Bridge Bunnies on a military starship will be issued go-go boots and hoochie skirts with their uniforms. Stripperiffic outfits on female characters --at least, young and attractive ones-- are common in any genre where straight young men represent the core of the audience. This can be self-fulfilling, as sexually exploitative wardrobe choices can be a turn-off to potential female fans. This Trope can be applied in the opposite direction; in the West, this takes the form of inserting 'exceptionally flattering' clothing for male roles, such as policemen, firemen, male gardeners or pool boys, into traditionally female-oriented fare, like soaps and prime-time dramas. But these tend to accentuate a man's musculature and physical strength, whereas women in fantasy are almost always drawn as waiflike supermodels. In Anime and Manga, however (especially those aimed at a female audience), the Bishounen can be as scantily clad as the girls. Rule of Sexy is the Super-Trope. Compare Theiss Titillation Theory and Go-Go Enslavement. For its Male counterpart see Eating the Eye Candy, Hot Men At Work and Walking Shirtless Scene.
