The TVTropes Trope Finder is where you can come to ask questions like "Do we have this one?" and "What's the trope about...?" Trying to rediscover a long lost show or other medium but need a little help? Head to Media Finder and try your luck there. Want to propose a new trope? You should be over at You Know, That Thing Where.

When a show (any form of media, usually a show in my experience), wants to have a character naked with their privates out, but because their show would get not shown on normal TV (or maybe the creator's own boundaries) they place the character behind objects that perfectly cover the privates but still show the nakedness.
Ex: How people normally draw Adam and Eve with tree branches and leaves covering their privates
Ex 2: In "How I Met Your Father", there's this one male character who has his privates out, but they stick the man behind a lamp, and then behind a couch, so it can still go on streaming services
