Basic Trope: Even when a man and woman are both having sex, there will be far more female than male nudity.
- Straight: Alice and Bob are having sex. Although Alice is naked, Bob is still wearing his pants.
- Exaggerated:

- Downplayed:
- We see Bob's naked back, but not his crotch or ass.
- Alice is naked, but Bob is wearing just a shirt.
- Both are almost entirely naked except that Alice only has pasties and Bob is wearing an open vest. Both are covered by a blanket below the waist.
- Justified:
- The couple is not having actual sex, just stimulation.
- Alice is a Shameless Fanservice Girl, while Bob is very nervous about taking off his clothes ... not that this keeps him from Eating the Eye Candy without shame.
- Bob is very scarred beneath his clothes and not in a rugged way. Alice, while she doesn't mind it lets him keep his shirt on because it makes him more comfortable.
- Bob is Alice's Dom, and him being clothed while she's naked is part of their power play.
- Bob’s fly is open, allowing him to thrust into Alice.

- Alice and Bob are acting out a porn scene catered to straight men.

- Alice and Bob are in an area that's particularly cold and/or public. They're trying to remain partially dressed to keep warm and/or avoid attracting too much attention.

- Double Subverted:

- Bob starts to remove his pants, but something interrupts them.
- Bob takes off his pants, but never takes off his underwear.
- Parodied:
- Alice is shown in full frontal nudity, while Bob is covered from head to toe. If he exposes even his eyes or hands, a Scenery Censor pops up to hide it while she screams, "AUGH! I can't look!"
- A series of events happen that end up exposing Alice and Bob in public.
- Zig-Zagged: Sometimes Alice is naked while Bob is clothed; sometimes Bob is naked while Alice is clothed; sometimes they're both clothed; and other times, they're both naked.
- Averted:
- Alice and Bob are both naked.
- Alice and Bob are both clothed.
- Alice and Bob aren't making love.
- Enforced:
- The director wanted a Fanservice scene, but the executives complained about it jacking up the content rating, so this was a compromise.
- Bob's actor refuses to do nudity.
- Lampshaded: "Why are you waiting to take off your pants?"

- Defied: Alice refuses to be nude unless Bob is nude as well.
- Discussed:Bob: Alice and I had great sex the other night.Alice: He stayed clothed and I got naked. Somehow, that made it more fun.

- Implied: More of Alice’s body than Bob’s is shown on camera, and she has no covered skin shown while he does.

- Reconstructed:
- He invents or acquires clothes that repel bodily fluids.
- They can afford the bill.
- Played for Laughs: Alice's nudity amuses Bob in more ways than one.
- Played for Drama:
- Alice is required to be naked by the regime of the No Woman's Land where she and Bob live, which broadcasts their lovemaking on state TV. She finds this experience profoundly degrading.
- Bob is a sexual abuse victim who gets triggered by being naked.
