Non-penetrative sex

why is fingering listed under non-penetrative sex? how is inserting ones finger into an orifice anything but penetration????99.153.29.112 (talk) 17:11, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It was grouped under non-penetrative sex because it is listed on that page as being a form of non-penetrative sex.
However, looking at the other pages on topic, definitions of what is penetrative sex seem to vary - some just define penetration with sexual anatomy, others include use of other body parts. (Also, apparently, not all fingering involves penetration.) Zodon (talk) 21:40, 8 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment

Dear user:qrc2006: I am one of the contributors to the

Wikipedia:WikiProject Sexology and Sexuality
, and as such, spend a majority of my time on sexology and sexuality articles. You might like to help with that project if you have an interest in the subject.

We also have a portal

sexuality
that you could help with as it needs updating on a regular basis. The featured article needs to change oaccasionally, as does the Featured Picture and the "Did you know" section.

The problem with what you are attempting with your template is that the field of sexology and sexuality (abbreviated to "sex" in your template) is very, very broad. And that is limiting it to human sexuality, and not including "sex" related topics of other animals.

Look at these to get an idea. Look at

List of BDSM topics, Category:Sex education and of course category:sex
.

How your template could represent all of these is hard to imagine. But, give it your best shot. Atom 21:47, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

everything has a hierarchy to it, perhaps the box could just refer to top or mid level hierarchy pages and let those pages be used for directing users to low level details pages. Though a lot of these higher order pages probably would need to be created first. Mathmo Talk 18:55, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Possibilities to add

It's test. I could't post a message...

Scope too broad?

It seems to me that this template tries to cover way too much ground on such a wide ranging topic as sex. In such a state, it doesn't appear to provide the comprehensiveness that a navigation template should. The list of articles to the right of the five main groups are all limited to varying degrees. Also, the template for the most part excludes aspects of sex and reproduction for non-human organisms. I think a template such as this could be the start of something very good, so I'd like to propose that it be split into five separate templates, one each to cover the five main groups to the left. Thoughts? Robotman1974 17:26, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There is already a template that covers
sex positions, so I'm going to take those out of this template. Robotman1974 16:41, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply
]
However, I think linking to the basic topic of sexual positions would be worthwhile. Subsolar 04:08, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The whole anatomy section is redundant as (literally) any part of the body will already be covered by a sexual fetish. --
Philip Laurence 02:20, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply
]
Yes, but some parts are more clearly or directly sexual than others. Subsolar 04:08, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think this is again becoming too large, and should be reduced to just the top-level topics, say

  • Acts and positions
  • Ethics
  • History
  • Identity
  • In Society
  • Law
  • Physiology
  • Pornography and erotica
  • Paraphilia and fetishes
  • Relationships
  • Reproduction
  • Sex work and prostitution

Maybe some of those could be split or combined, but could we agree that approximately that many topics would be appropriate? There are hundreds of sex-related topics, we can't have them all there. Subsolar (talk) 01:28, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see how these new categories would improve the current shorter categorization. "Paraphilias & Fetishes" is fine as a parent category (the content is too vast for a general template such as this). "Pornography and erotica" would mean the elimination of the "Entertainment" section which in turn would eliminate a place for "Sex toys". How many articles exist on "Sex work and prostitution" to warrant a section?... I can't think of any. Also, "Physiology" & "Reproduction" are of similar clinical and scientific ilk to be covered in the same breath... whereas the removal of a health and education section is puzzling. Redblueball (talk) 16:30, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

BDSM

I think too much of importance given to this. Changing to "Feelings"(or anything such), and include orgasm, sexual arousal, sexual attraction, BDSM(b&d, s&m) etc. would be fine. (Comment on my sorting by importance are welcome, Foreplay is kept with sexual intercourse, as sexual intercourse includes anal and oral sex also.) Lara_bran 06:44, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reproductive medicine

