Does a ghost penis shoot ectoplasm? (ejactoplasm?)

lol, not for the most part. Most of these are just penises which are translucent. For the small handful that has other signs that it might actually be the dick of a ghost, it can be tagged with the ghost tag. Though it's a lot better for searches if the actual traits are also tagged, so: translucent_penis, glowing_cum, glowing_penis, etc as applicable. Most are only translucent_penis though.

I think this is a good alias, because it is a bit more of a literal description. Tags like phantom_penis (a variant off of this one) have had a tendency to be used for regular disembodied_penis as well as translucent_penis simply because it's easy to think "well if I can't see the being who owns this penis, then it must be a ghost or phantom" and that confuses the tag usage. So I think translucent_penis is a lot clearer. It also makes it consistent with other translucent_* (insert part of body here) tags. Which is nice, since that makes it a little easier to remember "now how do I tag this type of thing again? how does the tag go?" if it's consistent with other related tags in some way.

I've been using ghost_penis for ones that are even less visible than average translucent_penis, but yeah, maybe we don't need to separate those.

Yeah, I think its meant to be non-literal.

+1 for alias

But what if it's a canine ghost? Would it be a ghost_canine_penis or a canine_ghost_penis? Maybe it's a canine_penis_ghost!
But seriously a ghost is a state of being, not a species. Now, bedsheet_ghost is an actual species, but have no sex organs in the original works, so whatever they end up with is going to be the appearance of something else.
