>In contrast, the animals most frequently referred to in MGTs were snakes (e.g., black mamba, trouser snake, python), although some birds (e.g., cock), hairy animals (e.g., monkey, donkey wood), and elongated (leg-less) animals or animal parts (e.g., maggot, tail, chicken neck) were also listed.

Even in this research, tail is only mentioned for male genitalia. Zero "female = tail". Only logical explanation I've found is it's from positional sex, as in missionary position results in "getting some leg" (possibly archaic), and doggy position results in "getting some tail". But keeping the dogs tail in the picture would be a little weird, imo.
No search results so far shed any light on this mystery.