Since there is now an article on

Gynecology and Urology from the health section, and just use reproductive medicine? Zodon (talk) 03:35, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply

irrumatio

is not covered by oral sex and non-penatrative sex, or else it would not have its own article. a blob job is performed by the sucker, irrumatio is performed by the suckee, it is a different sex act all together, or just like anal and vaginal sex are different even though both are the sticking in removal and repeat of the penis.Chuletadechancho (talk) 07:50, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The articles on these topics say otherwise. Non-penatrative sex lists irrumatio as one form of non-penatrative sex; likewise, oral sex lists it as one variant. The article on irrumatio says it refers to oral or non-penatrative sex, with overtones of rape. All three of the major concepts that the term refers to are on the template.
As noted elsewhere in this talk page, the sex template covers a very broad area. It would be uselessly large if it listed every article relating to sex. Note that most of the variants of non-penatrative sex and oral sex are not on the template. However the variants are easily accessed from the respective main articles. And if one is specifically looking for the term, a search will find it. Zodon (talk) 19:23, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Categorization of the template

I moved the following note here from my user talk page since it relates to editing this template. Zodon (talk) 11:35, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I see that you reverted my edit to Template:Sex. I've restored it because without the <includeonly></includeonly> tags, the template itself appears in the Sex category which is incorrect. I think your edit comment was regarding the weird character in the sort field for the category, but I didn't put that in there; it was already there when I came to the template. If you want to change that, be my guest, but please leave the <includeonly></includeonly>. Thanks! --Sapphic (talk) 03:29, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Putting [[Category:Sex|τ]] inside includeonly changes the behavior of the template so that it categorizes every page that it is on into category sex. This is undesirable since most of these pages are more appropriately categorized in subcategories.
When templates are put into categories with non-templates, the templates are usually sorted under the letter tau. (Which groups them at the end). I haven't found much documentation of this, (there is one mention buried in the code of this Template:Template category ) but a google search reveals many examples of the practice. Like so much of WikiPedia, this is just an observation of what I have seen done.
As no basis was given for the inclusion of the template in the category sex being incorrect, I have reverted the edit for the moment. (It is certainly better to have just the template in the category, under the appropriate heading, than to have all the other pages in there.) Why is it "incorrect?"
If the template shouldn't be in the category, then removing the category tag from the template entirely would seem to be the appropriate way to handle it. Zodon (talk) 11:35, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Templates don't go in mainspace categories. They only go in "template" categories. That's why including the template in the Template:Sex category is incorrect. I'll hold off on removing the Template:Sex tag entirely until I find documentation for this. --Sapphic (talk) 15:20, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

See Wikipedia:Help_desk/Archives/2008_May_24#Templates_in_their_own_auto-categories and Help:Category#Non-main_namespaces although those still don't seem definitive enough for me, especially since Zodon seems to think using a 'tau' character is standard practice in these cases, meaning there must be a standard practice in these cases. I'll keep looking, but if somebody else knows more about this type of situation they should please chime in. --Sapphic (talk) 15:44, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Those both seem to deal more with mechanics rather than policy. I took another look around but still haven't found anything that spells out policy one way or another on whether templates may/should/should not be included in categories with articles.
The documentation for Category:Wikipedia templates indicates that all templates should be categorized under that, but does not indicate prohibition of categorization elsewhere as well.
The Wikipedia:Categorization#Guidelines suggest that articles be included in the category with the same name as the article (#5). It also suggests that articles be categorized by the topic (i.e. sex), rather than by characteristics of the article (i.e. template) (#8). Both seem to me to suggest that template:sex may be appropriate in category:sex.
This enhancement suggestion suggests a way to clarify/separate articles by namespace in category display. As noted above, the sorting under tau seems to be a de-facto standard practice workaround to provide similar effect.
I posted an inquiry on Wikipedia talk:Categorization#Policy on different namespaces in one category, editors there are probably more familiar with the category system, policies and current practice, and may be able to help. Zodon (talk) 00:26, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

History

I was looking for a general sex overview template, but all I found was this. Its first link is

Feminist Sex Wars (all caps), and it just gets worse from there. So I thought I'd look through the history of the template and how it got developed. It was apparently started by a banned abusive sockpuppet, and its first incarnation was all mostly tacky. Its current state again is one without topical or logical order, which can be corrected somewhat, but such efforts will no doubt be hampered by the fact that it still appears to conform to the tacky list example of the original.

