[[Five Races|Humanoid fantasy races]], [[Rubber Forehead Aliens]], and the like will have genitalia [[Male-to-Female Universal Adaptor|close enough to the human model]] that they ''can'' [[Boldly Coming|get down]] [[Interspecies Romance|and dirty]] with humans [[Human Aliens|or the equivalent]]. ([[Mermaid Problem|Most of the time, anyway]].) However, there will usually be just enough variance to make the experience... ''different'' for the human participant.
Line 12 ⟶ 13:

{{examples}}
 
== Comic Books ==
* ''[[XXXenophile]]'': Worked over up, down, sideways, and diagonally in Phil Foglio's comics.
Line 25 ⟶ 27:
* A common cliche in Kirk/Spock [[Slash Fic]] is having Spock's genitalia be [[Alien Blood|green and double -ridged.]] It's also very common to have them be naturally self-lubricating for [[Slash Fic|obvious]] [[Awesome Yet Practical|reasons]]. Vulcans also don't have foreskins. Klingons have ridged penises too, just like the ridges on their (spinoff-only) foreheads. This is all on alt.startrek.creative.erotica.
* The ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]'' fanfic [http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Love_Can_BLAM Love Can BLAM] has a Tau woman with an oddly-shaped...yeah, that. It also ignores the canon statement that Tau women do not have boobs.<ref>Of course, almost ''everyone'' ignores that statement, for various reasons, including biological evidence why it would be unlikely at best for a bipedal mammalian species to lack such assets.</ref> Link is NSFW.
:Also on 1d4chan, the Wet Dream of Selena Agna has an Eldar woman with very few differences from a human woman except for her somewhat elongated figure and her total lack of bodily hair. The human woman in that one doesn't have pubic hair either, though... Link is NSFW.▼

* '' [[Megamind]]'': Being a complete and utter fangirl-magnet {{spoiler|(and one half of an ''extremely'' popular, not to mention ''canon'', pairing with the film's leading lady)}}, just what Megamind is holding in those [[Fetish Fuel|tight, leather pants]] has been explored every whichever bizarre, kinky way that fanfiction writers can think of. ([[Naughty Tentacles|Tentacles]] seem to be the most popular... )
* ''[[The Penguins of Madagascar]]'' fic "Princess"; Burt refuses to believe that Julien [[Transsexualism|has a uterus]] because he's seen Julien go to the bathroom. Julien explains that, [[Shown Their Work|being a ring-tailed lemur]], he has a pseudopenis (the clitoris is enlarged by high blood testosterone levels).
Line 32 ⟶ 33:
** Also, buckets are involved somehow.
* In the ''[[Romance Reports]]'' spinoff ''Like Fine Wine'', it is revealed that dragons have hemipenes like many real-world reptiles.
* Far too many ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' comics to count make the draenei's face tendrils erogenous zones.
 
 
Line 44 ⟶ 45:
* In ''[[The Witches of Eastwick]]'', the Devil-character's penis is described as bending backwards, which is apparently a major turn-on to the witches.
* The comedy film ''[[Paul]]'' has the title alien remark, "Hey, on my planet, this is ''small!''"
* ''[[Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country|Star Trek VI the Undiscovered Country]]'': Kirk is assaulted by a towering alien. Kirk kicks the alien in the knee. The alien promptly drops and curls up in a ball of agony. He is immediately informed, "That was not his knee. Not everyone [[Groin Attack|keeps their genitals]] in the same place."
* Similar to the above example: [[Men in Black (film)|"Kay! He's a Ballchinian!"]]
 
