History Main / RightThroughHisPants

* ''Film/{{Mermaids}}'': Charlotte finally gives in to her crush Joe, and the two have sex in a church bell tower, while keeping most of their clothing on.

* ''Film/EpicMovie'': At one point in the film, Peter gets seduced into having sex with the shapeshifter Mystique. He is then dragged into a tent where he's thrown down on the bed fully clothed. After some Shapeshifting requests from Peter ([[BreastExpansion bigger ass and breast size]], a [[BigOlUnibrow monobrow]], and a [[ChubbyChaser fat and flabby grandma body type)]], Peter pulls Mystique down as they start to make out and get it on. He's fully clothed the entire time they start getting it on, though it could be inferred he took off his clothes directly after the scene fades to black, while she shapeshifted the necessary assets in order to mate with him.

* ''Series/AlteredCarbon''

** In the episode "The City at the Edge of the World", Vila and a female mercenary named Kerril get trapped on a spaceship that (they think) [[LockedInAFreezer is running out of air]]. As the two [[PreClimaxClimax come to terms with their fate]] they embrace. When we see them next they are [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vila_after_7243.jpg fully clothed and lying a foot apart]] despite the dialogue making it very clear that they just had sex.
** One justified example is in "Ultraworld" when Dayna and Tarrant [[FakeOutMakeOut only pretend to have sex]], while actually priming a bomb to blast a hole in their cell's door. They'd need their clothes on to run fast afterward.

* General rule of thumb on ''Series/CriminalMinds'': If a "nude" victim is not shown on the crime scene photos only from the back and the waist up, it's going to still have her (or his) underwear on. Even when the offender is primarily motivated by rape. It's pretty obvious that we are supposed to pretend that the underwear is not there, because the profilers will never mention it unless there is other clothing, when ''it'' will be pointed to indicate that there was a re-dressing and therefore remorse on the part of the killer.

** A pretty ridiculous example can be found in "Fur and Loathing". A [[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom fursuiter's]] semen is found on the costume of a fellow fursuiter, which he deposited on there during a "furpile" at a convention. While this isn't ''that'' unusual (fursuit fetishists ''are'' out there, so this scenario is a bit more likely than one might think), what ''does'' make it unusual is that the fursuiter in question had his costume lined with ''latex'' (and with no opening to do the nasty with, as most fursuit fetishists have in their suit), so this is a literal case.

** In the episode "Annihilated", Elliot removes his jacket and shirt before climbing into bed with Kathy, but not his pants.
** In a later episode Elliot is seen stripping to a pair of form-fitting bikini briefs before climbing into bed with pajama-clad Kathy.
* The American version of ''Series/{{Life On Mars|2008}}'' had a particularly baffling instance of the magic bra. A HookerWithAHeartOfGold seduces the protagonist by taking her bra off in front of him ([[ToplessnessFromTheBack with her back to the camera]]) and jumping into his bed. In the following sex scene, she's enthusiastically bouncing away on top of him... with her bra put back on to keep things US-TV-safe.
** This is a nearly shot-for-shot remake of a sequence from the original British series, but in that version she remains topless for the sex scene (as is permitted by post-watershed UK broadcast standards.)
* ''Series/TheProfessionals''. In "A Hiding To Nothing", Doyle is woken by burglars and puts on his jeans after getting out of bed, though anything below the waist is kept carefully offscreen until he's put them on. The woman has a ModestyBedsheet but she's clearly naked underneath.

* On ''Series/TheRiches'' [[spoiler:Didi and her boyfriend]] use the Magic Knickers and bra/Boxers version despite just having had sex.
* Grace on ''Series/SavingGrace'' leaves her panties on even when they guy pulls down his underpants (if the guy was even wearing any). (Except the Season 1 finale where she's handcuffed to the bed naked all night, with full rear view.)

** ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' had a scene in which Weyoun comes in on a sleeping Damar, still dressed in full armor, with a woman's dress lying abandoned at the foot of the bed, implying that Damar managed this trope with actual armor.
** ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'': "Dark Frontier". Whilst plotting the invasion of Earth, the Borg Queen brings up a holographic image of a human male wearing nothing but briefs. Given all the BodyHorror normally associated with the Borg, this sudden show of modesty comes off as rather baffling. Some viewers speculate that he passed out drunk before any undressing - or sex - could occur.
* In the ''Series/StargateSG1'' Season 1 episode "Hathor", the titular Goa'uld uses [[AliensMadeThemDoIt alien mind control to procure "the code of life"]] from Daniel Jackson. The rest of the team finds him sitting on the bed, completely unresponsive, implicitly still under Hathor's mind control--and fully dressed.

** In series two episode of Gwen has just had sex with her hubby Rhys and somehow managed to get her knickers back on before falling asleep (face down -- she appears not be wearing anything else).

