JC's Girls
I have started an FAC for the article about JC's Girls, an organization of Christian women who evangelize to female workers in the sex industry. The reviewers who have contributed to the FAC so far seem sharply divided. Any constructive contributions would be greatly appreciated. Neelix (talk) 20:05, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

Balance
There seems to be an unbalance in focus between same-sex attraction for males and females.

Lesbian is its own article while gay male (or male homosexual) does not have its own article, just a subsection on human male sexuality.

Why does lesbianism get its own article instead of being relegated to a subsection on human female sexuality like with males? Ranze (talk) 07:53, 3 October 2015 (UTC)


 * I agree that male homosexuality should have its own article. As to why there isn't one already, it's because someone hasn't made one yet! *hint* *hint*
 * As an aside, human male sexuality is a horribly incomplete article. I've been looking at that one for a long time, but I never seem to have time to do the research/writing for it. kyledueck (talk) 13:14, 3 October 2015 (UTC)


 * and Kyledueck, see Talk:Gay/Archive 6, which shows that this matter has been discussed before. See the valid reasoning given for why there is a Lesbian article, and why there has yet to be a Male homosexuality article. Flyer22 (talk) 21:43, 7 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Also see Talk:Homosexuality/Archive 23; I noted there, and in the discussion seen at Talk:Gay/Archive 6, that I disagree with "male homosexuality" redirecting to that horrible Human male sexuality article. Flyer22 (talk) 21:56, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

I think the reason for lack of focus, perhaps not just in Wikipedia but perhaps real life too, would be a lack of uniformity of language. Lesbian is a catchy single term and much easier to search for and name an article after than putting together various combinations of words to reflect its opposite-gender counterpart. That doesn't necessarily mean it's a less important topic, but that it's a topic for which it's harder to source properly due to search engine difficulties and due to phrasing differences in those who write on it. Ranze (talk) 00:21, 13 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Ranze, yes, that has been one of the issues, if not the main issue, as indicated in the aforementioned Talk:Gay/Archive 6 discussion. Flyer22 (talk) 00:25, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

Epigenetic theories of homosexuality article
Opinions are needed on the following matter: Talk:Epigenetic theories of homosexuality. It concerns the lack of a heterosexual comparison, what to title the article, and the fact that better sources should be used for the biomedical information (unless there is a WP:MEDDATE aspect preventing better sources).

AfD
Hey guys, the article for Courtship disorder was nominated for deletion. I completed the nom despite thinking that the topic looks to be notable enough for an entry, but I note that the nominator also said that the article was biased. I'm not familiar enough with the topic to know if it is or isn't, hence why I'm posting here. Can one of you take a look? I don't see anything that particularly stands out offhand, but I figured I'd ask. I'm also going to cut/paste this to another WP. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  05:27, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

Shouldn't the penises in Wikipedia be of representative size?
I just noticed that I've overlooked how big the size of the male genitals are in anal sex. Shouldn't the representative picture of a major kind of sex be average sized? Especially for anal sex? (poor girl). Porn sites distort peoples' judgement of what the average size of a penis is, there's no need to further this. I don't feel like doing an analysis of the penis size of every article with a penis but fellatio also has this problem (plus that the woman is fellating a penis that she can barely cram past her lips makes her look like a whore (though her face helps), she could be licking the outside while rubbing it instead). Does the penis-width to lip-width ratio of the drawing have to be so high that it's degrading to the woman? I'm sure that average instance of fellatio in real life is not "can barely fit in the mouth". Sagittarian Milky Way (talk) 19:20, 10 January 2016 (UTC)

Sexuality after spinal cord injury needs reviewers at FAC
Hey all, Featured article candidates/Sexuality after spinal cord injury/archive1 is getting elderly.

Intervention in entry that has been targeted by edit warring
I'd like to solicit Project members to weigh in on the entry Biology and sexual orientation, which has been the target of arbitrary content removal by User:Flyer22 Reborn (though she'd argue it's I who's edit warring. These are the sections of the entry she insists on removing, all of which, as can be seen by anyone, are properly sourced to peer reviewed sources but which for some reason, in my view unsupported by editing guidelines, she considers biased (see Talk Page). Her justification for the continuing removal of the sections for 3 months is the need to establish consensus (she along with two other users want to keep it removed; me and another user have expressed the desire to have it re-inserted). I think both she and I said everything we could in this regard, so please, give us YOUR opinion and help debate advance and true consensus be built. Rafe87 (talk) 20:00, 19 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Anyone wanting to know why I and others keep removing Rafe87's poorly sourced material can see this section. And it was already explained to him that peer review by itself is not the same thing as literature review or systematic review; WP:MEDRS prefers the latter two. Primary sources like the ones he's adding are discouraged for very good reasons, noted at WP:Primary sources and WP:MEDRS. The next stop is WP:ANI if he continues to edit war. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 20:17, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Under your argument, most of that entry - in fact, of most entries on Wikipedia - would be deleted since most don't consist of "systemic reviews". You're policy shopping to keep out content you dislike. Rafe87 (talk) 05:22, 20 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Regardless of what you assume about me (which is dead wrong, I assure you), if the content was well-sourced, I wouldn't mind it. It's already been explained to you that bad or otherwise poor sourcing in an article is not a license for more bad or otherwise poor sourcing. I do not like the current state of the Biology and sexual orientation article at all, but I am just one person working on, or looking after, these types of articles; there are not enough others doing this kind of work, and I do not have the amount of time or enthusiasm I once had for Wikipedia. It's also already been explained to you to that this type of content needs better sourcing. Most of the other material on Wikipedia does not need this type of better sourcing for reasons that should be obvious; South Park, for example, is an entirely different ball of wax.

