Covert Pervert (trope)

"To have such an immoral and lewd plan coming out from you, what a surprise."
Haruna to Nodoka, Negima! Magister Negi Magi

Uncharacteristically suggestive comments and thoughts from a character usually considered pure and innocent. Sometimes this is played straight and shows that a character is mature or smart enough to notice subtle themes their friends don't. Most of the time it's a trait given to a shy character to show they're not quite as mousy and meek as we think. Usually cued by fantasy segues becoming more and more lewd.

This will always be fiercely denied by the character, especially if they're cantankerous and dismissive. The more comedic princess-like types often get this too until it turns into a more overt Running Gag.

Note that the title refers to covertness in the figurative sense, not the literal. This trope is also Truth in Television — you know who you are. Don't say it; otherwise, you won't be one anymore. If the Covert Pervert is outed, they may be subject to a girl getting set to Pervert Revenge Mode or even an Unprovoked Pervert Payback.

Compare Naughty by Night and Seemingly Wholesome '50s Girl. Contrast Oblivious Pervert, for characters who seem perverted because of their actions but aren't. May overlap with Chivalrous Pervert if the character is portrayed as morally righteous, especially regarding sexual ethics.

  • Despite being The Stoic and known for her cold professionalism, it was implied in an issue of Deadpool that Black Widow has a secret bondage fetish.
    Deadpool: Sorry about tyin' ya up and gagging you but, I dunno... Is it just me, or did you kinda like it?
    Black Widow: A little, yes.
  • Doom Patrol: Dorothy Spinner usually comes off as innocent and naive for a teenager, but demonstrates a capability of using her power to bring her imaginary friends to life for lascivious purposes in the concluding arc of Rachel Pollack's run on the second ongoing, where she decides to create a boyfriend named Mr. Right-and-Cool for her imaginary friend Pretty Miss Dot. The fact that Mr. Right-and-Cool appears as an attractive, shirtless man in leather pants and Dorothy reacts to his appearance by exclaiming "Yessss" says a lot about Dorothy's carnal desires that wouldn't have been apparent otherwise.
  • The Punisher: Welcome Back, Frank: Benny, a nebbish and a strait-laced Gnucci goon, is on familiar terms with an adult bookshop clerk although he claims he only visits the place to use the phone.
  • Even though he's normally a rather respectful and mild-mannered fellow, a sleep-hazed Spider-Man once more or less admitted to dreaming of threesomes with MJ and Black Cat, with Mary Jane wearing Black Cat's costume to boot. While recovering from a near Career-Ending Injury and partially waking up to find MJ-in Cat's costume- and Felicia standing before his hospital bed, Peter believed he was still sleeping and had the following to say:
    Peter: Oh, okay. It's this dream again. Be gentle, please.
  • Ultimate X-Men (2001): Iceman once used his powers to drill a hole in the ceiling above the women's changing room. Storm was understandably pissed to find out.
  • Rogue of X-Men is tomboyish and on the surface seems professionally dismissive of sensual matters, but it’s painfully clear being unable to touch others has left her with strong desires which she doesn’t bother hiding when able to touch Gambit (without the fear of killing/putting him in a coma). At one point whilst possessing telepathy and recalling all the times she and Gambit could have sex together Rogue inadvertently broadcasts her naughty thoughts to everyone around them — deeply embarrassing her. In Mr. and Mrs. X series Gambit brings up her Casual Kink for bondage whilst fighting mooks and Rogue reminds him that’s a “private” thing between them.
  • Smut Peddler: 2014 Edition: In "Glasses & Jones", Giada is a mousy, glasses-wearing girl who just so-happens to have a blog portraying graphic lesbian BDSM scenes.
  • Smut Peddler Presents: Sordid Past: The Priestess in "The Fifth Hour" apparently has dirty fantasies that routinely crop up during her duties.