* ''Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena'' uses this trope less to downplay {{Fanservice}} (as it's [[MsFanservice not shy with]] [[MrFanservice either gender]]) and more to illustrate certain characters' power dynamics. Specifically, while several male characters get a ShirtlessScene, it's telling whose shirt merely opens versus whose shirt comes off completely. [[TheCasanova Touga]], for starters, loses his shirt completely when doing tertiary seduction (often with a convenient pretext) but merely unbuttons it during sex. [[spoiler: And for all the times [[TheVamp Akio]]'s shirt flies open, it never even leaves his shoulders. Contrast this with Anthy, his most frequent "[[UnholyMatrimony partner]]" (read: [[RapeAsDrama victim]]), who's ''always'' nude for the event and [[MoreThanMindControl is definitely]] [[ColdBloodedTorture not enjoying the act]]]].

* In the German novel ''Gottes Bodenpersonal - eine unwahrscheinliche Liebesgeschichte'', one of the main characters always does it with clothes on. First, because they work as a prostitute, on the streets, and then [[spoiler: it becomes apparent that he can't see naked men without being reminded of the prostitution, and doesn't want to be seen naked himself, so he and his partner keep their pants on]].

* ''Series/BatesMotel'' when [[spoiler: Norman]] walks in on [[spoiler: Keith Summers]] raping [[spoiler: Norma]], he knocks him out. [[spoiler: Summers]] collapses with his jeans around his ankles, but his boxer briefs pulled up.

* On ''Series/TheRiches'' [[spoiler: Didi and her boyfriend]] use the Magic Knickers and bra/Boxers version despite just having had sex.

** In series two episode of Gwen has just had sex with her hubby Rhys and somehow managed to get her knickers back on before falling asleep (face down -- she appears not be wearing anything else)]].

* In ''VideoGame/{{Catherine}}'', whenever Vincent wakes up next to a naked Catherine, his boxers (which he normally sleeps in) are still on. [[spoiler: This could also count as Foreshadowing, since Catherine is a succubus who's InvisibleToNormals, and it's likely that their sexual encounters were all an illusion. No wonder Vincent didn't need to take off his pants since he didn't actually do anything untoward with Catherine]].

* ''Film/EpicMovie'': At one point in the film, Peter gets seduced into having sex with the shapeshifter Mystique. He is then dragged into a tent where he's thrown down on the bed fully clothed. After some Shapeshifting requests from Peter a ([[BreastExpansion bigger ass and breast size]], a [[BigOlUnibrow monobrow]], and a [[ChubbyChaser fat and flabby grandma body type)]], Peter pulls Mystique down as they start to make out and get it on. He's fully clothed the entire time they start getting it on, though it could be inferred he took off his clothes directly after the scene fades to black, while she shapeshifted the necessary assets in order to mate with him.

* ''Series/AlteredCarbon'' has a realistic version; the [[ShowerOfLove sex takes place in the shower]], with the two lovers shown afterwards sitting on the bed in their underwear as if they just got dressed in the bare minimum.

* ''Series/AlteredCarbon'' has a realistic version; the [ShowerOfLove sex takes place in the shower]], with the two lovers shown afterwards sitting on the bed in their underwear as if they just got dressed in the bare minimum.

* Ayace of ''LightNovel/{{Corsair}}'' only seems to lose the pants on special occasions.

** Inverted in season 6, with Buffy nearly or fully clothed (or invisible) while Spike is given, in Creator/JamesMarsters' words, "a sock". Then again a lot of these episodes [[FemaleGaze had a female director]] who openly acknowledged her appreciation for Naked!Spike.

** Averted, on the other hand, in ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'', complete with [[LampshadeHanging lampshading]] ("What kind of man expects just the woman to take off her clothes?!")

* ''Literature/TheCiderHouseRules'': In the film version, Wilbur and Candy's first encounter in the woods. Including winter coats. Averted later when they're both (apparently) nude in bed.

* Averted in ''Film/{{Eurotrip}}'', after Creator/MichelleTrachtenberg's character nearly removes her bikini on the nude beach, her brother accidentally draws the attention of every guy on the beach (which is filled entirely with guys, btw). Cue a couple of ''hundred'' naked guys, wangs hanging low, chasing the main characters down the beach shouting "Girl!" repeatedly. As one of the main characters said, "I've never seen so much sausage. It's like the International House of Sausage."

* Averted in ''Film/IAmCuriousYellow'', where the objective is to show people as realistic and non-glamorous. Borje is completely naked when the situation requires it.

* Averted in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', by Creator/HughJackman's request. However, only his back was visible.
-->"I land back in 1973--this is what the script says--I wake up next to a girl who I don't remember, and I get out of bed wearing boxer shorts. I was like, 'I don't know about America but in Australia, if you're next to a really good-looking girl, you're not getting out with boxer shorts on or briefs or anything.' So yeah, I went commando."

* Averted in ''Literature/ABrothersPrice'': Men tend to wear kilts and robes, trousers are only one option among many. Both sexes wear nightshirts. [[spoiler: Which is why when Ren and Jerin do ... something that lets him stay a technical virgin they're both wearing shirts. As they do it on the kitchen floor in the middle of the night, doing it with clothes on is justified]].

* Averted in a season 1 episode of ''Series/{{Haven}}''; when [[MrFanservice Duke]] rolls out of bed the morning after hooking up with [[spoiler:a woman who turns out to be the [[MonsterOfTheWeek Monster of the Week]]]], he's clearly naked.