Please take a look at Sexual jealousy
Would someone from this project please have a look at the recent changes made to this article? There's some kind of school assignment involving it, and I'd like a review to see if the edits made by the students are appropriate. I've had a few minor problems on Sexual suggestiveness with students from the same program, so I think a closer look at Sexual jealousy is warranted. Thanks. BMK (talk) 22:33, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

Sadomasochism article
The sadomasochism article is in a poor state at the moment; large parts of it read like an essay, and lack any detailed source citations.

"Rape is not sex"
Lately I've gotten the impression that the proposition "Rape is not sex", "Consensual sex is just sex. There is no such thing as 'nonconsensual sex.' That's called rape." is going to win the prerogative of interpretation on the web and it also has made its way into mainstream media (The Guardian) and sex guidebooks for teens. Is this already sufficiently relevant to be mentioned in the related articles? --KnightMove (talk) 09:42, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure I understand the question. Can you give an example of what you'd want it to say? —PermStrump  ( talk )  15:57, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Well, possibly a subsection in Rape mentioning the existence of this position, and explaining it would be adequate... or not. --KnightMove (talk) 17:56, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Rape definitions should include legal definitions though, shouldn't they, since that is what medical professionals, police, laws, courts, and victims advocates use, and so, the legal definitions are what have the most impact.Awolnetdiva (talk) 19:36, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Well legally rape is defined literally. The law rarely piggy-backs off the definitions of other words and this is no exception. I remember finding the attorney general's officially recommended definition somewhere prompting some heated MRA debate (it specified penetration of the victim as being necessary, which has certain obvious implications).


 * Anyway, this seems more about the definition of sex than about rape. Whether the term sex is inclusive of the term rape, actually has no effect on the definition of rape what so ever. This is because examples of rape would still be applied to rape and no longer applied to sex, so even, if the words used in the definition of rape are changed, the semantic stays the same and the definition's words are only changing because the definition of the words used in the definition has thusly changed. Make sense? xD Eaterjolly (talk) 04:44, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

Take a look at a draft?
Can someone take a look at Draft:Scales of Sexual Orientation? It looks like it should be good, but I'd like someone familiar with this stuff and the sourcing needed to take a peek. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  08:45, 14 November 2016 (UTC)


 * It needs work. I don't like the over-reliance on very old sources either. And since the Kinsey scale article addresses different scales, and the Kinsey scale is the most prominent of the scales, I'm not even sure we need a "Scales of sexual orientation" article. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 00:16, 15 November 2016 (UTC)


 * And this is why I wanted to check here - it looked good to me, but I figured that someone more familiar with this stuff would be able to spot any issues with the article. Thanks! :) Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  07:31, 16 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Tokyogirl79, as you may have seen, Robert McClenon passed the draft to become a Wikipedia article. The article is a poor essay, but I'm really not motivated to significantly improve it. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 00:45, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

Debate about NoFap and Masturbation
Hello, Talk:Masturbation is a bit of a wide-ranging debate about whether NoFap is based on spurious medical claims, whether it is a relevant cultural phenomenon, or if is a soap-box in the sense of WP:SOAP, and mostly, about whether a paragraph on it should be included in the Masturbation article.

Jews and Harems
There's currently a discussion ongoing on the Harem article based on changes made to the section "Slavery and the Harem System in the Ottoman Empire" The questionable insertion is as follows:

"Andrew Handler has written that Jews were the "main suppliers" of eunuchs.[21] In the medieval Ottoman Empire, Jews were one of the few groups who could move and trade between the Christian and Islamic worlds.[22][23] Although slave merchants were officially supposed to be Muslims, "unofficial" Jewish traders also participated.[24]When Islamic legal scholars prohibited the practice of castration, it became customary for Jews and Christians to carry out castration in areas outside Christian dominion.[19]"

Consensus on the talk page has unanimously been that the insertion is undue, but the editor who added it has refused to remove it. My view is that the section is completely undue and seems very sketchy, but I'm unfamiliar with the details regarding Judaism in the Ottoman Empire, so would need help from more experienced editors regarding balancing the section. Thanks Drsmoo (talk) 02:02, 24 April 2017 (UTC)

