Has to be a hoax, there are no references! XNYTV 10:26, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

  • Strong Delete - Original research and a hoax Neologism. There should be CSD for such. /Blaxthos 11:14, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep I don't think this is a hoax. The same editor who wrote this wrote Sex Diet which is well-referenced. Needs someone to actually do the legwork instead of rushing to delete.--Ispy1981 11:27, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Hoax? No. Neologism? Probably. Google has 17k hits. YechielMan 12:03, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep Needs more explanation of how to exactly do it, but my hunch is that this isn't a hoax. Certain types of stretching and exercising can increase sexual stimulation, but this article needs a lot of work to make it more legit. --David Andreas 19:13, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep: References need to be added, but it doesn't look like a hoax. Quite a few archive ghits from the likes of Washington Post, Daily Mail and this one from BBC News with reference to NHS Direct. → AA (talk • contribs) — 19:42, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete "Sexercises" is an obvious play-on-words, so I would say neologism w.r.t. this article. JJL 19:43, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Plenty notable enough. The article probably shouldn't be pluralised though. —Xezbeth 20:32, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - Although it appears to be a blatant (and inexperienced) attempt at vandalism, the article itself is notable. Fine by me. NSR77 TC 21:06, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
  • I'm not sure the term is correct (in fact, it sounds more like a sales term, oddly enough), so I'd be inclined to a move and redirect. The problem is, though, that I don't know what one should move it to. So with that, keep, unless somebody can think of a less marketroidish name. =O.o= --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 22:54, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment - nomination smells a bit pointy. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 23:22, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep I added one apparently well known book, (52 libraries on OCLC, transl into 4 other languages). The singular seems to be the standard name--used in an article title in Lancet, There are others--there's obviously a lot of junk to sort through. The best known example, btw, is Kegel exercise.

  • Strong delete mainly to combat the obvious bias for keeping this category. But content-wise per Blaxthos Bulldog123 07:43, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment The Oxford English Dictionary quotes sexercise (singular) as first being seen in 1942, so not a neologism.

a. Sexual activity regarded as exercise.
b. (An) exercise designed to enhance sexual attractiveness or to improve sexual performance.

    • The problem is that the page you reference for the quote is a subscription-required page. Can you come up with a better reference? --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 03:23, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
