One day This Troper wanted to draw something and listened to her favorite band for inspiration. She never finished that drawing, because she was Distracted By The Sexy of the singer's voice.

One of the reasons This Troper can't remember anything from Latin class is because he spent almost all of it be distracted by sexy.

This Troper is the sort of woman who wears baggy T-shirts and sports bras on a regular basis. Recently, This Troper played Audrey in a production of Little Shop of Horrors. The costume consisted of an ultralow-cut [Stripperific] leapord-print mini-dress (complete with a super push-up bra),complete with a leather corset-belt, red four inch stiletto heels, a blonde wig and bimbo-tastic makeup. The first time she appeared onstage wearing said costume, Mushnik forgot his lines, and Seymour actually tripped down the stairs for real when he made his first entrance. This Troper was quite proud of herself.

My Dad once described a scene from his college days. A girl with "more movements than a Swiss watch" was walking down the street. Some poor shmoo was riding a bike in the other direction. Except his head kept turning to watch the girl as they passed each other. The guy promptly ran his bike up a tree.

This troper uses this trope for fun and randomly flashes a lot of cleavage to her partner. Without fail, it stops him in mid sentence and makes him lose his train of thought.

This troper isn't the Distracted, but the Distractee. Short shorts, thigh highs, low-cut shirt... and the ability to win any game. Ever.

Except for ''The Game''

...OH '''GODAMN IT!'''

I hate you.

Dear Sir or Madam, you are an ass.

Go beat {{Doom}} 2. After all, "To win the game you must kill me, John Romero". Therefor, if you beat Doom 2, you'll have won The Game.

Beer pong becomes the easiest game ever if your best friend and teammate deepthroats her beer bottle while the other team is shooting.

Pretty much all people with any kind of sexuality.

I was walking behind my girlfriend who was wearing tight jeans at the time. Needless to say, I didn't see that stop sign coming.

Happened to me just yesterday with ''my'' girlfriend. CLANG!!

Happens very often for me. Whether it be a real life example, or a game character I particularly like, I am very easily distracted. My friends have started taking advantage of this. Case in point (during a game of Brawl): #QUOTE# Friend: Hey Troper! #QUOTE# Me: Uh? #QUOTE# Friend: Shirtless Ocarina Liiiink~ #QUOTE# Me: Aaaaaah... *melt*

This troper was one day in gym class shooting hoops when one of his female classmates suddenly said "Look Over Here". She then proceeded to pull down her shorts exposing her spanx. Needless to say this troper was distracted. While distracted friend of said female classmate threw a basketball at my face proppeling me to the groundwhile they walked away laughing and calling me a perv. This troper had never had such an EpicFail before and has learned that if a girl suddenly starts showing skin for no apparent reason, it is NEVER good.

She's the one that flashes you and she calls you a perv...

Some lesbians are vulnerable to this. Show this troper a woman in a suit and she's likely to walk into a pole.

Oh yes. This lesbian troper has knocked over many bookshelves while checking out the hot short haired barista at books-a-million. Needless to say I drink a lot of coffee while I'm there.

That's not just lesbians. This heterosexual male troper has been known to get so turned on by a woman in a suit that he almost fell off of Slieve League.

This troper subverted it. While taking a science test he noticed that the hottest girl in the class had a top that was too loose on and that her boobs kept falling out whenever she leaned over. He was good and distracted but still managed a B+ on that final. Best day ever.

This makes being a bisexual a bit of a strain on the neck, frankly. Anime conventions... pretty boys in dresses and hot girls in suits. Woof!

I feel your [[strike:pain]] for you.

This (female) troper was talking with her two best (female) friends while walking down a hallway at the local anime convention. About 30 seconds later, this troper realized that said friends had mysteriously vanished. Reason? As they later put it... "Did you see that guy's abs?!" As well, at the same convention, this troper walked into a small metal café table due to an absolutely gorgeous Fran cosplayer.

This troper was leaving a con when she passed by a very attractive and curvy woman without a shirt on, only body paint. Very nearly lost her group.

This troper's (female) dormmates ran into the coffee table at the sight of naked Raiden, repeatedly, she spent a ridonkulous amount of time as naked raiden just for the reaction.

This female troper was making a left turn when she spotted a pickup truck drive by. The pickup truck was filled with young, hot shirtless guys. This troper very nearly ran a pedestrian over.

This male troper has occasional moments of StupidSexyFlanders that lead to this. Normally TheQuietOne, some spectacularly hot guys have the ability to turn me into a screaming homosexual.

Ask any straight male ''{{beatmania}} IIDX'' player what makes Last Message so hard to full combo. I'll give you a hint: 0:57-1:00.

This troper cannot clear the ''pop'n music'' song "Fake" with Dance Ojama turned on, for a number of reasons: 1. A character is partially blocking the screen. 2. A showgirl is partially blocking the screen. 3. A {{Stripperiffic}} showgirl is partially blocking the screen.

This troper has had this happen. While Driving.

Additionally, it has also happen to the same troper, with certain cars. (Also while driving)

My female friend was the cause of a deconstruction of this. She...wasn't to happy about it.

This troper once crashed his moped into a lamppost because he was distracted by a girl wearing what could charitably be described as a belt and a bikini.

This troper and her family were taking a walk. A bus with a large swimsuit ad on its side drove by. This troper's dad stared at it, them promptly ran into the glass of a nearby bus stop. Cue to everyone else falling over with laughter.

You see, this is why I love peripheral vision.

Seconded. You can keep "the sexy" in your line of sight, and oncoming obstacles will be slightly blurrier but nonetheless present. That is exactly what you meant, right?

I was thinking he or she meant the inverse of that. You keep your eyes on the obstacles but watch "the sexy" with your peripheral vision (because they can't accuse you of staring at them if you aren't).

Glass reflection might also help sometimes.

This straight troper has to stop and stare at any old photos of Sandra Church as Louise in ''{{Gypsy}}''. One of her (lesbian) friends knows this, and once sent me a photo of Church while I was talking to her and half-doing my math homework. I completely forgot about the math for about five minutes.

