Despite the sensationalized name, a Sex Diet is a scientifically-recognized method for promoting good health. Dr. William Granzig, PhD, and President of the American Academy of Clinical Sexologists described McCloskey's book as "a solid scientific plan guaranteed to improve your fitness."
Deleting this page would be the equivalent to deleting an exercise page like Kick Boxing or a dieting page like the Atkins Nutritional Approach. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lovelyrita (talk • contribs)

[edit] Good Addition
[edit] Objective sound?
This reads like an infomercial. It could be completely accurate and correct, but to me, it sounds like an advertisement, or a plug for the referenced books. Perhaps some critical opinions as well or something to make it feel like an objective article would help.
Also, the links don't work anymore. However, even the subject is kind of confusing. I half expected to find what kind of foods to eat as aphrodisiacs and to improve my sex life. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.123.70.133 (talk • contribs)
[edit] Needs work
I agree with the editor who posted before me. This article tries to convince me of the efficacy of sex diets without telling me much about what is involved in a sex diet. Sex diets may very well be useful, as I would imagine sexual activity burns a lot of calories, but this article sounds like propaganda or advertising, rather than an encyclopedia article.

[edit] AOL?
According to www.sexologist.org, a suspiciously-unprofessional-looking site that claims to be the home of the organization you speak of, the chairman of this organization is William Granzig. However, his e-mail is listed as an AOL one, and the website is extremely unprofessional, leading to doubts about its authenticity. Further, the ABS's existance is not supported by the AMA.
The first to the last sentence is extremely NPOV, and the page is highly linked, furthering suspicions of corporate gain or somesuch. I will remove the book plugins. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.137.4.96 (talk • contribs)
Well the references in the article that mention Granzig and the American Academy of Clinical Sexologists are newspaper references, which do hold standards of fact checking and verifiability. As for highly linked, I'm not sure what you mean. There is only 1 external link and the rest are references which clearly pass WP:RS. Yes they all seem to mention McClosky's book but that is partly because it is viewed currently as the "authority" on the matter and is referenced the most often by the media.
