* ''Film/TheGoonies'': When JerkJock 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 pants down but is visibly still wearing underpants.

->''"Hey, what's this? Only the ''women'' get naked?! That's bullshit!"''
-->-- '''Penn Jillette''', ''Series/PennAndTellerBullshit'', "Yoga & Tantric Sex"

* ''VideoGame/HouseParty'': 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.

{{Fanservice}} most often is aimed at the straight male {{Demographic|s}}. The assumption is that most heterosexual guys prefer seeing female flesh to seeing other naked guys. Therefore, because MostWritersAreMale, men in sex scenes will be far more covered than women, even during intercourse. The woman may be completely naked (or at least not wearing anything visible. A skintone patch or a cover between legs can be completely hidden from the camera in a way that a penis can't), but the guy will still have his shirt on -- or sometimes only his fly is down. It doesn't matter that with his fly down and his belt off the guy's pants would fall down. It also ignores how painful sex with a metal zipper rubbing up against the genitals could be (although this particular problem could presumably be averted by having the male wear pants with a button-up fly instead). All that matters is seeing that sweet, sweet fanservice with the least amount of {{squick}}.

* Pick any depiction of UsefulNotes/{{Jesus}} on the cross. Chances are that he'll be shown wearing a ragged loincloth. In reality, Roman crucifixions always involved stripping the condemned individual ''fully'', as part of [[ShamefulStrip the over-the-top humiliation of the person the practice entailed.]] The only thing Jesus ought to be portrayed wearing is the crown of thorns. Not only Jesus but in ''any'' depiction of Roman crucifixion victims: Saint Peter, Saint Andrew, etc.

* Frank and Elena have their [[YourCheatingHeart extramarital]] quicky like this in the first episode of ''Series/{{Fortitude}}''—both remain clothed; she lifts up her short skirt and rolls down her stocking tops while presumably he opens his fly. Justified by them doing it in a garage with the door open during a snowy night in the Arctic.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'': Fry still managed to [[MyOwnGrampa impregnate his own grandmother]] despite wearing tighty-whiteys. Bit of an inversion really, because not only was Fry's grandmother covered up more so than Fry, she was wearing different lingerie than what she had when she jumped on him.

This trope may actually be OlderThanFeudalism - there are numerous Roman wall paintings depicting couples during sex, with the woman wearing a brassiere. This may have been because it would've been considered lascivious for her to show her breasts to her own husband during sex, or it may have been censorship on the part of the artist. YMMV.

** Inverted in season 6, with Buffy nearly or fully clothed (or invisible) while Spike is given, in Creator/JamesMasters' 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 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."

** In the episode "Day One". Right through his pants and her skirt, then he turns into a pile of dust.

* Often invoked by ''Series/BigBrother'' and other similar series where contestants engage in actual intercourse. While some participants - especially in the European versions - could 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.

* ''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-whiteys.

* 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.]]
