* Batou doesn't have nipples in ''Anime/GhostInTheShellStandAloneComplex''. He's a full-prosthetic cyborg, and that other than for pure aesthetics, there's no reason to put a useless feature on a prosthetic unless it serves a purpose.

** ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamThe08thMSTeam The 08th Mobile Suit Team]]'' does this inconsistently in regards to breasts. When introduced to the young guerrilla girl, she's seen swimming naked, with clearly-drawn nipples. About halfway through the series, in an odd "hot tub" scene, the love interest is shown topless--with no nipples at all. The oddest thing is that the first example is mentioned to be underage, whereas the latter is a fully adult woman.

* ''Manga/InuYasha'':

* In director Creator/KevinSmith's fantasy/comedy ''Film/{{Dogma}}'', the archangel Metatron, seeking to reassure a mortal female that his intentions are purely honorable, explains to her that he is "as anatomically impaired as a Ken doll" and then drops his pants to prove it. Ditto for the female Muse who ''works in a strip club''. Naturally, Jay complains that "they're getting a freebie" when she proves it.
* In ''[[Creator/SeltzerAndFriedberg Epic Movie]]'', a parody of the film version of Characters/{{Mystique}} is present. Similar to that version, despite being completely naked, no genitals or nipples are visible. In fact, later on in the film, she drags the main character Peter into a tent to have sex with him and asks him for requests. He actually requests [[BreastExpansion "Big Hooters with Silver Dollar Nipples",]] however, despite her breasts enlarging, no nipples become visible. They do start to get it on at the end of the scene before it [[FadeToBlack fades to black,]] but it's unknown how it's possible if she may not be able to shape shift the necessary "attributes" for it. It's possible it happens offscreen as this was both originally a PG-13 film (and even the Unrated cut has a rather small amount of nudity) along with the fact the final transformation was [[FanDisservice an overweight fat grandma body type with yellow eyes and a unibrow,]] it may have been quite disturbing to look at...
* Characters/TheThing is entirely naked in ''Film/FantasticFour2015'', highlighting the fact that he has no penis or testicles. Interestingly enough, Creator/StanLee [[WordOfGod confirmed]] that the Thing ''does'' have genitalia in the comics, which is why he is usually seen in pants or shorts.

* In ''Film/GhostInTheShell2017'', as in the [[Manga/GhostInTheShell original manga]] the Major spends a fair amount of time unclothed since she can only [[InvisibilityCloak turn invisible]] without clothes on. Unlike in the manga, though, her cybernetic body has no primary or secondary sexual characteristics.
** Actually, as in the manga, she's wearing a skintight suit called thermoptic camouflage. In the manga, it happens to be the same color as her skin. In the movie, it's white (when the camouflage isn't active).

* Literature/Aeon14: After Sera gains a morphable polymer skin, [[PosthumanNudism she ceases to wear clothes]] in favor of making use of her newly gained flesh to render her bits invisible.
* In ''Literature/DanceoftheButterfly'' some of the [[spoiler:demons]] have no visible genitalia. This is due to their being truly without gender.
* In Creator/KimNewman's ''Literature/DarkFuture'' novels, the Josephite church members [[BodyHorror slowly but surely turn]] into cliche-spewing Series/DonnyAndMarie lookalikes which have no nipples or genitals and their toes fuse together, just like plastic dolls.
* In Creator/JohnVarley's "Literature/EightWorlds" stories there is a "Barbie Colony" on the Moon; a sect that believes in surgical modification as well as psychological subjugation to an ideal of sexless, genderless, identity-less conformist living. A key discovery in Lunar police detective Anna-Louise Bach's investigation is, as it turns out, a merkin.

* Eli, the 11-12 year old... vampire, of ''Literature/LetTheRightOneIn''. He has nipples, but no genitalia. [[GroinAttack He wasn't always]] this way, though. [[Film/LetTheRightOneIn The (Swedish) movie]] brings this up, and it is even ambiguous what gender Eli originally had.
* In Creator/AlastairReynolds ''Literature/RevelationSpace'', one of the crew members of the [[CoolStarship Nostalgia For Infinity]] has done this to herself.

* ''Series/AlmostHuman'': In episode 5 the MX model androids are shown as literally this trope in the crotch area, complete with doll hip joints. Detective John Kennex references this when he says he can't get the image of a life-sized Ken doll out of his head.

** ''Crusade'' has an episode (nr. 6) starting with Gideon watching some topless nude women kissing. The women have "Digitally Enhanced" breasts, that is, digitally removed nipples. Breasts with nipples are too shocking, apparently.
** In an episode of the main show, a merchant was selling dolls of the station staff and ambassadors. When Londo Molari found out it had no... attributes he was deeply insulted, feeling he was being symbolically cast... [[LastSecondWordSwap in a bad light]].
** In another episode Londo's 'attributes' are fully shown to the audience, who at that point had no idea that they just watched him covertly swapping playing cards with his junk. Centauri genitalia is... [[BizarreAlienBiology different]].

