create implication sex (998499) -> sexual_contact (184)
create implication grope (12487) -> sexual_contact (184)
create implication prodding (1993) -> sexual_contact (184)
create implication toying_partner (9328) -> sexual_contact (184)
create implication fingering_partner (9444) -> sexual_contact (184)
create implication penis_grab (12444) -> sexual_contact (184)

Reason: Self-explanitory; all are forms of sexual contact. I can think of many more, but I don't know if I should limit how many I suggest at a time.

Why is sexual_contact even a tag?

I created it as a catch-all for... well, sexual contact. To separate images that are simply explicit from ones where two (or more) characters are going at it. Prodding and such are excluded from sex, so -sex won't do that.

Wouldn't rating:e -duo -group cover that?

There are plenty of explicit images where multiple characters are shown off without them all over each other. Characters walking side by side or hanging out.

It's okay if people don't find it necessary. I personally think it'd be useful, but I can stop if a bunch of people are against it.

Physical interaction between two characters does not even need to happen for a post to be sexual.
Your current definition of sexual_contact does not include presenting, imminent_sex, after_sex, tentacle_sex, solo masturbation/voyeur, exhibitionism, etc.

In theory, non-sexual posts of multiple characters can be found just by excluding the <gender>/<gender> tags since that implies an interaction; i.e., rating:e -solo ~duo ~group -sex -masturbation -m/m -m/f -f/f -a/m -a/f -a/a -i/m -i/f -i/i. However, things are rarely tagged correctly.

That's fair. The point of my tag was to just solo out images where there's presentation without sexual action. I don't know if it has a term, some kind of voyeurism where you like seeing nudity without sex.
There's no doubt a way to "-<x>" to every single tag where characters get touchy-feely with each other, but I figured this would simplify the process. Especially if implication does most of the work.

A combination of casual_nudity & tasteful_nudity can help with that, but not for all situations (e.g., nude couple in bed).

I'm not sure how valid your tag suggestion will be, but the current definition definitely does not cover all sexual situations. As mentioned, contact does not need to happen for it to be sexual action.
If you're looking to exclude sexual scenarios based on your own preferences, adding the tags into your blacklist can help make searching easier for you.

I feel like it could actually be a useful tag if we remove actual sex, though. As an umbrella for different kinds of sexual contact between characters that isn’t sex, since all forms of sex imply sex, but the various kinds of sexual contact don’t imply anything. Meanwhile, the gender-on-gender tags often include things that aren’t strictly sexual, like hugging, or sexual scenarios that don’t involve contact, like presenting.
