Given the illustrations, the photo added here is probably unnecessary. -- NeilN talk to me 14:29, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
Sexual reproduction is much older than 385 million years. Jawed fish were not the first animals to copulate not to mention sexual reproduction predates the evolution of animals in the first place. The live science article is not a reliable source. I believe this should be removed. Xanikk999 ( talk) 02:35, 6 May 2018 (UTC) Also if we are referring to the physical act of transfering of sperm I see no reason why the article thinks jawed fish were the first. There is a whole plethora of cambrian and edicarian fauna that presumably had some method of sperm transfer. Xanikk999 ( talk) 02:38, 6 May 2018 (UTC)

In the lead section, "Like humans engaging in sexual activity primarily for pleasure," as a user and also as a student of zoology, I can not agree with this, because as a learned and voluntary work in humans, which has been mentioned in the stimulation section, sex in humans can not be said to be primarily for pleasure, because human sex had a wide range of view and all the people of the world from historical past till now does not tend to view sex as primarily for plaesure, there are many aspects of sex besides pleasure, including reproduction, bonding etc. Identifying pleasure aspect as primary is not a worldwide view, we can say that according to stimulation section's quotations and references, "Like humans, engaging in sexual activity is mostly for sexual rewards such as pleasure or procreation [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6], this behavior in the aforementioned animals is instinctual/imnate [7] [6] [8] [9] [10] or habitually [2] presumed primarily to be for pleasure". Also stating that, in marriage and relationship section," Sexual intercourse between unmarried partners and cohabitation of an unmarried couple are also illegal in some jurisdictions.". Is the word some appropiate here? I think, there should be used many , because to my knowledge, the number of governmental, religious and cultural jurisdictions which disapprove sex between unmarried couple and cohabitation of unmarried couple is mot stated as some, because still at present the number is worth-mentioning as many. Besides the questions, I have enhanced a liitle of the third section of the lead adding the marriage recuirements of some/many jurisdications and also added possible respestive references in the section. Hoping for other users reply, FlightTime, Flyer22 Reborn. Sharif Uddin ( talk) 06:16, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
Various jurisdictions have implemented marriage cultures through relative-laws and rituals to permit sexual intercourse...". No, that is not suitable for the lead because there is no information about that claim in the article. Indeed, marriage does not have text like that in its lead.

was invoked but never defined (see the
help page).In the Roman Catholic Church, if a matrimonial celebration takes place (ratification), but the spouses have not yet engaged in intercourse (consummation), then the marriage is considered to be a marriage via ratum sed non consummatum. Such a marriage, regardless of the reason for non-consummation, can be dissolved by the pope. Such an annulment declaration implies that the marriage was void from the start; i.e., there was no marriage in canon law.

I find it extremely bizarre that the introduction omits any actual description of sexual intercourse in terms of reproduction. Specifically that sperm in semen are ejaculated from the penis into the vagina, swim into the uterus, and fertilize the ovum. The omission of this and inclusion of several references to anal sex, gay dolphins, dildos, and "non-penetrative sex"(?) in the introduction of this important article I believe undermines its objective quality and usefulness. — Preceding unsigned comment added by IP 108.56.234.15 ( talk • contribs)

This article, like Wikipedia itself, suffers from a Eurocentric bias and an artistic bias. All but 1 of the human depictions of sexual intercourse in this article are European paintings or drawings. Yet less than 10% of Earth's population is European, and an even smaller percentage relate to European classical art (which is a fringe hobby). Many of these paintings need to be replaced with images of real people including a lot of non-white people. Also, some artistic portrayals from other cultures would help. - Hunan201p ( talk) 02:30, 17 March 2020 (UTC)

21:04, 21 June 2020 (UTC)The final sentence of the section "Prevalence" reads, "It said that women engage in anal intercourse less commonly than men, but that the practice is not uncommon among women; it was estimated that 10% to 14% of women aged 18 to 39 years old practiced anal sex in the past 90 days, and that most of the women said they practiced it once a month or a few times a year.[20]"
This last section is either misleading or incorrect. I thought it sounded a little high, so I checked the reference, and the actual wording used is significantly different: "The majority of women who engage in anal sex report doing it once a month to a few times a year." Emphasis mine.
I read the article as it stands as saying all women asked said they practice it with that frequency, rather than all women who said they do engage in anal sex. Perhaps that's what's meant by "the women", but I don't think it reads well.

The discussion below is copied from my talk page. It is based on this edit, which I reverted. Both editors have agreed to move the discussion here for more opinions.
You state that my edit of 8 January 2022 changed the meaning.
Original version:
Muslim men, both Sunni and Shia, are allowed to marry permanently up to four women. In Shia Islam, men are allowed to enter into an unlimited number of temporary marriages, which are contracted to last for a period of minutes to multiple years and permit sexual intercourse. Sunni women are allowed to enter only one marriage permanently at a time whereas Shia women both temporary or permanent
Revised version:
Shia Islam recognizes temporary marriages which are contracted to last for a period of minutes to multiple years. Although Muslim men, both Sunni and Shia, are allowed to marry permanently up to four women, women are only allowed to be married to one husband at a time.
Okay, so let's figure out what's the same and what's different:
Possible modifications to the revised version
Which of these modifications do you think would address your concern that my revised version has changed the meaning? Fabrickator ( talk) 18:47, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
In looking over the preceding discussion, I notice there is potential for confusion about allowing for an unlimited number of temporary marriages. It could either refer to an unlimited number of sequential temporary marriages or to an unlimited number of concurrent temporary marriages. To clarify, the intended meaning is that this refers to sequential temporary marriages, not concurrent temporary marriages, except as otherwise specified.

