The bulk update request #5557 is pending approval.

create implication equine_sheath (316) -> equine_genitalia (157088)
create implication equine_sheath (316) -> sheath (91497)

Reason: An equine_sheath is a type of equine_genitalia and a type of sheath.

Is there a visual difference between an equine sheath and any other sheath? (genuine question, I don't know)

I feel too many people would use it to mean equine+sheath or horse+sheath, irrespective of what it actually looks like or regardless of enough detail being present to distinguish it from any other sheaths.

you are on e621, you can compare and contrast with plenty of examples

Ok. I looked through some equine_sheaths and they really look about the same as any other sheath to me. :P

I asked because maybe there's some small aspect I'm overlooking. I'm not a sheath enthusiast

I think equine sheaths are more loose with more skin folds than for example a canine sheath, especially in the opening, which is most visible when the penis is fully sheathed.

These are probably the clearest examples, but there probably is a bit of an issue of people adding this tag to posts where these details aren't very visible.

What's stopping an artist from depicting a non-equine penis (eg. a knotted canine penis) with an equine sheath?

I agree that it should imply sheath (or be aliased to sheath), but I disagree that it should imply equine_genitalia.

I'm not sure I understand the problem, sheath is already considered genitalia because it implies animal genitalia. So wouldn't that make equine sheath a valid type of equine genitalia regardless of what other types of genitalia it may be paired with?
