There are only four multi-penis tags on this site that I know of. The first two are very well established and used frequently.

1) multi_cock: Used for any image in which a single character has 2+ penises. Implicates penis

2) hemipenes: Used for when a character has two penises horizontally aligned right next to one another. Implicates multi_cock and penis.

The second two up for debate today do not have a wiki written for them, nor do they have any known implications.

3) double_penis: Used for characters who have 2 penises in general. Hemipenes would of course fall into this category. If this tag were to stay, then it should implicate multi_cock and penis, then hemipenes should be implicated to it. This tag itself as of current has only been used 7 times.

4) triple_penis: Used for characters who have 3 penises. Should the tag stay it should implicate multi_cock and penis. This tag has only been used once.

While these tags do indeed serve a specific purpose, I have qualms about their usefulness on this site. It is their general lack of use and the fact that their sticking around provides an opening for tags like "quadruple_penis", "pentuple_penis", "sextuple_penis", etc. (How far will we let it go before it gets ridiculous?)

There are two options here:

A) Kill them with fire: Alias double_penis to hemipenes (because dual_penis is aliased to it already, so what's the difference?) and alias triple_penis to multi_cock.

B) Keep and clean them: 3 things would need to happen if we go this route.
1. The implications that I listed in their descriptions ("3)" and "4)" above) should be carried out.
2. They should both have a wiki written for them specifying their intended use.
3. Much like the barefoot tag has been treated as of recently, their frequency of use should be increased by applying them to posts both old and new whereever they are fit for use.

So what do you think guys? Option A or B? Does anyone else have any other suggestions?

Plan A

C alias all of them to multi-cock

What if a user wants to see only two penises in their search? Wouldn't be very efficient if we alias them all to one tag.

I vote for plan A

What if someone only wants to see 3 penises? or 4? or 5?

All, or none, the number 2 isn't special.

I'd keep multi_cock for all instances of more than one penis. Keep hemipenes for specific side-by-side multiple penises. And keep triple_penis because I don't imagine it'd be easy to find in amongst all the double penis pictures otherwise. But have all those implicate -> multi_cock.

I'd alias away double_penis to -> multi_cock. Oh and I found another version of it to also alias away or somehow reconcile with these: diphallism. It's the same as double_penis but at the very least should be combined so we don't have two versions of it running around.

I disagree, 2 is very special imo. What's better than one slice of cake? 2. What's better than one lesbian? 2. What's better than one hot dog? 2. 2 is the perfect number, it's not too much or too little

In your opinion perhaps.
However, there's plenty of people who enjoy 3 or more pieces of cake in one sitting.
Or lesbians who love a good orgy.
Or Jimmy Chestnut.

Arbitrarily keeping only one specific number of penis tag is silly, and pointless.

Edit: Aside from which, a double penis that is vertical in arrangement is not a hemipenes, and frankly the horizantal arrangement isn't always technically a hemipenes.
In fact, I would go so far as to say a majority of "double_penis" images are not hemipenes, since a hemipenes does not have a fully enclosed urethra that is used to ejaculate out of like a mammal's penis, but rather a groove along one side to help channel the fluid.

By your logic two_tone_hair should not even exist.

If you say so, anyway I still go for FatherOfGray's plan A.

Those tags stopped being useful for me when hemipenes got aliased with dual_penis (which I used to have on my blacklist).

What was the difference before that alias? Hemipenes was for actual hemipenes, while dual_penis was for vertical doubles. Now they're uselessly lumped under one tag, though the wiki descriptions weren't updated.

So my preference would be what Furrypickle suggested:

I'd keep multi_cock for all instances of more than one penis. Keep hemipenes for specific side-by-side multiple penises. And keep triple_penis because I don't imagine it'd be easy to find in amongst all the double penis pictures otherwise. But have all those implicate -> multi_cock.

...with the addition of unaliasing dual_penis from hemipenes and aliasing it with double_penis and diphallism instead. So there'd be some way to search for actual hemipenes.

Very well then, whatever happens to double_penis, diphallism shall be given the same treatment. It looks like most people are leaning towards my Option A, but I'm going to give this thread a day for other people to make their opinions and recommendation known before declaring the most popular choice of action.

I think it would make more sense to alias hemipenes to double_penis. Hemipenes implies more specificity than just two penises.

I think that's a pretty good point. If hemipenes is supposed to retain it's side-by-side meaning then a general duel_penis tag shouldn't have been aliased into it in the first place. duel_penis should have been aliased into double_penis/diphalism instead of hemipenes. Then if we keep double penis or not, it at least all gets aliased to the same place, or kept in the same place. So fixing that while we're cleaning up all the other tags on the subject is a good point and I agree. I actually hadn't realised it was like that until you brought it up.

Are you proposing a penis duel sir?

Well then... en garde!

(lol, I meant dual_penis. Although dueling penises would be a sight to see, all typing errors aside.)

Uhm, yes it is. We already have solo, duo, and group as a valid quantity tags. We're trying to be at least as good as primitive cultures. (And BTW what you suggest is definitely not "all or none", but "all, one, or none".)

Anyway, I'm for plan A.

For Fuzzy's solution.

Perhaps the tag Multi_Penis would work?
