[edit] Duressed bi-curiosity

I don't think this article is encyclopædic, frankly, even without it being an orphan. I'm not convinced it's not a speedy-delete. Anyone who knows more about sexology fancy commenting further? — OwenBlacker July 1, 2005 01:30 (UTC)

• I can find no source for this in Google or Google Scholar. However, there is considerable scientific literature on, for example, homosexuality and sexual culture in prisons. I am also not convinced that the word "duressed" is a properly formed verb, having been unable to find it at dictionary.com and being forced to ignore Google freaking out about a misspelling. It's my feeling that if anything this should be merged with either bisexuality or a sexual culture section be added to prison, most likely with bisexuality since prison is not the only scope of this article as it stands. In either case, it needs appropriate citation. -SocratesJedi | Talk 1 July 2005 05:28 (UTC)
  • Changing gender orientation under duress has been scientifically proven -- homosexuality has been induced in rats through a combination of high population density and lack of stimuli (plain white walls, no features, no visible exits, identical tasteless food day in and day out), even with access to the other gender. That phenomenon would make a notable article. But I don't think that should be confused with this. Almafeta 1 July 2005 13:14 (UTC)

• Delete - neologism. -- AlexR 1 July 2005 12:23 (UTC)
• Delete. Article is thinly veiled hate speech. Almafeta 1 July 2005 13:14 (UTC)
• Delete, original research, unless some sources can be cited. --bainer (talk) 1 July 2005 15:28 (UTC)

• Delete. I don't think "bi-curious" is a proper academic term. — Phil Welch 1 July 2005 21:59 (UTC)
• Merge with an appropriate article such as bisexuality, otherwise delete. I have heard of the phenomenon as described, but cannot verify that the correct terminology is used here. (Rob Church, 23:52 01/07/05 GMT)
• Delete per bainer. Dcarrano 1 July 2005 23:59 (UTC)
• Delete Unfounded claims that smell of POV. Title is non-standard grammar.
• What this article describes is usually referred to as "prison homosexuality" or "situational homosexuality", but even those terms are problematic. This one is beyond problematic; it's non-existent. Delete with prejudice. Bearcat 2 July 2005 01:28 (UTC)
• Delete per Bearcat. Quale 3 July 2005 00:07 (UTC)
• Delete, neologism, apparently unverifiable -- The Anome July 3, 2005 10:03 (UTC)
