Basic Trope: Non-Humans do not have genitalia, even when they should.
- Straight: Werewolves do not have genitalia.
- Exaggerated:
- Despite being very detailed and realistic, werewolves do not have genitalia.
- This is taken to the extreme of not featuring animals genitalia that only someone knowledgeable in exotic biology would recognize like pedipalps.
- Downplayed:
- In some cases, werewolves have a few lines to suggest where their genitals are, but it's not detailed.
- Animals are shown to have realistically visible anuses but no genitals.
- Justified:
- The non-humans do not need genitals because they reproduce asexually.
- The non-humans' genitalia is located internally.
- The non-human characters are based on a species that don't actually have any (visible) genitalia to begin with, such as birds, reptiles, amphibians, and insects.
- Inverted:
- Humans don't have genitalia while other creatures do.
- Something that doesn't ordinarily have genitalia is shown to have them. Even inanimate objects may have genitalia, somehow.
- Subverted:
- A seemingly naked beastman actually wears a hide-matching loin cloth (like a Wolf Man in a fur speedo).
- The Jovians do have genitalia, we just don't recognize them as such.
- Double Subverted: He only wears them for comfort and doesn't have anything to hide.
- Parodied: A werewolf transforms and feels the need to urinate. 2 minutes later, he's thoroughly confused because he succeeded.
- Zig Zagged:
- Some werewolves have genitalia, some don't.
- The non-humans ordinarily lack genitalia, but some of them are shape-shifters who are sometimes able to simulate genitals should they be in situations where they'd need them.
- Averted:
- Werewolves have visible genitalia.
- Werewolf genitalia is present, but censored.
- Enforced:
- "This is a kids' show, so it's unlikely we'll get away with having the aliens walk around naked with their genitals in plain view just because they aren't human."
- There's no reason why the nonhumans should have genitals in the first place, so they're just not added.
- Lampshaded: "How can your species reproduce if you don't have any privates?"
- Invoked:
- The aliens use their technology to remove their genitalia and create non-sexual methods of reproduction.
- Werewolves intentionally grow their fur in ways that hide their private areas.
- Exploited: Because the non-human creatures lack genitalia, it is impossible to incapacitate one of them with a Groin Attack.
- Defied: The aliens decide that lacking genitals is too weird even by their standards, so they start giving themselves genitalia.
- Discussed: "It kind of creeps me out when aliens, demons, and other non-human sapients are depicted with no genitalia."
- Conversed: "I know. I'm often kept awake at night trying to figure out how they'd manage to pee or have sex."
- Implied:
- An autopsy of an alien after notes that they were unable to find any reproductive structures in the initial autopsy and are uncertain if they were hidden in another organs as a secondary function, were removed, or if they never had them in the first place.
- Werewolves and other non-humans are always wearing just enough clothing to protect their modesty, but it's left unclear whether they actually have anything under there or not.
- Deconstructed: A lack of genitalia prevents human and non-human relations from being possible because of the non-human races' inability to have sex with humans.
- Reconstructed: The humans and the non-humans still get together after realizing that healthy relationships don't revolve 100% around sex and finding ways to work around the non-human races' lack of genitalia.