re-added deleted aspects

I am reverting a previous user's deletion of the articles I added to this template for the following reasons:

If other people want to revert my mods again, they should have the decency to reply in-depth to this note I have left. Continued discussionless reversions of those mods will be periodically counter-reverted by me. Kikodawgzzz (talk) 16:25, 27 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed celibacy, involuntary celibacy and single person again. Single person has nothing to do with sex (sure, single people may or may not have sex, but same goes for plumbers or obesity or ...), celibacy is more a philosophical/social view than a mechanical one and both it and involuntary celibacy are explicitly not sex.
The purpose of navigation templates is to link closely related articles that readers are likely to want to navigate between.
wp:Navigation templates
It seems unlikely that somebody interested in reading about celibacy is also going to be likely to want to read about aspects of the sex industry or the laundry list of sex acts. Navigation templates aren't the only option - Regular wikilinks, categorization, etc. provide more appropriate connection to/from celibacy, etc.
Agree that sexual abstinence is somewhat peripheral, but at least it is a subset of sexual acts. (Last time I looked Celibacy claimed to be absence of all sexual activity, which is probably not possible - but I digress.) Sexual abstinence also should provide an avenue to other articles about asexuality, celibacy, etc.
This template suffers from an over-broad focus, so it tends to attract all sorts of fluff. Therefore it needs fairly careful pruning to keep it from getting too large to be of any use. (Something that had a smaller focus might allow more leaway on peripheral items, but if added everything directly to do with human sex this template would be unusable, much less adding peripheral items - like antonyms, etc.). Zodon (talk) 20:59, 27 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Zodon, thank you for re-adding involuntary celibacy. I continue to make the overall case that celibacy, involuntary celibacy and single person belong in the Relationships category as serious relevant articles, but for now I will accept involuntary celibacy alone as staying in there, and I will wait for further discussion to accumulate before pursuing a counter-revert of any kind. Kikodawgzzz (talk)
I didn't re-add it - that was another user.
If you think they belong there, make a case for it. (e.g. give reasons, etc.)
The main concept for that group of articles, Sexual Abstinence, is here already - no need to have all the detailed bits here (this template being an overview, not all the the detailed bits). Just as there is no reason to have all the birth control methods here (just having Birth control and Safe sex covers it - for further details - those articles and related templates get you there). Zodon (talk) 04:10, 28 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I've made a case already, as you see above, but on the other hand I've also now made a navbox
involuntary celibacy etc even under the "Sex" navbox to begin with. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kikodawgzzz (talkcontribs
)
The only reason so far presented is that "you firmly believe they should be there." That doesn't explain why, it doesn't respond to the issues raised. However, if they fit better on another template - great.
Is this the main sexuality template? This one says (by it's name) that it is about sex. Zodon (talk) 05:14, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
To any and all who have problems with these articles being in the Sex navbox-- you can now relax. These subjects have now been included in a separate "Human Sexuality and Sexology" template that is more appropriate. Happy now? ;) Kikodawgzzz (talk) 17:49, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Move specific sex acts to template sex positions

The list of sex acts has gotten too large. There are a few options:

  1. The whole laundry list should be moved to {{
    human sexual activities and sex manual
    items here.
  2. Could create a separate template for sex acts (although differentiating from sex positions might be problem), or
  3. Make the sex acts section here collapsible (so at least the template wouldn't be quite so overwhelming).

