Sexual intercourse → Sex (penetration) – Sex is the most common name for what this article is about. Nobody refers to it as sexual intercourse. That is overly long. Fish567 (talk) 20:26, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Oppose. Article title policy emphasizes the use of neutral, precise, and commonly recognizable titles, whereas "Sex" is a colloquialism and lacks specificity. EVaDiSh (talk) 21:35, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Oppose. Er, yes they do. Very commonly. And avoids having to disambiguate. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:34, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
Oppose. Per above. I have no words. 162 etc. (talk) 17:46, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

Requested move 6 April 2024

Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

It was proposed in this section that Sexual intercourse be renamed and moved to Sexual intercourse in humans.

result:
Procedural close. This request conflicts with the move proposal at Talk:Copulation (zoology), so it will be combined into that request. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^{put'er there} 19:54, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

This is template {{subst:Requested move/end}}

Sexual intercourse → Sexual intercourse in humans – The common article is Copulation (zoology) which should be renamed as sexual intercourse (in common) or sexual intercourse in animals. 202.134.11.235 (talk) 10:23, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

Explicit images should be removed

Such images related to the topic should be kept in which no organ should be seen, thus making wikipedia child friendly 122.173.24.27 (talk) 12:41, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia 101: Wikipedia is not censored: "Wikipedia may contain content that some readers consider objectionable or offensive‍—‌even exceedingly so. Attempting to ensure that articles and images will be acceptable to all readers, or will adhere to general social or religious norms, is incompatible with the purposes of an encyclopedia."

Sex is more than about pleasure or reproduction

I think the reasoning for sex in this description should be updated. There are a lot of reasons people have sex: Pleasure, reproduction, obligation/ agreement, performance (such as porn), cultural expectations, experimentation, and more. 73.163.126.112 (talk) 16:23, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

Dildos are used on more than just men

The description notes the use of dildos, but only gives the example of a woman using one on a man anally. It should be updated to be more inclusive. For example: man on man, woman on woman, man on woman, they/thems and other non-gender or transgendered people, etc. 73.163.126.112 (talk) 16:28, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

I removed the mention in the lead of being used on a man anally, as it is excessively specific and a relatively recent addition. Crossroads ^-talk- 02:06, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

Why does "copulation" redirect to this article?

"Copulation" usually refers to non-human mating behavior instead of human sexual activity. Shouldn't Copulation (zoology) be titled Copulation instead? Jarble (talk) 18:51, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