    Fan Works 
  • In Adventurers and Adversaries: Hellmouth Edition, Xander Willow and Buffy get sucked into a Dungeons and Dragons style game. At one point Buffy accidentally uses the last wish on an enchanted sword to gain the power to create underwear with a snap of her fingers. The catch? She has to know the measurements of whoever she creates them for, leading to Buffy groping Willow. Buffy's quite put out that Xander finds pants before she can grope him.
  • Alya and the Harem Reality: While Marinette is still the same sweet Nice Girl as in the old timeline, she's not above having perverted thoughts about her girlfriends. When she finds out that Chloe has a near identical half-sister, her first thought is a Twin Threesome Fantasy with her and Zoe. And when she learns of a designer contest focusing on swimsuits, Tikki has to snap her out of a fantasy where she dresses Alya and Chloe in her custom-design swimsuits.
  • An omake in the Bleach fanfic Chasing the Moon reveals that Yuzu sneaked a peek at Byakuya when they were Hanging Their Clothes To Dry. In her defense, it would be pretty tempting.
  • Child of the Storm:
    • Harry. While generally sweet and gentlemanly, and initially quite innocent, he's a teenage telepath with an active imagination. While not the most pronounced example, he has, ahem, thoughts about most of the women around him. This leads to a few reasonably serious scenes where he's trying to focus and ignore his libido. Also, when he's mulling over a vision of multiple universes and the implications of the fact that his subconscious selected them for him to view and learn a Very Important Lesson from, a large part of his mind is busy on one universe where an older version of him and Carol were about to have a Shower of Love and comparing Naked!AU!Carol to Prime!Carol (who he's seen in sleepwear). This is actually justified - the subconscious, after all, includes the libido.
    • Carol is suggested to have a fairly normal sex drive for a teenager. The 'pervert' part comes in when after she wakes up following a Sleep Cute initiated by an emotional moment involving UST, her immediate assumption is so explicit that when it travels down the mental link to Harry, he falls over in the shower.
  • Corrin Reacts contains a minor example; Flora is apparently a fan of romance novels. Corrin buys her some and uses a tome full of smut as a gift.
  • Dungeon Keeper Ami: From Departure:
    the [...] general asked, crossing his arms in front of his chest. Which remained shirtless for the moment, much to Ami's secret delight.
  • Smurfette in Empath: The Luckiest Smurf, inasmuch as she admits that she likes looking at her fellow male Smurfs in just their hats and pants.
  • Fate/Harem Antics:
  • The Flower Princess and the Alchemist. Surprisingly, Orihime of all people. She insists she wasn't staring at a half-naked Edward standing in the middle of the street.
    • Subverted in the fact that the context of the situation is quite ambiguous. Orihime's reaction could be more out of genuine shock and surprise than outright indecent and suggestive. How would feel would you feel when you suddenly find one of your friends stripped to their underwear as soon as your back is turned?
      • Double subverted as Orihime spends a good portion of the rest of the chapter reimagining a half-naked Ed, even blushing while doing so. And reacting quite panicky and flustered whenever Ed is near.
  • Let's just say when Italy was showing Germany and Japan the David statue in the Galleria dell'Accademia di Firenze in Gankona, Unnachgiebig, Unità, they weren't appreciating the art. They were imagining Italy as the youth.
  • Ginchiyo, of Graduate Meeting of Mutual Killing, was a nice woman who hadn't shown any kind of lewd thoughts of behavior towards anybody. However, when a body search on what is implied to be her love interest (which seems mutual), she instantly jumped into the chance to grope him all over. It reached a point where Akane Ogata, who was restraining the person being searched, reprimanded her to control her lust.
  • Guardians, Wizards, and Kung-Fu Fighters:
    • Will keeps sneaking looks at Matt's butt during their dates.
    • Jade is starting to show some signs of this:
      • When the heroes are hiding out in the Red House brothel to prepare for the attack on Torus Filney, Jade seems a bit too enthusiastic about the idea of dressing up like prostitutes, and when Irma's outfit is adjusted to enhance her bust, Jade stares and wonders if she'll suffer a wardrobe malfunction.
      • When held captive by Tharquin, she gets under his skin by pointing out that he's technically impure, being part Galhot, and admits that she finds Galhot women, who she refers to as "green-skinned babes", attractive, and can't blame his father for being interested in one.
      • At one point, she pulls a Female Gaze on Irma's butt as she's walking away.
      • When she gets a glimpse of a sleeping Irma's cleavage during a Bedmate Reveal moment (Irma cuddled up to share warmth), she can't look away for a minute, and only does so with significant mental effort, and while she doesn't exactly mind the situation, she wants to sleep more, so when the water Guardian proves a stubborn sleeper, Jade decides to wake her up by nipping at her cheek.
    • When they learn that the Oni in the mask Tarakudo put on Viper keeps complimenting her "rack and ass", as she puts it, both Jade and Irma think that he's not exactly wrong about them being nice.
    • Irma greatly enjoys the view of Jade's developing abs provided by her new, midriff-baring summer hoodie. Jade, in turn, appreciates the way Irma's own new outfit shows off her curves.
  • Kingdom Hearts Ψ: The Seeker of Darkness: In Adjustments, Kairi vents to Roxas about the lack of progress in her relationship with Sora, saying that she's starting to wonder if he may be asexual. Roxas, who had spent the last year in Sora's head, tells her this isn't likely, asking her if she's ever noticed him staring at her ass.
    Roxas: I have seen your ass. I have seen Riku’s ass. I have seen Selphie’s ass. I have seen Tidus’s ass. I have seen Wakka’s ass. I have seen Tidus’s dad's ass, not sure what that was all about. Sora has stared at the ass of just about everyone human he’s come across since I got put in his heart. Thankfully, not Axel’s, though I’m pretty sure that was out of consideration for me. You do not understand what I have witnessed. I can say for sure, your boyfriend likes asses. Whether it’s just aesthetic appreciation or sexual, I have no idea, but it is what it is.
  • Nagato and Hanyuu are this in Kyon: Big Damn Hero, spending part of the time when they were watching Kyon 'enjoying the view'.
  • Lincoln Loud: The Savviest Spider-Man: Stella Zhau, after feeling Lincoln Loud's Heroic Build, can't help but notice how stacked he is, before coming to her senses.
  • Maria Campbell of the Astral Clocktower:
    • Sophia is a quiet bookworm, but she's also trying to get her brother to marry the woman she's attracted to, with all the implications that involves. Of course, by the time of the fic she's been like this for years, so none of her friends are surprised any more.
    • Katarina largely has the demeanor of a child (Maria thinks she's literally brain-damaged), tends to ignore any implications of romance, and when she does notice it she tends to squeal at hand-holding for being "lewd." Her entire household staff is shocked when she mentions that she'll probably be getting a new sibling since her mother dragged her father away. She's also the first person to notice that Anne and Alice are sleeping together. Chapters from her own perspective indicate that in her previous life, in addition to receiving a normal sexual education at school, she also watched all the Fortune Lover sex CG scenes quite a lot. In this case, it's so covert that people still haven't figured it out, and several people mention they're glad that she doesn't know about Anne and Alice.
  • Tara in Marked is surprised to learn she's actually disappointed when Xander doesn't spank her for performing magic.
  • Downplayed in Married to the Koopa King. Everyone thinks Peach is absurdly innocent and pure, but she does have her hormonal side and likes to read NSFW romance novels.
  • In Meduka Meguca, the stoic, cynical Homura uses her time-freezing powers to take advantage of her Love Interest.
  • In Miracle Dragon Ise, Asia Argento becomes a lot more perverted after falling in love with Ise and being exposed to certain romance stories and anime Rias ends up giving her. She ends up getting a Nose Bleed after seeing Ise naked and learning she still has a penis, then another while thinking about Ise wearing her collar and treating her like a dog.
  • In My Huntsman Academia, Pyrrha has a Nosebleed when Izuku is Mistaken for Masturbating while training his use of One For All. Later on, Izuku admits to getting excited at the thought of seeing Yang hot and sweaty in a bikini.
  • Naru-Hina Chronicles: In the Mini-sodes, when Hinata is moving in with Naruto, Shino tells him "You're a brave man, Naruto." before adding "I wouldn't leave my girlfriend alone to clean my room in case she found my Porn Stash. Unless you threw them out?" When Naruto leaves in a hurry immediately after, Kiba expresses how shocked he is to learn that Shino owns porn.
  • In Off the Line while Vincent keeps a straight face and for the most part his affection for Cloud/Rainstorm is kept chaste, but he definitely is affected by always having to be near a Shameless Fanservice Guy. In his own thoughts, he expresses the desire to touch Rainstorm more intimately.
  • Naruto offers Hippolyta a shirt (as she's currently topless) in On the Back of the Turtle, only for her to inform him they don't wear shirts in her culture, Sasuke tells Naruto to be more sensitive of other peoples cultures. Furthermore he asks if Kakashi has any weak wind jutsu that could be used to blow open Raven's cloak.
  • Pokémon Reset Bloodlines:
    • Lana has a fetish for shirtless boys, and one of her classmates hints she's got a porn collection hidden somewhere.
    • Ash's female companions have their moments too. One scene has Misty in the Cinnabar hot springs where she seems to actually feel tempted to peek on Ash on the other side, while another has Anabel not being too bothered by the thought of Ash rubbing lotion on her front and not just her back.
  • Michael in The Prayer Warriors is a fundamentalist Christian who considers men and women so much as getting within a foot of each other out of wedlock to be sinful, but he admits to finding Ginny "pretty hot" while he is infiltrating Hogwarts in Battle With the Witches. He then puts those thoughts out of his head and gets outraged when Ebony puts her hand on him.
  • Queens of Mewni:
    • Skywynne acts the prim and proper queen in public, but one of her secret indulgences is erotic novels, and it's strongly implied her daughter Soupina was conceived when she and her husband ended up Making Love in All the Wrong Places (namely, the kitchen).
    • Skywynne's granddaughter Galaxia also secretly loved erotic novels, and apparently a collar bell was used in her wedding night sex with Condor. She put a stop to it, though, upon finding out her daughter Venus's perversion was not covert.
  • Sunny Breeze in Racer and the Geek behaves like this, although he adamantly denies having any sort of sexual feelings or attraction. It's definitely not the case.
  • The Second Try: Shinji is peacefully watching Asuka breastfeed their child. She sees him looking at her and asks if he's jealous and wants a taste (Character Development, a resolving of their Unresolved Sexual Tension and marriage and a child with Shinji has made her stop being a Tsundere). Shinji said it best:
    "You know, for someone who kept calling me a pervert... you have some very interesting thoughts."
  • The Secret Return of Alex Mack sees a group of high school boys discover a formula that makes them invisible. One of the first things they do with it is spy on the cheerleaders showering. (Grover later steps up and uses it more heroically.)
  • Setting The Bar is- for good reason- the only Steven Universe fic in which Pearl works as a pimp.
    Amethyst: Who knew the little prude had it in her?
  • In A Snowflake In Spring, Elsa's mutism and her Moe-ness around Anna make it easy for the latter - and the audience - to think of her as an innocent child. Elsa, however, is an eighteen-year-old girl who has read some rather "risqué" books and who rarely misses the opportunity to cast... appreciative glances at Anna. The contrast is made especially apparent when the story switches to Elsa's perspective.
  • Sora and the Princess of Power:
    • Glimmer blushes at the thought of Sora being a shirtless merman, and successfully insists on convincing Donald to transform him in a later chapter. She also tries to convince him to transform Bow into a merman too, with no success.
    • It's implied that Adora also likes Sora as a shirtless merman.
  • Spider-Man: Dark Urges (located on AFF)- an AU of Ultimate Spider-Man (2000) where the symbiote increased Peter's sex drive- sees the symbiote's influence bring out the darker sexual desires of the girls Peter is with, such as Gwen asking him to subject her to a rape fantasy or Peter using the suit to let Kitty Pryde experience her fantasy of Naughty Tentacles.
  • In Tame, while discussing some of the symptoms of recovering from being infected by the Night Howlers, Mrs. Otterton mentions that it "spices things up in the bedroom".
  • In Thanks Kyubey, Madoka has some interesting thoughts on the side effects of Magical Girl status.
    Madoka: But if you become a magical girl, you can handle rough play and you won't ever get old, right? Isn't that the ideal wife?
  • There's No One Like You: While Amity projects an aura of cold detachment, she is very attracted to Luz, and relishes thoughts of having sex with her when alone.
  • This Bites!:
    • Nami and Vivi certainly don't mind Zoro training shirtless.
    • Vivi and her "magazines" about hentai.
  • Total Loud Island: Dawn of all characters. After Lincoln accidentally gropes her, she is totally okay with it and even wants to go somewhere private when Lincoln pinches her butt so they can keep doing it. In addition, when Lincoln takes a Groin Attack during a challenge, Dawn screams at Chef that she's going to need that someday.
  • Much Touhou Project fanon involves Patchouli owning a truly gargantuan collection of erotica in her library. In Touhou: a Glimmer of an Outside World, Koakuma likes to read it, too.
    • Another prevalent idea in fanon is that Koakuma is a succubus. Bound in servitude to Patchouli and made to act as a librarian. The jury's out on which is the bigger pervert.
  • In The Uzumaki Tales: Return Of The Whirlpool, Jiraiya calls the Hyuga clan "the biggest closet perverts in all of Konoha," mainly because of the Byakugan. As he points out, their compound is one kilometer away from the hot springs in Konoha, far enough not to put up any flags, but close enough in order to take advantage of their... gift. It's also shown that Jiraiya is the one who turned the young and still innocent Hiashi into this after teaching him the... advantages of the Byakugan.
  • Voyages of the Wild Sea Horse: After a game of truth-or-dare goes hilariously wrong, leaving Ranma being confronted about his Celibate Hero act by the three girls who all want to bang him, he decides to seek Refuge in Audacity and spells out in detail exactly why he finds them all sexy. And also Nabiki Tendo, just so she gets dragged in as well.
  • In What's in a Hoard?, the Proper Lady Momo admits she really wants to spank Mina after seeing her in a cheongsam.
  • Xendra:
    • Willow is shown to be surprisingly kinky in the bedroom, particularly once the titular character (Xander changed into a teenage Xena) makes her realize she's bisexual. When checking photographs to see if Xander is the Key (as some pictures have him flickering in and out), Xander's shocked to realize Willow has a picture of them having sex in her wallet.
    • A later chapter has Faith admit to herself that the impromptu threesome she got into with Xander and Willow (with a metric ton of marshmallow filling involved) was by far the kinkiest thing she'd ever gotten up to, despite having been a child prostitute before becoming a Slayer.
  • In Zero no Tsukaima: Saito the Onmyoji, Saito's just as perverted as he is in canon, but he's a lot better at hiding it. This is thanks to learning a lot of self-discipline at the Imperial Academy of Onmyoji.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fanfiction:

