingerie, to distract the MACO guard outside his quarters ("Andorian women are permitted one final conquest before their wedding. I've never had relations with a member of your species. I was hoping you'd indulge me.") The guard doesn't fall for it and knocks out Shran when he tries using the diversion to jump him, whereupon Talas knocks out the guard instead. | |

Hilariously subverted in The Naked Gun 33â…“. Tanya, who wants to get the guard away from the envelopes with all the academy awards in them, tries showing some leg... and some cleavage... and spinning the straps of her dress around like helicopter blades... to no avail. Finally she tries to play with bubble wrap seductively. The guard strolls over as if hypnotized... shoves her away and proceeds to happily play with the bubble wrap. | |

Looney Tunes: Fairly common in Golden Age cartoons. Bugs Bunny and various other Warner Brother's characters would do this, while crossdressing. Hatta Mari does this to lure avowed woman-hater Daffy Duck to her lair in "Plane Daffy". It works a little too well as Daffy who has flown about a half a mile away returns to look at her leg up close and whistles at it. A gorgeous red headed duck called "The Body" also does this to Daffy in "The Sooper Snooper". While sitting down, she hikes up her red dress to expose her long curvaceous crossed legs. Next she turns out the lights and starts kissing Daffy like crazy. At first it might seem that she is trying to distract the detective that Daffy is portraying from finding her guilty of murder. But all The Body wanted to do was seduce Daffy who she fell in love with instantly. |

Dirty Pair: In the television incarnation, this is a tactic Kei resorts to once when some guards have them at gunpoint with no other choices available — she tears her top open, and the guards take their eyes off Yuri for just one fatal second. (This is frequently counted as a Moment of Awesome.) Yuri pulls this off in the first OVA episode simply by being a woman in a maximum security prison where the inmates haven't seen a woman in years. All she has to do in order to lead a group of guys straight into an ambush is stand hipshot, giggle, and run her hands seductively through her long hair. In the 8th episode of the series Yuri sneaks up behind a guard and strips naked behind a revolving door, she knocks on the door to get his attention and shows him her bare leg behind the window, she then motions for him to come to her, he excitedly follows her and we hear sounds of her beating him up and she comes out wearing his uniform. |

The most famous instance of this was probably when Miss Elizabeth did it at the very first SummerSlam. It probably surprised everyone too, since as the (Real Life and later Kayfabe)) wife and manager of Randy Savage, she was known for her impeccably ladylike behavior while wearing blouses, long skirts, and High-Class Gloves. But when Savage and Hulk Hogan (known at that time as the "Mega Powers") needed to pick up a victory over Ted DiBiase and André the Giant in a tag match, Elizabeth had no problem with ripping off her skirt to expose her legs and bright red panties and distract the enemy long enough for her husband and the Hulkster to get the win. Elizabeth was a Face when she did this, and that she remained a Face afterward. Actually, Elizabeth whipping her skirt off was a compromise. The original plan was for Elizabeth to take her whole dress off, leaving her in just her bra and panties, but Savage balked at that idea. |

The Dukes of Hazzard: One of Daisy's specialties. This backfired on her once, in Season 4's "Cletus Falls in Love", where Deputy Cletus, instead of getting wise to Daisy's charms, falls madly in love with her. Anywhere else, Cletus would be arrested for stalking and/or fired for unprofessional behavior, but for the Dukes, his puppy-dog-smothering of Daisy is just an annoyance... until Cletus helps them against the bad guys in the end. | |

Vow of the King: Attempted twice. Bambietta hikes up her skirt when cornered by Tosen and Hisagi, only to shoot at them mid-sentence. Hisagi dodges while Tosen merely smacks the bullets aside. Like in canon, Rangiku unbuttons her shirt to coerce Ichigo into letting her stay at his place. Having been living with Nemu for months (and recently entered a sexual relationship with her), he completely ignores the attempt. |

Gorgon in Air Gear lived off of this strategy in AT matches. It had the opposite effect on Onigiri. It really helps that he rode the AT by HIS HEAD. Gorgon's tattoo is hypnotizing enemies looking at her Sexy Backless Outfit, making them numb/slowed down. And by turning it upside down (Onigiri, I look at you) it increases his speed to the point Onigiri activates funnily awesome Smell Road. | |