Naturism
I've noticed that the articles on Naturism and Freikörperkultur (FKK) are included in WikiProject Sexuality. Someone has asked on the Freikörperkultur Talk page whether the article should be in this project, as "FKK is a movement that is about nakedness without a direct relationship to sexuality". Indeed, this assertion is made in the article. In general, there is a widely (but not universally) held belief that naturism is and should be non-sexual. Are there any opinions as to whether Naturism articles should be included in this project? --Polly Tunnel (talk) 11:56, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

Cuckoldry as fetish ....
So, currently, there is only a single sentence on the topic of Cuckoldry as a fetish on the article for said. I posted about an expansion here, but there is no response, thus far. As there is now a decent body of scholarly work on the topic, I think it would be worthwhile to either expand that section or start another article as the main one really focuses on the etymology, history, etc., rather than contemporary sexual subcultures. I'm leaning towards branching off to another article, but thought I would throw it out there for consideration. That and ask for any other thoughts on the expansion.

Disambiguation links on pages tagged by this wikiproject
Wikipedia has many thousands of wikilinks which point to disambiguation pages. It would be useful to readers if these links directed them to the specific pages of interest, rather than making them search through a list. Members of WikiProject Disambiguation have been working on this and the total number is now below 20,000 for the first time. Some of these links require specialist knowledge of the topics concerned and therefore it would be great if you could help in your area of expertise.

Speedy deletion nomination of 2suit


A tag has been placed on 2suit, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, such as at Articles for deletion. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. 65.94.42.219 (talk) 04:54, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I have removed the speedy deletion nomination tag for 2suit for two reasons:'''
 * In the nine years since it has been recreated, editors have added additional information. To speedily delete this before having a chance to move the material from subsequent edits into another article would certainly lose relevant & useful information.
 * After nine years, this article has reached WP:EDITCONSENSUS. A speedy deletion would thus violate the Wikipedia policy on consensus. This requires a fresh nomination for deletion.

Pattern of removing sexual violence allegations in intros to biographical articles
One thing I've noticed as I've browsed the Wikipedia pages of various public figures who have been accused of sexual violence during the movement is that, quite often, there is a section of the article devoted to the allegations, but the allegations are not mentioned in the intro, and edits I make adding them are often reverted (e.g. Woody Allen).

I'm not sure whether this is a manifestation of Gender bias on Wikipedia, or of editors of a given Wikipedia page being more likely to support the person the page is about, or just me being in a social bubble where allegations of sexual violence against a public figure matter more than they do to the average person. Does anyone else have thoughts on this matter, and if you agree it's a problem, suggestions for addressing it? - Sdkb (talk) 05:37, 16 September 2018 (UTC)
 * More data needed. If there's a pattern, is it coming from one user, or a small group of users? Can you list a half dozen or more articles in which you've seen this pattern?  Regardless what is happening, what should happen, imho, is that they should be handled on a case-by-case basis; i.e., what happens at Woody Allen is irrelevant to what happens at Harvey Weinstein or Asia Argento.  Each article should follow the recommendations of WP:LEAD in summarizing the body of the article, lending due weight to the much shorter synthesis that is the lead section.  If it's a big enough part of the body of the article, then it rates a mention in the lead.  Also, there may be an issue in some cases of WP:RECENTISM, especially if there's an ongoing, or newsy quality to the allegations.  My feelings about that would change if there is something major to report: someone fired from their job, jailed or convicted of a crime, and so on. In most cases, that would certainly rate a mention in the lead section.  But there should be no attempt to militate for some kind of false consistency across different articles, by having them all mention (or not mention) events of this nature.

BDSM Culture Task Force or WikiProject
Having conferred with a Leather historian amongst others regarding the amount of treatment which BDSM receives as both a unique public sphere and as an historical context, I would like to suggest that a task force be created to contextualize BDSM within Wikipedia - that being said, this may be too much to include under the umbrella of Sexology and sexuality ; the practices themselves, yes, but the history and culture may require their own BDSM WikiProject.

"Human Male Sexuality" page has MRA language. Promotes rape culture and promotes mistruths.
keep trying to change it, but someone keeps changing my edits back.

This is extremely biased entry that misinterpreted scientific studies, and at times outright lied about the results. If you check the existing citations and read the studies, this will be confirmed. Additionally I removed language that was harmful to women (with no citations and riddled with grammar mistakes), promoted rape as a strategy to get more parters, and parts that misinterpreted studies to promote veiled and implied racism.

Particularly offensive parts are until "Male sexually violent strategies" where it states things like: "There are many sexual strategies that males can employ in order to gain mates. This includes sexual coercion" "Sexual coercion functions to increase the chance of a female mating with a male, and decrease the chance that the female will mate with another male" and whatever weird statement this means. This is a theory that hasn't been proven and they misinterpret the source they site: "Among other behaviors, this means that men are more likely to favour chastity in a woman, as this way a male can be more certain that her offspring are his own. Such a strategy is seen in males, and maternity is never doubted by the female, and so a chaste male is not highly valued by women.[citation needed] However, for men, female chastity confirms paternity, causing the male to compromise his sexual strategies in order to select a chaste mate."

