2 of the 3 references are fine (The Saffire link doesn't refer to this movement), so I declined the speedy deletion, but 90% of this article is promotional and WP:OR, and I think opinions will differ on whether the remaining 10% is notable. - Dank (push to talk) 02:02, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep one, Delete one Keep Slow Sex Movement, delete slow sex. Here's another reference: Salon Slow Sex.  It meets standards for notability and verifiability but I don't see the big deal about it.  The movement is notable, not the sex.  Drawn Some (talk) 03:12, 19 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Merge/redirect: Yikes. That article was a goddamned train wreck. After reading the sources and doing some extra research, it seems like about 1/16 of the content of these articles should be merged into One Taste Urban Retreat Center. The center has received more than enough independent coverage (1, 2, 3, 4, 5), but the movement itself gets only fleeting mentions in any of those stories. — Bdb484 (talk) 03:56, 19 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Agree keep "Slow Sex Movement" delete or merge/redirect "slow sex", a practice of the the slow sex movement. The New York Times William Saffire reference article link [1] doesn't refer to "this movement" but explicitly addressed by Safire is Orgasmic Meditation (a principle practice of the slow sex movement) and Safire also directly references a 2 week prior NY Times article that specifically identifies and features activities of the "slow sex movement"[2] Omed2 (talk) 07:26, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment "A stub is perfectly acceptable. This can be expanded. Give it more time."  Three phrases that guys can use in Wikipedia or in slow sex.  Mandsford (talk) 13:25, 19 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete - the given sources alone do not establish notability. THe NYT article uses the terms just in quotes (for good reasons). We're writing an encyclopedia here - not yellow press articles on sex topics. If better sources were to establish notability, an article might be possible, but that's currently not the case (and imho most likely notability does not exist and hence no such sources can be found anyhow).--Kmhkmh (talk) 22:46, 26 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep Slow Sex Movement and Delete Slow sex, per Drawn Some and Omed2. "Slow sex" is essentially a copy of "Slow Sex Movement". — Becksguy (talk) 06:34, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