 
== Literature ==
* Mole-Manic sex is very vaguely described in ''[[More Information Than You Require]]'', in that they are said as [[Mind Screw|being eusocial, liking of threesomes, reproducing hermaphroditically like snails, laying eggs like frogs, rearing their young like marsupials]], [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|and being fond of blow jobs]]. Their actual genitalia are not as extensively detailed, except for the fact that they can change gender, and they have something called a "cloacal life sac"...and given what a cloaca is (explained by the "real Life" section down below)...
* ''[http://www.amazon.com/Details-Hunt-Laura-Baumbach/dp/0979311020 Details of the Hunt]'' is about an alien—who has a prehensile dick with [[Naughty Tentacles|Naughty Suction Cup Tentacles]] at the base—getting involved with a human.
* ''[[The Forever War]]'': Subverted in Joe Haldeman's novel; a [[Mind Probe]] produced by the Earth military portrays Tauran soldiers raping human women to death with gigantic purple members, an entirely fanciful depiction as at the time the film is made nobody on Earth has ''the slightest idea'' what a Tauran looks like, in order to get the human soldiers angry enough to kill. The hero is aware that it is totally false but his subconscious makes his teeth start grinding in readiness to kill! {{spoiler|Ultimately they turn out to be an androgynous clone species}}.
Line 56 ⟶ 57:
** 'The Opiuchi Hotline'': Varley is very fond of this trope. The heroine dismisses a potential suitor because he'd had his penis radically modified to fit the latest fetish/fad (he protests that it [[Male-to-Female Universal Adaptor|came with an adapter]]) and another character who'd gone in for much more radical body modifications is credited for a very creative solution to the question of where a crotchless woman would keep her genitals. In both cases Varley (perhaps wisely) left the actual details to the reader's imagination.
** ''Steel Beach'': Opening line: "The penis will be obsolete within three months."
* In [[Ursula K. Le Guin|Ursula K. Le Guin's]]'s ''Ekumen'' series, the Gethenians are physically neuter humanoids who go into "kemmer" (basically heat) and take on the characteristics of one of the sexes. Genly, a human male, spends several years with the Gethenians and is mistaken for a "pervert" or someone who is always in kemmer, which suggests that at least the anatomy is similar, and {{spoiler|though they never actually try it out}} at one point he wonders about whether or not humans and Gethenians are physically capable of having sex with each other. Odds are that they could, since the Gethenians are essentially genetically-engineered humans, created in the distant past as an experiment to see how a lack of gender duality will influence their culture. Almost all human worlds in the Ekumen universe were created as sociological experiments - [[Ancient Astronauts|including Earth]].
* [[L. Sprague de Camp|L Sprague De Camp]]'s ''Viagens Interplanetarias'' series features a race of humanoid monotremes from the planet Krishna that, while anatomically similar to (but not interfertile with) humans, take considerably less time to climax. For this reason female Krishnans tend to seek out male humans for liaisons, while female humans try to avoid male Krishnans. It's also worth noting that, while humans last longer, male Krishnans were capable of copulating much more often (15-20 times per night).
* Vonda N. McIntyre's "[[Our Mermaids Are Different|divers]]" arguably count: The men have internal testes and a retractable penis, mainly for the sake of streamlining.
* [[Alan Dean Foster]]'s Quozl mate compulsively several times a day, copulate for longer sessions than humans do, and are sexually compatible with us. Hardly unexpected: they're bipedal alien ''rabbits''.
Line 63 ⟶ 64:
* ''Orion Arm'': The third book of Julian May's series has the main character turned into one of the alien Haluk (on a superficial level). While the twigs and berries are never actually described, there is a reference to there being...well...two.
* ''[[Ringworld]]'' by Larry Niven: The Ringworld is home to thousands of Pak-descended hominids, nearly all of which are sexually compatible (albeit not fertile) except when their overall body sizes are too extreme and/or one of the prospective partners has to mate underwater. Exotic Equipment does oblige Chmee, a non-hominid alien, to sit out the cross-species games; at one point, he exposes himself to a native to show why he can't participate.
* In Richard Laymon's ''[[The Beast House|The Cellar]]'', the Beast is described as having a very ornate member, complete with a retractable tongue.
* The ''[[Red Dwarf]]'' novel ''Backwards'' confirms that the Cat has a barbed penis like his ancestors.
* The Spacers in Samuel R. Delany's short story "Aye, and Gomorrah..." have been artificially neutered in some fashion, although ''how'' is only implied.
Line 80 ⟶ 81:
*** Another Narn once called him on his attraction to Human females by picking up a pair of panties from the floor of his quarters.
** Centauri, on the other hand, well...Let's just say a Centauri was once accused of cheating at cards using his "tentacles". And as Vir made clearer later, they have six of them.
*** Londo was actually SHOWN''shown'' cheating at cards this way.
* The Tectonese from ''[[Alien Nation (TV series)|Alien Nation]]'' are anatomically capable of having sex with humans, but mixed couples have to take classes to learn how to get it on safely. Untrained trysts generally result in the human [[Running Gag|wearing a neck brace]].
** The Tectonese can also get their freak on for fun with just the two of them, but if procreation is the desired result they require a member of their specialized "third gender" to act as a catalyst.
Line 91 ⟶ 92:
 
== Music ==
* The Julie Brown song "Earth Girls Are Easy" (inspiration for the [[Earth Girls Are Easy|film of the same name]]) has a lot of fun with this trope
{{quote|"Is that your tongue?"
"One of them, yes." }}
