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)

* Of particular note is Sugar Ray's "Lemonade and Brownies."
* [http://img.maniadb.com/images/album/172/172212_1_f.jpg This cover] for R&B group
* Ultra Records. Each installment in the ''Ultra.Trance'' and ''Ultra.Dance'' series feature a different bikini-clad girl on the cover.
* There was a package that had a woman snuggling up in a [[Pretty in Mink|white fox coat]], and having a seductive look on her face. The package was for some incense, but it was "musk" scent, so it might have been a form of [[Sex for Product]].
* The cover of the [[Long Title|insanely long-titled debut album]] by
* ''X-Blades'' does this a '''lot''' with the heroine (of course, within the game as well).
* Nearly any magazine about custom cars has a [[Hood Ornament Hottie|woman draped over a car]] on the cover.
* Jean Paul Gaultier iconic perfume bottles shaped as a [[Of Corsets Sexy|corseted torso]].
* The ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro
* ''[[
* No box art for ''[[
** Similarly, the ''[[Spellforce]]'' series.
*[[Dungeons & Dragons]]
* A series of "historical" [[Dungeons and Dragons|D20]] game supplements were published by Avalanche Press. All of the books featured a scantily clad large breasted woman on the cover, even for settings set in the most frigid climates.▼
** 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.
* The Ravenloft supplement Van Richten's Guide to Lycanthropes features cover art depicting what is possibly supposed to be a painful transformation into a terrible beast under the light of the full moon, but more closely resembles [[Looks Like She Is Enjoying It|a woman in a nightgown mid orgasm]].▼
** 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.

* The St. Pauli Girl Beer logo certainly helps push the sales.
* ''[http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/4/47/NES_Arkistas_Ring.jpg/256px-NES_Arkistas_Ring.jpg Arkista's Ring]'' for the NES pictures Christine in a [[Chainmail Bikini]].
* Covers for ''[[Battle Chess]]'' show the queen in a much skimpier dress than in the actual game.
* ''[[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
* Oh, lord ''[[Record of Agarest War]]''
* 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 ''[[
* 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 ''[
* 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.