  • More than one fanfic has Fluttershy as the author of saucy novels (as being an animal caretaker doesn't pay the bills). One particularly blatant example is Do You Really Want to Know?, in which Twilight Sparkle and Princess Celestia discover a series of miscommunications is due to a draft of one of Fluttershy's stories getting attached to one of Twilight's friendship reports. Celestia immediately wonders why Fluttershy was writing a slashfic involving her and all her friends. With illustrations. Twilight asks if they really want to know, and Celestia replies that no, they really don't. Princess Luna does.
  • Twilight Sparkle is a frequent recipient of this trope in fanfiction too. Romance Reports for example has Twilight take to researching love and sex with gusto, having very little hesitation to the idea of having sex with the first willing ponies she can find For Science! (which isn't even what she was told, just an idea she made up herself), and at one point casually invents the pony version of the Kinsey scale.
  • In Sucker for a Cute Face Rarity and Sonata Dusk have a pretty wild sex life behind closed doors.
  • In The Trials and Tribulations of Trying to Date Twilight Sparkle, Princess Celestia is revealed to have written a book called Princest is Wincest, later bought a book written by someone else with the same theme, and has a photo album roughly half-filled with pictures of Twilight's rump.

Neon Genesis Evangelion fanfiction:

  • Advice and Trust: After hooking up with Shinji and especially after Their First Time Asuka becomes sex-crazed and gets frustrated if she has not sex with Shinji every day... but in public she still pretends she is not interested in sex so that nobody suspects they are together. When someone figures out they are together and finds out what kind of thoughts she has they are shocked because they did not think she could be so lewd.
  • Ghosts of Evangelion: As long as Shinji isn't being too obvious about it, Asuka likes when he looks to her (she feels like a piece of meat on display if someone leers at her openly, though).

RWBY fanfiction:

  • Fates Collide:
    • While shopping for new clothes, Ruby Rose suddenly flashes back to seeing Astolfo naked and blushes.
    • It looks like Pyrrha Nikos was about to suggest looking under Enkidu's robe to determine their gender before stopping herself and blushing.
  • Weiss in Hands-on Education - Extra Credit is more openly opposed to Jaune and Nora's status as amateur porn stars than anyone else at Beacon, calling their actions obscene and uncivilized. However, her inner thoughts reveal that she masturbates to their videos so much that she's not sure she can handle them uploading another one.
  • The NSFW fanfic Love Hurts has Weiss. She believes that it is her duty to maintain proper decorum at all times, but is actually at least as sexually adventurous as Blake and Yang, who keep almost injuring themselves in their various experiments. This causes problems for Weiss's Friends with Benefits Jaune, as he finds it hard to predict what suggestions she'll find sexy, what suggestions she'll find disgusting, and what suggestions she'll find disgusting but still want to try anyway.
    Yang: Damn, girl. Your mind is just in the gutter all the time. You too, Rubes. [sighs] I tell you, Blake, they were once so innocent and naïve. They get a boyfriend and get to have sex for the first time, and now they're worse perverts than you. They're all corrupted.
    Blake: Excuse me, Miss "I'm Going to Have Sex With Your Ice Clone"? Who is a pervert?
  • My Abominable Monster Classmates Can't Be This Cute!: During Jaune and the Grimmified Ruby, Weiss and Yang's infiltration mission at Beacon, Velvet is responsible for introducing Weiss to internet porn after she overheard Weiss publicly inquiring about it, and she isn't exactly disinterested when Weiss suggests Velvet can form a "pack" of her own.
  • White Sheep (RWBY):
    • A lot of women end up Eating the Eye Candy when it comes to Jaune Arc. Besides the likes of Pyrrha and Weiss casually enjoying seeing him shirtless while he's changing, Jaune's adoptive sister Cinder towels him dry after Cardin dumps a bucket of water on him and has to be alerted to the fact she's been rubbing him for several minutes after getting all the water. In the same incident, Emerald was doing something with his wet shirt and Neo was openly staring.
    • Ruby is so covert that even she doesn't realize it at first. She gets weird feelings whenever she's grabbed by a tentacle monster (he wasn't trying to hurt her, but he wasn't trying to do that either), and when she accidentally discovers what tentacle hentai is, she enlists Blake in helping her get more.

Naruto fanfiction:

  • Hinata gets this a lot in fanfiction. The fact that she has the power to see through any object, including people's clothes, certainly helps.
  • Naruto becomes this in Escape From The Hokage's Hat. Due in part to having had a seal placed on him (multiple actually but just explaining this one is important for now) that screwed with his libido and hormones but was removed forcing the 13-year-old to just deal with the overload. Naruto then travels in a group with Hinata, Shizune, and Tsunade. Cue Naruto suddenly thinking about how bad he wants a backrub from Shizune, wants a hug (Marshmallow Hell) from Tsunade, comments on how he wants to "hold Hinata and never let her go" and suddenly be turned on by Hinata's laugh.
  • A Growing Affection: During the Chunin Exams, Hinata was sitting next to Naruto. It turns out she tried looking at his test to check on him, but also because he kept fidgeting and she caught a glimpse of...something else.
  • Kitsune no Ken: Fist of the Fox:
    • Itachi, of all people. On one occasion when Ino gropes Hinata's breasts from behind while demanding to know Hinata's secret, Itachi's response is to start taking pictures with his cell phone. And prior to that, Yugito accuses him of perversion when he wonders aloud and with a little too much interest what Hinata's reaction was to accidentally seeing Yugito naked in a Waterfall Shower, moments after Yugito informs him of the incident.
      Yugito: No, Itachi, she did not take off her clothes and offer to join me. Pervert.
    • There's also Neji, Konoha High School's Student Council President who's a stickler for the rules and for upholding his upper-class status...and who also secretly collects Icha-Icha Paradise books and has secret Girls Behind Bars fantasies. One of the Hyuga family maids even recounts at one point how she once overheard him masturbating while whispering Tenten's name.
    • Hinata herself, big time. During the aforementioned Outdoor Bath Peeping moment, after the initial surprise, she spends several minutes Eating the Eye Candy (something that Yugito, the eye-candy in question, finds quite amusing). Prior to that, there's a scene that indicates that she seems to know the Icha Icha book series is pornographic. The story's twenty-third Gaiden chapter, set a few years later during her twenty-third birthday, shows her out at dinner with Naruto, and while they're waiting for their order, she engages in Footsie Under the Table as a way of teasing him. The same Gaiden reveals her to be into bondage play, specifically as a submissive.
  • A new world: Story of a lost Shinobi: Naruto natch. Surprisingly Mirajane whenever Naruto is around. Naruto is rather happy about this since the only other girls he's dealt with are a Shrinking Violet (Hinata) and an often-angry Tsundere (Sakura).
    • There's:
      Naruto: So you can get it (Fairy Tail mark) anywhere?
      Mirajane: Yeah. I'd show you mine but that would be a lot of dress to hike up.
      Naruto: [Spit Take]
      Mirajane: I heard some even get it on their butts.
      Naruto: [pictures Fairy Tail mark on Mirajane's butt]
      Mirajane: [playful Dope Slap followed by a smile] You better not be thinking what I think you're thinking or I won't feed you."
    • And then there's:
      Mirajane: You know I'm occasionally the cover girl for Sorcerer Weekly. They have a lot of pictures of me.
      Naruto: [Fascinating Eyebrow] Really? Where can I find these magazines?
      Mirajane: [stretches flirtatiously] Why would you want the magazines when the cover girl is right in front of you?
      Naruto: You got a point. But with the pictures I could stare at them as long as I want without being called a pervert.
      Mirajane: I never said I'd call you that.
  • In Sekirei? Is that some new species of little sister?, Akitsu is shown to be a huge pervert but doesn't show it much due to being both The Stoic and The Quiet One. When she tells Takami that Naruto and his wife chain her up and spank her, Naruto replies that Akitsu failed to mention she likes both even more than he does.