Whoever edited my changes back didn't change back the coded racist part about people from low-income areas being more likely to rape under "factors influencing male sexual behavior" so I believe this is a deliberate attack against women written from a MRA perspective. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.194.243.213 (talk) 03:19, 7 December 2018 (UTC)

Question about Portal:Nudity is linking to Portal:Sexuality
Hello,

I am new to this editing thing, so I hope I do it correctly... Please let me know if I should have used an other way to ask this question.

I noticed "Portal:Nudity" is automatically forwarded to Portal:Sexuality. I think that is not correct. Naturists emphasize that naturism is social nudity and has nothing to do with sexuality. Is it possible to create a Portal:Nudity landing page and then give a choice for continue reading about naturism, or sexuality, or any other relevant subject?

Thanks for the help.

Utah Polygamy and Law Since 2000
I'm wondering if someone from this WikiProject could take a look at this article and assess it. It was created by a student editor as part of Wikipedia:Wiki Ed/Brigham Young University/HIST 221 - Gonzales - The United States Since 1877 (Winter 2019), and student moved the article to the mainspace on their own without submitting it for WP:AFC review. There are some WP:MOS and other similar errors which can be cleaned up, but my main concerns are that it's a WP:CONTENTFORK which might not need it's own stand-alone article. I don't believe the university course this student created the article for has ended; so, it's possible that they are still going to get graded on their work; at the same time, it's been added to the mainspace which means that it probably shouldn't be left as is just because it's part of a student editing project. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:45, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

Merge WikiProject Pedophilia Article Watch into WP:Sex

Yes I get it - it's a play on P.A.W. - but pedophilia does not seem like subject matter that ought to have an endearing logo attached. Also paw prints are used by several groups, including bears and furries, whose members generally would not want to be associated with pedophilia.

I consider this as a meta-issue and find it appropriate to discuss. Currently, I am in a discussion at Talk:Neymar. But that's not my issue here, RFC is the place to go for that.

Remove Macalda di Scaletta from the Sex Work Task Force
Macalda di Scaletta wasn't a sex worker. I think the confusion came about because of different meanings of the word "courtesan." Macalda was a courtesan in the old sense of being a female courtier associated with a royal court, not the modern sense of sex worker. While her biography is rife with sexual scandal, there is no basis for classifying her as a sex worker. The sense of "courtesan" as a royal mistress doesn't apply, either (she tried to become a mistress of the king, but he wasn't having any of it). I'll have to switch the category of courtesan to courtier to remove the confusion. Please remove her from this project and task force. Johanna-Hypatia (talk) 10:59, 29 July 2019 (UTC)


 * You seem to misunderstand the use of the word courtesan, as used in relation to what the French call Demimondes. They were women who furthered their careers, social standing or bank balance by offering sexual favours. To compare them to modern sex workers if fundamentally flawed, which is why they are called courtesans, not sex workers, prostitutes etc. Your changing of the category is inconsistent with the lead of the article where is is described as a courtesan. --John B123 (talk) 16:42, 29 July 2019 (UTC)


 * Speaking of misunderstanding, John, the comparison to sex workers wasn't mine. Someone from the Sex Work Task Force added the article to it. I was writing to correct that misunderstanding and asking for it to be removed. As I noted in my post above, the word courtesan can have different meanings. I translated the article from Italian. The original calls her "una dama di compagnia e cortigiana." The former term means courtier, and in my translation I rendered it "lady-in-waiting," which she was.


 * When I originally translated "cortigiana" as "courtesan," that choice was based on the English term being the etymological cognate of the Italian one. In retrospect, it wasn't the best word choice to avoid misunderstanding. Italian cortigiano literally means 'courtier', and its feminine form cortigiana also means 'female courtier'; i.e., an aristocrat who takes regular part in royal court doings. That's what Macalda was. The word cortigiana has the same dual meaning in Italian, so context is needed to disambiguate what it means.


 * She tried to use her sexuality on King Pedro, but he didn't accept it from her. Her political influence at court instead derived from the favors owed by the king to her husband Alaimo, as well as her baronial status in her own right. Her attempted use of sexuality on the king was a failure. Therefore she doesn't fit the role of demimondaine that you described.


 * That leaves "courtier" as the only word choice to remove confusion. Maybe Macalda can stay within the Sexology and Sexuality project, because she made a name for herself defying conventional sexual mores with her behavior, but "sex work" misses the mark. It was recreational for her, not work. Johanna-Hypatia (talk) 04:35, 30 July 2019 (UTC)


 * I added the sex-work template on the basis you had included Macalda di Scaletta in the Category:Italian courtesans and from the first sentence of the article "Sicilian baroness, warrior woman, lady-in-waiting, and courtesan". It would also appear from your initial post "modern sense of sex worker" that you are using a very narrow definition of sex worker: sex worker = prostitute. Whilst prostitutes are sex workers, not all sex workers are prostitutes.


