Bob and Alice are presumed to have Done The Deed [[note]]read: [[EuphemismBuster had sex]][[/note]] ...except we (the viewer) don't really know for sure if they did. This is usually portrayed in one of these ways.

** In UsefulNotes/{{the Bronze Age|OfComicBooks}} comics, Clark's first date with ComicBook/LoisLane apparently ends with them talking on the couch, having enjoyed a meal of beef bourguignon. {{Fanon}} is that "beef bourguignon" is their codeword for sex from then on. (In ComicBook/PostCrisis comics, it's still Clark's favourite food, and is used as a codeword that he's fine, not a shape-shifting alien monster, and so on...)

* There's the scene in the hot spring between Tidus and Yuna in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX''...

* The [[https://i822.photobucket.com/albums/zz141/elkminlation2/grja-03-1.jpg "Frequency" strip]] from ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'' has Japan find out that Greece is number one in the world when it comes to frequency of sex. Japan comments that he envies Greece's vigor as he considers himself rather lacking in that department, and Greece responds that it's best if he learns how to enjoy it more. Cut to a shot of Japan's house from the outside, with Japan screaming so loudly that another country, China, yells at him to be quiet. Cut to Japan in bed, yelling about how relieved he was that it was all a dream... and Greece sleeping right next to him. And they're both naked. Needless to say, a ''lot'' of fans don't believe Japan's denial there.

** In episode 9 Takashi and Saeko [[KissingDiscretionShot lean towards each other]] just as the scene {{fades to black}}. The next morning, they're seen exiting the temple, fully clothed. But if you look behind Takashi, Saeko appears to be either adjusting her skirt, or her panties[[note]]since both have side ties[[/note]].

* Despite WordOfGod proclamation saying "They Didn't" -- and Rogue canonically losing her virginity to Gambit years later[[note]]Though there was the swiftly-consigned-to-CanonDiscontinuity revelation that she actually had her v-card punched by The Sentry[[/note]], the ''ComicBook/XMen'' fandom remains convinced Magneto and Rogue got together during the time they were stranded and powerless in the Savage Land. The "They didn't" side isn't helped by the fact that that storyline was followed soon after by ''ComicBook/AgeOfApocalypse'' -- Where Rogue and Magneto had a child together. And ''that'' was followed up by one of the first characters introduced in ''ComicBook/{{Exiles}}'' being Magnus, another son of theirs.

* In ''Film/ABiggerSplash'', a vacationing couple is joined at their Italian villa by the female half's ex-lover and his daughter. One day, the woman and her ex-lover venture into town to go grocery shopping, leaving the other two at the home. The boyfriend takes the daughter on a hike. When they arrive at a lake, she strips nude to sunbathe, clearly intending to entice him ... and the scene ends there. Later, her father demands to know "Did you fuck her?", but the man never gives him an answer.

** ''Film/{{Skyfall}}''. BondGirl Eve gives the towel-clad Bond a sexy shave ... and the scene cuts right there. Not even a kiss. Yet a few minutes later, they're roaming about a lavish casino, complimenting each other on how good they look and flirtatiously commenting that "it's amazing what you can do with an extra pair of hands". It's hard to believe that Bond wouldn't have bedded this beautiful woman,[[spoiler: but given that Eve turned out to be Moneypenny, it's obvious why it was left ambiguous]].

* In ''Film/ThePhantomOfTheOpera2004'', Christine is wearing her stockings when she's put to bed at the end of "The Music of the Night", but they are noticeably missing when she wakes up. Continuity error or something more? And it's more like "Did ''He'' or Didn't He?" here. Given Christine's unconscious/entranced state, this could only be considered rape. [[note]]The original script leaves no doubt, as the Phantom is seen ''getting into bed'' with the unconscious Christine and the scene fading out as the song ends.[[/note]]

* ''Literature/SoLongAndThanksForAllTheFish'' points out three previous occasions in ''Literature/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy'' saga on which Arthur Dent may have had sex (with Trillian[[note]]Though ''Literature/MostlyHarmless'' seemed to confirm they didn't, given Arthur's shock at Trillian saying he was her daughter's father (She'd gone to a DNA bank and Arthur was the only other human on file)[[/note]], with a Krikkiter woman, and with Mella the Golgofrinchan) before telling us to [[TheUnreveal mind our own business]]. He does definitely do it with Fenchurch, though.

** And even though the Wilkeses were supposed to have a SexlessMarriage because [[DeathbyChildbirth another pregnancy would probably kill]] Melanie, she turned up pregnant later in the book...