Cowboy Bebop: In the anime, Faye Valentine regularly invokes this trope for her own benefit (obvious, really) although it doesn't always work, Spike in particular possessing an almost Zen-like resistance. Spike is able to resist Faye's beauty because he sees her as a "woman with attitude" which he states in one episode that he doesn't like, and also because he is still in love with his girlfriend Julia who he had been searching for. In the manga, this happens to a man who was arm-wrestling with Spike in one of the side-stories. If the man won, Allison MacDool (a woman who was traveling with Spike) would be his, but if he lost, Spike would win a bunch of money. When it looked like Spike was losing, Allison opened her shirt (behind Spike), which distracted everyone there, allowing Spike to win. |

This catches the attention of two guards, giving Bond a chance to make his way to his car and send an important message to his people. Bond's female partner Flicka in Never Send Flowers distracts a henchman that has them on gunpoint by moving in such fashion which makes her skirt get caught in the railing next to them, uplifting it. As the guy is stunned by the sudden sight before him, Bond tackles him. Devil May Care features the main female exposing her breasts to a guard so Bond can choke him to death. |

Sonia the nun from Hayate the Combat Butler uses this tactic against the modest and polite Hayate. It works, but not because he gets distracted; it works because there's another character nearby, and he fears that if she observes the scene, she'll misinterpret it as him making a sexual assault. (And given his Cosmic Plaything status and the nature of the series, his worry is justified.) | |

The Succubus' Seduce ability in World of Warcraft "stuns" the target. Bonus points because the Succubus' has to channel the spell. Extra bonus points because it works on any humanoid that isn't immune to crowd control. Including women. | |

This was actually used as bait rather than a distraction in an episode of the Sentai series Fiveman. Since the monster of the day tunnels through the ground to capture victims and especially likes leggy females, Five Yellow dons a short skirt and prances around getting it to follow her right into the trap they set for it. | |

A very effective strategy in Xanth for a female fighter opposing a male one is to flash her panties, because panties worn by a woman have the magical effect of "freaking out" men.

James Bond: In On Her Majesty's Secret Service, Tracy Draco is held prisoner by Blofeld and coldly refuses his advances. But when she recognises her father's voice on the radio from the approaching "Red Cross" helicopters, she starts flirting with Blofeld, who gets annoyed when one of his men tries to draw his attention to them. For Your Eyes Only. When James Bond is infiltrating The Dragon's residence in Spain, one of the owner's own harem girls provides the distraction he needs by choosing that moment to smooch with one of the guards. Unfortunately Bond is captured shortly afterwards by a couple of guards who are doing their job properly. In Octopussy, James Bond is captured and held at gunpoint in the back of a moving truck. Driving by is a pretty girl (his ally) who reveals her thighs, distracting the guards so Bond can escape. In the Storming the Castle scene, Octopussy's Amazon Brigade pose as dancing girls, keeping the guards distracted while their compatriots sneak in elsewhere (in an ironic touch, the Big Bad isn't bothered by his men being Distracted by the Sexy as he's about to do a runner). In The Living Daylights, knowing that a guard is coming he turns to a girl, tears her bathrobe off as she screams, and then has her face the door, distracting the guard for a few seconds when he enters. In GoldenEye, Famke Janssen's character distracts both a fat admiral and James Bond with her sex appeal whilst actively trying (and succeeding, in the former) to break their ribs with her thighs. |

Stargate Atlantis: Then in the episode "Trio", when Carter, McKay, and Dr. Keller are trapped in an abandoned mine, McKay tries unsuccessfully to convince Carter that the pubescent boys outside will be more willing to get help for them if she flashes her breasts. Subverted another time, when McKay needs Weir to "distract" Billy Lee so that he can access his computer. She asks "how?"

