Bathroom sex
[edit]- ... that in the United States, sex in public bathrooms is more frequent in bars than in restaurants?

- Article makes cottaging seem like a distinctly American pastime; as an Irishman who has had to politely decline an invitation when all I really wanted to do was poop, I get the impression it's sort of global. Perhaps drop mention of "American society" for just "society". There's also probably some material to be mined about George Michael's arrest for soliciting a man for sex in a public toilet, and the subsequent music video for "Outside" that makes fun of this (might be hard to source but when I caught him live back in 06 he was selling t-shirts on the tour describing his "latest release" decorating a bathroom wall). That aside, I'm thinking that the article might need a brief copyedit for slang terms; and I'm wondering if we need to actually list all of AskMen's sex positions—not for prudishness, but I'm worried that it would contravene fair use guidelines for essentially reproducing the gist of their article. If you maybe find mention of other position guides in other sources then I'd keep the section, cut down on the actual descriptions and mention that AskMen, along with Sources X, Y and Z, have offered guides on suitable positions; if nothing else is turned up, I'd consider folding that whole section into the "Depictions..." one, abridging it just to mention that the site has an article listing suitable positions.
All that aside, however, the article is sound for DYK purposes, and the hook is cited and present. I'm wondering if it might be worth using a hook about gloryholes though, since there's a picture there to accompany that. It's up to you really. GRAPPLE X 21:19, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for the suggestion. I've expanded the Sex positions section and added multiple references other than Askmem. The shower sex portion can be expanded a lot and there is an entire book on this topic The Sensual Bath: Soaking in Pleasure & Passion. I'll gradually expand that more. Added the bit about Outside. --SupernovaExplosion Talk 04:28, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

- ... that glory holes (example pictured) enable men to have sex in public bathrooms? --SupernovaExplosion Talk 04:43, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
- Alt is also fine to go. GRAPPLE X 04:47, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
- Comment I'll personally support the original hook because the second hook is an undue for the article and a hook like this is more suitable for the article Glory hole (sexual slang). --SupernovaExplosion Talk 04:39, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
- - Agreed that original hook is more relevant to the article. ▫ JohnnyMrNinja 05:36, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