    Films — Live-Action

  • In the S Club 7 movie Seeing Double the band kidnap their dim-witted clones and tie them up.

Later on we find out that the clones are taught to shower together to save water, so the fun starts when Bradley is showering in the garden and the Rachel and Hannah clones climb in with him. He heads for the hills when the Jon clone climbs in too but Tina sneaks a peek at them.

  • Outback Wawa has Apocalypt1c Assass1n in the first episode of Glutton For Punishment, who for the vast majority of the episode doesn't say anything remotely dirty, then in the last few minutes, he says you can eat out a woman if you're hungry/thirsty.

Hopie, a sweet, naive girl, asks the main character what the nickname means, and he tells her it's because the boy wants to be a disc jockey and use a microphone. She responds "Oh, I thought it was something about his penis."
  • The hyperactive, flustery Cloudcuckoolander Oshiroi from Ben-To. When Satou asks her if she wants to join the Dogs, she thinks he wants to know if she wants to get gangbanged. She doesn't reject the idea outright, just says she'd prefer her first time to be one-on-one.
  • In A Brother's Price Cullen Moorland is somewhere between this and a true innocent. He's very interested in the pornographic pictures his cousin Lylia gives him, but when he's sharing them with Jerin, he comments at one point:
    "Why would anyone want to put his mouth there?"
    • Jerin himself has been told about the "paths of pleasure" by his grandfather and could explain a thing or two to Cullen, but as everyone expects him to remain chaste until marriage, he can't tell that he in fact recognizes the depicted scene as something he did and enjoyed. It's a setting that enforces this trope in men.
  • In Campione!, Liliana is depicted as a stoic, no-nonsense warrior, a firm contrast to her rival, the boisterous, shameless Erica. It is revealed that Liliana writes erotic novels in her spare time, and gets wild sexual fantasies about Godou. She's really embarrassed about anybody finding out about this.
  • Discworld:
    • In The Last Continent, things get awkward when the God of Evolution wants an explanation of sexual reproduction from the wizards. The celibate old men are struggling to figure out how to do so when, much to their bafflement, Unseen University's prim and proper head housekeeper Mrs. Whitlow (who accidentally got pulled along on their little adventure) pulls the God aside to give him The Talk... with hand gestures. This leaves Ridcully briefly wondering what happened to the late Mr. Whitlow.
    • In Carpe Jugulum, Dirty Old Woman Nanny Ogg is rendered speechless when the formerly naïve Magrat Garlick caps her with a perfect double entendre.
      "Oh, I don't know, I really don't," said Nanny. "I mean, it's flattering and everything, but I really don't think I could be goin' out with a man with a limp."
      "Limp what?"
    • In the same book, Nanny Ogg mentions a relative of Agnes's who clearly enjoys sex, as evidenced by her sizable brood of children, but who gets very flustered when anything even remotely sexual gets mentioned. Nanny Ogg specifically mentions being able to "cook eggs on her face if you're quick enough" after telling her a dirty joke.
  • Louise of The Familiar of Zero. She beats up Saito at the first sign of his pervertedness, yet whenever we are shown her fantasies, it's rather saucy. At one point, she attacks a large crowd for waking her up from a dream of her and Saito that was "just getting to the good part".
  • In Good Luck! Ninomiya-kun the innocent-looking Mayu is actually a Yaoi Fangirl, who writes her own yaoi manga, and Reika can actually be incredibly perverted, which she hides behind a Tsundere facade and hits Shungo if she feels he's acting perverted.
  • Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation: Mo Dao Zu Shi: Lan Wangji of all people. Stoic and reserved he may be, but he's actually the more proactive of the pair when it comes to physical intimacy:
    • He holds Wei Wuxian to his promise of them sleeping together everyday.
    • Wei Wuxian is the one who has read more heterosexual porn, but Lan Wangji is the one who's looked up how to have sex with men.
    • In the "Incense Burner" extra, he and Wei Wuxian are able to see the other's dreams. While Wei Wuxian's dream consists of them having a domestic life after retiring from cultivation, Lan Wangji's dream is much kinkier in nature.
  • Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire:
    • Moaning Myrtle "sometimes" sneaks into the prefects' bathroom to watch them bathe. Harry finds this out while taking a bath himself to figure out a tournament clue that's only comprehensible underwater.
    • In a throwaway line, Mad-Eye Moody seems to be using his magical eye (which, among other things, can be used to see through clothing) to spy on some young girls. This is an early hint that "Moody" isn't at all the good person he's pretending to be.
  • Kyon of the Haruhi Suzumiya series has a...fondness for the main girls. Mostly Mikuru, but Haruhi and Yuki do catch his attention in his Inner Monologue narration as well.
    • Shockingly enough, Yuki in Haruhi-chan has a fondness for erotic visual novels. The covert part only applies because Kyon caught her in the act and gave her the bunny headphones so the other members wouldn't hear what she was playing.
  • Hensuki: Are You Willing to Fall in Love with a Pervert, as Long as She's a Cutie?: The series has a Running Gag of seemingly normal and cute girls turning out to have secret fetishes. Once they reveal their kinks to the protagonist, Keiki Kiryū, they stop hiding it altogether.
    • Sayuki Tokihara, the hardworking president of the Calligraphy Club, is a masochist who secretly wants to be Keiki's pet.
    • Yuika Koga, a seemingly innocent underclasswoman, is actually a sadist who wants to make Keiki her S&M slave.
    • Mao Nanjō is a friend of Keiki and Shōma who acts harsh but cares deeply about them like a tsundere, which makes it all the more surprising when she reveals that she's a Yaoi Fangirl who secretly uses them as material for her boys love manga.
    • Ayano Fujimoto is seen as the diligent student council vice president of the school but is secretly an olfactophile who wants to sniff Keiki's body odor.
    • Mizuha Kiryū is a double subversion. At first, the story leads the viewer to believe that she has incestuous feelings for her brother, Keiki, but then it turns out that they're not blood-related, meaning their relationship wouldn't really be incest. Then she turns out to be an exhibitionist who likes to secretly go out in public with no panties and takes strip tease selfies of herself.
    • Airi Nagase is a strict disciplinarian member of the student council but enjoys yuri to the point of secretly writing a yuri fic of the Calligraphy Club members.
    • Rin Mitani, the cute student council secretary, turns out to be a boy who enjoys cross-dressing.
    • Shiho Takasaki is the student council president, who is secretly turned on the concept of netorare, whether she's on the giving or receiving end of cheating relationships.
  • Kasshoku Musume no Latina-san ni Ore no Karada ga Nerawareteiru: Fumiko Katagiri is a Class Representative who normally chides her classmates for perverted behaviour, yet she watches too much porn and sometimes comes up with oddly specific fantasies.
  • Kashiwagi Yuuya from "Kikanshita Yuusha no Gojitsudan took Ayane Mizusaki", the manager of the family restaurant he worked at, to be a cool career woman, only for her to turn out to be this. When he asked for a bigger work uniform upon seeing his Heroic Build she touched his body under the pretext of adjusting his size even though I didn’t have to. Later, when he confronted some unruly customers, she was disappointed to find out that they were the ones to piss themselves since it meant he didn’t have to take his pants off. Before going into a fantasy about him dominating her.
  • Naughty: Nine Tales of Christmas Crime: Santa's Elves may be cheerful embodiments of Christmas joy, but that doesn't mean they can't have wild Christmas parties with drinking and sex, although they are embarrassed to outright admit this in Mrs. Claus's presence and come up with a lot of awkward euphemisms.
    Carol: Yeah, Gumdrop was there for a while. But he and my sister Noël had a little too much eggnog and went off to...ummmm...make some mulled cider.
    Mrs. Claus: Noël?
    Noël: Over here, Mrs. C. When we got to the bedro...I mean the kitchen, Gumdrop realized he didn't have a...well..a..bag of mulling spices. There was one in his wallet, but he'd left in in his jacket at work, I might have had a bit too much 'eggnog', but I'm not stupid-I told him no spice, no cider.
  • The central plot of Shimoneta is that sexual concepts have been completely censored by government, so now an entire generation of horny teenagers is struggling to understand exactly what they have actively been prevented from learning, ranging from personal anatomy to consent.
  • VTuber Legend: While Mashiro plays the Straight Man to Shuwa-chan's perverted antics, that doesn't mean she's not a pervert. For example, in one illustration on the second novel where she's on her drawing stream, she states she "makes sure" she describes her character design for Awayuki in detail, including the latter's nipple color. The chat calls her out on that. Chats in the main novel also mentions she only acts that way when she draws.

