• To be manually moved to article's talk page or deleted:

• Rind et al. has a completely inappropriate title, the first name of one of the authors of a scientific journal article. It seems to have been singled out because some pedophiles see it in support of their fight for the right to have sex with children. Other scientific material in the area of child sexual abuse and pedophilia is neglected. Get-back-world-respect 07:35, 16 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Then again, that does seem to be how the '98 study is referenced, and one might argue it merits an article for its infamy. +sj+ 14:25, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Whether the name is appropriate or not, there are issues with the article content. This article is to come under the purview of Wikipedia:WikiProject Pedophilia Article Watch shortly. Herostratus 17:13, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

• Leather virgin -- it's in the list of lifestyles, and I got mad that there was no article, so I took my best guess. That my guess makes sense makes it worse, I suppose, since "a leather virgin is a type of chicken" would be obviously wrong. I put an accuracy warning because I could be completely off-base; surely someone does know, however. --Charles A. L. 23:39, Mar 27, 2004 (UTC)
  • I'd just merge that stubby puppy into "List of BDSM terms". It doesn't seem worth an article. — RJH 00:12, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Erotic electrostimulation is currently mostly how-to and safety information. Guanaco 03:27, Aug 6, 2004 (UTC)

• Egale Canada is taken right off of Egales website BUT was done so by someone within the organization. Needs NPOV, Wification, layout management, and fleshing out. Arcuras 17:54, Sep 30, 2004 (UTC)

• Making out -- Seems like an awful lot could be said on the subject, yet very little has. --130.184.11.129 18:11, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

• Furvert -- This article is currently extremely hateful and POV, and it needs someone who understands the idea of a "furvert" to both fix it and add more information to it. I am also tempted to guess at some inaccuracy here (I thought furverts by definition were furries?). I would make an attempt to fix it myself except I am accused of being "anti-furry" and "spreading misinformation" anytime I touch a furry-related article these days. --Krishva 06:18, August 18, 2005 (UTC)

• Human sexual behavior is just messed up generally. Herostratus 17:13, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

• Smoking fetishism - The "external links" section is out of control, and ther rest of the article could use help too. -Will Beback 22:24, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

• History of lesbianism needs a great deal of work by someone who is familiar with the subject and can exercise good editing skills. Right now, it looks like a combination of original research and unsupported POV. There have been some good contributions but overall the page is a mess. Ande B 02:06, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

• Images: There are many articles that need images or need better images. I will compile a list later of some that I notice and others may add as well. Svartulfr1 01:43 26 August 2006 (UTC)

• Circumcision and many articles related to it, e.g. foreskin fetish, have proven to be a constant battleground, resulting in vast talk pages, many blocks, etc. Subversive 09:54, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

• Lesbianism in erotica, while in pretty good shape, is still in need of expansion in several places, as noted on the "To Do" list at the head of Talk:Lesbianism in erotica. Notably, the article really needs material on lesbianism in erotic literature, a topic on which I'm out of my depth. Iamcuriousblue 00:07, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

• Adolescent sexuality is US centric & POV affected by the culture war positioning of editors -- Paul foord 09:37, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

• Mammary intercourse has degraded to the point of no return (maybe). The picture has been swaping back and forth, and it has a higher cursing per sentence rate than South Park. Needs a major edit or deletion. -- Dake L. 04:13, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

• Autocoitus needs more sources; see last sourced revision and undeleteion discussion --Sai Emrys ¿? ✍ 06:49, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
