Blowjob (フェラチオ, fellatio) is one of the most common sexual act tags in doujinshi. It covers oral sex performed on male characters. The artistic depiction varies from realistic to stylized, with many artists developing signature techniques for depicting the act. Common visual elements include drool, tongue detail, eye contact, and depth indicators. The tag appears across virtually all genres and is frequently paired with tags like 'ahegao,' 'big breasts,' and 'sole female.'

Shotacon (ショタコン) refers to content featuring young or young-appearing male characters. The term originates from 'Shotaro complex' (after the character Shotaro from Tetsujin 28-go). In doujinshi, this tag indicates the presence of youthful male characters in suggestive or explicit scenarios. Content ranges from innocent to explicit and is a significant demographic category. The tag is the male counterpart to 'lolicon' and often appears in yaoi (male-male) content or in heterosexual scenarios with older female partners.

Yaoi (やおい) refers to male-male romantic or sexual content created primarily for a female audience. In doujinshi, yaoi works feature relationships between male characters and span a wide range from soft romance to explicit content. The genre has its own rich ecosystem of tropes, character dynamics, and artistic conventions. Yaoi is distinct from 'bara,' which is male-male content created by and for gay men. Common related tags include 'males only,' 'seme,' 'uke,' and 'anal.'
