Prostate massage[edit]

I added a new section regarding the prostate massage through fingering the prostate gland in men here and it has been reverted by User:Crossroads citing it as tangential topic and it was also pointed out that Psychology Today is a poor source for reference. Since, I don't know much about the weight-age of different websites and perhaps someone could help me understand how we decide a source as good or bad and whether we have any objective measure or just subjective opinion. Further, even if the source is poor still there is no denying that this is a known topic which also has wiki article. IMO, the revert was done in uncaring and thoughtless manner. Isn't it better to think about the merits and demerits of the edits rather than to just simple revert it in a haste manner to display authoritativeness to new users?

I did think about it, and it remains that this is WP:UNDUE. Prostate stimulation is already covered and does not need its own subheading. Crossroads ^-talk- 22:20, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I sincerely hope that you are intelligent enough to not think that people will fall for your obscure justifications and your evasion like you didn't address any of the points raised. As I checked your contributions, I found that many of your edits are just reverts to intimidate new users as an act of bullying or to just increase your edit numbers or both. I am requesting you to not engage in this act of Vandalism or I have to involve admins and let them decide the quality of your edit and all of your contributions and whether your act of vandalism is against Wikipedia policies, which I am sure would be although I don't know about that as of now. I don't want your account to be blocked by admins so I leave it to you to improve the reverts that you have made. Humansexuality (talk) 07:13, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Safety and Sexual Assault[edit]

Re. "For example, penetration without consent of the vagina or anus with a finger is called 'rape' in Australia[18] and 'forcible rape' in the US.": how does a vagina or asshole consent? And how does either do so "with a finger"? Really, the writing on Wikipedia is so crappy most of the time. 107.147.183.77 (talk) 18:28, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The only image is a basic drawing, with adults. Not sure of your concern.--Dmol (talk) 22:47, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Possible split[edit]

This article should be split into two articles. One for vulvar/vaginal fingering with its current title and the other for anal fingering with the new title "anal fingering". While fingering is a similar activity whether genitalia or anus, they are different nonetheless, in regards to technique and health risks. Autisticeditor 20 (talk) 19:26, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
