** In the episode "Racing Mars", Delenn invites Sheridan to another ritual which involves them "discovering each other's centers of pleasure." When Sheridan shows up to her quarters for that, he realizes that said ritual involves being observed doing the deed by several other Minbari, including Lennier. Sheridan is reluctant, but is convinced to do it anyway. Later, a clearly awkward Sheridan and Lennier share a lift, where a confused Lennier asks Sheridan "woohoo?", implying that the "ritual" was....quite the experience.

** Judging by one of the maids' comments about Londo needing to borrow her clothes and how the Emperor used to do that too, it seems Cartagia was also a crossdresser.

* Regarding the hermaphroditic statue, once Londo is alone in his quarters, he walks off camera, taking the statue with him. The way he does it is oddly reminiscent of someone [[ADateWithRosiePalms taking a lingerie catalog with them to the bathroom.]]

** Centauri babies have to come out somewhere, so she just might have complimentary "genitalia" (for lack of a better word) that would allow for interspecies sex.

* In the first season episode "Infection" Garibaldi is trying to decide if he should buy some item from a shop.
** "According to the translator, it's [[EitherWorldDominationOrSomethingAboutBananas either an aphrodisiac or a floor wax]]. I can't decide if it's worth the risk or not." And upon deciding to buy it, "If this thing leaves a waxy yellow buildup--on ''anything''--I'm coming back here."

** One of the characters viewing the video mentions that humans and pak'ma'ra can't POSSIBLY do what it is being indicated they are about to do (becuase of, shall we say, plumbing problems)...then, apparently, they do anyway. (The file was one of several on the crystal. The most apparently straight-laced of the characters turned out to have a collection of such stuff, and mixed up his crystals when turning in a written report.)

Ivanova, who has an unfortunate knack for finding herself involved in discussions of Centauri anatomy, says "So you feel you're being symbolically cast... [[LastSecondWordSwap in a bad light]]?"

* Lyta Alexander has been modified by the Vorlons so she can psychically carry their consciousness through the universe to attend to matters. At the conclusion of one such spell (which manifests like white tentacles of light pouring from the encounter suit into her eyes and mouth), she says "You didn't have to pull out of me so fast. You hurt me." As if her position as Kosh II's attache needed an even more abusive subtext. . .

** The same scene has Marcus repeatedly extending and retracting his Minbari fighting pike. When Franklin complains that it's annoying him, Marcus mutters that it helps him relax. And if that was all too subtle, he's also holding it at about crotch level.
