Topic: "Penetrative" partner?

I noticed that we have a first person view tag for passive partners (`receiving_pov`) but not for active partners, so after browsing Wikipedia for a few minutes, I came to the conclusion that `penetrative_pov` would be a good name.

From the Wikipedia article 'Top, bottom and versatile':
The terms penetrative partner or giver are synonyms of top

Now after tagging around 1100 posts, I started thinking that penetrating_pov would be a better name since "penetrative_pov" might sound awkward for a native English speaker. Give me feedback!

penetrating_pov

does indeed sound more natural to me than penetrative_pov. (And it's more symmetrical; we use receiving_pov, not receptive_pov.)

Thanks! Although I believe creating a new thread to suggest a penetrative_pov -> penetrating_pov alias would be redundant since this one is already discussing the matter. Perhaps I'll edit the title.