 * Also worth mentioning, the tagging of articles with WikiProject templates shows that project has an interest in that article. It does not define the article as adding an article to a category does. For example, anti-prostitution campaigner Julie Bindel is tagged by the sex-work-task-force, but that in no way is a suggestion she is a sex worker.


 * Looking at the Italian it:Categoria:Cortigiane, which the Italian version of the article is included in, it is linked via wikidata to the English Category:Courtesans. With one exception, where there is an article in both languages, the articles are included in the categories Italian Cortigiane and English Courtesans (or sub-category). This includes Dorothea Jordan who was Anglo-Irish and Maria Versfelt who was Dutch. As neither of these were connected with Italy, the ambiguity over cortigiana doesn't apply. it:Categoria:Cortigiane also has as a sub-category it:Categoria:Etere (Hetaira), further suggesting the category should be taken as Courtesan not Courtier. As the article is mainly unreferenced, I can see no evidence that the categorisation of the Italian article was incorrect.


 * I would ask you comply with the WP:BRD guidelines whilst this is discussed rather than reverting. The general principle is that the article remains unchanged until discussions are complete. --John B123 (talk) 17:15, 30 July 2019 (UTC)

Proposed New Article
I plan on creating a new article called “Sexuality under Colonialism” because colonialism has shaped the way we think about every part of society, including sexual relations. This new article will be important in helping people understand that pervasive norms about sexuality are neither inevitable nor natural. Rather, cultural ideas surrounding sexuality are incredibly diverse across time and space, and it is crucial that people have access to knowledge about what is possible, despite historical erasure. Here are some potential sources:

Staff. “Africa Must Decolonise the Violent Patriarchy Solidified by White Colonialism.” The Black Youth Project, May 17, 2018. http://blackyouthproject.com/africa-must-decolonise-the-violent-patriarchy-solidified-by-white-colonialism/. This source will help me understand how colonization brought western concepts about gender roles to colonized countries and how these ideas impacted relationships between men and women for years to come. It will help me learn how power dynamics within sexual and romantic relationships transformed before and after colonization.

Gill, Colin. “Transcending the Binary: Gender and Colonialism.” The Radical Notion, October 31, 2017. http://www.theradicalnotion.com/gender-colonialism/. This source will help me understand how western concepts of gender conflicted with other cultures that understood gender as more of a spectrum than as a binary. It will help me explore cultures that collectively respected non-binary people, and examine how these cultures were impacted by colonization.

Val Kalende, for Think Africa Press. “Africa: Homophobia Is a Legacy of Colonialism.” The Guardian. Guardian News and Media, April 30, 2014. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/apr/30/africa-homophobia-legacy-colonialism. This source will help me understand how homosexual relationships were stigmatized in some countries as a result of colonization. It will help me explore to what extent heteronormativity was a colonial import.

Cogswell, Betty E. "Variant Family Forms and Life Styles: Rejection of the Traditional Nuclear Family." The Family Coordinator 24, no. 4 (1975): 391-406. doi:10.2307/583026. This source will help me understand the possibilities of families beyond a family unit tied together by marriage. For example, it used to be customary in many cultures for a child to be raised by a community.

Sexual practices defined as paraphilias
I apologise if this is inappropriate here. A number of sexual practices, including Urolagnia, and Coprophilia, are currently defined as paraphilias. This seems unduly judgemental to me, however other participating editors unanimously thought it correct, preferring medical texts, to the O.E.D., as Urolangnia is a medical issue. Is it so? (Talk:Urolagnia).  ♥ L'Origine du monde ♥  ♥ Talk ♥ 15:36, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
 * What separates what is normal and what is a fetish/paraphilia is a very grey line and highly subjective. What I may think is in the normal spectrum you may think is a fetish or vice versa. To avoid continual changing of the articles and their categorisation to suit differing opinions, we need some sort reference. The only reference points for these articles are from the medical point of view so we need to accept that. That said, these medical opinions seem to be written by people with a very vanilla outlook on sex. --John B123 (talk) 17:32, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
 * You appear to have already raised this issue twice at Talk:Urolagnia. As you admit, other editors did not agree with you. I did not participate, but I would have agreed with them, as these are paraphilias per reliable sources. Don't forum shop. -Crossroads- (talk) 04:44, 3 October 2019 (UTC)

New BDSM article
Hello, I have created an article about small penis humiliation and it is currently in the list of drafts. The page was protected 12 years ago, so I can't create this article that I believe is relevant enough for Wikipedia.

I'm here to ask someone to check my draft and rate the quality and relevance of the article, please. The whole article has decent references to prove the relevance of the fetish.

There are over 270,000 SPH-themed videos on xvideos, for example. I think this fetish is notable enough in the BDSM scene. It is certainly more notable than some fetishes that already have an article here.