Used in the Colus/Hagooda War story arc in The Five Star Stories. After being kicked off the bus they were taking to see King Colus, Mission Routh forces Ladios & Meg to strip down to their underwear to flag down cars on the highway. A bit of a subversion, since one is an Artificial Human & the other is actually a very feminine-looking Bishounen, and they didn't even need to do it anyway, since the king sent them a limo. | |

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine In "The Homecoming", Major Kira infiltrates a Cardassian work camp by pretending to be a Bajoran prostitute being brought to the camp commander. The guard too has a taste for Bajorans and turns off the forcefield so he can sample the merchandise. As he bends down to check her out, Kira punches him in the face. In "Sons of Mogh", Worf accuses Dax of dressing in a revealing outfit to distract him during a sparring session. Dax scoffs at the idea that she would dress this way for his sake. |

After they're captured by river pirates who make their intentions obvious, the priestess Avila uses her former skills as an erotic dancer to keep them entertained while getting them lined up for the Lost Technology stun guns they're secretly carrying. Unfortunately because their attention is on Avila, the moment people start collapsing for no apparent reason and Avila grabs a gun, the pirates concentrate all their fire on her. | |

Bill Oddie stops to look himself and has to get hauled off by the others. It's not mentioned where they got the dolly bird from in the first place, as the village they're in only has The Vicar staying there—perhaps Graeme Garden built her? | |

This works initially, but when she tries to spear him and he catches it, he transforms into his max state and talks about how his suppressed lust is making him stronger. Fearful that he'd sexually assault her in that state, she jumps out of the ring. | |

Subverted in The Scorpion King prequel Rise of a Warrior when Mathayus and his friends need to bypass some guards. Ari tells Leila to use her feminine charms to distract them. She gives him a disapproving look, but seemingly goes along with it. When she accosts the guards, they mistake her for a concubine and direct her to her intended location, and she opts to knock them out instead. | |

One Piece: Boa Hancock turns it into killed by the sexy. Her power allows her to turn anyone attracted to her into stone, and she's been objectively described as the most beautiful woman on the planet. Naturally, Luffy is immune, because he seems to have no concept of "sexy", having taken "Chaste Hero" to the extreme. For those who are attracted to her, the only known defense is to distract themselves with pain (for example, a Marine Vice Admiral stabs himself in the leg to avoid being turned to stone). Despite not being able to use those powers in Impel Down (Devil Fruit users, including those recognized as allies, are restrained using Sea Stone before entering) she makes good use of this to deliver a message to Ace. (The catcalls from the other prisoners distract Magellan, and his entourage is just as frightened of him as the prisoners are. As a result, nobody hears the message Boa gives to Ace.) Earlier, Mr. 2 Bon Clay would transform into Nami to distract Sanji. Incidentally, Mr. 2 is one of the people who'd be immune to Hancock's power, seeing as he's very, very gay. Or possibly very, very metrosexual; he endorses ambiguous gender identity, not that the subject is treated with any respect whatsoever. His sexual orientation never comes up. He's insane, but also innocent as all get out. Item two, she has no problem taking down completely straight women, so gay men should be completely within her batting range. The truly asexual are her Kryptonite. Or possibly it's those with no aesthetic sense whatsoever... Much later, Mr. 2 Bon Clay does it again on vice warden Hannyabal. Indeed, Hannyabal has this problem a lot. When he first shows up, he's remembering when he first joined the staff of the facility and a female inmate nearly escaped the same way. Nami herself has used this tactic frequently in her early career as a pirate targeting thief. Frequently showing a bit of cleavage and faux vulnerability to distract a goon long enough to KO him with one strike. |

Leela says that the one thing men can't resist is hookers, and tells two of her fellow Feministas, "You know what to do." They proceed to put Bender in a skimpy outfit, a wig, and lots of makeup. He goes out where the guards can see him and says; "Hello, boys!". The guards just start shooting at him. | |

In "The Wake-Up Call," a late-season episode of The West Wing, conflict arises when, after a British plane is mistakenly shot down over Iranian airspace, Chief of Staff C.J. contacts the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom without waking President Bartlett first (his multiple sclerosis means he must get as much rest as possible). When a reporter hears rumors about Bartlett not being on C.J.'s call, he comes snooping around to ask questions. As it happens, the winner of the Miss World Pageant is at the White House that day for the champion's annual visit with the administration. Deputy Press Secretary Annabeth Schott quickly sends Miss World to intercept the reporter, who's completely smitten and forgets all about his story. | |

