== Fan Fic ==
* Given far, far too much detail in certain sectors of the [[Furry Fandom]]. This probably starts with the relatively tame "Oh my God! Your goolies seem to be on backwards!" (kangaroo or rabbit) to the more [[Squick|unusual aspects of a feline or canine's intimate anatomy]]. [[Wikipedia (Wiki)|It's best not to ask how these details became common knowledge]].
** The entire fandom has been slowly moving away from [[Art Major Biology]] for a while now, with the exception of deliberate [[Deconstruction|deconstructions]] like "sparkledogs". Another example is the shift away from [[Humanlike Foot Anatomy|humanoid legs]] in a majority of recent art. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing…
* 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 40000 (Tabletop Game)|Warhammer 40000]]'' 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.<br /><br />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 [[Transsexual|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).
* In ''[[Homestuck (Webcomic)|Homestuck]]'', it's never made clear how similar or different trolls are to humans anatomically, as despite having an insect-like lifestyle trolls look like humans with horns and odd coloration. Terms like "bone bulge", "nook", and "seedflap" are used but never explained, meaning that fanfic writers tend to go in pretty much every direction when writing erotica pertaining to trolls.
** Also, buckets are involved somehow.
* In the ''[[Romance Reports (Fanfic)|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.
 
 
== Film ==
* In the 1988 ''[[Alien Nation (Filmfilm)|Alien Nation]]'', human cop Sykes and his newcomer partner Sam Francisco are going through a human murder victim's effects and find a condom.
{{quote| '''Francisco:''' And that fits?<br />
'''Sykes:''' Well, yeah. It's rubber. It stretches. ''[he demonstrates]''<br />
Line 41:
* ''Wham Bam Thank You Spaceman'' has aliens whose fiddly bits are their... noses. And yet they ''still'' make fun of human genital sizes.
* 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 (Film)|Paul]]'' has the title alien remark, "Hey, on my planet, this is ''small!''"
* ''[[Star Trek VI: theThe Undiscovered Country (Film)|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 (Filmfilm)|"Kay! He's a Ballchinian!"]]
 
 
Line 54:
** '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]].
* [[L. Sprague Dede Camp (Creator)|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 62:
* ''[[Ring World]]'' 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 (TV)|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.
 
 
== Live Action TV ==
* ''[[Star Trek: Voyager (TV)|Star Trek Voyager]]''. [[Noodle Incident|Hinted at]] in "The Disease" (no, it's not about a STD).
{{quote| KIM: "I've got to be honest, I wasn't expecting something so different."<br />
TAL: "Neither was I. Our species look so similar... well at least on the surface."<br />
KIM: "I would've never guessed when it came down to the basics. Well, let's just say the birds and bees will be very confused." }}
* ''[[Star Trek: Enterprise (TV)|Star Trek Enterprise]]''. When human crewmember Elizabeth Cutler is attracted to Denobulan doctor Phlox, it's not mentioned whether his sixteen-inch tongue is part of the appeal.
* ''[[Odyssey 5]]''. In "The Trouble With Harry" hedonist Kurt Mendel shares a couple of his good-time girls with a synthetic human, and is rather disconcerted when they start ignoring him at the first sight of the synthetic's implied larger 'equipment'.
* ''[[Babylon 5]]''
Line 79:
** 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 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.
* ''[[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 series)|The Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy]]'' gave Zaphod's trousers a double fly, suitably padded.
* Implied by the leader of a demon biker gang in the season 6 premiere of ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV)|Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'':
{{quote| '''Razor''' (to Willow, Tara, and Anya): Now let me tell you something, children. We're not gonna fight you. We're just gonna hold you down and enjoy ourselves for a few hours. You might even live through it. Except that certain of my boys got some...anatomical incompatibilities that, uh, tend to tear up little girls.}}
 
Line 100:
 
== Tabletop RPG ==
* 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.
 