In my opinion ,the fact that there's only the one side presented here ,might give the 'wrong' message to young people and of course could make Wikipedia look unreliable  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Georgeof1001 (talk • contribs) 20:48, 18 March 2020 (UTC)
 * welcome to Wikipedia! I've not heard of this day. Are there any reliable sources (not Facebook or Reddit, for example) that show this a "real" day?  Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) 20:51, 18 March 2020 (UTC)


 * Thank you! Yes, it is a well known Holiday, in Europe mostly, not less reliable sources from other Wiki artiles, like MSN, Bild, and many others. With a quick google search , one can  find endless references from known media, still , it's a surprise that there is no article yet here.Georgeof1001 (talk) 17:31, 19 March 2020 (UTC)


 * I can't say I've heard of it before. A google search brings up lots of results, but most are not what would be considered reliable sources. However, there are probably enough RS's to back up an article. You could also argue that for the sake of equality on WP, we need the article to balance Steak and Blowjob Day. --John B123 (talk) 17:45, 19 March 2020 (UTC)


 * Exactly ! We need the article to balance Steak and bj day.I was hoping to get some help or prompt editors to create it. There are many reliable sources out there, actually more sources than steak and bj had about when it was created. Georgeof1001 (talk) 22:06, 19 March 2020 (UTC)


 * Hi !

There are already links on page User:Georgeof1001/Cake and Cunnilingus Day, also part of the text for the article, but I don't know how to post it, if you want to help because I'm not relevant,it would be great Georgeof1001 (talk) 22:04, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

this is ravinesh rds gmt 11:53

the image is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Femdom_at_Eros_Pyramide.jpg including two people doing inappropriate act. in the page of wikipedia censorship there is written that wikipedia is not censored but we don't use images of sex instead of we use 20 th century paintings or animated but not actual images which are actually part of pornography. wikipedia is an encyclopedia it must not be like other bad sites which show this. please think maturely about the impact of it on >18 age group as there are millions of those users all over the world using wikipedia .in my opinion you must replace it by either a painting or an animation so that it may not impact the visitors as well as the topic of the page. thank you


 * Hello revinesh. It is not required, but I encourage you to create your own Wikipedia account as it makes so many tasks much easier. (I see now that you in fact do have an account. My bad.) ¶ I doubt the image in question harms adolescents, particularly since it is included in the context of encyclopedia articles, Dominatrix, Master/slave (BDSM), and Sex show. ¶ At the same time, on Wikipedia it is certainly appropriate and legitimate to discuss whether or not an image should be used for an article. Relevant Wikipedia policies include Offensive images and Offensive material ("Wikipedia articles may contain offensive words and images, but only for a good reason"), including "Not censored" does not give special favor to offensive content. I am not personally offended by the image in question, but one editor's experience is not what's important. From Offensive images: "... a potentially offensive image—one that would be considered vulgar or obscene by typical Wikipedia readers[nb 1]—should be included only if it is treated in an encyclopedic manner i.e. only if its omission would cause the article to be less informative, relevant, or accurate, and no equally suitable alternative is available. ¶ Note 1. Here a 'typical Wikipedia reader' is defined by the cultural beliefs of the majority of the website readers (not active editors) that are literate in an article's language. Clarifying this viewpoint may require a broad spectrum of input and discussion, as cultural views can differ widely."

specific image that could be misleading for teenagers
THE THING I WANTED TO DISSCUSS IS THAT THE IMAGE
 * https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d9/BDSM_slaves.jpg

IS MISLEADING FOR TEENAGERS THAT TEENAGERS CAN COPY IT WHICH COULD BE DANGEROUS FOR THEM. AND ALSO ONE ANTISOCIAL ELEMENT COULD IMITATE THIS AFTER VEIWING IT BY MAKING SEXUAL ASSAULT. I WANT TO SAY THAT THERE IS A CHANCE OF SERIOUS ISSUES CAN ARISE BY THIS IF A RAW YOUNG TEENAGER UNINTENTIONALLY CAN MAKE SEXUAL CRIME SUCH AS HARASSMENT OR SEXUAL ASSAULT OR IMITATION OF ACT WITHOUT THE WILL OF ANOTHER PERSON. THE ESPECIALLY FOR A MALE TEENAGER WITH >18 UNDER LESS MATURITY COULD ATTEMPT THIS FOR FUN WITHOUT THE WILL OF FEMALE WHICH COULD BE HAZARDOUS ASSAULT. THE CASE CAN BE THIS SERIOUS SO I PREFER YOU TO USE AN ANIMATED OR 20 TH CENTURY PAINTING WITHOUT HARMING THE CONTENT AS WELL AS A SOCIAL ISSUES FOR ALL OVER THE WORLD USERS.