This (lesbian) troper was once at a store where her straight friend's crush worked. She was texting with the friend and the conversation went (translated from text speak), "He has blonde hair and bangs, and stocks shelves." "I don't see him, but there's this hot girl I've been following around for the past ten minutes so I haven't been able to look."

This troper had a teacher in high school. She was so incredibly sexy that everyone (''everyone'') was too busy ogling her or fantasizing about her to pay attention to her lessons.

There was a sub in my high school that was only about five years (if that) older than the seniors, and sexy enough to distract at least three or four of the girls in class.

A teacher in my school is a lot like this. (it didn't help that she was Indian, this troper's favorite ethnicity). The next semester in English I was talking to someone else about her and he said that "If she catches you looking at her ass, she just smiles".

Happened with a couple of my professors, including one I ''know'' to be lesbian (I've met her partner). In particular, the other one (a postgrad just finishing up her Ph.D at the time). I had to keep mentally castigating myself. "Pay attention to the ''material!'' '''''Stop''''' imagining what she looks like naked, dammit!"

This trope knows no borders, either: This same troper managed to nearly take out an old lady, because my eyes were following the extraordinarily hot HongKong ChineseGirl walking nearby, and not my path of travel. It doesn't help that I'm TheBigGuy compared to most of the population, and could hurt somebody that way.

You think that's bad? Try serving a religious mission where you're not even allowed to date. Trust me, after two years of doing your best of trying to not think of attractive people as potential... well, potential ''anything'', almost anyone starts looking attractive at distracting levels. Once, during this troper's mission, he was talking to a fellow missionary who stopped talking in the middle of a sentence when he saw a particularly pretty woman, and then he suddenly started mumbling "so... beautiful..."

In some rural Xhosa townships it is considered unnecessary for unmarried women to wear tops. I spent eighteen months of my mission in township. Pity me.

This troper fell victim to it while working out. Few first impressions are less sexy than falling off a treadmill. In my defense, yoga pants. Just.. yoga pants.

Are you kidding me? This troper cannot think of anything more {{adorkable}} than falling off a treadmill. Plus, a lot of girl would have that nurturing/mother instinct kick in when someone else gets hurt.

Me. It's hard to concentrate when you have to sit next to the InnocentFanserviceGirl (who is over 13, mind you, and just about the only girl), who Gainaxes, is well-endowed, and I was constantly paired up with her. Yep.

This troper was walking in New York City when I saw a woman in a jogging outfit bend over at the waist to tie her shoe. No less than four drivers stopped at the red light practically drooled out the window at her. All four missed the light.

It's not just males, either. This female Troper was driving past a college-heavy area and happened to have the very good fortune to notice a group of very drool-worthy college guys hanging out near the local outdoor pool. She nearly crashed the car.

This troper (male, straight) almost lost a judo match to a female opponent due to this. When I found myself staring down her suit and noticed she had no bra on I completely forgot about escaping from the hold she had me in for at least five full seconds...

This troper goes out of his way to Invert this trope at every opportunity. He fails 50% of the time. It doesn't help that he's one of 7 males on a choir with 30+ female members, three of whom do ''not'' have the MostCommonSuperpower. Or that it's spring, and he's in college, where 54% of the students are female. In the spring.

You poor soul.

If this troper ever finds that cute girl he saw when he was 14, he's gonna sue her due to him walking into a mailbox shortly after laying eyes on her.

This troper gets distracted by pretty boys rather easily (hell, ''everything'' distracts me, but hey). To the point of an online friend sending a supermodel pictures page, and said troper... Forgetting her friend to look at the hotness. Luckily for her, she lives in a place where most guys are ugly, so, she only gets DistractedByTheShiny instead.

That's nothing - This Troper got so distracted by a ''very attractive'' young man while she was eating at a fast food spot that she managed to smash her burger into her face. Thankfully, the guy didn't notice.

I'm sorry but that's just too funny. :-D

This troper, who is generally very good about this sort of thing, found himself taken aback when he saw a classmate who was wearing a very sexy "Riddler" costume.

I'm sorry, Mr. Critic, what were you saying about Superman? I got distracted by how pretty and girly your eyes looked. (In my defence, I'm helpless when it comes to men anyone who looks good in mascara and eyeliner.)

Sorry, what? I was busy staring at his goatee...

Meanwhile, this troper often doesn't take in anything TheNostalgiaChick is saying in her videos, being too distracted by her lips.

This (lesbian) troper once accidentally ran a red light when a very buxom young woman wearing a bikini top and very tight exercise shorts went jogging past.

This troper has a very odd subversion. He's only been DistractedByTheSexy three times in his 17 years of what could theoretically be called life, and in each time, he stared, and sorta slammed headfirst into a different... ahem... well endowed personage of the other gender. BY ACCIDENT HAH HAH I AM NOT A PERVERT LOLZ.

Just for fun, this troper showed her two best friends the video of Adam Lambert's performance of 'Ring of Fire.' They sat staring blankly at the computer for about five minutes after it was finished. In the words of one of them - "Oh. My. God." *drool*

A little while ago I had a mock exam at college. There is this girl I quite fancied in the group. I'd definitely describe her as pretty, even without trying, yet this day she managed to make herself look even prettier than normal, and also more grown up (she's a few years younger than me, which had always been an issue), yet at the same time it was quite subtle and not over the top (it was mainly how she'd done her hair). When the tutor spread us out for the mock, I ended up sitting almost opposite this girl. For the whole time I kept looking over at her and couldn't stop thinking about her, suddenly she'd gone from "she's cute" to "wow!". I'm fairly sure it has something to do with my unusually low mark.

