Deimplicate threesome > sex

Posted under General

The current description of sex is this, which has been mostly the same since 2008:

  • Pictures depicting the act of sexual intercourse. Only use this tag for actual vaginal or anal penetration. Don't use it for oral sex, paizuri, or other acts that don't involve penetration.

Well, my opinion is:

1. Don't deimplicate threesome > sex, because it would be pointless. AFAIK, nobody wants to clean up sex to make sure all posts with nonpenetrative threesomes are removed, much like nobody wants to clean up that big can of worms as a whole.
2. One good incentive to make people engage in cleaning up that huge mess would be making final, well-discussed and well understood decisions, such as:

  • ...either "Definitely use sex for penetrative sex only, no exceptions, because of these good reasons: (insert good reasons here)"
  • ...or "Expand sex to all forms of sexual behavior, penetrative or not, because of these good reasons: (insert good reasons here)"
  • ...or, alternatively, "Forget about sex completely and let's use different tag names, because of these good reasons: (insert good reasons here)"
  • ...which are very different from "Let's try to obey the wiki, at least partially, by removing an implication that conflicts with it."

3. The wiki of sex does not represent accurately the meaning of "sex" or the actual use of that tag: rape, mutual masturbation, cunnilingus, etc. are forms of sex, too, whether our tag system acknowledges it or not.