** Averted in the [[VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition third game]], where characters are nude in their pre-sex/after-sex cutscenes. Female characters are generally very visibly naked (especially the chest), while the male characters have discretion shots, and one bum-shot with [[GayOption Dorian]].

** Averted and inverted in ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV'' at least twice, in that the male characters having sex have their pants down, but the female characters appear fully clothed.

** Averted in the first game, which brought down the MoralGuardians (even Jack Thompson called the criticism silly), which probably led to its use in the later entries and the ''Franchise/DragonAge'' games.

* ''VideoGame/NeverwinterNights'' wasn't actually programmed to include sex scenes but the fandom came up with the [[FanServicePack Romantic Animations Suite]] to avert this trope, rendering naughty bits in [[UncannyValley all their horrifying glory]].

* Averted in ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'', when [[spoiler:Angus and Faye]] have sex. He goes out of the room only wearing a hot pink condom (which the viewer is spared from seeing via a frame break, Marten isn't so lucky). Also averted when Sven has sex with a random singer chick. His hands are the only thing covering her breasts, and it's only the angle that keeps us from seeing all of him.

** The second game mostly avoids it through SexyDiscretionShot, but the Renegade sex scene with Jack plays it straight. If you choose it, she and Shepard have some rather violent foreplay which ends when she pins him down on a table, mounts him, and then throws her head back as if in the throes of passion. Trouble is, neither party has even begun to take anything off yet. The Paragon conclusion to her romance uses sex-scene shots with an equal degree of failing to take anything off, although since GoodPeopleHaveGoodSex it's a lot less aggressive.

* A pretty ridiculous example of this can be found in the ''Series/{{CSI}}'' episode "Fur and Loathing"; a [[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom fursuiter's]] semen is found on the costume of a fellow fursuiter, which he deposited on there during a "furpile" at a convention. While this isn't ''that'' unusual (fursuit fetishists ''are'' out there, so this scenario is a bit more likely than one might think), what ''does'' make it unusual is that the fursuiter in question had his costume lined with ''latex'' (and with no opening to do the nasty with, as most fursuit fetishists have in their suit), so this is a literal case.

* In ''Film/TakingLives'', there's a sex scene between Creator/AngelinaJolie and Ethan Hawke. Jolie wears only an open robe; Hawke keeps his suit on.

* Very strangely invoked in ''Manga/AyakashiTriangle'': [[GRatedSex A very suggestive scene]] has Suzu pull Matsuri's shirt open to put LifeEnergy into him, remaining fully clothed herself. It not only codes Suzu as sexual dominate, but frames her actions as if she was a man penetrating Matsuri.

* In a scene in the book ''Literature/{{Creation}}'' by Creator/GoreVidal, one character, a Persian, has it explained to him that while his people have sex wearing their clothes (exposing only their genitals enough to fit them together), Babylonians strip naked, and in order to participate in a particular Babylonian sex-ritual he will have to strip. It matters because [[BedTrick the character is wearing a disguise]].

->"Hey, what's this? Only the ''women'' get naked?! That's bullshit!"

* ''Series/TheFlightAttendent'' sees Creator/KaleyCuoco having a lot of sex, but she never once removes her bra and is seen, post-coitally, still wearing her knickers. A definite case of Magical Underwear here.

[[folder:Web Original]]
* This is the point of the CMNF (Clothed Male, Naked Female) genre in porn; a male staying clothed while having sex with a naked female is supposed to be an act of dominance and a fetish. It is gender-inverted with CFNM (Clothed Female, Naked Male) porn and given a gay option with CFNF and CMNM porn.
[[/folder]]

* Even followed with ''YaoiGuys'' where the {{Uke}} often ends up completely naked whilst the {{Seme}} usually keeps his clothes on.

* The comic of ''The Big Fat Kill'' briefly features Dwight nude in the opening scene in Shelley's apartment. This is absent in the movie.

* In the short film "The Evil Clergyman," Jonathan and Said get it on with him very obviously keeping his pants on.

[[folder:Real Life]]
* Most pants and boxers have frontal openings at the right height, and which open easily enough. They're made for peeing but come in handy if you're in a hurry... Male bikini briefs are also quite convenient in this regard. As heavily implied in several examples on this page, this is best performed with button-fly pants. Nothing kills the mood like [[GroinAttack zipper abrasion]].
* The [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemise_cagoule chemise cagoule]], a nightshirt with a fly worn in order to have sex without seeing the partner naked.
* In the actual filming of sex scenes in movies, this trope happens. As [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XS7-bt3gTqw this]] ''Website/{{Cracked}}'' video explains, the crews go to great lengths to minimize the time either actor has to be naked. Meaning that during close-ups on the actors' faces or any time the section of their body below their waist is going to be off-camera, the actors are likely going to both be wearing pants, or flesh-colored underwear. And in wide shots, you'll get body doubles.
[[/folder]]

* Averted in ''I Am Curious (Yellow)'', where the objective is to show people as realistic and non-glamorous. Borje is completely naked when the situation requires it.

* Even followed with YaoiGuys where the {{Uke}} often ends up completely naked whilst the {{Seme}} usually keeps his clothes on.

