Of course, stripping the subject of the painting comes at a cost... Namely, the appearance of the removal of the clothing/armor from everyone in the room. Fortunately, it's only an illusion, but it's good for scaring the pants off of everyone. The effect is like ''Emperor's New Clothes'', except the subject cannot see their clothes either.

The room is occupied by a Medium-sized statue of a beautiful, androgenous figure. Anyone who stands directly in front of it - and ''only'' directly in front of it - sees its eyes as glowing red. One might expect a gaze trap, but in reality, the effect already starts upon standing in that location.
 +
 +
The trap first uses a variant of ''Detect Sexuality'', rotating a hidden internal dial in a casting rune (a Rogue who gets to the dial will see two settings, "DUDES" and "CHICKS") hidden on the inside of the base of the statue. The rune is then activated, temporarily warping the victim's sexuality to the opposite extreme (a man generally attracted to women would find himself exclusively attracted to men for one hour). The would-be victim can escape the spell by getting off the pressure plate between when the eyes start to glow and the spell is cast - about one second.

Annoying? Probably. REALLY annoying? After you throw in some of the sexy-yet-nonlethal traps and the subject acts.
