Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites that you are affiliated with, and links that exist to attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policies for further explanations of links that are considered appropriate. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

The two links I added were from the sites of notes Sex Researcher and internationally syndicated broadcaster Sue McGarvie. There is a ton of free content on both sites which relates specifically to the content being discussed in the article... certianly more than is available in the some of the sites you already have listed. Just because a site has a commercial side as well, does not mean that it fails to contain informative and educational material. These links were not spam.
- Thank you for your query. I once again analysed the links you added to the article Orgasm, but I am sorry to inform that they do not conform to Wikipedia's policies regarding external links (See WP:EL and WP:SPAM for reference). Your links may not be inserted for the following reasons:
- They are not specific to the subject of the article (Orgasm).
- They contain a shopping section with recommended products.
- If within the sites you provided exist subpages with ad-free content about orgasm, you are welcome to add links to those specific pages. But the main websites easily qualify as spam, and definitely inadequate for the article Orgasm. Consider checking the article Sexuality as a more suitable choice. Once again, thank you for contacting me. Regards.--Húsönd 02:33, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