-->-- '''Penn Jillette''', ''Series/PennAndTellerBullshit,'' "Yoga & Tantric Sex"

** The sex scenes in ''VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}}'' are much like this, as Shiki is only completely naked in one such scene (more often shirtless, or simply "unzipped"). Strangely, it's also very briefly ''inverted''; [[spoiler:somehow, [[{{Meido}} Kohaku]] manages sex while wearing a full-length ''kimono''... the first time, at least, though this might be because she has [[RapeAsBackstory far more experience than she wants or needs]]. This trope is in full effect afterwards.]]

* Even followed with YaoiGuys where the {{Uke}} often ends up completely naked whilst the {{Seme}} usually keeps his clothes on.
* Sebastian Michaelis of ''Manga/BlackButler'' seems to only take his clothes off in FanFiction. When the manga has him screwing information out of [[MsFanservice Beast]], who barely wears anything anyway, he simply takes off his coat. (And, at some point in the process, his gloves--Ciel comments the next day on the unusual phenomenon of being able to see Sebastian's (black) fingernails.) In the anime, he doesn't even bother with that much, with a completely nude nun. Even in the infamous [[OfCorsetsSexy corset scene]] he is fully clothed. Averted in the anime version of the Circus Arc, though, where Sebastian ''does'' go fully-nude when seducing Beast.

* Ayace of ''LightNovel/{{Corsair}}'' only seems to lose the pants on special occasions.

* In ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'', when [[spoiler:Griffith/Femto]] rapes [[spoiler:Casca]] he appears to do this through his armor. However, since he is a demon it is likely that the "armor" is actually his skin, and he is completely naked, but then that raises the question of why no genitals are visible on him even when he is clearly facing the reader. Considering the level of shape-shifting power apostles seem to have, a retractable penis isn't that much of a stretch of the imagination, but most Apostles seem to love flaunting their BodyHorror and inhuman sexuality as much as possible and wouldn't bother to "retract" even if they could. This example notwithstanding, the series as a whole averts this trope. Penises are frequently shown during sex or rape scenes (which there are an awful lot of), whether they belong to humans, trolls or demon-possessed horses (seriously).
* ''Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena'' uses this trope less to downplay {{Fanservice}} (as it's [[MsFanservice not shy with]] [[MrFanservice either gender]]) and more to illustrate certain characters' power dynamics. Specifically, while several male characters get a ShirtlessScene, it's telling whose shirt merely opens versus whose shirt comes off completely. [[TheCasanova Touga]], for starters, loses his shirt completely when doing tertiary seduction (often with a convenient pretext) but merely unbuttons it during sex. [[spoiler: And for all the times [[TheVamp Akio]]'s shirt flies open, it never even leaves his shoulders. Contrast this with Anthy, his most frequent "[[UnholyMatrimony partner]]" (read: [[RapeAsDrama victim]]), who's ''always'' nude for the event and [[MoreThanMindControl is definitely]] [[ColdBloodedTorture not enjoying the act]].]]
* Very strangely invoked in ''Manga/AyakashiTriangle'': [[GRatedSex A very suggestive scene]] has Suzu pull Matsuri's shirt open to put LifeEnergy into him, remaining fully clothed herself. It not only codes Suzu as sexual dominate, but frames her actions as if she was a man penetrating Matsuri.

* A bit from Creator/RonWhite is that he gets by as an ugly person by wearing a suit ([[SelfDeprecation "You could make a pile of shit look good if you drape an expensive suit over it."]]) and goes on to joke that his wife makes him wear the suit when they have sex.

* A non-sexual example in ''Franchise/GreenLantern'' - Kyle Rayner is having something of a BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind and is nude save for his underwear. Though the man he's fighting ([[spoiler:Nero]]) is actually fully clothed.
* ''ComicBook/{{Deadpool}}'' does this with his future baby mama, Carmelita. They're captured by the bad guys and locked in a game-room together. Carmelita thinks she's going to be killed, so wants to spend what may be her last moments having sex. So, she and Deadpool go at it. She's completely naked in all its glory. But Deadpool is still wearing his suit. When Luke Cage frees them & drags Deadpool off to fight the baddies, the latter is just seen buttoning his pants.
* In ''[[ComicBook/TheMask The Mask Returns]]'', Kathy attempts to trick the current wearer to take the mask off by acting like a prostitute. As the act draws near, the clothes come off, and she inquires if he's not "going to take that off" (referring to the mask). He looks bewildered as though he can't possibly have forgotten something - however, save for the mask, he '''is''' also still wearing a pair of [[GoofyPrintUnderwear boxer shorts.]]
* Female variant: Issue 30 of ''ComicBook/AllNewXMen'' doesn't explicitly ''say'' what happened between ComicBook/{{X 23}} and the time-displaced teenaged Angel, however, the issue opens on Laura waking up in one of the Worthington Family's private retreats with the room in disarray and clothing scattered across the floor. However Laura is still wearing her underwear, so [[DidTheyOrDidntThey if they did]], either she got at least partially dressed again, or she left them on during the act.

