Talk:Human male sexuality

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Why does Male Sexuality get deleted when Female does not? I think there is plenty of information out there that is purely about men and not about sexuality in general. —Preceding unsigned comment added by TSG Cavalier (talk • contribs)

See Talk:Female sexuality for a list of topics to discuss; the male side of each of the contrasts mentioned is likely to be relevant here. -- The Anome 14:02, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Changing Templates

There seems to be a consensus. I am changing the templates to somthing a little bit more immediate and dire. --75.161.253.98 00:43, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Commonly held by who?

I think the list of "commonly held" but "possibly stereotypical" aspects of male sexuality is unencyclopedic and innacurate. Shouldn't this article talk more about male behavior and the role sex has in male life rather than spewing what sounds like feminist slander about how males are sexually "aggressive"? --Berserk798 21:04, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Sounds like radical feminist 'all-men-are-rapists' rhetoric. I'm removing it. 91.107.218.77 (talk) 21:04, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] This article should be purged until someone writes something worthwhile

This article reads like a college freshman's paper--and a bad one at that. There are sweeping generalizations that do not take into account the life stages of an adult male. There are clear differences in male behavior depending upon age or stage of development (each has its own line of thought). This article--and the one on female sexual behavior, and not worth the pixels they are written on.

[edit] I have to say remove it

I think this is a brilliant observation, which I personally agree with. However I saw no mention, of any data or research. It’s truly is only an opinion. Regardless of the fact the author maybe spot on. It should not be included. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.196.223.11 (talk) 08:21, 2 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Comment on biases in representation of content

Some observations in this article may be apt when discussing certain aspect of male sexuality as a commentary pertaining to American Culture. However, the observations presented on changes in fashion and their links to the development of male sexuality do not necessarily correspond to other forms of development in other areas of the world. As such this article (specifically the section citing sexuality within the U.S.) loses coherence if we try to locate male sexuality within a broader framework. Any attempt at a definition of male sexuality must be more coherent in representing the plurality of experiences that are found across the world. Mazzers 03:41, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Deleted

I deleted the "fact" that men are only aroused by female breasts, buttocks, and midriffs. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 76.189.65.223 (talk) 14:06, 11 April 2007 (UTC).

[edit] what is going on

no references?? nothing? this article needs serious revision.... not that it hasn't been said before..

also, it seems to be getting a bit biased towards the end, as in, pro-male. its sounding as though, men are being treated unfairly by the double standards, through from a feministic point of view isn't it also unfair towards the woman? she is expected to reveal her body, considered frigid/unfit if she doesn't, and a man isn't expected to reveal his. by this, men are not under as much pressure to look good for the females as the females are for them... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tidy (talk • contribs) 11:53, 11 May 2007 (UTC).

I see more pro-female, feminist prejudices and anecdotal observations lining this article than anything. Not only does the author list virtually no sources, but the "information" presented here seems to feed directly off of stereotypes and anecdotes about men that have had little empirical support by psychological experiments. For example: "although men typically desire both love and sex, they are traditionally held to be more likely to desire sex even in the absence of a loving relationship". What empirical evidence is there to support any of that, not only as pertaining to modern men, but to men in different cultures all over the world? And what evidence is there to prove that women don't "desire sex even in the absence of a loving relationship"? This article, as well as the Human female sexuality article, is in dire need of: a) A rewrite b) Neutrality of Tone and c) cited sources. There simply needs to be more research here before these articles can even be considered halfway credible. Mikhajlovich (talk) 05:34, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] This article should be completely dumped and started over

I made no specific edit, mainly because I simply don't know where to begin.

I'm not even clear on what value the existence pf this article adds to the encyclopedia. It will either be a fairly dry collection of non-controversial, medically validated common knowledge that can be found in other articles, or it will be a platform for political/social agendas.

This article is an embarrassment to the project, as well as insulting to many people who read it. If I were to write a parody satirizing the writings of a way-out-of-the-mainstream radical feminist with poor writing skills, it might sound a great deal like this article.