This troper can think of a thousand times I've watched something and experienced this, but the most recent and funniest example happened a week ago. I was playing the board game SORRY! with my mother, younger brother, and younger sister in our kitchen. The television was turned on to the local news, but then it cut to a commercial and I noticed it was a preview for the new romantic comedy, ''The Proposal''. It wasn't my turn, so I just started paying attention to the preview, thinking about how goddamn gorgeous Ryan Reynolds is, and then I heard everyone else saying, "It's ''your'' turn." I just said, "Sorry, I was distracted by the Ryan Reynolds."

This troper thinks you're compleatly excused. He has that effect on everyone. And I do mean EVERYONE.

This has been happening disturbingly frequently to this (straight, female) troper. Sitting at the springs with friends? Cue me staring at the ridiculously hot guy swimming around. Talking while the television is on? I'm too busy looking at the hot guy on TV to pay attention to your conversation.

This troper was working late in the office (his work situation needs him and his staff to live in the same building they work in)... when his HOT boss walked by. In a Stripperiffic black corset and stockings. With matching lace collar. The fact that her fiancée was right next to her (in gender-bending blonde wig and blue tights) did not stop me from exclaiming "Oh my God...wow" and forgetting about his paper for the next 5 minutes.

What sort of job is this???

Resident Adviser. This troper has since graduated and so left the job, but is still friends with her on Facebook, which is where he found out that she was coming back from a theme party. Still...wow.

This troper's entire male staff of the same job is distracted by one of our bosses similarly. Helps that she's better endowed than the rest of the staff who actually are our age.

This troper has been tricked by her one male friend many a time to look at other women's butts. It is usually in my Art class and then I get yelled at for not working for the past 5 minutes.

While This Troper was delivering a presentation on Russia in history class, one of the girls in the back decided that right there and then would be a good time to adjust her bra. This Troper lost a good 15 seconds going "And...uh...and..."

Back in the 70s, this troper's dad had a job building pools. One day, he was working with an awl and some building material on his lap. Cue three hot girls in see-through bikinis. Cue {{Distracted By The Sexy}}. Cue an awl through his leg. This troper is still waiting for Dumb To Live}} Natural Selection to catch up with his father.

Subverted here. This Troper is ''very'' perverted, but also very good at multitasking. When playing video games together, his girlfriend tends to forget that when she wants to cheat.

This Troper went with her mum to get a new dishwasher today. While mum was talking to the salesguy, I noticed a poster near the staircase of a naked woman and a naked man (waist-up, sadly). I ''might'' have been staring at the poster until mum tugged at my sleeve and told me to come along... (In my defense, that guy really was hot...)

This female troper was walking up the stairs when random thoughts and shot attention span kicking in. Somehow, I don't remember why, I started thinking about David Tennant and BAM! I walked right into a wall and ended up with minor head trauma. There was also that time I was looking through my 'hawt guys' folder, which is mostly full of picture of David Tennant & John Barrowman, some without shirts on or just incredibly sexy, mind you, and failed to realize I was slipping off the chair. Hello, injured tailbone. Thankfully, this troper likes geeks and rarely looks at muscle-men, so it doesn't happen much. Annoyingly enough though, according to everyone else, I'm just pretty/cute/hot/attractive enough to make them all walk into things, which isn't something you'd want. And I can't understand why; I don't wear makeup, I don't wear skanky clothes, I don't brush my hair, and I don't really smile. Which means I should ether start getting uglier or use my wiles to rule the world. Who wants to be second-in-command?

David Tennant is a remarkable example of this trope. This heterosexual troper one stopped mid sentence for 12 minutes to watch the end of a Doctor Who episode before resuming my speech. Needless to say, the other person had long since forgotten what I was talking about.

Dibs on being your second in command. This Troper is also rather pretty, especially when she smiles, and is also often Distracted By The Nerdy Sexy.

If anyone ever calls this troper on the phone while she's watching certain animes, they should be prepared for the conversation to get derailed mid-sentence, usually with some variation on "WHOA! LOOK AT THAT!" Yeah, I've been told it's annoying.

This troper was playing the Sumo Minigame in TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess, and his sister walked into the room. Despite the FanDisservice, she still walked into the closet and bumped her head.

I once forgot my lines on stage during a school play due to this trope. Whoops.

ThisTroper tends to bicycle along the Chicago lakefront rather often in the summer. On the nice days everybody is out jogging, and with a lot of fit young women bouncing along in tight-fitting clothing ... it's distracting indeed. Not to the point of causing an accident, fortunately.

Happens to this troper often when he's exercising, of all things. Now, this troper happens to be bi, which doesn't help a bit. But in the end, he blames the fact that the treadmills happen to be directly in front of the stationary bikes. He completely blames that. Usually it takes a good 10 to 15 seconds to snap out of it and get back to pedalling.

This troper was riding his bike as a teen, when a young woman in painted-on jeans came into view. He hit the back of a pick up hard enough to dent the tailgate and end up in the bed. He would like to report that, with age, this goes away. But last year he returned to College for a Masters at the ripe old age of 36, and thanks to the co-eds, has been bruised ever since.

While playing SecondLife this (straight male playing a female) man was chatting with his (bi female playing a male) friend during a dance. When he noticed she hadn't responded in almost ten minutes, he sent a text by phone seeing if she was alright. She texted back, "Girl in front of me. *wigglewigglewiggle* So I cammed over for a look... Conversation over.

While playing CityOfHeroes, this troper was killed by a pair of trolls, because he was distracted by a hot NPC.

A while back this troper went to the movies with a few friends. On coming out of the cinema, she caught sight of the poster for "The Other Boleyn Girl". Cue stopping dead and staring until her friends pulled her on. Come on, Scarlett Johanssen and Natalie Portman in corsets? Unfair.

This troper has rather "ample" charms, and uses them to her absolute advantage. Wearing an extremely low-cut top, a push-up bra and leaning over the table a lot while playing "Magic: The Gathering" is an almost guaranteed win against a male opponent.

You are a mad genius.

This Troper is ''constantly'' distracted her guitar tutor's odd brand of sexy, to the degree of being absolute crap in lessons because of it. She especially melts when he smiles, mostly because this troper is doing a horrible, '''horrible''' job and he is incredibly amused by it.

