[edit] 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 Category:Sexology, Category:Human sexuality, List of sexology topics, Category:Sexuality-related lists, category:sex moves, List of sex positions, sex acts, 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)

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)

[edit] Santorum

I've removed the term Santorum (sexual slang) from the subheading "Anatomy and fluids" because the term purportedly refers to a mixture of feces and "lube". Since feces is already listed, and the lube to which it refers is not an anatomically-produced fluid, the term does not belong under that subheading. --Dachannien^Talk_Contrib 16:39, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 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)

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)