 
== Video Games ==
* ''[[Mass Effect (Video Game)|Mass Effect]]'': half the [[Bizarre Alien Biology]] leads to awkward problems when it comes to sex: risks of infection, chafing, potentially deadly allergic reactions, etc. There are the occasional exceptions, like the asari's infamous ability to mate and produce viable offspring with ''[[Boldly Coming|any DNA-based lifeform ever]]''. Also, according to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAP92rvm1hQ the veritable database of Interspecies Romance that is Mordin], going down on a drell [[Mushroom Samba|causes hallucinations]].
{{quote| '''Mordin:''' [[Crowning Moment of Funny|"So don't... ahem, ingest."]]}}
::While you don't receive any other information about Krogan genitalia ([[Squick|Thank]] [[Nightmare Fuel|God]]), you do learn that they apparently have four testicles. In Krogan slang, their "pair" is referred to instead as their [[I Call Him "Mister Happy"|"quad"]].
* An in-game book from ''[[The Elder Scrolls II Daggerfall (Video Game)|The Elder Scrolls II Daggerfall]]'', of the Barenziah series (it was censored in later games by an in-game faction) features a mention of the cat-race that is known as Khajiit having barbed penises.
* Implied in ''[[Dragon Age (Video Game)|Dragon Age]]''. Kossith/Qunari ("Qunari" technically refers to people who follow the Qun "religion", but almost all Qunari are members of the kossith species and vice versa, as such the terms tend to be somewhat interchangeable) are hinted to have genitalia different enough from human beings that a human woman having sex with one of them would wind up severely injured. On the other hand, given the circumstances of the hinting, it's possible that the Qunari in question was just messing with the person he was talking with.
** The conversation could also be taken to imply that kossith simply have very rough sex, like [[Star Trek (Franchise)|Klingons]].
 
 
Line 120:
== Web Comic ==
* ''[[Gorgeous Princess Creamy Beamy]]'': X Hoshibana has had problems with dating ever since he arrived on Earth. "It's always the same. I meet someone nice, we have a great evening, but then we get back to the bedroom and they just freak out for no reason! What, is something wrong with one of my penises?" The female Usaginarians and Sucrans (confirmed by [[Word of God]] to have a common ancestor; "Sucra's made of cake, it'd be hard for meat creatures to evolve on it") also have this problem, with nether ink sacs and vaginas "chock full of spinnerets".
* [[Shown Their Work|Implied]] in ''[[Digger (Webcomic)|Digger]]'' with the hyenas.
* ''[[The Order of the Stick (Webcomic)|The Order of the Stick]]''; the [[Lizard Folk]] are apparently structured like real lizards.
{{quote| "I don't need your standard-issue loincloth, [[Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal|I've been walking around without pants this entire time!]] It's called a genital sheath, look it up. Hey, while you're at it, look up 'hemipenes', because [[Curse Cut Short|you can suck BOTH of my-]]"}}
* One ''[[World of Warcraft|By Way Of Booty Bay]]'' comic in [[Super Mega TopiaSupermegatopia]] does this with the Draenei.
{{quote| '''Draenei Female''': "I'm sure I've got nothing you haven't seen before..."<br />
'''Dwarf Male''': "Actually, I've not seen ''that before''. Does it bite?"<br />
Line 140:
** The show also features a background running gag of a male werewolf / female squid couple. Mark notes that finding a partners whose parts match can be difficult, but by the last episode of the first season, those two (as seen through a peephole) seem to be working pretty well together.
** Manbirds have small, horrifying genitals. They wear boxing gloves over them, and lacking hands, this is what they use to fight.
* The ''[[Futurama (Animation)|Futurama]]'' episode featuring the Lost City of Atlanta has Fry marrying a mermaid. Things get very awkward in the honeymoon suite when the bride asks, "What the heck is that?"
* Non-explicit but apparent example in ''[[The Penguins of Madagascar]]''. As with real penguins, the external structure of the eponymous birds is apparently so non-distinct that they literally cannot tell their own sexes without a DNA test, and when Skipper's test comes up female, he believes it.
* 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]].
