Strange Tags

[NCostello]

I happened upon a story, https://www.literotica.com/s/neighbors-on-a-train

It was a contest winner and had very high ratings.

What I don't understand are the tags associated with the story:
waistband briefs
university washington
mine continued
time passing
alan rolled
rocking train
impending release
eyes kissing
condom rolled
found alan

From everything I know about tags (and I am happy to be corrected), these tags don't make sense -- or am I missing something?

That could be from when tags were implemented. There are weird, random tags like this in stories of that vintage. AFIAK, they were autogenerated based on the text of the story.

Man, Alan had such an interesting life!

 

[NotWise]

Yeah, those tags don't make sense. The tags on his other stories don't make much sense either. It's hard to guess what he was thinking.

Interesting hypothesis. The story is from 2004.... (and the one story from 2010 has no tags at all)

I think some people get it into their heads that tags should represent everything unique and different about their stories. It doesn't occur to them to think that tags are only useful to the extent that readers and potential readers . . . actually use them, which they do primarily when either a) they are searching for stories that suit their interests, or b) they've opened a story and they want to confirm that the story has elements that interest them or are likely to turn them off.

This selection of tags makes no sense from either standpoint. It contains terms that nobody is likely ever to search for, or that give a clear sense of the erotic highlights of the story. "Mine continuing"? I don't know what that means. At first I thought it was "mime continuing," which would have been useful to me as a big "nope," but it wasn't even that.

Time passing…rocking train…eyes kissing…found Alan.

Phenomenal stuff.

There should be a writing contest for best tags.

"Condom rolled." Hmm. Makes me think of the story my wife tells of an early boyfriend. In his haste and inexperience he unrolled it immediately after removing from the wrapper.

"Now how do I put it on?"

 

[TheLobster]

The story is from 2004. I don’t think an average person back then would know how to pick the right tags for the best SEO, considering Google had only existed for like five years.

Poor Mr. Mime is clearly shocked speechless.

And now said guy is wondering why the view counts are climbing.

"Condom Roll" makes me think of something you might get at a very kinky sushi restaurant.

Or one of the stranger Kama Sutra positions.

Makes me wonder who rolled them and put them in the packages.

Made me think of cinnamon rolls.

Come to think of it, my husband is very appreciative when I make them...

Thanks. Now I won't be able to eat a cinnamon roll without choking on it, wondering where the condom is.

In the rolled up area, duh.

 

[Erozetta]

But, yeah, I was thinking less "condom in the cinnamon roll" and more "cinnamon roll is the condom*."

Benefits:

1. Warm
2. Added layer of intimacy
3. No getting hangry during
4. Smells nice
5. Tastes divine
6. Cleanup is just the icing on top! (Possibly literally.)

*Applicable only to oral.

 

[Statius]

Probably made up a bunch just because. Maybe the author doesn't like the idea of tags? I can see someone doing that.

This is so, so wrong. I *liked* cinnamon rolls! Last thing I want is a pork flute in the middle of one!

 

[Erozetta]

For what it's worth, I have run out of tags that fit a story before the ten were up, and made some shit up. One of which was "Difficulty giving up control" and I'll be damned if that tag of desperation didn't get someone to comment "Read this because of the "Difficulty giving up control" tag. Did not disappoint!"

Use the entire tag allotment, even if you just make shit up.

Fingers work, too.

Or a nipple pastry.

Pussy pastry? (Iffy, might invite UTI/yeast infection issues unless it stays only on the mound.)

Dental Danish?

I hate my eyes and my eyes hate me.