    Live-Action TV 
  • This is the most obvious character trait of Tobias from Arrested Development, who never seems to consciously think or care about sex at all.
  • The Brokenwood Mysteries: Rev. Greene is a kindly Good Shepherd, yet the mystery novel he writes is impressively steamy in nature.
  • Buffy the Vampire Slayer
    • Occasional hints are given that Willow is one, like her "everyone's getting spanked but me" comment, and the accidental ogling of Dawn (the Dawn part was the accident, not the ogling) that one time.
      "Oh, right. Me and Oz play 'Mistress of Pain' every night."
      "Did anyone else go to a scary visual place?"
    • Her girlfriend Tara seems to be the same.
    • Buffy's no slouch either. She's the aggressor in each of her relationships, she's into femdom if Spike is anything to go by, in the series finale she said he and Angel might do oil wrestling and the comics...the comics has her missing the sex before her deepest fantasy is revealed. That fantasy is her playing mistress chained to a naked Angel and Spike, wearing a Naughty Nurse Outfit. It's been a slow year. Also, when hit with a love spell she tries stripping for Xander.
  • Kate Beckett from Castle is implied to have some of this in her past. In one episode, Castle was left wondering how she knew so much about hand-made bondage cuffs. Then there's this thing she does with ice cubes...
  • Community: Annie Edison is seen as the youngest and most wholesome member of the study group, but there are many instances of her displaying a not-so-innocent side to her.
    • In "Physical Education," when Jeff strips naked to play pool, Annie sneeks a peek from behind her fingers.
    • In "Advanced Dungeons and Dragons," Annie ends up playing the character "Hector the Well-Endowed" during a Dungeons & Dragons game, due to grabbing a character sheet at random.note  She then ends up seducing an elf maiden (played by Abed), and she describes the sex in great detail. Music plays over the narration so that we don't get to hear what she says, but if you read her lips you can see that it is filthy. Throughout the scene, Shirley is horrified, Jeff and Britta are amazed that prim and proper Annie is coming up with this, and Troy is furiously taking notes.
      Abed (as elf maiden): ["climaxes", hands tied above his head] Ahh! [breaking character] Okay. You both fall back exhausted, but still entwined.
      Annie: [grins] Okay, great! I stroke her hair lovingly and spoon her for the appropriate amount of time before leaving.
      Troy: [looks up from his notes that, by now, fill the whole sheet] How long is that?
    • In "Origins of Vampire Mythology," Jeff has gone back to his locker with Annie to change his shirt. Annie doesn't do a good job at hiding that she just wants to see Jeff shirtless.
      Jeff: I love that I have a locker now. All that wasted time going to my car for mid-afternoon wardrobe adjustments? [Jeff pulls a dress shirt out of his locker] What do you think? Hmmm? Stick with what's working?
      Annie: You're gonna change your shirt?
      Jeff: Not if it's working.
      Annie: [aroused] It's not working.
      Jeff: You're right. I knew it.
      [Jeff takes off his shirt and pulls out the dress shirt. As he does so, Annie stares lustily at his chest.]
      Passing woman: I'll have what she's having.
      Annie: Hey, grow up, lady!
      [Britta comes running around the corner]
      Britta: Annie!
      Annie: His shirt wasn't working!
  • Doctor Who:
    • In "Smith and Jones", the Plasmavore uses a pair of Slabs (drones made of solid leather that look like motorbike couriers with full-face helmets) as muscle. The Tenth Doctor takes this as a sign that "someone's got one hell of a fetish."
    • The episode "Amy's Choice" hints the 11th Doctor might be the darker side of this trope.
      • In "The Angels Take Manhattan", the Doctor is reading a trashy detective novel. He doesn't seem to be entirely aware that he's reading it out loud and saying "yowza!" to the descriptions of the Femme Fatale detective's impressive cleavage. Later in the episode, it's mentioned that he has "the face of a twelve-year-old". Becomes funnier after the reveal that the Femme Fatale is actually River. Who is his wife!
    • On a much lighter note, Rory, if the 2011 Red Nose Day short is anything to go by. He responded quite well to the sight of his wife flirting with herself from the future. Furthermore, the reason everything went wrong in that episode was because Rory was helping the Doctor fix the TARDIS and got distracted by Amy wearing a skirt on the glass floor above him. Rory did apologize, for what it's worth, albeit for dropping whatever he was holding, not for peeking.
    • In Series 8, Strax does an examination of the brain of Clara Oswald and finds a lot of muscular young men (or considering his Running Gag of getting genders confused, could easily be women) doing "sport".
  • Though Firefly has plenty of characters with overt sexuality, the last place one would expect to see such sexual commentary from is the somewhat unhinged yet innocent River; nonetheless she gets in the occasional comment that makes it very clear she's paying attention. In the comic Those Left Behind, Wash and Zoe make love on the bridge, and then suddenly have to call everyone else up to the bridge when they find something important. No one says anything as the two are straightening out their clothes... until River blurts, "It stinks like sex in here." In Serenity at the very end, when Kaylee and Simon are, well, taking the "unresolved" out of their Unresolved Sexual Tension, River is seen spying on them from above with a curious look on her face. For bonus points, Simon's her brother. River doesn't hesitate to bait Jayne into chatting about his "man-parts" - and it doesn't seem to bother her when he does, either. And then there's her "cockney come-on" to Badger.
  • Geoffrey in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, despite being a stereotypical stuffy English butler, has his moments. For instance, he describes a dream about being tied up by amazon women and tormented with fruit, and in another episode, Uncle Phil wakes up the family when he thinks Vivian is in labour, and when Will complains about being woken up by a naked man running around the house, Geoffrey says, "I'm sorry, I thought you'd all gone to sleep".
  • Phoebe from Friends was initially like this before they used it so much that it became less covert and more just part of her character that she was the kinky, frequently sharp-tongued and kind of mean, one.
  • Rachel and Emma from Glee. "Push it" was Rachel's idea and Emma informs Rachel that someday not having a gag reflex will be a gift. If you know what she means.
  • Dr. Shaun Murphy, the protagonist of The Good Doctor. Shaun is a young autistic doctor with a personality who tends to act too innocent or socially awkward most of the time. Despite this, on one occasion he admits to think that some porn pieces have good stories (to the surprise of some of his colleagues); he read erotic magazines with his brother when he was a child; and when dating Carly and Lea in the middle of the series, he ends up revealing having a surprising and insatiable appetite for sex.
  • Dr Chi Park on House. Comes across as mousey and repressed, 95 percent of the time. The other five percent she's accusing Dr Adams of wanting to masturbate over her, or casually claiming to have had sex with over thirty guys (which she then admits is a lie; whether the true figure is higher or lower remains unknown).
  • Lily in How I Met Your Mother is, if anything, even more perverted than Barney. When he describes something that he claims happened she knows exactly what porno the scene he made up is from. Even more impressive considering she and husband Marshall are each others' one-and-onlies. At one point, Lily complains of being unable to play "I Never" because "then everyone would know all the weird stuff I let you do to me," and Marshall at one point calls bull on another of Barney's stories because "I've seen that porno. Hell, I've lived that porno." He also refers to Lily as "like twenty slutty chicks all rolled up into one!"
  • Major Margaret "Hotlips" Houlihan is a variant of this Played for Laughs in the early seasons of M*A*S*H; she feigns being a prim, proper woman, but is actually a lustful, passionate woman who has frequent moments of Casual Kink with her steady lover, the already-married Dr. Jerk Major Frank Burns, and is implied to have slept with almost every Major or higher-ranked guest Official who shows up.
  • Mr. Queen:
    • Choi strives to be a model of propriety for the other ladies of the court but she secretly reads cheap erotic novels and has a kaleidoscope with drawings of men.
    • King Cheoljong does not do a good job of hiding his stashes of pornography. He's been doing it on purpose to keep up his image as a buffoon. The pornography are filled with coded messages sent from his private army.
  • Mindy from Mork & Mindy. In the pilot, she asks Mork to test his voice by reading from a book she has. Turns out it's a steamy romance novel. And later in the series when it's revealed that Orkan ears unscrew, she says "Gee, I'm afraid of what else comes off!".
  • Murdoch Mysteries: When Ilona Berger becomes the new Morality Officer, she's shown to be an absolute stickler for propriety, ticketing Effie Crabtree for reading a gossip magazine in public in "A Murder Most Convenient" and Detective Watts' artist friend Olivia for drawing a "lewd picture" in "Heir of the Dog". Over the course of the second episode she unbends slightly as she and Watts bond over the dog Charlie. At the end, she tells Olivia she will cancel the tickets in return for the picture she drew of Charlie. And then she quietly asks if she could also have another look at the other picture, and ends up keeping it as well.
    Berger: Is this a nude drawing of Detective Watts?
    Olivia: That it is.
    Berger: And is it an ... accurate depiction?
    Olivia : I wouldn't know. I took artistic liberty, of course.
  • The Nanny:
    • Maxwell is generally considered very uptight, especially in contrast to Fran, but sometimes demonstrates a hidden kinky streak. For instance, when he learns Fran has a secret tattoo he is visibly aroused and spends days fantasising about where on her body it could be. At the end of one episode, after they get married, he and Fran head off to bed to roleplay a threesome between Max, "the wife" and "the nanny" with the aid of a blonde wig.
    • Niles is, if anything, even more apparently repressed than Max, but he's shown to be extremely passionate and "creative" if the moment calls for it. After he and C.C. begin their affair, he's shown gathering up various foodstuffs to slather on her, and the two of them have sex in many public locations, including Home Depot and Maxwell's limo.
    • Although Fran has a more overt sexuality than Maxwell and Niles, she is also implied to have some hidden submissive tendencies. When Fran throws an unlicensed singles party in the mansion, costing Maxwell a hefty fine, she suggests he spank her as punishment; when the two of them are stranded on a desert island she's visibly excited by him yelling at her and ordering her around; and after they get married she's shown to occasionally scream "Oh, Mr. Sheffield!" at the point of orgasm.
  • There's a rather startling scene in Pushing Daisies where Chuck, in an attempt to prove that she's not as sheltered as she seems, talks about her aunt's collection of erotica.
  • Jared in Silicon Valley constantly comes off as both socially awkward and painfully social proper, especially compared to all the other guys, and shows no interest in women for the first couple of seasons. Then he reveals he just took a break from dating to focus on the company and proceeds to sleep with at least two women in as many days, and it's implied he has many more in his rotation. He also doesn't hesitate to explain the function of amyl nitrate. And he doesn't seem to understand why everyone is so surprised.
  • David from Six Feet Under maintains the image of a stoic and respectful funeral director but he has a tendency to ogle other men, even dead ones.
  • Smallville
    • Used in the introductory episode for red kryptonite when Clark uses his X-ray vision to check out Chloe's ass when her back is turned, something he's apparently too nice to do normally.
    • Jimmy Olsen apparently likes BDSM. It seems that incorruptible Chloe Sullivan is perfectly fine with that. Combining that to her losing her virginity when she was underage in a very short romance and having a casually sexual relationship with Oliver two episodes after the first hint of attraction, maybe the fans' favourite sweet girl isn't that innocent after all...
      Lois: (finds a pair of fluffy pink handcuffs) Guess the Olsen's not so wholesome.
  • Samantha Carter from Stargate SG-1 has been hinted to be one. In the episode 'Rules of Engagement', SG-1 finds a large group of young men training to infiltrate the SGC. As they walk past a group that are sparring with each other, she's the first one to notice that they don't have symbiote pouches. The group consists of young, agile shirtless men... She also took quite some time to look away from them.
  • Star Trek: Voyager: It may be just scientific curiosity, but when Q is about to get it on with a female member of his species in "The Q and the Grey", Captain Janeway suggests giving them some privacy:
    Q: What's wrong, Kathy? Don't you like to watch?
    [Janeway looks indignant, then when Q turns to Ms. Q, sneaks close with an eager expression. The two Q's touch fingers and shiver in delight]
    Janeway: That was it?!!
    Q: You had your chance. Don't go crying about it now.
  • Toast of London:
    • Ed is a very dignified, professional, and posh fellow but he has a number of weird fetishes that he enjoys in a sly and discreet manner, like old ladies posing in the nude or a woman who looks and sounds like Bruce Forsyth.
    • Jane is highly dignified and no-nonsense on the job, but on her off-hours is nearly always accompanied by several fit male strippers.
  • Alan from Two and a Half Men has a secret pregnancy fetish, as the nine months his ex-wife was pregnant with Jake was the only time she displayed sexual passion for him.

