Description

Poses where a character blatantly shows off exposed body parts, often to entice another character or the viewer. Do not tag if the part in question is covered by clothing.

Presenting is always sexual behavior and warrants a minimum rating of [color=yellow]Questionable[/color], although anything blatant enough for this tag tends to be [color=tomato]Explicit[/color].

For more subtle come-ons, consider instead tagging seductive, inviting, or teasing. Inviting and teasing can still complement presenting where appropriate. Seductive can also complement presenting via its bedroom eyes implication or for blatant acts of seduction, but seductive is more suited for erotic poses that do not strongly emphasize sexual anatomy, unlike presenting.

This tag concept was likely derived from lordosis behavior

Not to be confused with

Do not tag if the character is not intentionally presenting.

exposed - tag this instead for characters with no control over their exposed sexual anatomy, perhaps from being bound, stuck, or restrained

casual_exposure, casual_nudity - casual behavior is never presenting

sex, masturbation[sup]1[/sup], penetration, etc. - sexual anatomy that is in use cannot also be "presented"

Sexually provocative viewpoints are not necessarily presenting:

butt_shot, crotch_shot - cropped viewpoints of a character
close-up
- penis_close-up
- vulva_close-up
genital_focus - emphasis on genitals with face visible

[sup]1. Note that a character spreading their vulva, anus, or cloaca seemingly as an act of presenting probably isn't masturbating. This should probably be viewed as an either/or consideration.[/sup]

Subtags

All instances of presenting should also specify the presented anatomy with a presenting_* subtag:
