# Gender tags

Gender tags:
- `male` - Self explanatory.
- `female` - Self explanatory.
- `ambiguous` - Used when the gender of the subject is ambiguous or otherwise impossible to clearly denote, such as extreme close-ups (or cut-offs), non-human persons, or purposefully androgynous subjects.
- `intersex` - Catch-all for all sorts of non-standard body types. Everything below should be parented here.
- `hermaphrodite` - Feminine body, penis, vagina. Includes futanari.
- `male hermaphrodite` - Masculine body, penis, vagina. Think Crim from Interspecies Reviewers.
- `andromorph`/`cuntboy` - Masculine body, vagina, no penis.
- `gynomorph`/`shemale` - Feminine body, penis, no vagina. Includes shemales, includes futanari for some.

# Gender counting tags
The family of tags used to describe the amount of and the gender of portrayed subjects.

Use the following:
`n female(s)`, `n male(s)`, `n intersex`, `n other(s)`
where n is a number from 1 to 6. Anything more, use 6+ as of Danbooru style. Numbers above 6 are not forbidden but discouraged and should be parented to the equivalent 6+ tag.
Any instance of subjects with gender fitting the umbrella of `intersex` (see section Gender Tags) should be tagged as `n intersex`.
Use `n other(s)` for cases where the gender (see section Gender Tags) is ambiguous.

# Gender interaction tags
The family of tags used to describe a sexual or romantic interaction between portrayed subjects.

Use the slash form, as in:
`male/female`, `female/female` etc.
When constructing a tag, check the list below. The gender more to the left of the two always goes on the left side of the slash:
andromorph->gynomorph->intersex->male->female->ambiguous

The above order is generally arbitrary, but chosen to keep some compatibility with existing tagging schemas.

Do not use `female/male` to designate an active female participant, use `male/female` and supplement it with a tag such as `female on top`, `femdom`, etc, in order to be explicit.
`gay` and `lesbian` are to be siblinged to `male/male` and `female/female` due to a much smaller chance of misinterpretation.
Anything else is to be siblinged to the nearest correct.
While the `male on female` syntax is slightly more clear as to what it describes, the slash syntax is less directional.

# Group sex tags
The family of tags used to specify the configuration of group sex.

Use a letter shortcut + the word threesome, as in:
`mmf threesome`, `ffm threesome`, `mmff foursome`, `fffm foursome`, parented to `threesome` or `foursome` as required.
`threesome` and `foursome` should be also parented to `group sex`.
Don't go above foursome, that's silly. Just use `group sex`.
For cases with only male and female participants, use the version which starts with the predominant (most numerous) gender, so `ffm threesome` rather than `mff threesome`. This appears to be the most common form on the Internet.
Use `mmff foursome` rather than `ffmm foursome` for the sake of consistency. Any tags with the incorrect order should be siblinged to the correct version.

For cases with "non-standard" participants, denote them with the letter "t" and sort the shortcut alphabetically, as in:
`fft threesome`, `mtt threesome`, `fmtt foursome`.
The "t" appears to be the most common indicator in this kind of context.

To note:
- `group sex` - refers to more than two people having sex with each other.
- `threesome` and `foursome` - refers to three and four people having sex with each other, respectively. Should be parented to `group sex`.
- `orgy` - As per Wikipedia's definition, 5 or more people having sex in vicinity of each other, but not necessarily together, for example 3 pairs of 2.

A threesome and a separate pair is an `orgy` and contains `group sex`.
Three separate pairs do not contain `group sex` despite still being an `orgy`.
