[[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.
 
If male, the non-human partner will also often be well-endowed. If female, she'll almost invariably lack pubic hair.
Line 10:
If this isn't made explicit in the canon, [[Rule 34|expect it to]] be [[Fetish Fuel|explored]] in [[Fanfic]].
 
See also: [[Interspecies Romance]], [[Bizarre Alien Biology]], [[Bizarre Alien Reproduction]], [[Vagina Dentata]], and [[Naughty Tentacles]]. Contrast [[Male -to -Female Universal Adaptor]]. Compare with the [[Mermaid Problem]].

Line 52:
* [[John Varley]]
** ''[[Gaea Trilogy]]'': The Titanides are basically centaurs with two distinct genders despite looking all female from a distance, but three sets of genitals (only the humanoid-style one of which determines whether they're considered male or female) and a reproductive cycle that makes for somewhat complex familial relationships. They're also reasonably compatible with humans to the point of being able to produce [[Half-Human Hybrid|hybrid offspring]], which may be somewhat [[Justified Trope|justified]] in that they're actually a genetically engineered lifeform created by the 'goddess' of their world when it became clear that a first contact with mankind would be eventually inevitable. (Gaea has her issues, but she's shown to be well equipped for creating new lifeforms from scratch.)
** '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]] ''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]].
Line 81:
* The Tectonese from ''[[Alien Nation (TV)|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.
* ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'' speculates upon this, but doesn't show. "I wonder what else he's got two of?" As Time Lords [[Human Aliens|look indistinguishable from humans on the outside]] but have [[Bizarre Alien Biology]] on the inside, it could really go either way.
* ''[[Farscape (TV)|Farscape]]'': Near the end of season 4 in the episode 'We're so Screwed Part 2: Hot to Katratzki' Chiana approaches a Scarran who had ordered her to be cut open in a previous episode and asks him if Scarrans have [[Pardon My Klingon|mivonks]]. Before he can answer, she knees him between the legs then falls to the ground, clutching her knee. The Scarran looks down at her and says, "Yes. But they're not external."
* According to [[Neil Gaiman]]'s ''Don't Panic!'', the costumer for the TV version of ''[[The Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy (TV)|The Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy]]'' gave Zaphod's trousers a double fly, suitably padded.
Line 95:
{{quote| "That sure is a big piece of machinery you've got!"<br />
"I made it myself." }}
::Ironically, the film used [[Male -to -Female Universal Adaptor]] instead
* Speaking of Joe Haldeman, his [[Filk Song]] "The Ballad of Stan Long" has this as its premise, as the narrator is surprised to discover the reason why his titular shipmate/drinking buddy is always a [[Chick Magnet]]... and why his admirers always come in pairs.
 
Line 102:
* In ''[[Dungeons and Dragons (Tabletop Game)|Dungeons and Dragons]]'', elves have no body hair. (It's specifically stated that you have to be a Half-elf to grow a beard, although in ''[[Hackmaster (Tabletop Game)|Hackmaster]]'', an elf with the Hairy flaw can attain facial hair in the extreme form of an 'Evil Spock goatee'.)
* ''[[GURPS (Tabletop Game)|GURPS]]: Bio-Tech'': "Exotic Genitalia" is a feature available as is "Enhanced Male Primary Sexual Characteristics". But of course.
* ''[[The Dark Eye (Tabletop Game)|The Dark Eye]]'' mostly follows the [[Male -to -Female Universal Adaptor|fantasy RPG standard]], as evidenced by the existence of half-elves and half-orcs. The reptilian Achaz, however, fall under this trope - they have no visible external genitalia (as evidenced by the picture showing the playable races, where the Achaz is the only one out of eight to not wear a loincloth), and sex for them is purely a matter of procreation, with no fun involved whatsoever.
 
 
Line 144:
* In ''[[Drawn Together]]'', the princess was cursed with a tentacled netters.
* In ''[[South Park (Animation)|South Park]]'', the Gelgamek vagina is three feet wide and filled with razor-sharp teeth.
* ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'': fanon has it, certainly not entirely uninfluenced by the infamous Ask Princess Molestia blog, that unicorn horns are very much like penises, including horn-sucking. It certainly comes in handy given the [[Improbably -Female Cast]].