* The absolute pinnacle of this trope can be seen in the 1981 movie ''Film/{{Excalibur}}'', where Uther Pendragon has a sex scene in ''full plate armor''. At least he removes the codpiece...
* Another extreme example can be seen in the French Canadian made-for-TV movie ''[[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112961/ L'enfant D'eau]]'' (1995) in which, probably because the man was portrayed as mentally incapacitated and the girl as severely underage, ''both'' were fully clothed (except for his [[ShirtlessScene not having a shirt]]) for a "sexual encounter" which viewers and critics were given every reason to believe actually consisted of nothing more than her grinding herself on him a little bit.

* The movie ''Film/SeaOfLove'' is a good example - Ellen Barkin is completely naked, Al Pacino never seems to remove an item of clothing more substantial than his tie.

* Inverted in ''Film/TwentyEightDaysLater'', in which we are treated to plenty of naked Creator/CillianMurphy but the lead female keeps her bra on the whole time, and, in fact, requests that the soldiers leave the room so she can change her clothes in private (there was an ulterior motive for this).

* In ''Film/TakingLives'', there's a sex scene between Creator/AngelinaJolie and Ethan Hawke. Jolie wears only an open robe; Hawke keeps his suit on.
* Two of the very few images not taken frame-for-frame in the movie adaptation of Creator/FrankMiller's ''Comicbook/SinCity'': Creator/BruceWillis as Hartigan is not stripped entirely naked as he's hung at the mercy of That Yellow Bastard, and That Yellow Bastard himself also keeps his Y-Fronts on in the scene where he's working on Nancy. Having said this, Nancy the stripper's breasts are kept conspicuously covered in the film as opposed to the original source material.
* The comic of ''The Big Fat Kill'' briefly features Dwight nude in the opening scene in Shelley's apartment. This is absent in the movie.

* ''Film/BlackScorpion'' (The Roger Corman "superhero" movie) features a scene where the heroine knocks a man in a business suit onto the bed. She takes off her costume (except for her mask and gloves) and the two have sex, while the man is still fully dressed. In the morning she is gone, and he wakes up in tighty-whitey briefs.
* ''Film/TheOtherBoleynGirl'' inverts this, in that the only person to show any skin is Creator/EricBana. But it plays it somewhat straight during a rape - both characters keep most of their clothes on.
* ''Film/InTheRealmOfTheSenses'' inverts this, with the female protagonist fully clothed while her male partner is totally naked.
* A couple at the beginning of ''[[Film/TheAnthropophagusBeast Anthropophagous 2000]]'' have sex with their shorts on.

* Averted in ''IAmCurious (Yellow)'', where the objective is to show people as realistic and non-glamorous. Borje is completely naked when the situation requires it.
* Averted in ''Film/{{Eurotrip}}'', after Creator/MichelleTrachtenberg's character nearly removes her bikini on the nude beach, her brother accidentally draws the attention of every guy on the beach (which is filled entirely with guys, btw). Cue a couple of ''hundred'' naked guys, wangs hanging low, chasing the main characters down the beach shouting "Girl!" repeatedly. As one of the main characters said, "I've never seen so much sausage. It's like the International House of Sausage."

* ''Literature/TheCiderHouseRules'': In the film version, Wilbur and Candy's first encounter in the woods. Including winter coats. Averted later when they're both (apparently) nude in bed.
* ''Film/KnockKnock2015'': When Evan manages to get free and knock Bel off him, he's completely covered by his underpants.
* In the short film "The Evil Clergyman," Jonathan and Said get it on with him very obviously keeping his pants on.
* Played with in ''Film/CrimsonPeak''. While having sex, ''Edith'' is the one who keeps most of her clothes on, although she is wearing skirts, which makes for easy access. Thomas keeps his pants on, but they're pushed down around his thighs.
* ''Film/RedSparrow'': The first time they have sex, neither Dominika nor Nash even take off their underwear, yet manage it somehow even so.
* Played ridiculously straight in ''Film/TheUglyTruth''. Abby and Mike have [[TheirFirstTime finally consummated their relationship]]. Two seconds after her [[TheImmodestOrgasm Immodest Orgasm]], Creator/KatherineHeigl's character is still wearing a bra.
* In the Creator/BruceWillis vehicle ''Film/StrikingDistance'', Parker and Willis begin to make out. Parker is wearing a backless dress and it's clear that she has no bra on. However, once she removes the dress, a bra magically appears.
* In ''Film/LockjawRiseOfTheKulevSerpent'', Ashley and Clayton are having passionate sex when [[OutWithABang Clay is killed by the serpent]] and yanked off her, Ashley jumps out of bed still clad in her hot pink bra and panties.
* ''Film/{{Mermaids}}'': Charlotte finally gives in to her crush Joe, and the two have sex in a church bell tower, while keeping most of their clothing on.
* ''Film/BackstreetDreams'': Lucy wears a bra while having sex with Paco.
* ''Film/EpicMovie'': At one point in the film, Peter gets seduced into having sex with the shapeshifter Mystique. He is then dragged into a tent where he's thrown down on the bed fully clothed. After some Shapeshifting requests from Peter ([[BreastExpansion A bigger ass and breast size,]] [[BigOlUnibrow a monobrow,]] and [[ChubbyChaser a fat and flabby grandma body type)]], Peter pulls Mystique down as they start to make out and get it on. He's fully clothed the entire time they start getting it on, though it could be inferred he took off his clothes directly after the scene fades to black, while she shapeshifted the necessary assets in order to mate with him.
* Defied in ''Film/{{Species}}''. When the protagonists are concerned the gorgeous alien genetic abomination who wants to propagate her species found a man to take her home:
-->'''Finch''': And now she's managed to mate.\\
'''Preston''': Doesn't exactly look like a successful mating to me. He's still got his pants on.[[note]]Indeed, Sil sensed the man was an unfavorable mate and refused, [[AssholeVictim he refused to take no for an answer]], [[BullyingADragon and she educated him in matters of consent]].[[/note]]
* ''Film/TheGoonies'': When JerkJock and SpoiledBrat Troy is sitting on a toilet at the country club at which the plumbing is going nuts due to the Goonies' shenanigans, he has taken his shorts down but is visibly still wearing underpants.