I think moving it to sex positions would be best. Are there other suggestions, or what do others favor? Zodon (talk) 06:06, 28 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Suggesting ribaldry for the sex industry section

This article seems very relevant in its relation to sexual media as an alternative to classy erotica or less classy porn. It's the area of humour or mocking which still deals with it. I've added this template to the page and I would like to include the page in the template between Prostitution and Sex Museum. Any objections? DB (talk) 19:48, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it is appropriate here. The big problem with this template is that it could get so large. Perhaps there is an opening for a more specific template covering sex in entertainment/media? (Even that is probably a big can of worms.) I just happened upon an article about sex in star trek even. (There are more general ones about sexuality in fictional worlds or some such too.)
If added ribaldry here, then would probably need to add American burlesque, etc. Zodon (talk) 09:20, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Argeed. In the mean time I think I'll add something about survival sex to Prostitution. Weltoners (talk) 21:00, 16 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Survival sex should not be on this template - another variant/subdivision of prostitution. It is already mentioned on sex and the law template. If want a template to go into greater detail on some area, should probably create area specific template (and remove coverage from this one). There are probably enough articles to make a template just about sex industry, or even specifically about prostitution. That would shrink this template (which is again getting over-large) and that template could provide more complete coverage of the area. Zodon (talk) 06:40, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Most people engaging in survival sex do not see themselves as prostitutes. I am going to replace this because it is different enough to reasonably balance the categories. I suggest that the sexual practices category might need trimming, but I don't think this template is particularly large compared to, e.g., {{employment}}. Npmay (talk) 13:07, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
If it appears on the template, it should be a sub-item under prostitution (since it is a form of prostitution, see for instance the lead of the article on survival sex).
It is not clear to what extent somebody reading about erectile dysfunction or gender identity is really going to need a quick way to get to survival sex.
The variants of prostitution are already covered by {{sex and the law}}, no clear reason to duplicate that coverage here.
I don't think need either forced prostitution or survival sex on the template (this is of necessity an overview and should not cover all the variants). But why include survival sex rather than forced prostitution?
As far as template size - the topic is so broad that this template could and has grown tremendously. It tends to attract additions, especially of articles on particular variants of major topics covered. It is only through periodic trimming that it has been kept down to a manageable size. (Thanks Npmay for trimming sexual activities).
As I noted above, if coverage of prostitution in sex and the law is not adequate for navigation of the prostitution articles, we should create a template just about prostitution. Then could include all the variants, subdivisions, etc. Zodon (talk) 19:39, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sexual fantasy

I think perhaps Sexual fantasy would be appropriate to add to the template, under sexual activities. That would encompass/lead to interested readers to coverage of the other major sex organ - the brain. Zodon (talk) 07:23, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I completely agree with this. I am going to add it and remove some of the more esoteric and porn-movies-only categories. Npmay (talk) 13:09, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Refactor template based on active usage?

Ran a quick list of

Wikipedia:Top 5000 pages
as of 2/21/2013 for another project. Noted quite a few sex topics are of very strong interest to users of WikiPedia. Following is the list in descending order based on hits counts during 7 days. (Yes those are just 7 day counts!) I may have missed some, or tagged pages you don't agree with, which is fine. I’m just introducing the information here.

If the object of the template is to help users navigate to where they want to go there is great information embedded in just the hit counts.

In any discussion of sexual fetishes one has to remember a few points:

  • Fetishes are described as polymorphous perverse, i.e. exceedingly diverse. (i.e. to each her own)
  • Those who are personally attracted to a particular fetish find it extremely (perhaps compulsively) interesting!
    • However, many to most people will be uninterested or unmotivated by that particular fetish, particularly if its quite unique.
  • The minority in each fetish will likely overestimate the public's overall interest in their favorite fetish. Because of thier particularly keen interest they may desire to promot it.
  • With enough people as a sample you can easily sort various sex topics by level of general interest
  • Some fetishes are quite offensive to a significant number of people and “drive them away”.

A navigation tool should be measured by "do most people quickly find what they are looking for"? Granted hit counts are not perfect, and can be biased towards heavy vs. casual users. However with large sample, it’s a great start.

I'd also argue that the existing template categories seems a tad "restrictive" on the topic of total topic of sex. Gender differences, sexy people / sex icons, physical aspects, social/political/economic aspects, emotional aspects, religion and mythology, history/culture, psychological theories might all be represented according to usage. Sex is after all, a large topic.

What would be cool is a dynamically updated template, of fixed and limited display size, hat automatically resorted topics according to hit count. This might be cool for disambiguation pages also... However perhaps that's a bit far forward…