** Ivanova and Talia might have hooked up in Talia's last episode; the writers spent the whole episode ratcheting up the UnresolvedSexualTension, the two definitely shared a bed that night, and Talia casually reached across the bed at one point in the middle of the night (only to find that Ivanova wasn't there any more). And Ivanova admitted in a later episode that she probably loved Talia. But with Talia's [[PutOnABus sudden departure]], it was never clearly resolved exactly how far things had gone.

* Viewers never do find out whether ''Series/BattlestarGalactica2003'''s Roslin and Adama actually did it on New Caprica or not. Fanfic, of course, says they did. And then describes how. [[PornWithoutPlot In graphic detail.]]

** The Tenth Doctor and Rose Tyler, particularly in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E1NewEarth "New Earth"]]. When Cassandra [[spoiler:possesses the Doctor's body temporarily]], she remarks that there are many "parts" that are "hardly used". HARDLY used, not NEVER. And considering Rose is the only person who's really spent time with Ten so far....

* Happens in the end of the first season of ''Series/TheITCrowd'' after a party. First [[OnlySaneMan Jen]] gets a with [[CloudCuckoolander Moss]], Roy with [[{{Squick}} Moss's psychiatrist, who looks like his mother]]... and then Reynholm and Richmond with each other.

* And then there's the scene in the hot spring between Tidus and Yuna in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX''...

* In ''Webcomic/NamirDeiter'', everyone assumed Blue and her boss, Ian were sleeping together. Everyone, up to and including Ian's wife, who uses that as a rationale to file for divorce. They weren't. (They hadn't even entertained the idea until Ian's wife blew things up). And it turned out they didn't go much further after the fact. It also turned out that Ian was lying about his wife's motivation: He used Blue as a scapegoat for his multiple affairs after his wife caught him smelling of (someone else's) perfume.
* In ''Webcomic/NipAndTuck'', one of Nip's fellow stuntmen finds herself with a hole in her memory and missing underwear after a wrap party. And the local Alpha {{Jerkass}} is showing off said panties like a 10-point buck. (Turns out, the Jerkass came across the woman passed out on the toilet, and [[DudeNotFunny swiped her panties as a prank]].)

** In Episodes 42 and 64 Vax and Keyleth respectively call at the other's door at night saying they don't want to spend the night alone, and are let in. That's all we ever see. It's certainly implied they had sex, but we may never know for sure. And as of Episode 65 [[spoiler:when Keyleth tells Vax that she's finally ready to love him,]] it doesn't really matter anyway.
** Before the show started there wasn an encounter between Grog and a water nymph called Nahla. Of the cast only Creator/TravisWillingham (who played Grog) and DM Creator/MatthewMercer knew whether or not something happened between them. It wasn't until the post-campaign wrap-up that we learn that [[spoiler: they did ''not'' have sex]].

** Poor Rogue got this in an earlier issue as well -- while depowered during the original Genosha storyline, there is a panel showing her at the mercy of several Genoshan guards. Even though Chris Claremont has loudly mentioned that nothing major happened, and even had Ms. Marvel explicitly say this in the next issue, many readers were still left with the impression that she was sexually assaulted or worse during her prison stay.

*** Dana has a child in the next movie, and he didn't come out of nowhere. Technically we don't know that he's Lewis', but...

* The fourth season of ''Series/ArrestedDevelopment'' has a variation with [[spoiler:Tony Wonder and GOB]]. The series makes it clear that ''something'' happened, but once you realize that it's next to impossible for [[spoiler:two men to have sex with each other while believing the other to be a woman,]] it raises the question of how far they went.

Bob and Alice are presumed to have Done The Deed [[note]]read: [[EuphemismBuster had sex]][[/note]]... except we (the viewer) don't really know for sure if they did. This is usually portrayed in one of these ways.

* ''Film/BeforeSunrise'', but the sequel ''Before Sunset'' gave a definitive answer. [[spoiler:They did.]]
* In ''A Bigger Splash'', a vacationing couple is joined at their Italian villa by the female half's ex-lover and his daughter. One day, the woman and her ex-lover venture into town to go grocery shopping, leaving the other two at the home. The boyfriend takes the daughter on a hike. When they arrive at a lake, she strips nude to sunbathe, clearly intending to entice him ... and the scene ends there. Later, her father demands to know "Did you fuck her?", but the man never gives him an answer.

** Subverted in the novel ''Death and Diplomacy.'' Benny and Jason get drunk and go to bed together; the narrator talks about how things are usually affable and casual the morning after a drunken hook-up because both parties subliminally know they fell asleep before anything serious could happen. In this case, however, those subliminals are featured using words like "repeated," "volcanic," and "multiple," so breakfast is tense and miserable.

