It seems to be missing from Wikipedia's list of hand gestures, and I can't find any sort of semi-formal name for it, so how about something like finger_ring_gesture?

How about intercourse_gesture?Unless there are other similarly-themed penetration gestures floating around on danbooru

I grew up hearing it referred to as the "threading the needle" gesture. Dunno if that helps any, but I haven't heard another name for it.

I can't say I've heard a name for the gesture, but I think that is a good name/description of the gesture.

Not bad, but a bit long. What about fuck_finger?

Just saying.

Oh,that could work too

Or finger-fuck_gesture. But for some reason I'm hesitant to use 'coarse words' in tags.

I agree with your hesitance.

Penetration gesture works for me.

Sounds good to me.

I can go with penetration gesture.

Penetration gesture sounds awkward, is there a japanese term or a more specific term out there?

I can't imagine that there isn't.

Of the suggestions, definitely penetration_gesture unless someone digs up the "technical" term.

Please no. It's a common gesture outside of Japan too, and using a Japanese word for it will just make it harder for first-time searchers to find it.

Unless there's a common English term for it, let's not apply something obscure.

Actually I do not think we should use penetration_gesture, as I think that is actually putting emphasis on the wrong aspect of the gesture. I think it is actually more important to emphasize the extended finger and the ring, as the gesture is just as valid with the finger pointing toward the ring and not being inserted into it.

I'll just throw out a some random suggestions to maybe get someone else to come up with a better name: "rod and ring gesture," "rod and hole gesture," "finger stroking," "finger ringing," "sex hands," "screwing hands"

You're still gesturing for penetration.

Yes, but the name itself will make it seem that the actual penetration is necessary for the gesture, when it is not. The more important aspect of the gesture is that both hands are representing genitals, not the act of one genital stabbing the other.

If one genital didn't stab the other, then it would just be ok sign + some variety of pointing or index finger raised.