What? Killing all the humans? Sure, whatever Nuada, can you practice with the spear again?

This one cannot stop staring at a certain lady in her art block who has very large breasts. She nearly made this one walk into a radiator.

This troper used to have this problem. Fortunately, it stopped when he realized that none of the women he was distracted by would bother to notice him even if he were on fire.

This (gay, male, and sexually frustrated) troper experiences this on a regular basis. The worst time, where he nearly tripped over himself several times over the course of a day, was a recent visit to a Highland Games Festival (thank god for the kilt). He also just recently started taking a kung fu class with more than a few cute guys in it - he expects to eventually get smacked while sparring because of a sexy distraction.

This poor guy was almost hit by a car once because the driver spent too much time oogling a pair of legs in hotpants at a bus stop.

This (female, bi) troper was almost hit by a car when she absently stepped off the pavement, fixated on the ''incredibly'' tight trousers on the woman ten feet ahead of her.

This troper rarely ever runs into distractingly cute boys, but when she does, it results in disaster. See: the day she nearly drove her car onto a curb because of the hot guy on a bike, or the day when she froze and watched a guy walk by.

This troper tends to get this while cycling in the summer. Good reaction times have averted accidents so far, but his sudden snaps from ogling to evading poles have elicted the occasional smile and giggle from the cause.

Has happened many times to this troper, but this one is the most recent: I was riding my bike to the beach when four hot, shirtless, speedo wearing, completely soaked in water men walked off of the sand and into view. They all had brilliant (and sexy to me) tattoos. The hot near naked drenched-ness I could have probably torn my eyes away from, but those damn tattoos... I crashed into a railing and flew a pretty good distance onto the sand, where I managed to land on the only large rock within sight.

Even just thinking about this trope is apparently bad enough, as I entered it into the address bar as "Distracted By The Troper". God only knows which troper I was thinking about. More pertinently, I've completely lost trains of thought about what I was looking for upon spotting the brutally hot girl at the comic book store.

Happened to this troper once when an insanely hot girl chose to sat next to him on the bus. I missed my stop by several blocks.

This trope is the reason why this troper almost bumped into a poster at a bookstore.

This troper was heavily DistractedByTheSexy due to avery hot Estonian woman he met in a weekend class. Too bad it turned out she was married. WhatAnIdiot! Fortunately, this troper cease-and-desisted, for though he is a CovertPervert, he realises EvenEvilHasStandards.

For this I shall surely win the internets: Walks past hot girl with earphones on. Girl is tying shoelaces. Troper approaches, looking suave as hell. Another girl hops down the path. Both girls start making out. Sam makes a sharp turn, DistractedByTheSexy more than ever. Falls onto train tracks. See's train approaching in distance. #QUOTE# ''"Shit."''

Yeah, man, you win. Placed in mortal peril by the sexy. You probably could have sued for criminal negligence, just being all dangerously sexy like that. I'd love to see that in court.

This happens to me ''far'' more often than it should. A meeting in a public place? Expect me to shut down mid-sentence at ''least'' once.

Happened to this anonymous troper and troper's mother recently. We were having a lovely conversation with Jurassic Park playing in the background and we weren't paying attention to it much until that scene with Jeff Goldblum with his shirt open came on (you know the one)... I actually stopped in mid-sentence to stare and momentarily forgot what we were talking about to begin with. So did my mom.

This troper's (straight, male) friend was complaining that his Chemistry grade was going down because he noticed he sat in behind of a really hot girl. Troper laughed hysterically and teased him about his attention span. The next day, this (lesbian) troper got a new seat in French... right next to the same girl. She now has her own troubles focusing in class. Karma's a bitch.

This troper has a few.

In high school (20years ago now), in junior year English class we had a group assignment. The hot red head with a gold sliver in her otherwise green eyes ended up sitting across from me, in a short skirt. I was looking down writing something looked up and saw, well they were white with red flowers on them. Cue me trying to avoid looking at her the rest of the day.

In college, walking back from the dining hall with my male friend. Suddenly, we both just changed our gait and stance. We stopped looked around and noticed two hotties checking us out. Subliminaly distracted.

More recently, I was working on a SAS program at my desk with headphones on. The short hot blond with {{MostCommonSuperpower}} knocks on my cubie. I turn and see {{SweaterGirl}}. She starts talking about something. {{MaleGaze}} tracks up thinking "Look at her face" and i notice her bra strap cutting into her shoulder and think she really should get a better fitting bra. Completely forgot everything she said as she also has nice blue eyes.

This troper once went to watch a play, where the attractive male lead had his shirt half-open. This resulted in most females(And probably a few males) not having any any idea what the boring first act was about, but damn, that was some chest.

I am like this whenever SummerGlau is onscreen in anything. Probably why I still can't tell you half of what happened in ''TheSarahConnorChronicles''...

This troper was waiting to get some popcorn yesterday during lunch at school. Just then, possibly the bustiest girl in school comes out to take the till, I was so....... occupied that she had to almost shake me to get my attention, I apologized after receiving my popcorn and left. I consider myself lucky I got away before I got hit, or before something else showed up...

A friend of mine (male) played chess in High School. Every match he made sure his similarly aged and quite attractive stepsister had a seat right by the game board. Cue winning streak.

This troper [=DMs=] for a D&D group with one quite attractive female player, who, on any sort of failed important die roll, finds some excuse to flash the group, then pretend she'd never made her first roll and try again. I'm not sure if she honestly thinks she's tricking anyone...but considering everyone else in the group, male or female, is into women, everyone's played along quite happily.

This troper has two examples: I was watching Home alone 2 with my family. Sure that sounds okay, except it has Tim Curry in it. I stared at the screen for twenty minutes in absolute stillness. My parents thought something bad had happened to me. The second time, I was sitting next to my tall, Indie, soulful eyed crush in maths. Needless to say, I did not get much work done that lesson.

