Topic: Is there a Tag for two penises?

Posted under General

If not I have "double_penis" in mind.

I dont like images with two penises and if we had a Tag for that i could blacklist it.

hemipenes or diphallism, depending on the sort it is. Hemipenes should probably imply diphallism, but I guess it's a difference between genetic standard and genetic anomaly.

  • multi_cock - 2-??? penises
    • diphallism - 2 penises
    • hemipenes - Two penises, but pretty much only used with scalies (mostly snakes). If it looks anything like a human penis, you probably shouldn't use this.

If you're not sure which to use, it's probably safe just to go with multi_cock since it will end up tagged with that anyways.

The only reason I could see of for not doing this is it would get dumped into diphallism...however I'd imagine they get mixed up anyways so I don't think many people would notice. To be honest I'd prefer to just alias diphallism to multi_cock and use hemipenes for the animal genitalia. It's not all that common to have more than 2 penises anyways and the ones that do are probably tagged what anyways.

You only use hemipenes when the penises are horizontal to each other

Did you mean parallel? "horizontal to each other" doesn't mean anything sensible in English.

Probably, I got him just fine.

Also, I think hemipenes are supposed to be visibly coming out of a genital slit or cloaca, but perhaps just being parallel is enough. Should be if they're clearly conjoined, even if the angle of the pic doesn't show you where they come out of.

What's wrong with "horizontal to each other"? You know what I mean, they are side-by-side, next to each other, next door, etc. They are not parallel because they are not pointed at the same angle. It's more perpendicular

It shouldn't be parallel unless the artist isn't very good at anatomy.

Technically speaking, most hemipenes don't really look like penises anyways. Some do, but many just look like weird growths. Marsupials technically don't have hemipenes but it's easier to lump them into the same category since in a drawing...well it really doesn't make that much of a difference. Artists tend to be liberal with it's use (which is fine) but it does have a specific technical use.

I personally don't find "they have to be next to each other instead of on top" to be that helpful since diphallism is sometimes drawn that way as well; it doesn't mean they are hemipenes.

Here's the way I look at it:

  • It should be coming out of a scalie, or possibly a marsupial if we're being liberal with the term.
  • It should be coming out of a slit/cloaca, if visible (except for possibly marsupials, I don't know that much about their anatomy tbh)
  • If they look human penises, don't use it. Period.

It may not work in all cases, but I find it a lot easier to break down than "they are next to each other instead of on top".

Semi-related: I found this diagram the other day. It probably won't help clear anything up, but it's really neat to look at.