** In the epilogue of ''The Dying Days'', Benny told the Eighth Doctor (whom she'd only just met) that before he left there was something she needed to do. Before he could ask what, she "grabbed the lapels of his frock coat, kissed him square on the mouth and pushed him down hard onto the bed" and...? There's a ShrugOfGod in the author's notes, and that's probably as close as it's going to get with the Doctor.

* ''WesternAnimation/GarfieldsBabesAndBullets'': It's heavily implied that Spayed got laid. Twice. '''By human women'''. It starts when in typical FilmNoir style, the sexy female client invites Sam Spayed to "[[DoubleEntendre have a little milk with her]]", and he reacts much as if she'd invited him in for coffee. At the end, his secretary picks up a pair of glasses and a bottle of milk, sashaying into Sam's office while throwing a few {{Fanservice}} poses, inducing an "oh wow" reaction from Sam.

* In chapter 48, of ''Manga/KaguyaSamaLoveIsWar'' Kashiwagi and her boyfriend see the Student Council for some more love advice, and because of their demeanor around each other and how they talk about their vacation together, it sounds like they've gotten more ''intimate''. By the end of the chapter, neither one of them gives a straight answer, even though they both tricked the Council into thinking they were going to be a couple of MakeoutKids when they got alone time in the Student Council room. Most of the rest of the cast assumes in later chapters they have an active sex life, but the reader isn't given any confirmation one way or the other [[spoiler:until chapter 138 answers quite plainly that they did.]]

** Steven and Anne in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS3E5TheMassacre "The Massacre"]]. They have a little romance and then spend the night together in Preslin's shop [[OffscreenInertia over the gap between episodes]]. When Steven is forced to abandon Anne, he has a small breakdown and storms out of the TARDIS to live the rest of his life wherever the Doctor landed, although he changes his mind soon after. When Steven meets a woman with the same surname as Anne, he immediately assumes she's Anne's descendant even though, as a woman in the Renaissance, Anne wouldn't have given her surname to her child unless the child was born out of wedlock — something rare enough that Steven would have to have a pretty good reason to assume it was the case.

[[quoteright:350:[[Manga/AhAndMmAreAllSheSays https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/didnt_they.png]]]]

# Everyone simply assumes the couple in question did, and said couple never confirms or denies.

* The infamous "arm repair" scene from the ''Anime/AndroidKikaiderTheAnimation'' episode "The Machine That Dreams". Mitsuko probably was ''just'' fixing Jiro's arm. But damn if [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything it didn't look like]] she was working on something else.

* ''Anime/OutlawStar'':

* Many productions of ''Theatre/JosephAndTheAmazingTechnicolorDreamcoat'' handle the end of Joseph's encounter with Mrs. Potiphar this way, even though [[Literature/TheBookOfGenesis the source material]] makes it clear that they didn't. This includes the 1999 filmed version, where the seduction scene ends with Mrs. Potiphar pinning Joseph onto his back on her couch with her foot, and when we return to them, she's sitting on the couch, while Joseph sits up from having apparently been lying with [[LapPillow his head in her lap.]]

* At least twice in the ''LightNovel/{{Bakemonogatari}}'':

* ''LightNovel/SwordArtOnline'': Kirito and Asuna get a RelationshipUpgrade and decide to spend the night together. Asuna starts getting undressed, but Kirito protests that he didn't mean it ''that'' way, to her irritation. Next scene, Asuna is seemingly nude under the blanket, and having a conversation with a fully-clothed Kirito sitting on the bed. Something else worth noting is that in the manga version, Kirito and Asuna are naked (or at least topless/braless) in bed together. The ''Sugary Days'' side-story set during their honeymoon confirms that they did indeed have sex. If that wasn't convincing enough, the first chapter and first half of the second chapter are completely dedicated to their ''second'' time, during which TheirFirstTime is explicitly referenced just to hammer it home.

* From the ''LightNovel/MyTeenRomanticComedySNAFU'' fanfic ''Fanfic/TheEndOfTheAffair''. Pretty much all of chapter 4 implies that Hachiman and Yukino slept together [[spoiler: despite Yukino already being married]] with lines from Hachiman such as how he admires her legs, how much he enjoys her [[SmellsSexy scent]] and how [[IceQueen cold]] she was when she touched him. [[spoiler: At the end it's revealed they only slept in the same bed and the closest they came to physical intimacy was holding hands]].