This troper is asexual to the point of being able to completely ignore pretty much anything sexual--and I do mean anything, including up-close and personal sexy. But on several occasions, when a girl close to six feet tall walks by? Straight into the friggin' wall.

While I was trying to talk to my RA, whom I already had a bit of a crush on, one night about a problem in the building, my train of thought kept getting derailed by the tight top and shorts she was wearing at the time, and the way she was leaning against her door frame. I finally had to stare at the wall ''next'' to the door. Cue me in the hallway afterwards: #QUOTE# *''FacePalm''* I am ''such'' a dork.

Oddly specific example from this troper here, but she finds herself constantly distracted by Stein's ShirtlessScene in ''SoulEater''. Usually she's rewatching it to listen to(/read) the dialogue, because she likes to tell herself that she's attracted to his mind. But she tends to lose track of what they're saying entirely, especially when Medusa (this troper likes {{Shipping}}) starts touching his back...

This troper was working on a paper for her College Writing class while skimming the EarWorm trope page. In the music sub forum she clicked a link to the music video for Sorry Sorry by Super Junior, and then promptly forgot about her paper. Just the dancing, oh my God the dancing.

That would be my fault. I put that link in there. ^^;;

I deliver propane and went to one house for a delivery. The Lady of the House comes out to see what I'm doing,wearing yoga pants. I tell her I'm here to check the tank, she walks back inside and I walk into a rosebush.

This troper finds it difficult to hold conversations, focus on plotlines, do homework, or very much of anything when watching anything with CillianMurphy in it. Her mother has been known to cut herself off midsentence and go into very embarrassing bouts of squee rivaling anything a teenage fangirl can produce whenever she sees Sean Bean.

This troper also has The CillianMurphy Problem. In ''Batman Begins'', she didn't notice what he said for an entire scene due to his pretty eyes.

This troper, on the other hand, has the Sean Bean problem. He comes on the screen, I stop paying attention.

Subverted/inverted by this troper in his PE class, who has had suffering from this trope work to his advantage. This troper had to take a fitness test, one component of which involves sit-ups. Said troper was also paired with a fairly pretty girl wearing a low-cut shirt who was counting for him. For some reason, this troper was much more quick in doing his sit-ups when he got a sight of bewbs every time he completed one. He got 57 sit-ups in one minute.

This female Troper often gets distracted by the sexy...of anime characters.

It happens to me a lot of the time, but not by skimpy girls...nope, they just gotta look snappy with a suit and glasses is enough for me to lose my train of thought and walk into a lampost. The same even happens in videogame stores when I see copies of Bayonetta on the shelves...so yeah.

This troper has fortunately built up a resistance to this thanks to growing up in a neighborhood with many attractive girls. Being surrounded by hot girls was so commonplace that he doesn't get distracted anymore.

I was once distracted in science by a cute girl playing with her hair in a manner that seemed like it was begging for attention. Obviously, a lot of people noticed that I was staring, so I quickly looked away with a perfectly straight expression on my face. (I suppose it didn't help that I had a crush on her.)

This troper ran into the guy she's had a ''massive'' crush on for a while (who has a girlfriend, alas) after not seeing him for several weeks. He was all done up for the play he's currently in, and insisted on hugging her several times. When he turned to leave she backed into a wall.

This troper's mother was yelling at her for not paying attention to the conversation while her laptop was on her lap. So she minimized all her windows...except she had a shirtless Eric Northman as her wallpaper. Cue the maternal rage not sixty seconds later.

RavenGrave is prone to this. Often. But largely just with his ex-boyfriend. Said ex has, among other things, gorgeous brown eyes, a voice that would make tax returns sound sexy and a spine-tingle-inducing laugh, a face that would launch a thousand ships and an ass that would make them turn around, a GeekyTurnOn factor that can only be measured in scientific notation, glasses, and the sweetest personality known to humanity. I haven't seen him in over a month, we've barely spoken in over a year, and yet I still get shivers thinking about him.

We're sort of friends again now. In addition to all that, he's being {{Adorkable}} AND potentially a bit of a flirt. YEVON. DAMMIT. ALL.

This is the reason that this troper did so badly in the bowling class she took a while back.

{{DRCEQ}} saw a cosplayer at Sakura Con 2010 who looked EXACTLY like Lust from FullMetalAlchemist. She had the body, and in particular, the exact same facial features and build... like the character literally came out of the anime. I spotted her when she took an escalator down to the floor I just came from. I almost ended up tripping at the top of the escalator because of it.

This troper has an important part of a group project due and a concert to perform in tomorrow, as well as some other homework. That hasn't stopped her from spending hours looking at Scott McClure's website. Homework, what homework?

Trying to read something on a website when there's a nearby ad with a really pretty woman (or man, depending on your sexual orientation) staring at you? Good luck.

Oftentimes in school when the person next to me was trying to talk to me (joke/gossip/on-topic question), I'd just be staring across the room to my crush (whether her clothing was particularly sexy or not didn't matter much) and just go "hmh" and "Yeah, guess you're right..."

This troper sits opposite two busty girls in Maths (one sits on my table, one sits on the table behind the first). Oddly, I haven't envoked this trope with these two girls, but with the less busty girls sitting next to both of them. In fairness, I suspect one (or both) of them fancy my best friend, so I don't want to try anything with them, just in case I'm right. Not that I want to be proven right, IfYouKnowWhatIMean.

This troper can NOT do art (or anything else for that matter) while watching {{The Boondock Saints}}. Norman Reedus with an Irish accent is just too much. Not to mention all the delicious amounts of {{Fanservice}}...

This troper was walking back home after playing basketball. He kept bouncing the ball on the streets while walking, and a gorgeous girl walked by -- the ball flew out of his hands and went rolling downstreet. He could hear Gorgeous Girl giggling when he ran after it...

This troper hangs out at a cafe where occasionally someone he knows will walk in wearing a {{Stripperiffic}} leather outfit along with some out-of-the-ordinary accessories. Considering that he's often working on homework when this happens, this tends to make him go "Dammit!"

