* In line with its slightly raunchy sense of humor, in ''VideoGame/AllunaAndBrie'', after the first mermaid strikers match Alluna points out that mermaids have nipples and navels, meaning they give birth to live young. However, they don't have genitals or, more disturbingly to Brie, butts.

That isn't to say, of course, that mermaids are completely [[NonHumansLackAttributes lacking]] in sexual organs. Real fish, of course, have actual genitals. They just aren't compatible with those of a mammal, let alone easy to find or obvious to point out. A few biologists have a hard time even calling piscine reproductive organs "genitals" because they are so very different from what we humans would recognize. Most (though not all) fish reproduce externally, meaning that conception happens outside of the body. The female lays her eggs first, which are then fertilized by the male's free-floating sperm. A far cry from what we humans (and most other animals) would recognize as making sweet love.

This trope mainly deals with the variety where they don't gain human legs ''and'' have the standard fish equipment downstairs. It is equally applicable to mermen, since they'd lack a penis for all the same reasons. And despite most merfolk having perfectly functional, humanlike hands and mouths, don't expect the human/merfolk pair to explore ''other'' forms of sexual gratification beyond plain old penis-in-vagina. Sometimes this problem may be {{lampshade|Hanging}}d, but others no explanation is given. Compare NonMammalMammaries.
