A cover or packaging for a product uses overt sexual imagery (exactly how overt can depend on the product).

{{examples}}
* UGO did a whole list: [https://web.archive.org/web/20130625181949/http://www.ugo.com/music/25-borderline-pornographic-album-covers 25 Borderline Pornographic Album Covers]. (might be NSFW)
* R&B and [[Hip Hop]] covers often do this, like the picture, for Trina's ''[[Everything's Sparkly with Jewelry|Diamond]] [[Everything's Better with Princesses|Princess]]'' album.
* Of particular note is Sugar Ray's "Lemonade and Brownies."
Line 29:
* The ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni]]'' [[Compressed Adaptation|anime]] covers are [[Covers Always Lie|full of this.]]
* ''[[OneChanbara]]''
* No box art for ''[[
** Similarly, the ''[[Spellforce]]'' series.
*[[Dungeons
** Earlier [[sourcebook]]s included OD&D ''[http://index.rpg.net/display-entry.phtml?mainid=4578 Supplement III: Eldritch Wizardry]''. Its cover got a naked young lady tied to an altar. This may also explain the appearance of more than one developer with exotic fetish of the word "Eldritch" in 3e era.
** With prudishness added later on, the trend shifted to the valley between "[[Chainmail Bikini]]" and "[[You Have Got to Be Kidding Me!]]" - an example on the latter border is the cover of ''[http://index.rpg.net/display-entry.phtml?mainid=10116 The North]'' box set. There's a giant frying some chick on a stick over bonfire, but he left her underwear to preserve the modesty.
Line 41:
* ''[[The Elder Scrolls]]: Arena'' is notorious for its [[Contemptible Cover]] featuring a warrior woman in a leather bikini standing in a colosseum, largely because the game contains ''neither'' [[Lady Not-Appearing-In-This-Game|sexy women]] nor gladiatorial combat.
* Oh, lord ''[[Record of Agarest War]]'' US packaging. The entire outer box for the limited edition is covered in the most [[Fan Service|Fanservicey]] images they could pull from the game. For reference, the actual game is a [[Dating Sim]]/Strategy RPG which is pretty [[Fan Service|Fanservicey]] at times, but is not nearly the wall-to-wall sex romp they try to make it seem like.
* Most [[Roxy Music]] album covers are like this.
* YMMV about its sexiness, but seemingly [[Najica Blitz Tactics]]' DVD sets contained female panties inside. Given the [[Panty Shot|abundance of female undergarments]] featured in the show, it's quite fitting.
* The original ''[[Psycho]]'' poster had Janet Leigh in a bra as the central image.
* The rerelease of ''69 Boyz'' 199Quad album had [https://web.archive.org/web/20110313084352/http://www.coverhunt.com/go/B00005MKA2 this] as it's cover. Was also done for their [http://d.yimg.com/ec/image/v1/release/157680024;encoding=jpg;size=300;fallback=defaultImage Greatest Hits]{{Dead link}} album.
* All of the ''Erotic Lounge'' album covers.
* [[Lady Gaga]]'s ''[[wikipedia:File:ReLadyGagaTheRemixAlbum.JPG|The Remix]]''. Weirdly, while her videos/concerts are filled with fanservice, this is her only album cover with it (all others have just her face).
* The Australian 'special edition' DVD of ''[[Clerks]]'' (which they called the 'Snowball Edition') proudly displayed the logo atop the midsection of a bikini-clad model. Because, you know, that perfectly sums up a black-and-white movie about the drab life of a convenience store clerk.
* The cover for the 1965 LP (that's the big black disk-like thing that makes sounds) ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20130512081113/http://www.franklarosa.com/vinyl/Exhibit.jsp?AlbumID=39 Whipped Cream And Other Delights]'' is literally the only reason anyone remembers that musical group. At least that album included a song named "Whipped Cream".
* Spoofed in an episode of ''[[Family Guy]]'' where Meg gets a makeover and becomes a pop starlet. The family's producer says they need to get her half-naked and slap her on the album cover in order to attract listeners with "hot jailbait ass". The covers shown include Meg as the Statue of Liberty (''"Statutory"'') and her sitting naked in a frying pan (''"Meg On Your Face"'').
* ''[[The Noob]]'' [http://www.thenoobcomic.com/index.php?pos=186 shows] how this is done.