* Averted in ''Literature/ABrothersPrice'': Men tend to wear kilts and robes, trousers are only one option among many. Both sexes wear nightshirts. [[spoiler: Which is why when Ren and Jerin do ... something that lets him stay a technical virgin they're both wearing shirts. As they do it on the kitchen floor in the middle of the night, doing it with clothes on is justified.]]
* In a scene in the book ''Literature/{{Creation}}'' by Creator/GoreVidal, one character, a Persian, has it explained to him that while his people have sex wearing their clothes (exposing only their genitals enough to fit them together), Babylonians strip naked, and in order to participate in a particular Babylonian sex-ritual he will have to strip. It matters because [[BedTrick the character is wearing a disguise.]]

* In the German novel ''Gottes Bodenpersonal - eine unwahrscheinliche Liebesgeschichte'', one of the main characters always does it with clothes on. First, because they work as a prostitute, on the streets, and then [[spoiler: it becomes apparent that he can't see naked men without being reminded of the prostitution, and doesn't want to be seen naked himself, so he and his partner keep their pants on.]]

* ''Series/LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnit'':
** In the episode "Annihilated", Elliot removes his jacket and shirt before climbing into bed with Kathy, but not his pants.
** In a later episode Elliot is seen stripping to a pair of form-fitting bikini briefs before climbing into bed with pajama-clad Kathy.

* In ''Series/{{Weeds}}'', Nancy's panties and bra stay put when having sex with the Hispanic drug dealer in season one and later when Nancy has sex with [[spoiler:Conrad]].
* This popped up a few times in ''Series/SexAndTheCity'' when the actress in the scene refused to get undressed for the camera.
* Grace on ''Series/SavingGrace'' leaves her panties on even when they guy pulls down his underpants (if the guy was even wearing any). (Except the Season 1 finale where she's handcuffed to the bed naked all night, with full rear view.)
* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'':
** Inverted in season 6, with Buffy nearly or fully clothed (or invisible) while Spike is given, in Creator/JamesMarsters' words, "a sock". Then again a lot of these episodes [[FemaleGaze had a female director]] who openly acknowledged her appreciation for Naked!Spike.
** Buffy and Spike's first time together in "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS6E9Smashed Smashed]]" is probably the best example. In the scene, Buffy is wearing a long skirt and while there's definitely the sound of a zipper being unzipped, Buffy doesn't even pretend to hike up her skirt. There's even a long shot where the skirt is still clearly pulled down, yet Spike is thrusting and she's moaning. In this case, it's more like "right through her skirt."
** Done to especially weird effect in their exhibitionist scene on the top level of the Bronze, where both are not only nearly fully clothed, but standing on their own two feet, in a way that (given the height difference between them) would make sex pretty difficult. As Website/TelevisionWithoutPity put it, "And then they got it on in some kind of anatomically impossible way. Is [[spoiler:Spike]] walking around the Bronze with his pants around his ankles, or what?" Many viewers assumed he was doing stuff with his hands, though this is apparently not the intention.
* Occurs twice in an episode of ''Series/{{Angel}}''. Spike has been recorporealized and immediately runs off for a nooner with Harmony. Right through his pants. Later, a flashback shows that Angel and Spike had a [[IHateYouVampireDad complicated relationship as vampires]]. The real deal-breaker was when Angelus screwed Drusilla. Right through his pants.
* This isn't always reserved for the guys. In the old ''Film/SoulFood'' series, the women always kept on their undergarments while the men were nude, apparently thrusting right through the panties.
* ''Series/BatesMotel'' when [[spoiler: Norman]] walks in on [[spoiler: Keith Summers]] raping [[spoiler: Norma]], he knocks him out. [[spoiler: Summers]] collapses with his jeans around his ankles, but his boxer briefs pulled up.
* Used on guys and girls in the ''Series/TheSecretLifeOfTheAmericanTeenager''. The ModestyBedsheet is frequently discarded to reveal that the characters who just had sex are mostly clothed (which makes one wonder why they bother with the sheet in the first place). The guys will be shirtless and in pants or boxers (and on a few occasions, JEANS) and the girls will be in their bras and panties or short shorts.
* ''Series/{{Torchwood}}'':
** In "[[Recap/TorchwoodS1E2DayOne Day One]]". Right through his pants and her skirt, then he turns into a pile of dust.
** In series two episode of Gwen has just had sex with her hubby Rhys and somehow managed to get her knickers back on before falling asleep (face down -- she appears not be wearing anything else)]]
* Inverted in the Lifetime Miniseries ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maneater_(2009_miniseries) Maneater]]'' when Clarissa doesn't want to take off her wedding dress, so her new husband decides that they'll just work around it.
* In ''Series/RescueMe'', every single sex scene so far plays this trope straight.
* ''Series/GossipGirl'':
** Chuck Bass, [[DepravedBisexual of all people]], is shown waking up after a one night stand wearing ''pajamas''. As in he brought the girl home, got undressed, skipped into his jammies and then slept with her. The reason for this is probably that the actor is way too tattoo-happy while the character isn't the type to get tattooed (Chuck is the only male main character who hasn't appeared topless).
** In season four, one episode shows Chuck and Blair panting heavily after ''just'' finishing having sex... and they are both fully clothed sitting next to each other in his limo.
* ''Series/BlakesSeven'':
** In the episode "The City at the Edge of the World", Vila and a female mercenary named Kerril get trapped on a spaceship that (they think) [[LockedInAFreezer is running out of air]]. As the two [[PreClimaxClimax come to terms with their fate]] they embrace. When we see them next they are [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vila_after_7243.jpg fully clothed and lying a foot apart]] despite the dialogue making it very clear that they just had sex.
** One justified example is in "Ultraworld" when Dayna and Tarrant [[FakeOutMakeOut only pretend to have sex]], while actually priming a bomb to blast a hole in their cell's door. They'd need their clothes on to run fast afterward.
* The ''Series/VeronicaMars'' episode "Kanes and Abel's" has an ImagineSpot like this -- Veronica is imagining Jake Kane murdering Lilly after catching her ''in flagrante'' with Weevil, and when he pulls the two of them apart they're both wearing pants. Of course, this is {{justified|Trope}} by the fact that it ''is'' an ImagineSpot, and Veronica probably doesn't naturally imagine her friends naked...

