It occurred to me while searching that there is a lack of a few sorts of tags for female/female images.

First, there seems to be no name for this position:

post #463880 post #316298

And this, very similar position:

post #625405 post #463498

The distinction being whether the legs are interlaced or on the same side.

Though often involving tribadism, this class of positions may involve other acts, such as double-ended toys:

post #871515 post #290263

And, of course, tribadism is used in other positions as well.

Anyway, I think, even though there's a slight difference between the two positions, for the sake of simplicity, they should both be given the same name. The position is sometimes called scissoring, but that's also used to mean tribadism, and so might be a bit ambiguous (and indeed is already aliased). As such, I propose either scissor_position or x_position (being that the legs appear to make an X shape in this position, whether or not they're interlaced).

Furthermore, we have this position:

post #837198 post #668779

Which is sometimes tagged as missionary position, but is more often not (and to me seems distinct). I don't know if a name for this position exists, but I couldn't find one, and it's a very common position.

Finally, there doesn't really seem to be a tag for the vaginal equivalent of a handjob. I found fingering_partner, which seems reasonable (though slightly ambiguous since it doesn't specify what's being fingered), but is quite undertagged. Should that be the tag used for that act, or is there a better option?

There were some other observations, but I'll stop here to avoid making this too massive to take in.

That's scissors_position. Surprised nobody's been tagging that.

As for anything else, I found The Lesbian Kama Sutra but it only seems to like to load ten pages before I have to refresh so it's a paint trying to search through it.

Just did a quick look-up, no idea for the first case really

Second case I vote:
+1 for scissor_position
0 for x_position
-1 for scissoring (due to association with general tribadism)

"ass to ass" on_back: deck_chair_position

"missionary tribadism": students_position

Vaginal "handjob": vaginal_fingering + fingering_partner would be a compromise that probably works fairly well, in case fingering_partner is properly populated, unless implementing a new tag is preferrred.

However fingering suggests a bit of penetration, while you don't actually have to penetrate for vaginal stimulation, there's clitoral_stimulation but it is underused as well and doesn't tell the whole story.

Wasn't that heavy_petting or something like that?

actually the tag is scissoring but it has been aliased away

According to that wiki, the legs don't have to be interlocked, meaning it includes multiple positions. It should be implied, not aliased.

I looked up the deckchair position and found three entirely different descriptions of what it was supposed to be, and none of them were what we use the tag for. I couldn't find anything at all for Students Position (and likewise for Student's Position).

That said, there are essentially no good sex position charts or lists. None that are organized, and searchable, anyway, and few with any level of completeness. I'm thinking of attempting to make one myself.

Yep, that's the problem with less common sex positions: most names are made up on the spot. But the deck_chair_position tag already exists, and is tagged somewhat consistently.

I think we could create a scissoring_position tag for this specific position:
post #914264

As long as the wiki entry includes example thumbnails, I don't think that it'd get mistagged much.

I suppose I'll start using those tags then - after all, even if they end up getting a better name, the progress won't be pointless because aliasing exists.

Also I started making a position categorization thing.

And I've still never gotten an answer as to what to tag this, since frottage is for males only:

post #891099 post #882917 post #882639 post #856558 post #846253

Grinding?

That second one's thigh_sex, though (I prefer intercrural, but it's aliased away)

1 and 5 could possibly be shallow_penetration but not very useful for finding those specific posts, no.

Grinding is too general to be useful to specifically define those posts (if that's what we want), though it could be implied. I would rather implement a new tag in that case but no good term springs to mind. We got tribadism_on_penis for when there's a penis involved in tribadism, but this is only "half" of that.
