Basic Trope: A nonhuman character with an unusual method of (usually sexual) stimulation.
- Straight: Alice the Green Skinned Space Catgirl gets aroused and blushes furiously whenever someone strokes her tail.
- Exaggerated:
- Every point on Alice’s body is an erogenous zone.
- Just touching the tail is enough to bring Alice to orgasm.
- Downplayed: While it’s mildly pleasant, stroking Alice’s tail does not result in sexual or otherwise ecastic pleasure.
- Justified: The antennae of Alice species are already very sensitive for other reasons: this is just a natural extension of this.
- Inverted: The Reverse scale on Alice the dragon acts as an immediate Berserk Button when pressed.
- Subverted: Bob stares at Alice’s tail curiously, and starts petting it. Alice then turns to him, and looks at him in confusion as he backs off sheepishly.
- Double Subverted: “…I didn’t say stop.”
- Parodied:
- Alice’s tail is treated like masturbation; complete with being told she’ll go blind if she keep touching it, being mistaken for self-petting, and Breaking In Old Habits.
- Alice is a robot girl, and has an On button that works like this.
- Zig Zagged: The tails of Alice’s species can be erogenous, but it’s far from universal: it’s treated as a fetish or kink, like foot-fetishism in humans.
- Averted: No Hugging, No Kissing, hence no-one gets aroused, human or otherwise.
- Enforced: The Fandom for the show, disappointed that Alice’s tail doesn’t seem to work that way, writes it into Fanon.