Does distracted by the sexy smell count? This troper was distracted from putting stock back for a good 20 minutes, trying to discreetly follow a woman around the store because she smelled THAT damn good. Pretty sure my boss didn't buy the "I thought she'd put a shirt in her purse" excuse.

This is pretty much a mild, but very obvious example. A few years back, this troper was in a play and was sitting around back stage. The guy I had a crush on at the time came right up to me and started talking about something important I needed to do. I started nodding as he talked, practically drooling over his facial features. He then had to say, "Allison, Allison!" and start snapping to get my attention. I blinked. "What?"

This troper would like to thank whoever pointed out this part of the ''{{DJMAX}}'' song "Ready Now" for preventing him from ever playing the song with a straight face again.

This troper has fond memories from college, especially during Thesis season when he and his team visited this shop to buy a Solar Panel for the team's project. After the deal was made and it was time to leave, one of the team members was busy saying goodbye to the pretty receptionist that he walked right into a desk with loud clunk. Cue laughter in the whole area.

Oh and just to add after remembering: when that incident happened, the other members of the team added insult to injury by singing part of a back then well known beer commercial heard on the radio whose theme was also about being DistractedByTheSexy.

This troper subverts this somewhat. He is not affected at all by "sexy" girls or depictions of the previous (to the point where he was looking at a poster for The Lost Symbol looking for a release date and didn't notice that he was standing in front of a lingerie mannequin), but finds that he completely loses track of any train of thought if his crush walks by.

This Troper spends most of his life in the local bookstore, or the coffee shop upstairs. He is frequently distracted by the sexy of the people who work in both, much to the amusement of his friend.

This troper can be distracted by shirtless guys running or jogging. Given that I live in Kansas, with its obscenely hot summers, this happens more often than I'd like. And throw in the fact that I'm usually driving at the time... Well, I'm just lucky that I haven't been in an accident yet.

When this troper was in England with his girlfriend, he found himself getting very...very distracted by his girlfriend simply just being there. Mumbling, stammering sentences...forgetting what he was doing on the keyboard...Ahhh, memories.

Where do I start? Sat next to one of my crushes in freshman year, barely remember anything. A recent field trip: Two hot girls, low-cut tops, and short shorts. Lab partners with the girl of my dreams for half of sophomore year(best six months of my life).

It doesn't help that Lab Partner Girl is also liked by my twin brother. We both are quite good-looking for our age, have higher-than-average intelligence, and are athletic. Oh yeah, and we're working on a webcomic together. The battle will be indeed epic.

There was a girl in my school who was a walking version of DistractedByTheSexy. She was one of those people who doesn't just have looks, but this entire presence about them. She caused a several student collision in the hallway once while getting a drink from the water fountain. My friend, walking in front of me, stopped to look, while I turned to look without stopping. Cue pileup. She also worked as a teacher's aid. During chorus one day, she was behind the teacher filing sheet music. Getting up on her tip toes, and bending down, and all while wearing jean shorts. We were... not exactly paying attention to the conducting.

This Troper recently watched her former-friend-turned-enemy overtaken by this trope. As he was sitting with a group of friends (me sitting a ways behind), a fairly cute girl walked by. I watched her a bit, and then looked at him. He stared at her in the most obvious way possible, said 'woah', shook his head, and then said 'what was I talking about again?' None of his friends noticed, but I did, and had a good laugh. I had no idea how prevalent this Trope was in RealLife

This just in: This troper overheard a conversation in the office elevator from two coworkers who witnessed a DistractedByTheSexy incident involving a male front line worker. That morning he was greeting eveyone coming in with a simple "Good Morning" while typing on his computer. Then suddenly this really sexy lady (said to be of HugeSchoolgirl proportions, and clad in a tubetop and micromini skirt) walked in. The said guy had a very different greeting for her (to get an idea of how it happened, he was busy typing on his computer, then merely sensed her presence and started greeting her before looking up and actually seeing who it was): #QUOTE#"''Good [=MorNIIIIIIIIIIING=]!!!''"

More recently, this troper began suffering it himself while frequenting a video arcade center. Nowadays many female patrons to these arcades are at least pretty girls, often with rather eye-catching outfits (and admittedly, this troper considers any sleeveless outfit as FetishFuel), ranging from cute {{Bishoujo}} types to Hot Moms, with a least half of them being Gamer Chicks. Cue a few mishaps while playing his favorite game (WanganMidnight Maximum Tune) after any one of those girls passes by or is sighted (example, he's in a race, he sees a sillouette of a rather curvacious girl on screen, he looks behind to see who it is... CRASH!). One instance can even be considered a case of ''Distracted by the sexy voice'' when one such girl yelled an obscenity when she was playing the same aforementioned game herself in an adjacent cabinet.

A friend of mine showed up a little late for class one morning, and looked a little harried, so I asked what had happened. She replied that she had almost crashed her car driving to Uni because she'd seen this really hot girl, and hence she wasn't watching where she was going and accidentally drove up on the median strip. This is why she's my life's PluckyComicRelief.

This troper also enjoys being the sexy, especially as she doesn't usually take great pains with makeup and hair whilst at school. It's fun to remind people that she is infact, female...and not horrible looking.

This troper might have learned more in high school Chemistry and Physics had her teacher not been ''brilliant'', young, and a former ''underwear model''. No joke. He had this habit of wearing button-down shirts with the sleeves half rolled up, and then lecturing while leaning against a table, bracing his arms so one could see those gorgeous muscles . . . it didn't help that he was also the most awesome sort of nerd.

This troper damn near crashed his car watching a well-endowed woman run across the street TOPLESS.

Luckily not doing anything important, but while preparing for another speech round during national qualifiers, one teammate of this troper changed out of her suit top (already super-hot) and for some time was in nothing but a "wife-beater" type undershirt. She was very well endowed. This troper cannot remember anything that happened anywhere near the time period of that tournament except for that image.

