Aliasing bareback → anal_penetration
Link to alias

Reason:

Problem with this tag is that it's most likely used to describe unprotected sex. However, at least from visual standpoint, only protected sex would involve use of condom. Considering the amount of posts and what has been tagged thus far, it feels like unprotected sex should be the norm (aka not tagged) and if it's protected sex, condom and derivatives like wearing_condom should be used.

Because the term is somewhat in use, makes sense to alias it to something that it could be used to search rather than to invalidate it. Pretty sure tag can only be aliased to single thing, so anal_penetration as tags like anal_sex has been aliased to that and it sounds better fit rather than male/male where there can be many other forms of sex and interaction which wouldn't have protection needed to begin with.

However I have personally only heard it to be used with homosexual anal intercourse, but can it be used with other forms of unprotected sex including vaginal and oral? In this case male/male would most definitely be out the window, but would simply aliasing to sex be better then?

And on same topic, should unprotected_ tags be invalidated on reason given in first paragraph? As for those we do already have tags like impregnation and cum_from_ass which are indicating that unprotected sexual act did take place, if it's not in progress and condom isn't in use.

It does get used in male/female situations, likely vaginal included. So aliasing to sex would be better.

i believe that disambiguation would be far better option considering all the stuff that shows up in bareback -anal to avoid tons of mistags

Good point, aliasing it to anal would result in mistags.
But I don't see anything that's worth a disambiguation, those posts already have the proper tags. Just alias it to sex or something..

Edit: Wait, no, there's some images that are clearly meant to be bare_back, such as post #1235804. Still not sure if it's worth a disambiguation, might be easier to just invalidate it.

Should be disambiguated. It's also a term for literal riding. In fact when I first saw the thread that was what I thought you meant. Imagine someone trying to search that and getting anal_penetration instead.

Invalidate that crap...the term “bareback” can mean too many different things all of which already have thier own tags. It’s a slang term that has no use here.

It's a pretty dumb term regarding sex too
