Please do not do further edits on this page. Edit the page colon (anatomy) and put in the sigmoid subsection anything appropriate. The original sectioning of colon into its parts prevented general edits on the colon from getting into the entries on the subsections. The strategy is to put everything under colon.

the Anal Sex artial mentions damage that can be done to the Sigmoid Colon during unusually deep anal sex. i dont know if a similar mention would be worth noting here (especially with the simple warning against inserting "long" objects into the rectum). my question then is: should we mention anal sex specifically as a risk factor in the sigmoid colon? -- Whiteknight 02:28, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
as an addendum, the anal sex artical also mentions that the sigmoid colon, in places, is as strong as a "wet paper towel." i wonder if that "fact" should be confirmed in this artical, or disparaged in the anal sex artical. -- Whiteknight 02:31, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I've made a note to get rid of the very low quality and old images here and to replace them with newer images. We shouldn't have anything that refers to the pelvic colon, as this is no longer correct terminology. CFCF ( talk · contribs · email) 15:57, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
"The sigmoid colon (or pelvic colon) is the part of the large intestine that is closest to the rectum and anus. It forms a loop that averages about 35–40 centimetres (14–16 in) in length. The loop is typically shaped like a Greek letter sigma (ς) or Latin letter S (thus sigma + -oid). This part of the colon normally lies within the pelvis, [...]" says the beginning of the lead section. But 35 cm is the distance from one side of the abdomen to the other, while the sigmoid colon in the diagram is at most half that. So either the diagram is wrong or the given length, or so it seems to me.

Nowithstanding the fact that this conundrum doesn't really affect things from a Wikipedia perspective, I am curious about what your personal thoughts are on the apparent incongruity beweeen your estimate of what the length should be and what multiple sources report.