Sword of Truth Kahlan leads a midnight raid on an enemy army naked and covered in white paint. The white paint is because for all the enemy knows, she's dead and returning to torment them as a ghost. The naked part is because if nothing else, a naked woman on a horse will provide enough of a distraction for her other soldiers to gut the enemy. Also from the same series: Kahlan trying to distract a group of rapists and murderers long enough to regain her power to use against them, Jebra distracting a guard by making out with him while some prisoners escape, and... well, let's not even get into what Nicci gets up to. |

This trope shows up in the Pokémon games via the move Attract and the ability Cute Charm, which both give the Infatuation status ailment to opposite-sexed Pokemon. Under Infatuation, a Pokemon has a 50% chance of being too busy mooning over their opponent to actually attack them, and Gym Leader Whitney's frequent use of Attract is just one of many reasons why she is That One Boss. | |

It Happened One Night is the filmic Trope Codifier. To wit: Clark Gable's character tries to catch the attention of cars by sticking out his thumb, but no one stops. After a few moments, Claudette Colbert gets sick of waiting, marches to the roadside, and hikes up her dress to show off one of her legs. Cue a car instantly pulling over. From then on, every comedy in which someone hitchhikes by showing their leg is an Homage to the classic way Colbert gets the job done. | |

As the two women dance around in swimsuits and the crew line the rails to enjoy the sight, he's waving about a video camera recording the whole thing, enabling Mission Control to get pictures of the crew's faces (and gripe about why they're not selected for missions like these). | |

In Diva, Alba, a young lady, is shoplifting LP records in a store, sneaking them into a hidden compartment in a portfolio case. When a clerk asks to examine the case, he only finds several nude photos of her, and hands it back with embarrassed apologies. | |

A comparatively tame version of this features in Lost in Camelot; with Bo already involved with Merlin, once she establishes that Morgana also has feelings for him while she is attracted to both of them, Bo dresses herself and Morgana in identical outfits for a private celebration of Merlin's birthday, reasoning that this way she and Morgana can talk Merlin into the idea of Morgana joining their relationship by keeping him too distracted to think about countering their proposal until they've shown him some of the "benefits" of it. | |

On Leverage both Parker and Sophie often play this role with Sophie being more emotionally seductive while Parker simply relies on her looks. Tara however takes this to a whole new level with a much more direct approach to get inside a hotel room by pretending to be Naked People Trapped Outside. | |

My-HiME. In episode 9, due to a confluence of circumstances, Mai, Natsuki, and Mikoto are stranded on the side of a beach road in the predawn hours of the morning. Natsuki loses at Rock–Paper–Scissors, so she has to strike a Sexy Pose to flag down a ride to hitchhike. The car she flags down is full of her friends, who start laughing at the Tom Boy acting very out of character indeed. | |

Subverted in Fairy Tail, where most of the time when Lucy tries or is forced into attempting this, the enemy is more confused than distracted, and keeps attacking anyway. In the first episode, she invokes this in an attempt to get a Spirit Key for a reduced rate from a magic item store. It does work, but not nearly to the extent that she expected (or would have liked). Also used when Natsu realizes an enemy is on his way and gets Lucy to dress up in a revealing outfit and pose seductively in order to distract him. It fails. Used again when Gemini transformed into Lucy and lifted her top to distract Taurus. Lucy and Cana use it rather effectively during the S-Rank test to win their duel against Fried and Bixlow. Except for the fact that Fried and Bixlow are intentionally throwing the fight. The sexy strategy only appears to work. Also averted during the Tenrou Island arc, when Grimoire Heart's Azuma holds the Fairy Tail mages as hostages by sapping all of their magic through his uprooting of the great Tenrou Tree, all except for Erza, whom he provokes into fighting him at full power by this means. At a point during the fight, Erza briefly considers requipping into her newly-acquired Seduction Armor and seeing if a change of tactics availed her, but she ultimately decides against the notion. In the 7th, OVA, though, Erza makes some tears in her Sarashi bandage halter top to show large amounts of cleavage to lure a bunch of alligators towards her so she can pummel them. |

During the third and final challenge, Hercules is attacked by multiple foes until Alflyse (queen of the Dark Elves) hikes up her dress, causing Hercules to ogle her and lose the challenge (howewer Alflyse declares him the winner anyway and starts flirting with him amorously). | |

In Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, this is given a darker edge if Ezio achieves "middle" rank with the Courtesans' Guild, unlocking the ability of Courtesans to distract Horsemen, but also somehow arming every affiliated courtesan in Rome with a dosage of poison which they can inject a guard with. Unfortunately, since the player can't control this at all, it sometimes leads to a distraction of a far less desirable sort... | |

In Granblue Fantasy, Claudia lifts her skirt in front of Soriz during their match in the "A Thousand Reasons" event (as she is aware that her opponent is a Dirty Old Man).