 * (1) I suggest not writing in ALL CAPS since most people interpret it as SHOUTING. From the Wikipedia article, All caps:

"Studies have been conducted on the readability and legibility of all caps text. Scientific testing from the 20th century onward has generally indicated that all caps text is less legible and readable than lower-case text. In addition, switching to all caps may make text appear hectoring and obnoxious for cultural reasons, since all-capitals is often used in transcribed speech to indicate that the speaker is shouting."
 * (2) I see what you mean about that BDSM image. I fully support safe-sane-and-consesual BDSM as a legitimate and healthy form of sexual expression, exploration of relationship dynamics, etc., and I do not personally find the image to be offensive. But, as you know, it's how the average Wikipedia visitor would feel about the image that matters. I do not know the procedure for requesting a deletion of an image, but I bet another editor will know.  - Mark D Worthen PsyD   (talk)   (I'm a man—traditional male pronouns are fine.)  22:34, 17 July 2020 (UTC)


 * The image is not hosted on Wikipedia so it can't be deleted from here., you would have to request the deletion of the image at Wikimedia Commons. Whether it is eligible for deletion there is doubtful, since it's used in several articles both here and at other language versions of Wikipedia, so make sure that you read up on their deletion policies before requesting deletion there.
 * I have removed the signature from the heading of this post and added it after Ravinesh rds's post. Please don't sign the heading, only the post. Thanks! --bonadea contributions talk 18:47, 18 July 2020 (UTC)

Who could help me out in the future?

 * Ask here on this talk page. The conversation will probably be clinical and suitable for everyone, but if necessary, someone can arrange for a sub-conversation somewhere.
 * If you want to get started on any Wikipedia topic, this one included, the place to begin is by collecting a bibliography. Perhaps start by creating a list of citations on your userpage. Wikipedia only publishes content from sources so the only possible place to begin is by collecting the best possible sources on this topic for what you want to share.  Blue Rasberry   (talk)  17:13, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
 * OK, I will do so, then. (I'm foreign) What do you mean exactly by: a list of citations? PsychoPinball (talk) 17:16, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is a summary of what other reputable sources say. Every Wikipedia article has a list of citations at the bottom. See for example - Child_development. The sources that anyone cite comes before the ideas of what to add to an article, and without sources, it is not possible to add anything to Wikipedia.
 * You do not have to have a list, and instead you could just have one source that you like. However, most people find it easier to consider and use a few sources. Ask questions if you have them.  Blue Rasberry   (talk)  20:51, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Ah, now I get it what is ment by "citations". I do understand how that works, my only problem was the translation of the word citation. My English ain't all that bad but you can't know everything, can ya? Anyway, most of my edits will be small and I don't intent to make major changes so I guess, with that in mind, most of my edits won't need citations.

Sandbox organiser
Hi all

I've been working on a tool for the past few months that you may find useful. Sandbox organiser is a set of tools to help you better organise your draft articles and other pages in your userspace. It also includes areas to keep your to do lists, bookmarks, list of tools. You can customise your sandbox organiser to add new features and sections. Once created you can access it simply by clicking the sandbox link at the top of the page. You can create and then customise your own sandbox organiser just by clicking the button on the page. All ideas for improvements and other versions would be really appreciated.

Huge thanks to PrimeHunter and NavinoEvans for their work on the technical parts, without them it wouldn't have happened.

There is a redirect discussion going on about whether Gender and Sexual Minorities should redirect to the LGBT article (which discusses the term as a more inclusive form of the LGBT(QIAP+) acronym), or the Sexual minority article (and a proposal to move that page to Gender and sexual minorities or something similar). I thought this would be of interest to this WikiProject, and perhaps have the eyes of someone who knows more about sexology and terminology than I do (AFAIK the term "sexual minorities" often includes gender minorities in sexology research, although I could be wrong). --Bangalamania (talk) 13:24, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

Wiki Science Competition 2021
Hi. I am here to inform you all that Wiki Science Competition 2021 has started last week. It will last until November 30th or December 15th, depending on the areas.

WSC is organized every two years, and people from all countries can upload files (the goal are the international prizes) but specific national pages are also set up, for example for the USA or Ireland or New Zealand. Such national competitions (when they exist) act as an additional incentive to participate.

We expect a sitenotice to show up for all readers here on enWikipedia as well, but probably during the second half of the month when all countries with national competitions are open for submission at the same time. In the meantime, if you are planing to upload some nice descriptive photos, infographics or video files to Wikimedia Commons, please consider submitting them using the WSC interface, you might win a prize.--Alexmar983 (talk) 16:13, 10 November 2021 (UTC)

Project name
It may sound like a dumb question, but have you ever considered shortening the project name? Wouldn't WikiProject Sex stand for both meanings, sexology and sexuality? —Est. 2021 (talk · contribs) 07:26, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

I respectfully disagree with your proposal. Sexuality is about human experience, expression, and behavior. Sexology is the academic and scientific study of that behavior. Sex, on the other hand, is about biology, including in animals. It is not about sexual behavior itself, but rather is a trait of an animal.

User script to detect unreliable sources
I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like and turns it into something like
 * John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.
 * John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.

