A type of Parental Bonus, Something Else Also Rises is a visual shorthand euphemism for an orgasm, an erection, or ejaculation. One can't come right out and say it -- no pun intended -- so there's a visual placed into the scene as an intentional Does This Remind You of Anything?. This trope is a holdover from when it was still considered risque to show a man and a woman in the same bed (even if they were married!). Filmmakers and animators found a way to get around the Moral Guardians, and still use it to this day. The sneakier sibling to Sexy Discretion Shot.

  • A type of Parental Bonus, Something Else Also Rises is a visual shorthand euphemism for an orgasm, an erection, or ejaculation. One can't come right out and say it -- no pun intended -- so there's a visual placed into the scene as an intentional Does This Remind You of Anything?. This trope is a holdover from when it was still considered risque to show a man and a woman in the same bed (even if they were married!). Filmmakers and animators found a way to get around the Moral Guardians, and still use it to this day. There is a female variation of this trope, too, although much rarer than the male version outside of explicit shows like Drawn Together. While the male version is most frequently Played for Laughs, the female version is usually either not as explicit and heavily veiled in metaphors (like flowers opening etc), or the opposite: the scene is a lot more obviously sexually charged although no actual sex is shown. The Funny Animal version of the trope has ears and/or tails standing straight up instead. See also Raging Stiffie, Nosebleed, Freud Was Right, and Late to The Punchline, as a lot of the Parental Bonus doesn't make sense until one has a few more years. Contrast The Loins Sleep Tonight. The sneakier sibling to Sexy Discretion Shot. Examples of Something Else Also Rises include:
