* Though ''Manga/AyakashiTriangle'' has loads of graphic nudity and suggestive situation, dialogue never mentions genitals by name, even when they're being discussed (mostly in relation to Matsuri's GenderBender). In the most extreme case, Matsuri describes his transformation to Haya, including an anecdote about ''peeing'' with his new body, but his language is no more specific than having "lost an essential part of me down there".

* The work does not have an Everyone Rating.
* Alternatively, the work does have an Everyone rating, but the censorship is for a word in a non-sexual situation, e.g. "I hurt my penis."

* Parodied in ''Film/AustinPowers: the Spy Who Shagged Me''. When Dr. Evil flies his phallic-shaped rocket, everybody on the ground describes it as "looking like a..." only to be cut off with the scene changing to another person saying a synonym for penis in an unrelated context.

* ''Fanfic/WithPearlAndRubyGlowing'' is a fanfic focusing on a rape support group and is M-Rated, but the series rarely uses anatomical names, with terms such as "private parts" and "special place" being used instead, at least when children talk about it. Depictions of the assaults tend to fade to black or be described vaguely in general.

* '''A work or scene had to be removed or edited solely due to featuring an anatomical word.'''
* '''The euphemism or whatever sounds unnatural''' and it would make more sense to just say the word and '''this unnatural effect doesn't make sense in-universe'''.
* '''A character who otherwise speaks in an notably rough manner still uses euphemisms for anything involving sexual anatomy''', except when this is used as characterisation (e.g. to hint that he's a "closet prude".)

** ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'': Data the android has male genitalia, and whenever that fact is brought to light, the phrases "fully functional" and "anatomically correct" are used. In "Datalore", Riker sounds pretty awkward when asking Data if his "brother" Lore has all his parts, implying that he's wondering if Lore has a penis. In "The Naked Now", Data hears a limerick from a person infected with a virus that makes the infected lose their inhibitions and repeats part of it to Picard: "There was a young lady from Venus, whose body was shaped like a..." but Picard interrupts him before he can say the last word.

*** In "Message in a Bottle", the holographic doctor meets another one and mentions that he's had sex before. The other hologram says, "Sex?! How is that possible?! We aren't equipped with a--" but is cut off by the Doctor bragging, "Let's just say I made an [[RoboSexual addition to my program.]]"
*** In "State of Flux", Neelix describes some poisoning symptoms that include a stabbing pain that starts at your knees and works its way up to the--

* ''LightNovel/{{Shimoneta}}'' features an exaggerated InUniverse example. In a near-future Japan where everything that is "immoral", from pornography to talking about anything related to sex or genitals -- including dirty jokes -- has been made illegal, everyone has to use highly sanitized euphemisms... [[SubvertedTrope except]] for the perverted terrorist "Blue Snow", who revels in flouting the law by dressing up in nothing but a blanket on her body and a panty as a makeshift mask and publicly spouting the most explicit vulgarities and sexual jokes ever invented by man (though those are [[DoubleSubversion censored]] for the audience's "benefit").