Scottv2 has this happen to him pretty much only when he's not in a relationship, but when he's not it happens often. He has been known to trail off to case up some nice rear end action. Basically a typical case of a hot-blooded male.

This (straight, male) Troper plays this straight VERY often (and my friends ''always'' call me out on it, BTW -- the phrase "I know what ''you'' were looking at!" is thrown around a lot), but also provides a bizzare inversion. In my sophomore Algebra II class in high school, for the first semester I sat behind a very hot girl who had a tendency to wear thongs. Naturally, this troper would frequently find himself focusing on not-the-day's-math-lesson. For the second semester, this troper sat behind an enormous and generally unpleasant male classmate -- and did consistenly ''worse'' in the class! No idea how that happened....

This gay troper has zoned out of many a conversation when a cute girl came into view. She remembers eating ice cream with a friend by the beach when an amazingly CuteClumsyGirl in a bikini and a mini skirt stumbled by us. Oh man, I didn't hear ANYTHING my friend was saying.

This troper will occasionally, when his boyfriend is getting into a fan-rant, grab him and kiss him passionately. Never fails to break his concentration.

Whoa. That's...really hot. Go you.

This is the REAL reason behind TVTropesWillRuinYourLife. This site is one sexy beast!

When this troper and his friend were engaged in a staring contest, his female friend gently squeezed her boobs together, and he broke eye contact, mouth agape. Everyone pointed out that I hadn't glanced, adding to my ambiguous sexuality.

This (bisexual) troper recently watched the Date My Avatar video with a friend and was staring at FeliciaDay the entire time.

It happened again, but this Time with {{Glee}}: #QUOTE# Me (thinking): Sorry, Kurt, did you say something? I was too busy admiring how hot Santana looked in that red prom dress.

Seriously, the second time I saw it I was talking to my parents, and I had to struggle not to stop mid-sentence.

Twice. Girl at school= a me into a wall. Second, sister is asking me question. Picture on tvtropes "Uh um, I don't... OH! I know! Nostalgia Critic}} Elephant!!!"

This Troper sometimes has trouble sympathising with a protagonist in a movie when the antagonist is played by someone sexy. Even when the bad guy does something bad, it might not be so squicky to her as if another person did it. AlanRickman...

This tropette's speech teacher told us a story like this. His world history class (which he didn't enjoy very much) was in a big lecture hall with very comfortable chairs and low lighting, and his seat was all the way in the back row. At 8 am, this pretty much seems like an invitation to take a nice nap. He said the only thing that kept him awake was the woman who sat next to him who fancied mini skirts :)

Slightly inverted by this (bisexual, female) troper, who will turn to look very unsubtly at anyone who walks by who she finds attractive but continue to talk most of the time. Made funnier by the fact that no one knows I'm bi. Accidentally did this when one of my friends was adjusting her shirt too, even though I don't think of her that way at all... it's a reflex! Me and one of my friend have also completely cut off conversations to stare at very attractive older boy at our school.

Happened to this (straight male in college) troper a while back when he ran into his female friend who was coming from class. She's a huge nerd, as am I, and she wanted to show me her real-life Pokedex/calculator that she thought was really cool. I would have thought it was really cool, too, if it wasn't for the fact that she's incredibly hot, and her amazing boobs looked extremely squeese-a-licious in her skin-tight jogging top. I'm usually good at maintaining an eye-level conversation with my girl friends despite fanservice. But it was REALLY hard this time...

Female friend of This Troper plays a little game with him. Whenever they are arguing, she tries to end the argument with her either sitting on This Tropers lap, smiling seductively, or moving her leg up This Tropers...uhm...I'll be in my room.

This Gay male troper has straight (hot) male friends who understand this trope and abuse it... constantly.

High school, grade 12. Young Man Whose Locker is Next To Troper's: "You seem to forget your combination an awful lot." Troper: "Huh? I do? Um, yes. I do."

Played straight with this troper, who gets extremely distracted whenever someone shows some leg

This is the reason this troper had difficulties in grammar school. Just about every girl in his class was above average in looks...

This tropette has a tendency to not realize someone's talking to her when there's an attractive male present. He doesn't even have to actually ''be'' there. I've done it with ''anime'', for corn's sake.

This gay female troper has been known to run into anything or find anything in the area to trip over when she's checking out another girl. And it happens. Often. I have scars.

This troper was walking across campus, got distracted by a traffic-stoppingly attractive girl...and walked straight into a post that was the perfect height for a Heywood Banks set piece. Thereby proving the maxim that the more humiliating the fail, the more people will be around to see it, since there had to have been 50 people who saw...and laughed, applauded, and/or made wisecracks.

Once walked in front of a car because I was checking someone out. Said car slammed on the breaks, thankfully.

Doesn't happen very often to this Troper, But one time the Hands down hottest girl in our school started to talk to me after class. So shocked I looked down, which was right down her shirt. I was distracted enough to run straight in the door knocking me flat on my back. Then when she leaned over to check on my I just said"I was distracted by the sexy" in a distracted voice

This Male Troper's once lesbian friend was waiting for me to get my shake at the coffee shop. As she put it Latino Heat enters the mall and asks her directions for the Health Food store. First time I ever seen her so flustered in her life and the next week she has a boyfriend and eventually married the guy.

Once I lost a pool game..because the bar had the Victoria's Secret Runway show playing on the TV.

This troper cannot take the pivotal, most dramatic scene in ''{{Equilibrium}}'' seriously, because of Christian Bale's huge arms and sweaty/oiled abs. The main character feels emotion for the first time and it's supposed to be poignant and beautiful, but that certainly wasn't the emotion I was feeling.

This troper got into his first wreck this way

Happens to this Troper every day because of one girl he goes to school with. The fact that she has an amazing ass seems to be the reason. I'm also distracted by her Moe-ishness a lot too.

