Requesting to add Sex economy at first in tbe sex industry section. 103.67.158.55 (talk) 01:54, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not done. That (confusingly titled) article appears to be about the application of economic theory to sex, and not about the economics of the sex industry. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 03:08, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

In the current version of the template, a link to Adolescent sexuality in the United States is juxtaposed with links to Sexuality in ancient Rome, ... Sexuality in South Korea. There's a somewhat inappropriate implication there, and I am not aware of another article that could take that link's place; so I request removal of the link. 209.166.108.199 (talk) 18:45, 28 December 2020 (UTC) 209.166.108.199 (talk) 18:45, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: No such link exists nor did it in the version linked. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 22:02, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sexually active life expectancy

Stumbled across Sexually active life expectancy and thought perhaps it could benefit from being added to this template? skarz (talk) 16:57, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Sex (biology) should be under this title instead

The primary topic for "sex" is about the biological concept rather than the concept related to human sexuality; so this should be the case with the template as well. Plus, there is already a template called Template:Human sexuality which this template maybe should be merged with. ~2026-32629-38 (talk) 22:40, 2 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Because of Talk:Biological sex#Requested move 1 June 2026, the article Sex had been moved to Biological sex. Correspondingly, Template:Sex (biology) was moved to Template:Biological sex.

Template:Sex has parameter |title=[[Human sexual activity]], so renaming it to Template:Human sexual activity seems appropriate. Kinda like WP:C2D, but for navigational templates instead of categories.

Template:Human sexuality covers a different topic corresponding to the article Human sexuality. See also hatnotes there and at Human sexual activity. —⁠andrybak (talk) 19:08, 8 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
