Talk:Top (BDSM)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article has been merged. See Top and bottom in sex and BDSM (talk) Sai Emrys ¿? ✍ 05:58, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
"Top" has a much wider field of use in sexuality than just in BDSM. I'd like to refactor this article and bottom (BDSM) to begin with the idea of insertive and receptive sex, and move them to bottom (sex) and top (sex). - Montréalais 16:08, 23 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- You're right that the term is not solely used in BDSM, but I don't think that there is much to write about these terms outside of the BDSM context. The biggest part of this article would be the BDSM part, so I think it should stay here. You could split this article into Top (sex) and Top (BDSM), maybe. --Conti|✉ 17:36, Aug 23, 2004 (UTC)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Bottom_%28BDSM%29 I don't speak japanese, but the information appears more consistent thus.
[edit] Reversing the merger
This merger was to highly contra productive. The Spanish, Italian, Dutch and German articles clearly show that at least Switch, Top (BDSM) and Bottom (BDSM) are relevant single lemmata. Literature given there proofs this as well. Additionaly the merger was not tagged as described in Wikipedia:Merging and moving pages.
The argument about this being an "good compare-and-contrast article" is doesn't make any sense. I would like to see what would happen if merged capitalism&communism into an "compare-and-contrast article" deleting the original ones only because nobody answered to my merger ideas. Its really strange that there was allegedly no response to the pre-merger suggestions, nevertheless even the smallest amount of thoughtfulness should have prevented this. The intention to merge homosexual and BDSM topics in order to "compare-and-contrast" them while deleting the source article is at least original research if not POV. --Nemissimo 12:31, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