This troper had one last night. I was on my phone to my best friend and looking at pictures on my computer at the same time. I was in the middle of a sentence and I saw a certain picture and I said, after going quiet for a few minutes, "Sorry, what was I saying?" My friend had to ask me exactly what I was doing to get distracted. I did tell her though and when she came over, I showed her the picture I was distracted by. She also got distracted.

This troper's college roommate has a built-in "Shirtless Guy Radar." Every time she sees a guy not wearing a shirt, she has to go "shirtless guy"! Considering she went to an all-girls Catholic high school, this is both not unusual and really funny. Furthermore, some of the guys she points out have invoked this trope on this troper, to the point where she nearly ran into a curb due to her friend yelling "shirtless guy!" which caused her to look.

This troper- who usually wears very covering clothing, but is very much in possession of the MostCommonSuperPower - likes to invoke this occasionally by pulling her t- shirt collar down juuuust a bit and yelling "Look, boobies!" to whoever she wants distracted. Of course, this also annoys her greatly when she accidentally wears a low cut shirt and notices a few of her male friends' lack of eye contact.

This troper ''crashed his wheelchair'' into a wall ''and bent his toe back'' due to looking at a girl.

This troper has been known to run into walls/doors/people when too deep in thought about a certain classmate's legs in a chearleader uniform.

I had a math teacher that was, in my opinion, really hot, so naturally there were times where I just kind of... eh... oh, sorry, what was that about factorials? Yeah, I failed a test because of this.

This troper was driving to the supermarket on a very busy day - lots of traffic and people making the drive slow - then in front of him walking the same direction was a young lady wearing short, tight cutoff jeans. He suddenly was in no hurry and just idled along, enjoying the view...then looked over to see a cart wrangler, a young guy, looking at him laughing and laughing. The troper grinned and shrugged; the kid certainly understood...

this troper, at one of her first anime conventions, noticed a VERY good Yoko Kurama cosplayer in the distance. this troper never got near enough to get a good picture of him because of the combination of the fangirl crowd following him and the chaos from all the Distracted By The Sexy he caused, both to those in the fangirl crowd following him and random congoers. this troper just barely avoided a Distracted By The Sexy accident the first time she noticed him and almost gave herself a case of whiplash shooting her head around to get a better look as he sped past trying to distance himself from the fangirl horde behind him.

This Troper was playing through the Diva's stages in ''{{Elite Beat Agents}}'' for the first time, and came to the "Rock This Town" stage. During a gap in hit/beat markers, she ended up seeing some of the Diva's dancing for the first time... which consisting of them shaking their rears. Due to a combination of this trope and a "What the-?" reaction, she ended up failing the stage due to not seeing the hit/beat markers reappear and consequently missing them.

Living with my girlfriend proved to offer some disadvantages. It's kind of hard to talk or generally do stuff when she goes around half naked.

This (female) troper's Taekwondo teacher. Seriously, it's a bit hard to focus on your kicks when that guy is walking around. Red hair, sharp eyes, lots of tattoos, mildly sadistic (like most people that teach any kind of physical activity) and on top of that, he tends to take his shirt of after a particularly hard practice (which once caused my friend to almost fall down the stairs.)

Also, his fiancé (who is also a black belt and a teacher), in a bit of a Stupid Sexy Flanders moment. Also red haired, and yes. Gorgeous.

Also caused destraction for the entire class during the last belt test. My friend noticed that she had a love-bite on her neck. Fridge-something ensues when you realize the person responseble is sitting next to her...

This Troper suffers from this from a certain girl in his year. Though most of the year, she wears her hair in a tight bun. However, on the few occasions she lets it down, Barry White might as well be playing in my ear, as my self awareness becomes next to zero.

I find it hard to go wtf about the lyrics to this song.

This (D-Cup) Troper was jogging last Sunday, when one of her neighbors was driving by. Because he was was turned halfway out of his car, he crashed into his own (brick/steel) mailbox (one of those mailboxes that looks like a small tomb) and destroyed the front of his vehicle... I still feel incredibly guilty. >_<;;

Could actually double as a crowning moment of heartwarming for how this turned out, but this troper when on a 1st date with a stunning girl took her to a beach side pier and was so distracted by her that I didn't see the steps...or the trash can at the bottom. Still together after 4 years.

Surprisingly averted with this troper. Despite being bi, and ''constantly'' ogling people do to his '''''very''''' wide standards :He basically finds any male or female with a good face attractive, as long as they are between the ages of 16 and 70, and not anorexic thin or over 450 pounds or so, he's only had close calls with this trope. There have been numerous times where he's almost ran into a pole or tripped on the sidewalk or whatnot, but his good instincts have ultimately always saved him. At this rate, I bet it will never happen to me.

Wouldn't that belong in {{Not Distracted By The Sexy}}?

This troper has many epiriences with this:

Most embaracing was watching Iron Man 2. During the scene when Robert Downey Jr.(Tony Stark) meets up with Samuel L. Jackson(Colonel Nick Fury), Scarlett Johanson(Black Widow) shows up in her spandex suit. Needles to say, he shouted with a "Whoo" automatically without even thinking about it. The embaressment followed with a comfort from a woman saying "it's okay, i don't blame you!"

This Troper often meets 2-3 female friends for coffee, drinks or food and one of them he likes. He was so distracted by this sexy woman that he has missed class and almost missed a final exam just because he did not want to leave.

Troper is around women more often so it becomes a daily habbit. Thank God for peripheral vision

This troper frequently gets distracted by bodacious/curvaceous/voluptuous women while working out at the local gym.

This troper was in a bookstore reading a manga on the floor, when a really hot woman wearing very formfitting see-through white pants bent over in the bookshelf directly in front of me. It was really hard concentrating on FMA after that, but when I realized she wasn't wearing any panties and I could see her ass-crack I fell over.

This hapless troper, so, ''so'' much.

''Project DIVA 2nd''. Playing as Len. The PV for the song "World is Mine". '''DatAss.''' Here's ''{{Chibi Miku-san}}''[='=]s take on it.

[stares]...uh, what? I, uh--[slams into wall beside exit] *''Bonk!''*
