* SoapWheel: There were always three storylines: high schoolers, college students, and adults in their twenties. Each season was self-contained, consisting of several dozen episodes, and especially in later seasons all stories across age groups were in continuity with each other. Stories were of different durations, with starts and ends staggered, apart from all stories starting in the first episode and all stories ending in the final episode of the season. When a story would end, a new story would start in the same age group, often by shifting focus to a minor character featured in a previous story.

Undressed is infamous for it's ''frank'' discussion of sex and sexuality, as well showing a lot of {{fanservice}} from both men and women and sex scenes that pushed what could be shown on basic cable. On the positive side, this was only of the few shows in the late [[TheNineties 90's]] and the TurnOfTheMillennium to portray gay and lesbian relationships and avoiding ButNotTooGay when it came to affection and sex scenes. Also, the series was pretty progressive at the time in regards to kink, as one episode contained a fair representation of the UsefulNotes/FurryFandom.

Added DiffLines:

* AllGaysArePromiscuous: One gay character (who seemed to be trying to "convert" his roommate) explain this as something of a perk for being gay. His logic was while women are conditioned from a young age [[MyGirlIsNotASlut not to put out]], guys [[DoubleStandard are conditioned/encouraged to be more promiscuous]] and thus have less reluctance to sex in general, ergo it's easier to have sex if you're a gay man than a straight man because the target is more willing.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Gaydar}}: A woman in college is concerned that her boyfriend isn't sleeping with her, so she goes to a gay friend who, after asking her a few questions about her, decides that he is definitely straight.

* GayGuySeeksPopularJock:
** In an episode, former high school geek is hit on and makes out with the (closeted) former high school jock that tormented him. His FagHag teases him about it being the ultimate fantasy of bedding a jock, which he admits.
