Merge to Human sexuality

"Human sexual behaviour" is an uncommon phrase. Human sexuality includes both physical and mental "behaviours" and "feelings". Separating as physical and mental would be original research. Nowhere else on net we find such title, except wikipedia. Also lead section of the article is empty. We better merge it to human sexuality, you can refer to other dictionaries or encyclopedias. Article can be developed better if merged, it helps both in contents and editors attention. Please post your view. Thanks. Lara_bran 04:27, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Here is an old veiw #Merge. Back in 2002 :) Lara_bran 04:31, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
This article should be deleted. It is clearly included merely to espouse positive views regarding deviant (in the statistical sense) sexual behavior. The simple fact "child sexuality" is a dominant section should indicate this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.193.254.2 (talk) 15:14, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Good source?

I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere, but this looks like a decent source.-Wafulz 00:52, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Anyone for gay sex

The decision to redirect gay sex to this page was made some time ago. I did not have the opportunity to vote on that decision, but I would have voted against it. After all, oral sex does not redirect here. Both are a part of human sexual behaviour. Gay sex is nothing to be ashamed of and should be treated like any other sex act.

You seem to be treating "gay sex" as one act. There are a number of pages relating to various sexual activities. They are not, in general, segregated by homo/hetero sexuality (though there must be exceptions such as tribadism and frot). I think treating people as people is healthier, after all safe sex is an issue for everyone. --Simon Speed (talk) 11:26, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

"a partner who is physically at risk"

In the section on Safety and ancillary issues, the first risk item is "choosing to trust a partner who is physically at risk." I don't understand this.

  1. What is really being described here? What are the possible causes of this physical risk?
  2. If one partner is physically at risk, what is the safety concern for the other partner; how does that create a trust issue for the other partner?

It's most likely a typo - "trusting a partner who is physically a risk" covers a wide range of sexual assault issues (assault, rape, through to injury and infection) which is a risk a person may sadly run if they seek sexual activity with a partner that they unwisely trust or don't know.
That said these days it could be better worded and in any event a list like this should be sourced and cited to an authoritative reliable source. FT2  05:34, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
