| | + | ::I anticipate plenty of objection. For a start, tell a child or young teenager how, and they might want to try it. It also means we have to make articles on mate, penis and virgina, tripling the contriversy. Here's an idea: Disappear the lot. Delete the page, prevent it ever being created again. Do the same for everything that deals with human sexuality. It's just easier than spending years bickering over what we can say, and we are very unlikely to reach any agreement. - [[User:NewCrusader|NewCrusader]] |

| | :::One final thought on this. I would encourage you to take the view that if you '''don't''' offer your readership ''some'' kind of answer to 'The Big Question', they will go off-site and Lord knows there's no way you would want them typing 'sexual intercourse' into their browser to Google the info, is there? You can easily imagine where they would end up. Why not offer them correct and 'Conservapedia-appropriate' information that you are comfortable with instead of driving them away to find out about it at more salacious sources? If you provide the information, you control how that is presented. Not providing the information is simply encouraging searches at less 'trustable' sources.

| | + | |
| | + | '''Sexual intercourse''' is the physical mechanism by which [[human beings]] [[reproduce]] and produce [[offspring]]. During sexual intercourse, the male's [[sperm]] can [[fertilise]] the female's [[egg]], shortly thereafter the mother becomes [[pregnancy|pregnant]], and the [[child]] forms in the [[womb]]. |
| | + | |
| | + | I suggest the above for the content of this article. I have removed the references to the body parts, in the interest of getting ''anything'' better than what is currently in this article. The article is locked, so perhaps we can discuss this with the intent of putting this os something similar in here? [[User:EngelUmpocker|EngelUmpocker]] 17:28, 23 May 2008 (EDT) |