    Mythology & Religion 
  • Norse Mythology: Heimdall, of all people, came up with the idea of dressing up Thor in drag so that he could impersonate Freyja in the tale (Thrymskvida) to take back Thor's Mjölnir from Þrymr (Thrymr), The King of the Frost Giants.

    Visual Novels 
  • Danganronpa:
    • Touko Fukawa, at least to "Master Byakuya." She often mentions him belittling her with a rather...peculiar facial expression... As the story goes on, however, she gets less and less... covert.
    • The three male protagonists get this in all three games through some bonus scenes. Makoto has the option to peek at the girls in the bathhouse (albeit with the other guys), Hajime can watch Mahiru and Hiyoko shower together, and Shuichi can watch the girls change. Despite their Nice Guy personalities, they certainly express an enjoyment at the scenes in front of them. Makoto could be argued to be a downplayed since he's peer pressured into it, but Shuichi and especially Hajime both note how strangely out of character their behavior is at the end of their respective scene.
  • In Diabolik Lovers, the heroine thinks she may have dodged a bullet by choosing Shu as the vampire she'll allow to feed from her, because he is so aloof and unmotivated that he might never even bother. However, it turns out that there is one thing that Shu always has time for, and that is being a tease. The more sexually charged the teasing, the more he's into it, and blood-drinking is sexualized. His behavior is more vexing than it is cruel; he never lets an opportunity to tease her pass him by, and he has a knack for creating situations where she overextends herself on his behalf so he can tease her about lusting after him.
  • This trope gets played for horror in Doki Doki Literature Club!'s second act. Yuri is introduced as a sweet Shrinking Violet who opens up when talking about subjects she's passionate about like literary critique and world-building heavy horror novels. However, this trope comes into play when Monika starts to put her through Mind Rape and Gas Lighting. As Yuri undergoes Sanity Slippage, she devolves into a Stalker with a Crush with hints of Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant. Much of her dialogue gets increasingly more suggestive, with her telling the player character she'll touch herself to his poem, handing in an unreadable poem covered in suspicious red and yellow stains that she says "is endowed with her scent," and during her confession scene she outright mentions that she does unspeakable things involving a pen she stole from the player character. Monika also implies that Yuri's Self-Harm habit is sexual in nature, but she also has reason to lie since she wants Yuri to look bad.
  • Played for drama in Fate/stay night: Sakura Matou, due to the side effects of some horrific magical body modifications, gets sexually aroused very easily. That would just be mildly embarrassing on its own, specially for a shy and quiet girl like her, but when factoring in that her adoptive brother Shinji has been raping her for years, one can understand why she's dreadfully ashamed.
    • And also Shirou seems to be one too considering he had an Erotic Dream involving Rin, and has a porn stash, not to mention his propensity for extremely lewd and bizarre mental tangents when presented with erotic scenarios.
  • Yumiko in The Fruit of Grisaia at first seems like the most modest and reserved of the girls, but she actually has the most knowledge in the group about sex and spends a lot of nights looking up porn online.
  • Hatoful Boyfriend's darker "Bad Boys Love" route has a scene in which Sakuya attributes Yuuya's hacking skills to pirating porn. Yuuya is the resident Chivalrous Pervert, so no fowl here... until Ryouta, the innocent childhood friend, wonders what porn Yuuya's watching that taught him this, and decides that he needs to get some of that.
    • There's a birdwatching club at St. Pigeonation's, the all-bird high school. Canon left it an amusing unknown, but fanon naturally holds that it's a voyeurism club.
  • Lilly Satou from Katawa Shoujo has a "healthy adolescent sex drive", which involves anything from light bondage to exhibitionism. Who saw that coming?
  • Little Busters!:
    • There's Nishizono Mio, who, upon being invited by Riki to be the manager for their baseball team, more than happily fills in the blanks with her mind when Riki fails to mention the "baseball" part quickly enough. Then there's the part where she sees Riki and Kyousuke acting very touchy and mistakes them for gay. Or later when she presses him for information about their childhood together and sighs dreamily... It's not just yaoi, either - one of her sayings after being given a nickname for losing a battle is "Is this some kind of SM thing? You have strange fetishes..."
    • And when the six girls have a Slumber Party and decide to drag Riki over to participate... Yeah.
    • To a lesser extent, Haruka. First we have the famous scene where Haruka invites Riki to fix a bench with her using some very particularly chosen words. Later, when Riki accidentally slips over on a magazine and lands with his hand on her chest, instead of being angry, she murmurs 'It's okay, Riki-kun...' with a blush (Though they are basically dating by that point). And in the anime, when Kurugaya accuses Riki of bringing the girls into the school at night so he can have sex with them, if you look at Haruka she's pulling a pretty serious smirk.
    • Subverted with Riki when Rin recounts a story from their past during the sleepover. From what she recalls, Riki grabbed under her skirt once when they were in junior high. Kurugaya immediately assumes that Riki was excited at the thought of a tomboy like Rin in feminine clothing, and couldn't suppress his desires anymore. When Riki remembers the situation, he recalls that a bug had slipped under Rin's skirt and that he grabbed under to get rid of the bug.
  • In the fourth installment of Monster Prom, Monster Con, April First is a clown monster who is contractually obilgated to always be cheerful, positive, and family-friendly. She has a series of balloon animal mascots that express any emotions she legally can't express, and one of them is a pink bunny who vocalizes her many, many suppressed thoughts of lust and sexual desire.
  • Phantom Thief Silver Cat: The older of the maid siblings, who keeps very close track of Ginka's measurements when designing outfits, and who briefly gets a small nosebleed upon first imagining her mistress in a maid outfit as part of the job.
  • Kareha from SHUFFLE!. Only covert in that she doesn't say out loud what she's imagining. However, whenever a situation that could be construed as romantic or perverted presents itself, she will Squee and glow.
  • In True Love Junai Monogatari, the very sweet and naïve Miyuki Tanaka is revealed to be this if the player pursues her route. Specially when she asks the MC to put on a swimsuit when she gets ready to draw him, and is disappointed when he puts on a normal one — she pretty much tells him to put on a speedo instead.
  • Erika from Umineko: When They Cry may appear as an elegant − if slightly insane − miss detective, but she has some very… special fetishes, be it chopsticks, licking her master's empty teapots, or some of her reactions while being punished by said master. Her pervert side is played in a very dark way during her "wedding" with Battler though.
  • Nayuta, the prim, proper, cold Student Council President from Yumina the Ethereal seems to get turned on by the thought of people watching her having sex. She doesn't stop your H-scene with her even after her imagination causes her and Ayumu's sexual act to appear on a big-screen TV in their school gym.

