Can a clitoris penetrate someone?[edit]

It says so in the article. I know that there are smaller and bigger clitorises, but I'm doubting this... --82.37.67.151 (talk) 16:49, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The Etymology and usage section says that this is a mythological belief.--Auric talk 22:43, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Tribadism as a way of sexual competition[edit]

Perhaps as the only literature of all, the book "Kampfes Lust" by Werner Sonntag deals with the topics of female martial arts, catfighting, sexfighting etc. in a scientific way. In terms of cultural history, sexual biology and with the help of many different sources, this 662-page volume describes the origins as well as the significance of sexual/tribadic competition among women precisely. So this topic should be a part of this Wikipedia article without any problems. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hans-Rudi der Letzte (talk • contribs) 10:05, 16 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You seem to be saying this is the only WP:Reliable source on this topic, which is definitely not true. Are there any sources in English and by academic publishers that are WP:Secondary to this claim? There is no shortage of such sources on this topic in general. It seems like an WP:EXTRAORDINARY claim. Crossroads ^-talk- 23:34, 16 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Binary gendered language needs updating[edit]

It is a sex position for two people with vulvas. Gender is not part of this sex position/practice and the article should be updated accordingly.

I am happy to make some edits, and keep the historical references to women, but the current practice information must be updated to be inclusive and more factual.

Just wanted to make sure I'm not going to run into some transphobic nonsense before I make the edits. Semibee (talk) 20:55, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:Due weight, the sources overwhelmingly describe this as a sex act between two women. And those who engage in it overwhelmingly are women. WP:STICKTOSOURCE applies. Community consensus is also against this sort of wording. We describe humans as having two arms and two legs elsewhere on Wikipedia, even though some have lost a limb - but we accurately relay what is typical.

FYI: I updated sources in the article and added a piece about the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI). There's other things about this lesbian sexual practice I might add. I removed the media cites, except for those about media. Media cites good for media attention? Okay. For the more general areas of an academic topic? No. I understand that references for this topic aren't abundant, but there's now an academic source for some things that were supported by media cites in the section on sex positions and other aspects.

Outside of a few media sources and passing mentions in a book or two allowing for inclusivity, I couldn't find anything about this being a practice for every gender with a vulva or all genders. It's definitely not a topic that gets a lot of attention in academia. And the attention it has gotten is almost exclusively about women, especially lesbians.

Similar position between Male and Female[edit]

Tribadism is according to this page "a woman rubs her vulva against her partner's body for sexual stimulation, especially for stimulation of the clitoris." A similar position is possible between a man and woman. What is the sexual practice called where a man lies on his back with his stiff penis on his stomach and a woman rubs her vulva over the penis? This page also says "rubbing the vulva against the partner's thigh, stomach, buttocks, arm, or other body part (excluding the mouth)." So a woman could also rub her vulva against those body parts of a man. This means non-penetrative sex such as tribadism is not exclusively a lesbian sexual practice. -Artanisen (talk) 18:09, 7 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Complete revert summary[edit]

This is just the full intended text of my revert summary, as I pressed the button too quickly.

"Male" is more accurate than the narrow "man" given that intercrural sex is commonly believed to be often practiced by teenagers.

While the second part removed by the reverted edit might be more inclusive, ~~I didn't feel like doing a manual partial revert~~ and probably wouldn't object to cutting it (although I would frankly like to see an RfC on the use of gendered language in articles on sex acts, because I am not entirely sure whether the majority of English-language readers worldwide would approve of systematically removing it).