* Happens quite a bit in ''Series/TheTudors'', which is especially ridiculous given the GorgeousPeriodDress most of the characters wear.
* Averted in a season 1 episode of ''Series/{{Haven}}''; when [[MrFanservice Duke]] rolls out of bed the morning after hooking up with [[spoiler:a woman who turns out to be the [[MonsterOfTheWeek Monster of the Week]],]] he's clearly naked.
* {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d in the {{pilot}} of ''Series/{{Dig}}'', where a woman asks if they'll ever so this with their clothes off.
* Often invoked by ''Series/BigBrother'' and other similar series where contestants engage in actual intercourse. While some participants - especially in the European versions - couldn't care less if every aspect of love-making is captured on camera, others who might be more modest, or wanting to be more discreet, are often seen having sex while still wearing underwear including bottoms; this applies to both men and women. Often combined with ModestyBedsheet.
* In the ''Series/StargateSG1'' Season 1 episode "Hathor," the titular Goa'uld uses [[AliensMadeThemDoIt alien mind control to procure "the code of life"]] from Daniel Jackson. The rest of the team finds him sitting on the bed, completely unresponsive, implicitly still under Hathor's mind control--and fully dressed.
* General rule of thumb on ''Series/CriminalMinds'': If a "nude" victim is not shown on the crime scene photos only from the back and the waist up, it's going to still have her (or his) underwear on. Even when the offender is primarily motivated by rape. It's pretty obvious that we are supposed to pretend that the underwear is not there, because the profilers will never mention it unless there is other clothing, when ''it'' will be pointed to indicate that there was a re-dressing and therefore remorse on the part of the killer.
* ''Franchise/StarTrek'':
** ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' had a scene in which Weyoun comes in on a sleeping Damar, still dressed in full armor, with a woman's dress lying abandoned at the foot of the bed, implying that Damar managed this trope with actual armor.
** ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'': "Dark Frontier". Whilst plotting the invasion of Earth, the Borg Queen brings up a holographic image of a human male wearing nothing but briefs. Given all the BodyHorror normally associated with the Borg, this sudden show of modesty comes off as rather baffling. Some viewers speculate that he passed out drunk before any undressing - or sex - could occur.
* ''Series/TheHandmaidsTale'': The Commander keeps his pants on during the Ceremony, and Offred only pulls up her dress. This serves to underscore that the process completely lacks intimacy. [[spoiler:When Serena Joy orders Offred to have sex with Nick in "Faithful", he also keeps his clothes on. But when Offred and Nick make love on their own, they both undress. Same goes for Serena Joy and the Commander in "A Woman's Place."]]
* On ''Series/TheRiches'' [[spoiler: Didi and her boyfriend]] use the Magic Knickers and bra/Boxers version despite just having had sex.

* ''Series/{{House}}'':
** A patient and his girlfriend start off one episode with a bang while still mostly dressed.
** House himself also engages in this, having sex with [[spoiler:Lydia]] in the Season 6 episode ''Broken'' while both of them are fully clothed.
* In ''Series/BroadCity'', the protagonists usually wear bras during sex scenes, and when Abbi has sex with Jeremy, both of them wear underwear.