    Web Animation 
  • The Amazing Digital Circus: In "They All Get Guns", Zooble admits to Caine that what they really want out of an adventure is the ability to have sex. However, since the circus doesn't allow anything of that nature and everyone has Barbie Doll Anatomy, they generally act aloof and disconnected most of the time.
    • Jax excited "Are we finally having this conversation!?" when Zooble complains about not being able to have sex in the Circus implies he himself was also being bothered by it and couldn't wait for the topic to come up.

    Webcomics 
  • In A&H Club, when Eliza babysits Ali, she is horrified that there is "lascivious material" all around the apartment where he could find it, and never mind that he didn't, and she only did because one DVD had fallen down the back of the machine, and after that she went looking for it. She confronts Adrian and Hildegarde and says she should remove it all for Ali's good. After a beat, Hildegarde says that if she wants to borrow it she should just ask, and, blushing crimson, she does. (Note also that Hilde is gay, meaning that the devout and married Eliza is specifically borrowing lesbian porn. A follow-up reveals that she's shared it with her husband, who is also into it.)
  • Enforced and deconstructed in Alfie (2014). In a place like Pickering, where being caught in sex deemed illicit means one is lucky to be merely placed in stocks and pelted with rotten produce rather than flogged, overt perversion is an extremely bad idea. However, the habits Alfie learned there, along with memories of the ostracisation suffered by her mother in part due to the timing of her conception, stay with her when she flees town; this leads her to publicly declare Lydia a liar, creating a rift with most of her few actual friends, wrecking her relationship with Ozge, and sending herself into a spiral of self-loathing... to remain in the good graces of people she holds in quiet contempt.
  • In Bittersweet Candy Bowl, Blur shows some tendencies towards this with Mike and Lucy.
  • Didi from Bomango. It was once revealed that she watched hentai and found tentacles "fascinating" much to her embarrassment. She dressed like a Sexy Catgirl on Halloween which seems normal enough... until you realize that she is holding a whip and not a fake tail and just said she doesn't want a Halloween party hosted at her house because she had "plans".
  • The Shrinking Violet Faen in Drowtales is hinted to have these tendencies, and she was the one who initiated the Relationship Upgrade between her and Ariel after years of UST. Once they're an established couple she wonders aloud if Ariel's shapeshifting abilities could be used for "something fun" and a non-canon version of Faen in a sidestory drops the covert completely and proves to be quite kinky.
  • Justin, of El Goonish Shive, of all the main characters, is the first to wonder if using a Transformation gun on a female results in a male form with generous...er...gentlemanly parts. He was gender-bent at the time, but it was still unexpected.
  • Far Out There: Jenna, of all people, would seem to qualify.
  • Gaia Online's comic introducing their MMO zOMG! involved seemingly Innocent Flower Girl Rina trying to get her hands on an Alruna's Rose, a limited item which equips your avatar with a succubus lover. When the local conman tries to sell her a knockoff, she pointedly asks if it will also become a sexy succubus.
  • The one-shot character in Girl Genius who is Agatha's first client as a fortune teller. She dresses very primly, looks shy and nervous, and the only thing we hear her say is a very quiet "'kay". The stuff we don't hear her say apparently involves a tea cosy, a spoon and forty-three hours.
    Zeetha: I heard you got a spicy one!
  • From Homestuck, Rose sure seemed excited about Karkat's trashy romance novel, and gleefully grabs it away from him.
    • Likewise, Karkat seems mainly focused on the emotional side of relationships...until Jade begins interacting with Jadesprite, prompting a very distracting (to him) mental image of the two making out.
  • Alex/Murfs of Khaos Komix always blushes around his love interest Tom. In the other characters' stories, the impression is that he's blushing because he's shy and embarrassed about his attraction to Tom. In Alex's own story, however, it's revealed that his constant blushing is due to the incredibly dirty thoughts he has about what exactly he'd like to do with Tom.
  • The Law of Purple: Guess what word makes Danni wake up?
  • Magical 12th Graders: Aran, one of the Magical Girls, insists that her (male) biology teacher continue dressing as a magical girl simply because she thinks it's the hottest thing ever.
  • Mousou Telepathy: Toda is nearly unable to express emotion, so most of his classmates don’t think he’s interested in sex. The telepathic main character, Nakano, knows better, as practically every time she interacts with him, at some point she’ll see images of her about to have sex with him. Except Nakano is wrong about the scope of her powers. Her telepathy can pick up words, but any images accompanying them are supplied by her own brain, meaning those are her fantasies, not his. She’s not amused when she realizes this. Toda is still a pervert though; he does have a lot of sexual fantasies about Nakano, just not as many as she initially thinks.
  • Nevermore: In Episode 28, Lenore helps Annabel Lee sit down on a blanket, and gets an eyeful of her cleavage in the process. The coy smile Annabel gives to Lenore's flustered reaction implies that this was no accident.
  • Questionable Content:
    • Hannelore isn't so much "covert" as she is "severely dysfunctional". Nonetheless, it's played off like this trope when she learns from Marigold what "yaoi" is, getting several gigabytes worth of sexy fireman pictures or gets caught peeking at Dora's collection of..."party favors".
      "AAUGH!" *beat panel* "... how does the purple one work?"
    • Mild-mannered gamer geek Dale tested an AI virtual companion service...which dressed the companion as a skimpy Meido based on his internet history. He also apparently owns the entire series of Magical Love Gentlemen (the aforementioned yaoi series Marigold showed to Hannelore).
    • Roko Basilisk is an uptight By-the-Book Cop — and, a bit later on, the boss for an AI Rights group — who self-identifies as "not very fun"... She also has a fetish for bread, especially sourdough, and is actively looking for someone with whom she can share this love. When she, in an attempt to get a deeper appreciation for her kink, becomes Elliot's baker apprentice, she implies that if she doesn't turn down her sensitivity a bit before they start baking, she'll experience an Immodest Orgasm.
    • Former combat robot Bubbles, of all AI, gets blushy at the prospect of touring a sex toy factory her friend works at.
  • Scandinavia and the World: Sister Japan is everything a proper woman should be in Japanese culture, but as soon as she sees attractive dudes lovin' on each other, she just can't help herself.
  • Sequential Art: Kat frequently fantasizes about Art and once stared at his ass while his back was turned waiting in line for coffee (she admits she does this all the time). She also seems to be very interested in how Art sees her: he once imagined an extremely risque RPG getup for her, and she immediately queued into what sort of thing he was imagining and told him to start drawing so she could see it. When he refused on the grounds that he's "too fond" of her to commit that image to paper, it only made her want to see it more. In a panic, he sketches out a more-tasteful-but-still-sexy design for her which she loves, but she still coyly calls him a coward for not drawing the original thought. She also likes to needle him about his more erotic illustration work and the stash of porn on his computer.
    I like how that folder is labeled "References".
  • Seymour on Sinfest has his moments. Especially when a schoolgirl outfit is mentioned, courtesy of Nique.
  • Sweetheart in Skin Horse is an Uplifted Animal Spitz who, at work, is obsessed with proper filing and completion of all necessary paperwork. When not at work, she's obsessed with goblin erotica. An unmade version of her first date with Unity (the script was revealed in a Sunday strip) would have had her get all Lawful Stupid about the venue probably having leash laws, until Unity asked if she wanted her to put her on a leash and got the reply "Oh, god, yes."
  • Gris in Something*Positive works as a busser at a Hooters-style restaurant, where they're popular with the waitresses because they're Not Distracted by the Sexy and always look them in the eye. Cut to Gris explaining to Rory that developing your peripheral vision is great.
  • Matsumoto in Starward Lovers is very no-nonsense and superfocused. She's also the one with a secret stash of "sexy comics."
  • Ruby of Sticky Dilly Buns is something of a textbook case, except that the truth is made explicit to the readers from early on. She enters the comic as a sort of Sour Prude/The Ingenue deconstructed but rapidly discovers a new side to her personality (in a comic that is, after all, a Sex Comedy).
  • Tower of God: Yuri Jahad lusts over Bam to the extent that she gets hilarious Nosebleeds even five years after his assumed death.
  • A rare male example: Onii-chan from Tsunami Channel has shown hints of secretly being a little more "hentai" than he usually acts.
  • Yumi's Cells: Yumi is outward a very meek and shy girl, but she has a perverted side emobided by her "Naughty Cell", a Lovable Sex Maniac who has to be kept in check by the other cells.

