G-Rated Sex/Playing With

Basic Trope: Two characters do something innocuous that is a metaphor for having sex.
 * Played Straight: Alice and Bob get into the shower and literally sing together.
 * Exaggerated: While they do so, Censor Steam comes up and it really looks like a Sexy Discretion Shot except for the singing.
 * Inverted: Sex is a metaphor for something innocent.
 * Justified: Alice and Bob are Starfish Aliens, and singing is how they have sex.
 * Subverted: Alice is alone in the shower, singing.
 * Double Subverted: But then Bob comes in and sings along with her, before opening the door and producing Censor Steam.
 * Deconstructed:
 * Reconstructed:
 * Parodied: The neighbors have a traumatized look on their faces.
 * Lampshaded:
 * Averted:
 * Alice and Bob actually have sex.
 * Alice and Bob's relationship is not of a sexual or romantic nature, so nothing they do together is even remotely suggestive.
 * Enforced:
 * "We want Alice and Bob to "express their love," buuut...this is a kids' show, so we need them to have sex in a way that isn't really sexual."
 * The Hays Code or some other similar rules/laws governing what is/is not too morally objectionable for network TV/movies/literature/games in a particular place.
 * Invoked: Bob sees Alice naked and singing in the shower and feels like joining her.
 * Defied: Bob doesn't want to encroach on Alice's private time, so he doesn't join her.
 * Discussed:
 * Conversed:
 * Played For Laughs: Almost always is.
 * Played For Drama: Bob sings a duet with someone else, and it affects his relationship with Alice.
