The female orgasm comes in many shapes and sizes, from loud and vigorous to soft and subtle. Well, it does in Real Life at any rate. In television and movies, however, the various censors don't like female orgasms. Or at the very least, not loud and boisterous ones (Herbal Essences commercials notwithstanding). So rather than show a woman in the throes of pleasure, the orgasm is either muted or replaced altogether with a symbolic substitute. This is the "acceptable" PG-13 way of showing a female orgasm — the only exception to this is when the orgasm is made ridiculously loud for effect. Due to the widening of markets and the preponderance of R-rated movies and even television shows, this trope is getting to be much more out of vogue. See The Immodest Orgasm for this trope's successor, The Grunting Orgasm for the male version, and Fake Orgasm for deceptive simulation. See Calling Your Orgasms for when a person gets very specific about the timing. On the other side of the coin, euphemistic symbolism for male arousal is covered by Something Else Also Rises. |

In the Violet Evergarden fanfic "Polaris," which takes its inspiration from the light novel continuity rather than the anime, Violet continues to be The Stoic even as she makes love to her Major Gilbert. The only indications of Violet's pleasure are her breathing getting rougher and her body seizing up rock-solid stiff before relaxing as she comes down from her peak. | |

Played with across two seasons of Desperate Housewives. Andrew talks about "mm-mm!" being the only sound Bree makes during an orgasm, shortly before we hear her make the same sound over a slice of pie. The next season, we find out she never actually has had an orgasm and is afraid she's sick after her first one. | |

An episode of Æon Flux had a woman screaming during a sexual encounter, but MTV only allowed this on the condition that it sounded like a scream of pain rather than pleasure. As if that helps. What makes this whole fact more amusing is that the method of "intercourse" involved is direct stimulation (using tools like forceps) of the exposed spinal nerves inside a surgical opening the woman had in her back. The lesson learned: That it's okay to have decidedly disturbing sex scenes, but it's not okay to make it appear that someone's actually, enjoying, it. | |

Shanti Carson in Shortbus. Although in many ways her scene is as immodest as one can get seeing as a) it takes place during an orgy and b) her scene and all the other sex in the mainstream film is famously unsimulated, the actual orgasm itself is quite subtle. According to the behind-the-scenes featurette on the DVD, the orgasm was real, making this one a borderline real-world example, too. | |

Several directors are interviewed about this trope in the documentary This Film is Not Yet Rated . It goes into quite a bit of detail about the Double Standard and also how incredibly selective it is. One truly bizarre sequence has scenes from films approved by the MPAA contrasted with scenes banned by the same organization. The movie's big overriding question is what exactly the MPAA's rationale is — two naked lesbians under bedsheets are a moral disgrace, but the infamous masturbating into an apple pie scene in American Pie had no apparent problems. One reason is that the former came from an indy studio, while the latter from a major studio, but homosexual content in general seems to be subject to stricter censorship than heterosexual content. Whether this is because of inherent prejudice or, as noted above, the fact that most homosexual content tends to come from independent producers with little negotiating power (or, of course, both) is not fully revealed. | |

Tarot: Witch of the Black Rose: During a series of mishaps in the course of an adventure together, Jon/Skeleton Man and his girlfriend's sister, Raven Hex (with whom he has a tentative relationship at best) find themselves both naked and fleeing for their lives from a heap of huge spiders. Raven can't run because it hurts her enormous, unsupported boobs, so Jon decides to carry her as he runs. The erection he was already sporting somehow slips into a place where it isn't supposed to be and with the bouncing motion from the running, well... Raven tries to warn Jon what's happening, but he's too preoccupied dodging the spiders to listen to her. Despite the later insinuation that she really enjoyed herself, Raven is rather subdued when she comes, merely turning her head to the sky, clenching her teeth and tightly squeezing Jon's face into her cleavage. | |

Sofie in Carnivà le in "Road to Damascus." While with Ben in a truck cab, Sofie starts gasping and squeaking, and then there is a bright bolt of lightning and a loud crack of thunder. It also hints at Sofie's true nature as Brother Justin's daughter, with the same avataric abilities as Ben, (who similarly used them to alter the weather in the first season) which the entire second season was leading up to. And then it was cancelled. | |

Charlotte first performs cunnilingus on Mary, who places her right hand over her mouth to muffle her vocalizations; then Mary returns the favor and Charlotte manages to keep herself almost silent, which is lucky for them because she's pressed up against the wall of their room when she climaxes. | |