    Web Original 
  • H. P. Lovecraft, apparently, going by his "appearance" on Ask Lovecraft. When he tries playing D&D for the first time, he asks the DM if the library is "full of comely women."
  • In the Cartoon Hooligans episode "What if Hulk Ripped His Pants #4", a little boy's mum starts blushing and giggling when she sees Hulk naked, complete with heart symbols around her.
  • The Most Popular Girls in School: Shay van Buren just isn't as outwardly lustful as the other girls in this show, but it's still obvious from the evidence gathered; we get hints of bisexuality and one-night stands in Episode 17, and, in Episode 65, a poster on her bedroom wall says "Hot Pussy".
  • RWBY:
    • Blake Belladonna is very much into romance novels. And by the look on her face, she doesn't want anyone to know this. However the title, "Ninjas of Love," seems to imply a much... deeper meaning than one might find for romance novels.
    • Ruby is also shown enjoying it in RWBY Chibi.
    • In Volume 4, Nora Valkyrie has a moment of this. When both she and her Childhood Friend Lie Ren are pinned to the wall by the Nuckelavee Grimm, Ren is pinned down below Nora, the latter of which is wearing a Minidress of Power. Nora looks down to see Ren getting an eyeful:
      Nora: [gasps] Stop looking! [covers herself and looks away smirking]
      Ren: Guh! [averts eyes]
  • "Summoning Sweeties", a Whateley Universe story, reveals that the character of Molly is one of these. Pity her girlfriend.

    Western Animation 
  • Adventure Time:
    • Finn starts the series cheerfully oblivious to romance beyond the very basics of crushes and kissing. However, as the show goes on and he enters the throes of puberty, he has been shown to develop fantasies and thoughts that he doesn't understand or know how to deal with. This is most apparent in "All the Little People", where Finn is given a bunch of little Simish people resembling his friends and the first thing he does is start putting them in all sorts of relationships, including the Little version of himself with the Little version of Lady Rainicorn (his brother's girlfriend), then Little Finn with both Little Bubblegum (his former crush) and Little Flame Princess (his then-girlfriend) and blushes at the ensuing catfight.
    • Jake keeps that aspect of his life very private and seems like a childish goofball most of the time, but his speech to Finn in "Burning Low" makes it clear that he and Lady Rainicorn are sexually intimate, with Rainicorn's Korean dialogue throughout the show implying they get rather kinky in the bedroom (and outside it).
    • Tree Trunks, of all people. She crushed on Finn (fortunately, it never went anywhere) and in "Apple Thief", she slapped one of the Banana Guard's butts.
  • In the Beany and Cecil episode "Beany Blows His Top", Beany asks his uncle the middle-aged Captain Horatio Huffenpuff if he wants to join them in visiting their respective girlfriends, he tells him he'd rather catch up on sleep, as soon as Beany leaves Huffenpuff pulls down a nightshade on his window, replaces the picture of his middle-aged girlfriend with a young pinup model, and takes out a playboy magazine and looks at the centerfold commenting on her body. Dishonest John happened to be spying on Huffenpuff and can't help but remark about it.
    Dishonest John: And they say I'm a dirty guy!
  • Beavis and Butt-Head: Before Daria got her own show, she had a moment in the episode "Substitute" that showed she might have a dirtier mind than she commonly lets on. When the substitute teacher Jim asked everyone in the class Daria was in who wanted to make love, Daria is among the students who raised their hands. This showed that back then, sex was at least somewhere in the back of Daria's mind, even though Beavis and Butt-head (the two people she interacts with the most) would have been the last guys on earth she would've ever revealed any of her hidden sexual desires to.
  • Centaurworld: "Ride the Whaletaur Shaman!" reveals that Wammawink has a serious thing for merguys, with Glendale claiming she was forced to help Wammawink publish her merman zine under penalty of starvation. Even when the Merguy they meet isn't up to her standards appearance-wise, she ends up still lusting over him for his personality.
  • The title character of Courage the Cowardly Dog is sometimes hinted to have a perverted side in spite of usually being altruistic and kindhearted. It is implied in "Hard Drive Courage" that he has a collection of porn on his computer, and a flashback in "Remembrances of Courage Past" has Courage as a puppy stumble upon a woman showering while opening doors and looking for his parents and takes a second look with glee before continuing his search.
  • The title character of Danny Phantom, is shown to be a genuinely sweet, awkward kid, though a still shot in "Memory Blank" shows that he has used his ghost powers to secretly go into the girls' locker room (twice).
  • Such a gag turns up in the John R. Dilworth short The Dirdy Birdy. Fergurina is clearly shown to not be amused by Purdy's attempts to court her by mooning her, but in a scene where she returns home with groceries, she pulls out a picture of a muscular man in a speedo from her paper bag and looks at it with a grin.
  • Hazbin Hotel: Charlie Morningstar is a sweet, All-Loving Hero demon in a committed and stable relationship with Vaggie. That being said, in a brief moment in "Inside of Every Demon is a Rainbow", Charlie is shown holding up a demon's bra with a sly smile, and in "Happy Day In Hell", when she notices two demons having sex, she walks right up to them to stare in fascination.
  • Kaeloo: Kaeloo may project herself as pure and innocent, but the excited way she reacts to presumably seeing Mr. Cat naked in one episode suggests that she may not be so innocent after all. Another episode had her grope Chippendales Dancers at a bachelorette party.
  • The Legend of Vox Machina has the sweet, religious cleric, Pike, distracted and intrigued by a displayed erotic novel ("Tusk Love") while shopping for supplies. A Freeze-Frame Bonus much later reveals that she went back and bought it.
  • Metalocalypse: In one episode, Murderface tries to sound chivalrous and defend women's honor, but his bandmates see it for what it is: a transparent ruse to get women to sleep with him. It doesn't work for him at all.
  • Melissa Chase from Milo Murphy's Law informs Milo that she does find Pep Rallies to be peppy after she watches the school mascot fall out of his costume.
  • In OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes, Dendy shows some signs of this, despite her young age. She watches Radicles work out through his window and writes her name on his chest with a laser pointer in a later episode.
  • The Owl House:
    • Amity Blight's response to Luz asking her to join the grudgby team is to sputter about how she'd be seeing her sweating in a cute uniform, before excusing herself to running off with a bright red Luminescent Blush.
    • Luz Noceda herself isn't much better. Shortly after they start dating, Luz finds herself in a space between dimensions where she can spy on anybody on the Human or Demon realms. The first thing that comes to mind is to use it to see Amity, while having a big blush on her face, though she stops herself before she can actually see anything.
  • South Park:
    • The Broflovskis. Despite Sheila being a poster child Moral Guardian Knight Templar Parent, there have been multiple episodes alluding to their sex life including some very 'interesting' role play.
    • Butters Stotch seems like the closest thing on the show to a kind, innocent child. He's already very crazy about girls, almost to Kenny's level.
  • Teacher's Pet (2000) hints at the grouchy canary Pretty Boy being this in the episode "Being Mrs. Leadready", where Spot asks him and Mr. Jolly to help him in having to show up at the Helpermans' house as both his human persona Scott Leadready II and Scott's mother. Pretty Boy and Mr. Jolly insist that they'll only help Spot if he provides them with things they want, with one of Pretty Boy's demands being that his cage be lined with the teeny weenie bikini issue of a sports magazine.
  • The Larry 3000 from Time Squad. He has video of Tuddrussel singing in the bathroom wearing only a towel and reads Jackie Collins novels (which are notorious for being highly sexual and sleazy).