** Ivanova and Talia might have hooked up in Talia's last episode; the writers spent the whole episode ratcheting up the {{UST}}, the two definitely shared a bed that night, and Talia casually reached across the bed at one point in the middle of the night (only to find that Ivanova wasn't there any more). And Ivanova admitted in a later episode that she probably loved Talia. But with Talia's [[PutOnABus sudden departure]], it was never clearly resolved exactly how far things had gone.
** Also in ''Series/BabylonFive'', several of Sheridan and Delenn's off-screen encounters, particularly the 'problem solver' scene, fit into this category.

* In ''Series/BlakesSeven'' episode "Sand", Del Tarrant and Servalan are trapped by the monster of the week and apparently doomed. There is a heavy hint that they spent some time sweetening each other's final hour before stumbling upon a way of escape.

** [[spoiler: Giles and Joyce Summers]] are implied to have sex in "Band Candy". It is confirmed in "Earshot".
** In the final episode of Season 7, on the night before the big showdown with the First Evil, Buffy and Spike spend the night together in Spike's corner of the basement, and they are seen cuddling in bed. However, the scene echoes an episode not long before in which they were cuddling in bed and it was explicitly stated that nothing else happened, so it's never clear whether they had sex or not. When asked, Joss Whedon [[ShrugOfGod refused to confirm or deny]].

** For some time due to ExecutiveMeddling Willow and Tara's relationship could [[HideYourGays not be portrayed openly]], but it's implied that Willow and Tara shared either their FirstKiss or TheirFirstTime in "The I in Team". Buffy returns to her dorm the morning after she's slept with Riley for the first time, to find the dorm empty and the bed still made. Willow then enters, having spent the night "casting spells" with Tara. Willow is holding a crystal which she'd earlier rejected as a gift from Tara because it was a rare family heirloom, implying that she's now accepted it as a lover's token. The following episode has one of the more famous spellcasting = lesbian love conversations in reference to what happened the previous night.
** Faith got this a couple of times. When she tried to seduce Angel in "Enemies" Buffy fears they did do the deed, though it's later revealed in the ''Series/{{Angel}}'' spin-off that they didn't. Likewise in Season 7 there's a scene where Buffy catches Faith sharing a smoke with a shirtless Spike making audiences wonder if they slept together. This is {{Jossed}} in the comics when Faith gripes that she's meant to be a slut when everyone but her has slept with Spike.
** In "Him", Buffy, under a love spell, ends up making out with the student R.J. in an empty classroom and when Xander catch them, she's on top of him but they are both still dressed. Fans debate whether they were interrupted before the act or if [[RightThroughHisPants they were caught mid-coitus]].

* [[PlayedForLaughs Played for Laughs]] in the third season of ''Series/{{Primeval}}''. Connor is in love with Abby, and has lived with her for a while without them being a real couple. In one episode, Abby receives a visit from a handsome, well-trained young man who is dressed only with a towel over his waist. Connor wonders if Abby is in love with this man and they both had sex before. As it turns out, they clearly didn't have it. This man is Abby's younger brother. You can literally look at Connor's friends and relief when he learns how they both relate to each other.
* There's actually [[http://www.ksitetv.com/forums/showthread.php?86699-Did-Kara-Sleep-with-Lex&s=fd8caf9cf9ddfed7be27b37287d9fabb a whole forum]] debating whether [[Comicbook/{{Supergirl}} Kara]] slept with [[ComicBook/LexLuthor Lex]] on ''Series/{{Smallville}}''.
* In the ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' episode "First Contact", the authorities on Malcor III have Riker (who is disguised as a Malcorian) confined to his hospital room upon suspicion that he's an alien. A Malcorian nurse named Lanel offers to help him escape if he'll do the deed with her: "I've always wanted to make love with an alien," she says. The very next scene has Riker and Lanel creeping down a corridor, leading more than a few viewers to ask DTODT? (Well, he got out somehow!)
* ''Series/StarTrekVoyager''. The Emergency Medical Hologram boasts of having had sexual relations in "Message in a Bottle". Was it with Denara Pel in "Lifesigns", or the holodeck wife he created in "Real Life"? We never find out.

* ''LightNovel/AestheticaOfARogueHero:'' Episode ten pushes this trope to its limit. Myuu tries to [[Main/IntimateHealing share her body heat]] with a seemingly unconscious Akatsuki. He is apparently naked (though the shadows are specifically drawn in a way that he might still be wearing underwear). She strips down to her panties and presses herself against him. He then starts grabbing her butt, still appearing unconscious. His hand starts to pull her underwear aside, and then [[TheImmodestOrgasm she arches her back and cries out in pleasure]]. He thanks her and says now they are both cured. Did they actually do it, or did he just manipulate her energy again?