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles In the episode "Automatic for the People", Cameron dons a low-cut top to attract the attention of power plant's security guards during a pool game, so she can scan their security cards. It proves quite effective at being distracting, too... When Cameron is talking to John in the episode "Mr. Ferguson Is Ill Today". In order to psychologically probe him, she deliberately strips down to shorts and a tight white shirt with a clearly-visible red bra underneath it and lays down onto the bed next to him. The subsequent exchange is tense and distracting for multiple, fairly obvious reasons. |

Meta example: players in Team Fortress 2 using hentai/pornography sprays to distract enemies. Funnily enough, as of 2012-2013, poni sprays are more often used for this purpose. So many players are bronies, they get easily distracted by them. Bonus points if it's an image macro. These two Nerf NOW!! comics are entirely Truth in Television. A fine example in video! Can happen at times at Half-Life and Counter-Strike also. |

Doctor Who: "The Brain of Morbius" has a subtle non-sexual example: the Doctor knows Solon is obsessed with stealing his head, but needs Solon's medical training to examine Sarah's damaged eyes for him. So, for the scene where he's trying to persuade Solon to help him, notice he's got his shirt collar and cravat undone, revealing his neck (and that Solon is visibly stirred by this). Ace volunteers to distract a guard during "The Curse of Fenric", advising the Doctor that she's "not a little girl anymore". That was weird enough for fans not used to seeing this particular companion presented in a sexual way, but the ensuing and very strange conversation with the guard, involving time seeming to move at different speeds, did not provide the sort of dialogue typically associated with leading women flirting with guards. "The Doctor Dances": Rose references this trope and resigns herself to doing it. However, Jack points out that the person they're going to distract is a) a friend of his and b) gay. He then volunteers to do the distracting himself, and adds, "Don't wait up." "The Doctor's Daughter": Jenny seduces a guard to get his weapon. She just flirts with him and snogs him, not taking anything off — the tight T-shirt rendering it somewhat not required... with the camera panning to a somewhat startled Doctor (her father by less than conventional means) and Donna (his Best Friend), who smirks at him and says, "I'd like to see you try that." Subverted later on, when Donna suggests using her "womanly wiles". The Doctor says to save them for an emergency, clearly deeming the situation as not one - or just weirded out enough for one adventure. "Space": According to Rory, Amy passed her driving exam with the help of a short skirt. |

Played straight — to quite a few people's dismay — in Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, when Uhura does a fan dance to distract some guards. Nichelle Nichols didn't look bad for 57, but was hardly the usual sexy distraction. Given that the men she was dancing for were living on a Crapsack World for years without the company of a woman, they probably liked her just fine. | |

In Assassin's Creed II, the courtesans you find throughout the cities are (after Sequence 1) on Ezio's side. For some coin, he can hire a cluster of them to surround him as he walks the city — their sexiness being sufficient distraction to keep Ezio "invisible" while he walks the streets. He can also send the hooker entourage to "distract" troublesome guards, though he'll automatically "lose" two of his four courtesans whenever he passes close enough to a group of guards, as in both cases the courtesans are occupied with their distraction so that Ezio can move on. | |

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: Episode "Angel's Share". To make a long story short, Chief Aramaki and an associate are being held hostage in a London winery. Motoko approaches an officer wearing her trenchcoat so that her cleavage is exposed, asking him for a "favor". He's distracted for a critical moment, whereupon The Major knocks him out and takes his uniform. Ironically, she usually wears less clothes... In 2nd Gig two female androids are sent down to "entertain" the guards who are immediately suspicious, but provide enough of a distraction for Section 9 personnel in therm-optics to take them out. In the same episode the Major (in a Navel-Deep Neckline Sexy Backless Outfit) acts as a distraction for a perverted businessman with a thing for cyborgs. Lampshaded in the Man/Machine Interface manga where an operative warns his men not to be distracted by Motoko's microskirt, as it's just "eyepull". |

In No Need for Bushido, Lord Masuhiro was captured by a largely female clan of ninjas. These ninjas deliberately dress in a way to use this to their advantage.