An extremely passionate hook-up between the hot chick and her not-boyfriend in Cabin Fever ends with a surprisingly mild gasp and hair toss by the woman, who then collapses on to her lover. The guy didn't make any noise at the grand finale, but that's probably because he was being smothered under a couple of 36D pillows. Damn. | |

Maken-ki!: Seen during the flashback in chapter 69, when Haruko and Takaki recount what Love Espada did to them at the previous Himekagura Festival. During which, she's shown with her back arched and her hand cupped over her mouth, as Espada was fingering her. Haruko experiences another one during the 111.5 omake chapter, in which Usui dreams of suckling her breasts 'til she goes weak-kneed. She clamps her thighs shut just as she hits her peak and slumps to the floor, with heart-shaped pupils. Espada unexpectedly ends up on the receiving end in chapter 79, when Azuki kicks her with her newly evolved Maken. The attack was strong enough to draw blood, causing Espada to smile with a full-faced blush, while soaking her panties. |

To Love Ru: In one of the bonus chapters from the Darkness series, Yui ends up in a compromising position on a train with a bag containing a vibrating toy pressed up against her crotch. The afterglow in the subsequent scene makes it obvious what happened, but she apparently controlled herself well enough that nobody noticed. Another bonus chapter of the same series has Lala repairing Rito's broken phone and "improving the audio quality". In To Love-Ru terms, that means anyone hearing Rito's voice through his phone starts… feeling strange. Yui (again) has an obvious orgasm by the end of the (long) conversation, and Momo collapses after hearing three words. One episode in the anime version has Tearju bump into Rito and somehow end up sitting on his face, with her panties pulled to the side. His attempts to speak causes Tearju to blush and breathe heavily, as she suddenly convulses on top of him. She barely has time enough time to cup her hand over her mouth as she squirts directly into Rito's mouth. Several droplets spray the screen for emphasis, as Tearju collapses and twitches through the remainder of it. |

In If the Emperor Had a Text-to-Speech Device, Descius has one when seeing the Emperor for the first time, although it's more of religious ecstasy than anything sexual. In a flashback, Alicia Dominica was pretty blatantly getting off staring at his ribcage, and it was a lot more sexual; the Emperor and his Companion are still a bit squicked about it 5000 years later. | |

In Enemy at the Gates, Vassili and Tania are having sex in the bunker and have to be very quiet so as not to wake their sleeping comrades. She manages to be quiet when she comes but he covers her mouth for good measure anyway. | |

Battlestar Galactica was apparently asked to reduce an orgasm scene, only to respond that they had a Cylon orgasm (with flashing lights in her spine!) in the pilot. This was eventually retconned since it had implications for the ease of Cylon detecting. Human spines can't light up. How can you miss a luminescent spine in an examination? | |

In The Matrix Reloaded, the Merovingian illustrates his "Cause and Effect" speech by delivering a specially prepared (programmed?) dessert to a woman in the restaurant. She is somewhat surprised at the effect it has (which is shown to us in Matrix code as a fireball in that region) but maintains her composure with aplomb. | |

A season four episode of Gossip Girl opens with Blair lying in bed, making smiling faces and a content sigh here or there. Then we find out Chuck was under the covers, getting a head start on their morning... | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: In the Musical Episode, "Once More, With Feeling", Willow and Tara have metaphoric sex at the climax of Tara's song "Under Your Spell". Tara's orgasm is represented by her being levitated, which ties into the magic-as-lesbianism metaphor that has been playing throughout their relationship. Kind of a weird juxtaposition of modest and immodest: her orgasm is levitating, but she is also singing "You make me COM-plete!". When Willow and Kennedy have sex in the Season Seven episode "Touched", their sex scene is juxtaposed with Robin and Faith having sex, Xander and Anya having sex, and Buffy and Spike lying in bed holding each other, with music playing over the whole thing. Willow's orgasm is shown by her eyes going very wide. |

In Firefly, Inara (the Companion) is actually introduced mid-intercourse, with very muted sounds from both her and her client. The actual moment of orgasm is very brief; Inara softly gasps "Oh my God," and a moment later the camera goes softly out of focus and then back in (double-entendre completely unintentional). This is very artsy, and actually quite a beautiful scene (irrespective of its content). | |

In Go Get a Roomie!, the trope is obliquely referenced when Roomie and Lillian are drinking tea.note The "tree" line alludes to their conversation of a few minutes prior. | |
