Is an anthro sucking an anthros udders considérés explicit or questionable?

I think thats one of those questions that depends on what the picture is trying to depict.

It rly just depends on the context. There's lots of somewhat innocent sfw cartoon characters sucking udders in children's shoes for comedic effect or just to get a drink. (Mind you this is just in cultural context; I am unsure of the actual site rules regarding teat suckling and its possible impact on ratings, even if culturally depicted as innocent. "X anus", for example, while culturally innocent is automatically an explicit rating here)

HOWEVER, in this context it is meant to pretty much resemble fellatio and the cow looks pleasured. So in this context I do think the explicit tag is warranted

I'd say rating:e.

As dice says, there MAY be innocent lulz examples out there, it's better to whole-hog say that it's E-rated.

Are udders e-rated?

I mean,m those are breasts, effectly... and if x-anus is....

Breasts are rated questionable. I don't get the point of this statement.

Udders cant be e-rated 100% of the time because they are not looked at as genitals. If that was the case every Miltank and Cow and Chicken picture would be e-rated.

I personally agree that teat suckling be questionable at the very least, even if culturally it's pretty innocent. Mainly cause it's essentially nipple sucking, which is also... a minimum of questionable.

In OP's specific case with the specific image shared: I feel the allusions to fellatio and the pleasure make it pretty fine to tag as explicit

It should only be questionable. While she's getting enjoyment out of it, it doesn't appear to be a sexual act.

Okay, let me make my perspective clear on this: I'm not sure if udders should, or shouldn't be e-rated by default... (I did say that udder SUCKLING should be e-rated though...)

x-anus is e-rated, which is pretty gnarly considering one of my memories of grandma involves a shirt with kitty faces on the front and kitty butts--with x-anus-- on the back.

The thing is, while it's all well and good to say that a tag is *sometimes* explicit, depending on context SOMETIMES... in practice, that can get really messy.

We have some tags that are ALWAYS e-rated. Pussy, penis, anus are the obvious ones. Sex is always explicit, even if nothing's showing (post #1532568 post #1532090 ) Obvious, right? but we also include things like dildos. Like sex juices, even if they're just on the fingers of a fully clothed person. lots of blood. watersports.

One of these tags is sheath.

the following are rated:e because of sheathes:

post #1417728 post #1426947 post #1414682

Obviously, those are basically pretty safe pictures containing nothing more lewd then you'd see on your trip to the zoo.

But where do you draw the line?

Obviously, these have balls, anuses, and other things too, but my favorite example of a explicit sheath was deleted... so. bear with me for purposes of example, eh?

post #1315102 post #1530943 post #1518324

So it's easier to say that a sheath is always explicit, no matter what the context is.

Since that is a rule, what about udders?

Udders are technically breasts. Breasts are, by default, questionable... so maybe udders should be considered questionable by default?

Do we consider nipple suckling to be e-rated?
What if it's a baby doing it?
What if the breast-owner is getting pleasure from it?

This is a place where the rules should be defined. :)

As far as I know, they are questionable. Treat them same as other type of breasts.

But the whole breast sucking thing is a bit of a grey area. Breastfeeding is probably not explicit, but beyond that it tends to be too situational. I've avoided touching those while checking the ratings. Because of the lack of clear rulings.

Hmm. The ratings guidelines also say that the following are questionable:

- suggestive posing (such as butt shot) where focus is drawn to breasts, butt, or covered/obscured genitals

This is literally suggestive posing, and draws attention to the udder area...

- all content with slight (but obvious) fetishistic material

I would argue that while breast suckling and lactation is a pretty mild fetish, this is WAY past 'slight'

The following are for explicit images:

- sex and/or masturbation

I would argue that if one person is touching another person, or interacting with them in some way that gives them sexual pleasure, that should count.

Well, for this specific image, I feel strongly that it's an E... however:

yikes.. mmm.. well...

"depictions of older characters in diapers" is considered questionable and is considered fetish material. I would argue that an adult being breastfeeding would also quality as fetish material.

Oh, sure.
By breastfeeding, I meant nursing a baby. Should've probably clarified since breastfeeding is tagged for other stuff here. (...maybe we should have a subtag for adult 'breastfeeding').

Oh sure, I probably gathered that :) I"m jsut trying to wrap my brain around all the angles :) or curves. Squooshy curves. :)

That said, I would approve of a variety of subtags. subtags are good. :D