In Desperados, Kate O'Hara can do this to attract some kinds of enemies and lead them away from their posts and into deadly traps – you know, like in real life. It's far from the Game-Breaker it seems to be, though: a good deal of the enemies are disciplined enough not to approach her, the trick doesn't work if the mook's too agitated, and even the dumber ones will pretty soon get that Kate is stringing them along and will knock her out or even shoot her – once again, as in real life. In fact, in later levels, it's a better tactic to leave her out in the open without using the garter trick, wait for them to come restrain her once she's spotted and knock them out once they get in range of her boot – the enemy types that will fall for this I Surrender, Suckers move are much more varied than the lustful ones. | |

Batgirl: An early story has Barbara Gordon bemoaning the fact that her "female instincts" are hindering her abilities as a crime fighter. She regains her confidence by exploiting this trope, mixed with some Obfuscating Stupidity (pretending she got a run in her tights as an excuse to stretch out and caress her leg), to distract a criminal so Batman and Robin can catch him. | |

There are guards in the tunnels under the detention area she's trying to break into, so she dresses as a prostitute (thanks to the slit in her dress, she does this trope literally).

Assassin's Creed: In Assassin's Creed II, the courtesans you find throughout the cities are (after Sequence 1) on Ezio's side. For some coin, he can hire a cluster of them to surround him as he walks the city — their sexiness being sufficient distraction to keep Ezio "invisible" while he walks the streets. He can also send the hooker entourage to "distract" troublesome guards, though he'll automatically "lose" two of his four courtesans whenever he passes close enough to a group of guards, as in both cases the courtesans are occupied with their distraction so that Ezio can move on. In Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, this is given a darker edge if Ezio achieves "middle" rank with the Courtesans' Guild, unlocking the ability of Courtesans to distract Horsemen, but also somehow arming every affiliated courtesan in Rome with a dosage of poison which they can inject a guard with. Unfortunately, since the player can't control this at all, it sometimes leads to a distraction of a far less desirable sort... In Assassin's Creed: Revelations the courtesans are replaced by Romani dancers, though the desired effect is still the same. |

Subverted in Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle. Martha, who is in the body of a sexy Action Girl in the titular video game, is sent to distract some guards. However, since Martha in real life is a nerdy loner, her attempts at flirting just come off as incredibly awkward even after she's given some lessons by Bethany and the guards being NPCs mean that they just keep repeating the same line of dialogue in response to her flirting. So she decides to just beat them up. | |

Jade Dragon: How does the newly modified and much less stealthy Viper (or rather, Fei in Viper's body) manage to get away from Jackie? By flashing her newly "modified" bosom to catch him off guard. | |

The Nightmare Before Christmas plays with this trope. To distract Oogie Boogie, Sally (a living doll who can detach and reattach her limbs) shows him one curvy leg around a distant corner, while the rest of her works to free Santa Claus. Mr. Boogie is not pleased to discover that her leg is detached. | |

Conan the Barbarian (1982). Conan of all people pulls this stunt, on another man no less. In order to infiltrate Thulsa Doom's cult, he lures away one of their priests for a private chat with homoerotic overtones, then knocks him unconscious and steals his robe. | |

Full Metal Panic!: The Second Raid. The soldiers guarding Amalgam's giant mecha are pleasantly surprised when twin Emotionless Girls Yu Fan and Yu Lan come in and start smooching and feeling them up. When a mook takes his hand off the AK-47 he's holding to accept a hotel room key, one of the twins grabs the weapon and promptly blows his head off. Everyone else dies rapidly after that. | |

Star Trek: The Next Generation "Unification". Riker runs into difficulties with an Obstructive Bureaucrat called Dokachin, so he asks Counsellor Troi for help. This seems natural enough, as Troi is an empath who's done this sort of thing before. The moment Dokachin sees Troi, however, he instantly deduces Riker's real plan. Happens in reverse in one episode ("Angel One") where they come upon a planet where the women are the rulers and men are the servants. Riker dresses in a very thin and mostly mostly bare-chested tunic to get on the good side of the matriarch of the society. |