As a more pictorially inclined reader; are there any depictions of sex on this article within this century? On deeper inspection yes; it looks like a pair of lions have committed the act no longer than 18 years ago. I may be a bit naiive in asking but does this act still occur between humans? If so, would it be constructive to include a more contemporary visual aid to dispel any misconceptions that the act has faded into obscurity. Perhaps in the leed? Pabsoluterince ( talk) 02:31, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
Johnuniq, I do not really know what you mean about the "gratification of a viewer" but I am old enough to have been engaging in sexual intercourse for almost 52 years and back then, I had never once viewed any explicit pornography. The first image, to me, illustrates the uninhibited mutual pleasures of this act, that goes back long before Homo sapien to our pre-human ancestors. It looks more like art than porn to me. That image is "typical" of my personal experiences for over half a century. Cullen328 ( talk) 04:51, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
I'm not yet commenting on which images are appropriate, but I strongly agree with Enlightenedstranger0 about consensus. The WP:IMPLICITCONSENSUS is the article as it was before this discussion began. This discussion isn't even close to establishing a new consensus. Silence does not bestow an editor with authority to declare a change in consensus, and changing the article as if there is a new consensus was inappropriate.

This revert (Undo media source. WP:MEDRS.) removed a claim citing an article in Slate, which I had been using as a reference that "penis-in-vagina" is abbreviated "PIV". Said revert led directly to this revert (Undid revision 1071609799 by Damian Yerrick (talk). Removed an entry where the abbreviation is not used within the article, as per MOS:DABACRO.) Searching PubMed reveals no uses of "PIV" to refer to "penis-in-vagina". What search engines other than PubMed cover articles that meet WP:MEDRS? -- Damian Yerrick ( talk) 17:00, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
She was able to manage digital insertion and owned a small vibrator but it was specifically penis-in-vagina (PIV) sex that was the source of her difficulty.
— [1]
They argue that relationships are assumed to be heteronormative and mononormative with sex being collectively implied to mean “penis in vagina” (PIV) intercourse including an orgasm.
— [2]
Advice books also assume a coital imperative (Tyler 2008) whereby penis-in-vagina (PIV) sex is clearly assumed to constitute ‘proper’ sex.

@ Scorpions13256: In the 4 March 2022 edit of Sexual intercourse, IABot reported that 194 sources had been rescued. By my count, 153 of these were for Google Books, but so far as I can tell, none of those Google Books archive links actually work. I would suggest that either the whole edit should be reverted or alternatively, that the Google Books archive links ought to be deleted. Thoughts? Fabrickator ( talk) 05:49, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

On deeper inspection yes; it looks like a pair of lions have committed the act no longer than 18 years ago. I may be a bit naiive in asking but does this act still occur between humans? If so, would it be constructive to include a more contemporary visual aid to dispel any misconceptions that the act has faded into obscurity. Perhaps in the leed?

Johnuniq, I do not really know what you mean about the "gratification of a viewer" but I am old enough to have been engaging in sexual intercourse for almost 52 years and back then, I had never once viewed any explicit pornography. The first image, to me, illustrates the uninhibited mutual pleasures of this act, that goes back long before Homo sapien to our pre-human ancestors. It looks more like art than porn to me. That image is "typical" of my personal experiences for over half a century. Cullen328 ( talk) 04:51, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
I'm not yet commenting on which images are appropriate, but I strongly agree with Enlightenedstranger0 about consensus. The WP:IMPLICITCONSENSUS is the article as it was before this discussion began. This discussion isn't even close to establishing a new consensus. Silence does not bestow an editor with authority to declare a change in consensus, and changing the article as if there is a new consensus was inappropriate.

This revert (Undo media source. WP:MEDRS.) removed a claim citing an article in Slate, which I had been using as a reference that "penis-in-vagina" is abbreviated "PIV". Said revert led directly to this revert (Undid revision 1071609799 by Damian Yerrick (talk). Removed an entry where the abbreviation is not used within the article, as per MOS:DABACRO.) Searching PubMed reveals no uses of "PIV" to refer to "penis-in-vagina". What search engines other than PubMed cover articles that meet WP:MEDRS? -- Damian Yerrick ( talk) 17:00, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
She was able to manage digital insertion and owned a small vibrator but it was specifically penis-in-vagina (PIV) sex that was the source of her difficulty.

They argue that relationships are assumed to be heteronormative and mononormative with sex being collectively implied to mean “penis in vagina” (PIV) intercourse including an orgasm.

Advice books also assume a coital imperative (Tyler 2008) whereby penis-in-vagina (PIV) sex is clearly assumed to constitute ‘proper’ sex.

An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect Genital sex and has thus listed it for discussion. This discussion will occur at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 April 2#Genital sex until a consensus is reached, and readers of this page are welcome to contribute to the discussion.

@ Scorpions13256: In the 4 March 2022 edit of Sexual intercourse, IABot reported that 194 sources had been rescued. By my count, 153 of these were for Google Books, but so far as I can tell, none of those Google Books archive links actually work. I would suggest that either the whole edit should be reverted or alternatively, that the Google Books archive links ought to be deleted. Thoughts? Fabrickator ( talk) 05:49, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

Under this section is the line "In the predominantly Catholic countries Ireland, Italy and the Philippines, fertility awareness and the rhythm method are emphasized..." The rhythm method has not been advocated by the Catholic Church in decades, NFP is the only modern method that is encouraged within marriage. This last part mentioning rhythm should be removed. It should say "In the predominantly Catholic countries Ireland, Italy and the Philippines, NFP (Natural Family Planning) is emphasized..." 216.196.217.34 ( talk) 13:33, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
The use of "typically" to describe heterosexual sex is wrong and shouldn't be used. 2601:242:8202:8C40:90E3:6AB2:2D71:7ADE ( talk) 20:13, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
