Topic: Should pseudo-penis penetration count as urethral or vaginal?

Posted under Tag/Wiki Projects and Questions

I've seen several images involving characters with a pseudo-penis being penetrated/fingered/etc. get tagged as sometimes urethral_*, sometimes vaginal_* and sometimes neither of those. I think we should agree on one or the other and change the wiki page to make it clear which of the two should be used.

Going by the site's policy of TWYS, I'd be tempted to say that urethral should have priority, especially since female spotted hyenas (which are pretty much the only reference we have) don't have a separate opening for the vagina, they only have one hole down there and essentially give birth through their urethra.

With that said, I'd understand if people thought otherwise and would rather we use vaginal instead, so I'm asking which of the two seems most logical to people here (at least, those of us who aren't too weirded out to care).

As a self proclaimed hyena expert, technically it is vaginal as it is a enlarged clitoris. It'd only be urethral if it goes into the urethral channel instead of the vaginal channel.

It could be counted as ambiguous_penetration, but personally I'd go with vaginal_penetration unless there was reasonable doubt.

I get your point, but I don't think it's justifiable to tag penetration based on stuff that happens "below" surface-level. Also, doesn't the pseudo-penis include some of the labia majora as well? For all intents and purposes, as well as from a visual standpoint, it's pretty much just a penis that makes it somewhat less inconvenient to put stuff in it.

I'm a bit late to this, but I'd leave it up to admin discretion on a per-image basis.
Artist intent and anatomical knowledge vary wildly between images to the point that a lot of the time it's genuinely impossible to tell a character who's intended to have a pseudopenis apart from your garden-variety gynomorph, simply because it's drawn exactly the same as a regular penis.

I feel like the biggest problem here is the majority of pseudopenis vaginal is drawn fully-erect in the style of penis_in_penis instead of fully-retracted as I'm led to believe it happens in reality, in tandem with most artists just drawing them as a human penis or the inevitable canine penis.