It will work on a variety of links, including those from cite web, cite journal and doi.

The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.

Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.

Can we pick a single naming convention for all of the above? Considering sexology itself the study of sexuality, I would propose Sex or Sexuality, the latter being more comprehensive IMHO, but I'm open to your proposals. Thanks. Est. 2021 (talk · contribs) 02:55, 15 October 2022 (UTC)

Project-independent quality assessments
Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a class parameter to WikiProject banner shell, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.

No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to WikiProject banner shell, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.

However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass WPBannerMeta a new custom parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.

Help?
Can someone help? An editor on a page (SafeSport) dealing with an organization meant to address sexual abuse continually deletes material they appear to dislike. No cogent reason is given. Only baseless words, and baseless accusations of vandalism. Efforts at conversation on this have been unavailing. Thoughts as to how to proceed would be helpful. Thank you.

Merge discussion at Talk:Incel
Hello, per point 3 of WP:PM, I am notifying this project of the merge discussion at Talk:Incel. This is based on a just recently closed AfD (see page of incels.is). The AfD closed with a consensus to merge, but since that consensus, I have increased the incels.is article a lot in sourcing and content though, so a merge may now not be necessary. 2001:48F8:3004:FC4:48EA:35CE:A536:B342 (talk) 20:40, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

Better description at Handjob article
I would like a better description than “manual stimulation… …by another person” and replace it with “stimulation… …by the hands of another person” since “manual” is used twice in the intro’s sentence as well as to explain what “manual” means for “manual sex”.

Help at Fellatio article
The intro’s definition for this article describes it as “…an oral sex act involving a person stimulating the penis of another by using the mouth, throat, or both.” Not everyone is able to perform this act with the throat included due to the potential gag reflex. I was wondering if it’s possible to remove the last three words of that? If not, that’s okay. Autisticeditor 20 (talk) 19:11, 2 August 2023 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure that's necessary. It does say "or" plus the article already includes the part about the gag reflex. Biofase flame |<small style="background-color:black;color:white"> stalk 20:37, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
 * I understand however, it’s just that the throat it is not technically part of the actual mouth. Autisticeditor 20 (talk) 21:05, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
 * I don't actually care either way and the way the sentence is worded sounds awkward as well. I think a rewording is in order as for some the aspect of the throat is important in causing gagging as a part of humiliation.

German editors? Pedophilia article controversy
Any German speaking editors may be interested in what is unfolding on the German Pädophilie article and talk page. I noticed that the DE pedophile page claims that 50% of pedophiles are homosexual, citing a powerpoint by the Dunkelfeld project. This is false. It has been on the article for about 6 years. The dunkelfeld data refers to their sample of 241 pedophiles within their program. It does not aim to be a representative sample of all pedophiles in general. I noted that the only estimate carried out was done by Kurt Freund and Watson in 1996 and put the prevalence of homosexuality among pedophiles at 8%. One user BurghardRichter provided significant reasoning as to why this was likely the case. Another user, Andrea, has been reverting to keep the 50% claim on the article, claiming that I am simply biased and trying to hide the truth. Users Seeler09 and Itti have also done the same and are now asking for page protection to stop my editing there. Because my German is terrible, it is difficult for me to edit there. Any German speaking editors (or those who edit DE Wikipedia) may wish to weigh in there because citing guidelines is trickier on DE Wiki. At the very least, I suggested they remove the claim of 50%, and just have no estimate since Andrea seemed to complain about Freund as a source because she didn't like him. Sigh. It feels like guidelines on that DE article are arbitrary or not enforced, instead it's just majority ruling against people who are trying to be accurate.

Request for input on Declaration of Sexual Pleasure
I recently created the page declaration of sexual pleasure (Talk:Declaration of Sexual Pleasure), but was given notice of a speedy deletion, I assume because I quoted the contents of the declaration. The inclusion of a list of rights is done in other, existing Wikipedia pages (see: Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, Declaration of Sexual Rights). I have removed the contested content for now and have contested the deletion. Without the inclusion of the list of rights (or a close paraphrasing), it's difficult to engage with them properly. Is there a way I can quote from the document so that readers can understand the specific declarations, without copyright infringement? Thanks! Plantbella (talk) 14:25, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

Major problems with Effects of human sexual promiscuity
This article seems like a mess of SYNTH and neutrality. Take the large sections on increasing prevalence of STDs, but the original sources don't attribute this to promiscuity, nor discuss the 'effects of promiscuity'.

In addition, a bunch of primary source studies are being used to argue correlation is causation. E.g. 'high number of partners = depression' and not 'depressed people might have more unstable relationships and thus more partners'.

I'm wondering if this article should be merged/deleted. Or are there decent RS that properly discuss the topic? Zenomonoz (talk) 00:08, 31 January 2024 (UTC)


 * A user actually recommended this should be merged with promiscuity and this makes a lot of sense to me. Zenomonoz (talk) 00:09, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