* The ''Series/BlackMirror'' episode "Recap/BlackMirrorUSSCallister" sees the trope invoked by the villain, Robert Daly who holds all the virtual people, digitally cloned from people in the real world, prisoner in a twisted recreation of his favorite TV show ''Space Fleet''. Since ''Space Fleet'' is supposed to be a "wholesome" universe, Daly has used his RealityWarper powers to remove all genitals and anuses from the digital clones. This upsets the newest clone, Nanette, to lead the others to rebel.
-->'''Nanette:''' Stealing my pussy is a red fucking line.

* Shows up in the ''Series/ICarly'' episode ''iCarly Awards'', when one of the eponymous awards is shown bottomless.
* Lyekka on ''Series/{{Lexx}}''. "Yes Stan, I am smooth around the bend." But then, being Stan, he's still interested in whatever she can provide, enough so to risk being eaten if necessary.

-->"Smooth as the bonnet of a Porsche."

* ''Series/StarTrekVoyager''
** For obvious reasons the Emergency Medical Hologram was designed without genitals. However in "Message in a Bottle", the Doctor implies he's fixed this problem.

'''EMH:''' ''([[TheBodyPartsThatMustNotBeNamed cutting in]] with a smug expression)'' Let's just say I made an [[RoboSexual addition to my program]].
** It is very likely that this also [[BizarreAlienBiology applies to the Ocampa]], as we see Kes in "Before and After" giving birth out of a sack on her back and we learn in "Elogium" that conception occurs only after a male touches the female's palms after they begin to [[FanDisservice secrete some kind of yellow mucus.]]
** In "Latent Image", the Doctor shows off a holographic reconstruction of Ensign Harry Kim. FreezeFrameBonus proves what some fans have been saying all along -- Harry has no balls.

* In ''Manga/YamadaKunAndTheSevenWitches'', the girls don't have nipples or genitals when naked, but the series surprisingly gets away with showing labia bulges or even camel toe during some of the {{panty shot}}s, emphasizing the "more naked when they're clothed" aspect. Guys don't have nipples for most of the story, but have in the latter chapters thanks to ArtEvolution.

* ''/Film/Ted'', being a stuffed animal, obviously lacks genitals. Lampshaded in both movies.

* Film/{{Gremlins}} don't have reproductive organs -- they don't need it since they reproduce by being splashed with water. Best seen when one of them flashes Kate with a coat in the bar scene.

* Probably done by accident, but in ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs1981'' episode "Papa's Big Snooze", when Papa Smurf is knocked on his back from being bit by the slumber bug, his kimono doesn't cover where, um... certain parts are lacking

** "Feral Friends" ends with [=SpongeBob=], Patrick, Squidward, Larry the Lobster, Mr. Krabs, Mrs. Puff, and Pearl all being naked. Again, none of them have any visible genitalia. Mrs. Puff and Pearl are also shown to be flat-chested and nipple-less.
** To be honest, this makes perfect sense, considering that fish and other sea creatures don’t have any external genitalia to begin with

** The Gems, while never being seen without clothes on, seem to be this judging by the mannequin-like shapes they tend to briefly take on when reforming after being poofed, and the fact that several Gems, most prominently Amethyst, have they’re Gemstones where they’re breasts would be. Somewhat [[AvertedTrope averted]] with Rose Quartz, who has visible breasts(though they may simply be a result of shapeshifting).

* In one of the ''ComicBook/{{Flashpoint}}'' miniseries, Batman accidentally shoots a little girl in the chest (she had been disguised as the Joker) and thus performs impromptu surgery to remove the bullet, and in the process, rips her shirt clean off. In spite of there being at least one clear shot of her bare chest, she does not appear to have nipples.

* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanAssaultOnArkham'': Both ComicBook/HarleyQuinn and Killer Frost are depicted topless with enough of their breasts exposed that their nipples should have been visible if this trope weren't in play.

* The Gems from ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'', while never being seen without clothes on, seem to be this judging by the mannequin-like shapes they tend to briefly take on when reforming after being poofed, and the fact that several Gems, most prominently Amethyst, have they’re Gemstones where they’re breasts would be. Somewhat [[AvertedTrope averted]] with Rose Quartz, who has visible breasts(though they may simply be a result of shapeshifting).

* In ''Anime/CowboyBebop'', men don't have nipples. You see Spike with vague nipples in the first episode, but from then on he and the other male characters either have no nipples, or they are covered with bandages. No one has underarm hair or pubes, though some characters have chest hair.
** In the flashback scenes where Spike is having his eye operation, Spike has no nipples nor genitalia. The space between his legs is covered in shadow, except in one shot where the camera angle conveniently places his big toe (which is close to the camera so it seems very large) right in front of the split between his legs.

** Averted ''hard'' in the episode "Jupiter Jazz"; the character of the day in that episode was subjected to a sedative in prison that caused him to get gynomastia. This is revealed to the audience by Faye bursting in on him in the shower and we see his anatomically correct breasts.