* In the musical of ''Theatre/SpringAwakening'', Wendla is disrobed down to her shift, while Melchior apparently only has to push down his pants to get it on, giving the audience a very nice view of his fine, masculine and [[SexyDiscretionShot time for intermission]]!
* ''Theatre/TheLightInThePiazza'' has an almost-identical scene to the one listed above.

* Taken to the extreme in ''VideoGame/TheSims'' - the Sims not only emerge from having sex still wearing underwear, but they also use the toilet through their pants. In the first game, they were naked when they got out of the "love bed". Considering that the original was a lot more G-rated overall -- Sim-sex was entirely optional (and only even possible in a specific bed, or changing booths,) and babies spawned out of nowhere after the couple did a lot of romantic interactions (in other words, babies came from kissing), whereas the sequel has pregnancy and Sims that actively desire "[=WooHoo=]", including a whole ''aspiration'' for that -- the change is puzzling.
* While obviously possible to do in-game, [[http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Hallgerd%27s_Tale a book in]] ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'' tells of a great warrior who did it ''through heavy armor''. This would be a real master-skill perk but is trumped by it being implied that he was ''better'' at it in heavy armor than out.
* ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAuto'':
** Both played straight and inverted in ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIV: Episodes From Liberty City''. [[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIVTheBalladOfGayTony Luis]] has sex several times onscreen, but he's always fully clothed. However, [[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIVTheLostAndDamned the only full-frontal nudity in the game]] is male.
** The infamous "hot coffee" mini-games in ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoSanAndreas'' has Carl keeping his pants on while the women he beds are usually nude.
** Averted and inverted in ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV'' at least twice, in that the male characters having sex have their pants down, but the female characters appear fully clothed.

* ''VideoGame/NeverwinterNights'' wasn't actually programmed to include sex scenes but the fandom came up with the [[FanServicePack Romantic Animations Suite]] to avert this trope, rendering naughty bits in [[UncannyValley all their horrifying glory]].
* ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3SnakeEater'' ends with [[spoiler:EVA and Snake spending a passionate night together. When Snake wakes up the next morning, his shirt is gone but he's still wearing trousers]].
* A scene in ''VideoGame/{{Xenogears}}'' shows Ramsus and Miang sharing a bed. Miang is apparently naked (or at the very least topless), but when Ramsus gets out of bed, he's wearing black briefs. This is quite noticeable because most of the time the game has no issues with showing male characters nude.
* The FMV horror game ''VideoGame/{{Phantasmagoria}}'' has a rape scene, but both characters are clothed, so the scene looks more like violent dry humping, really.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Catherine}}'', whenever Vincent wakes up next to a naked Catherine, his boxers (which he normally sleeps in) are still on. [[spoiler: This could also count as Foreshadowing, since Catherine is a succubus who's InvisibleToNormals, and it's likely that their sexual encounters were all an illusion. No wonder Vincent didn't need to take off his pants since he didn't actually do anything untoward with Catherine.]]

* Neither male nor female characters in the execrable ''[[VideoGame/RideToHellRetribution Ride to Hell: Retribution]]'' take off their clothes for the [[FetishRetardant extremely awkward sex scenes.]] In the game files, it's discovered that there WERE nude models, but they were unused (likely to keep the game from getting an AO rating).
* At the end ''[[VideoGame/FirstEncounterAssaultRecon F.E.A.R. 2]]'' we get a [[spoiler:rape scene between a naked Alma and a fully clothed and armored Becket.]] Given the MindScrew nature of the act, perhaps we should not find it weird for this specific case, but you never know.
* In ''VideoGame/AlphaProtocol'' SIE finds the player character strapped to a hospital bed and [[DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale decides she just can't pass the opportunity up to show him her feelings]]. Her underwear never comes off and neither do his pants. And yet...

* Cloud and Tifa are both fully clothed after their [[SexyDiscretionShot heavily implied]] sexual encounter in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII''. Apparently there was a lot of worry about it being too graphic, with the scene originally scripted - which would have had them SexDressed, if only [[InformedAttribute in text]] - getting rejected for being too racy.
* Early on in ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedBrotherhood'', Ezio has sex with Caterina Sforza. While his nudity is covered by camera angles, hers is covered by her underwear. In the morning we can see she's actually naked, but both of them display the ability to get dressed in about 3 seconds when they have to rush out of bed.
* ''VideoGame/HouseParty2017'': Several sexual encounters allow the player character to keep his clothes on and just take out his penis while the girl is at least mostly naked. This is averted with some encounters, like Katherine, who insists the player get fully naked.
* ''VideoGame/HelloNeighbor'': Non sex example. In the pre-alpha, one of the activities the Neighbor could be seen doing while not chasing the player was taking a bath...with his clothes on. Specifically, he could be found in the bathroom sitting in the bathtub scrubbing his back with a brush with his clothes still on. If that wasn't weird enough, the bathtub was empty of water. It's as hilarious as it sounds.

%%* ''Webcomic/{{Multiplex}}'': [[http://www.multiplexcomic.com/strip/480 this strip.]]

* There's an animated version of ''Literature/TheCanterburyTales'' which features a knight who not only manages to rape a woman while wearing full armor, from the way it's presented he apparently manages to dismount his horse, leap, and penetrate in one smooth move.