[[caption-width-right:225: [- [[WesternAnimation/RobotChicken "This never really happens to me!" "Not having a penis never happens to you?"]]-] ]]

* In ''WebAnimation/TheMostPopularGirlsInSchool'', Matthew has no penis or testicles due to a birth defect. Makes sense considering he (and the rest of the cast) are played by fashion dolls. This is visually represented by not putting a [[CensorBox black bar]] over his crotch like the other guys. Somehow, despite lacking something to produce testosterone, he's had a [[BadassBaritone deep voice]] since ''kindergarten''.

* Some women have rather small vulvas and low facing vagina that could look like she have a featureless crotch if not inspecting closely. Although anyone who crosses their legs in front of their privates can also get this look in front view regardless of gender.

** Averted ''hard''in the episode "Jupiter Jazz"; the character of the day in that episode was subjected to a sedative in prison that caused him to get gynomastia. This is revealed to the audience by Faye bursting in on him in the shower and we see his anatomically correct breasts.

Played straight with Steven himself when he's shown naked at the end of "Frybo."

* In the ''VideoGame/ShadowHearts'' series, Yuri is completely naked in his Seraphic Radiance Fusion, but lacks any genitalia. However, it's an angel form, so it might simply be plain asexual.

* Likewise in the lesser known manga ''Nippon No Razoku'' (a.k.a. ''Japanese Nudists''), which contains even more nonsexualized nudity. The characters' nipples are only drawn as circles indicating the areola, and the rest of the characters' bodies are left more or less like a Ken or Barbie doll (although there are plenty of SceneryCensor Objects around). It's [[UncannyValley fairly jarring]] -- the scenes where the artist draws nothing stand out less.

* In ''Film/GhostInTheShell2007'', as in the [[Manga/GhostInTheShell original manga]] the Major spends a fair amount of time unclothed since she can only [[InvisibilityCloak turn invisible]] without clothes on. Unlike in the manga, though, her cybernetic body has no primary or secondary sexual characteristics.

* In ''Film/GhostInTheShell'', as in the [[Manga/GhostInTheShell original manga]] the Major spends a fair amount of time unclothed since she can only [[InvisibilityCloak turn invisible]] without clothes on. Unlike in the manga, though, her cybernetic body has no primary or secondary sexual characteristics.

* The serialized version of ''Manga/ToLoveRu'' utilizes it, with the nipples never being drawn. The collected volumes adds them back, though as in ''Ranma'' men never have nipples. For some bizarre reason, the second anime avoids this with one exception: Mikan and Yami lack nipples. Even though the even younger-looking Nana and Momo have them. Makes no sense. The manga's continuation ''To Love-Ru Darkness'' moved to a magazine with an older demographic (''Weekly Magazine/ShonenJump'' -> Jump Square). Nipples are shown plainly and several crotch shots have such ridiculously small amounts of SceneryCensor that you really can see some labia.

->''"It's even better than pure nudity! Suitable for all ages! Very wholesome! Moderately sexy, but not dirty at all! We should call this, "The Super Wholesome Space!"''
-->-- '''Sora''', ''LightNovel/NoGameNoLife'', after having just [[PowerPerversionPotential imposed this trope on his opponent]], then following up with TheNudifier.

* ''LightNovel/{{Bakemonogatari}}'' and the ensuing "Monogatari" series anime adaptations all use this trope. Specifically: Hitagi, Senjougahara, Hanekawa, Kanbaru, Shinobu and Koyomi have all had a naked scene at some point; their nipples (and genitals) have always been omitted.

* In ''LightNovel/NoGameNoLife'', Sora and Jibril play a game where you take turns declaring a word or phrase, and then that term is erased or materialized. Naturally, Sora declares [[TheNudifier "girls clothing"]]. Being a good sport, he also erases the girls' naughty bits, saying seeing their bare bodies is enough for him and he'll keep everything "family-friendly."

* Horo from ''LightNovel/SpiceAndWolf'', especially noticeable because she spends an appreciable amount of time naked. Unlike many examples, however, the nudity is never sexualized. In this case especially confusing because half the time her hair just so happens to conveniently cover the offending locations, and the other half the nipples are just completely absent.

* Used in the opening title for ''LightNovel/TheTestamentOfSisterNewDevil''. Interestingly, not only are the female characters shown this way, so is the main hero.

* ''LightNovel/ThatTimeIGotReincarnatedAsASlime'' has an interesting In-Universe case on top of the normal censorship; due to possessing NoBiologicalSex as a slime, as a human, the protagonist Rimuru Tempest doesn't have ''anything'' down there. Whether or not he has nipples isn't known since it could be just censorship in play (other male characters shown topless don't have nipples either). He can use his {{Shapeshifting}} abilities to manifest genitals, though he decides that's more trouble than it's worth.

* Probably done by accident, but in ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs1981'' episode "Papa's Big Snooze", when Papa Smurf is knocked on his back from being bit by the slumber bug, his kimono doesn't cover where, um... certain parts are lacking.
