Someone vandalized the beginning of the article. Seeing as I can't remove it, it has to be a hack. Please have someone come fix this.

The article Homosexuality is undergoing revision. The revised version is available in the Sandbox and the project documentation and coordination is taking place in the Sandbox's talk page.

I would appreciate if people joined in. I'm currently looking towards forming a team for the revision and future maintenance of this article.

Thank you,

That link has a much better article on human sexuality than this wikipedia. You may want to take some notes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by TheThomas (talk • contribs) 20:05, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That is some stupid crap that is currently quoted in this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by TheThomas (talk • contribs) 20:08, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

And unless I'm mistaken, the whole "second born more likely to be homosexual or bisexual due to in-utero chemicals" pretty clearly seems to be an argument for nature. Not only that, it's an unsupported claim. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.140.157.69 (talk) 05:41, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

To claim the fact that some twins share similar sexual orientations because of genetics, as an argument for "nature," discounts how having similar upbringings can affect sexual orientation. Like most things, evidence usually indicates a combination of environment and genetics. For example, in Greek and Roman culture it was considered normal to have homosexual relationships with other males. In modern American culture, this is largely considered taboo. People cannot simply be defined as gay or straight based on a genetic makeup. They may be more or less inclined to have homosexual attractions due to genetics, but especially since sexuality develops over time, I'd say there is plenty of room to argue either side. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jeraldojuice (talk • contribs) 21:10, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

To me that says that there needs to be an outpouring of information onto this page. Once the basic facts are down, more focus need be given to editorializing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by TheThomas (talk • contribs) 20:22, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Why is there no mention of there being people who are polysexual, this article presupposes the idea that sex is binary and doesn't allow for intersexuals to be a part of sexuality (that is, if we accept that narrow concepts in it). For more information on this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polysexual http://frank.mtsu.edu/~phollowa/5sexes.html

Even if you don't agree that there are more than two sexes (according to the current classifications of what is is to be a man or a woman) it ought to be included in the article as this is about a belief system. The belief that there are 2 sexes vs the belief that there are more than 2 sexes within the human species. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.86.111.140 (talk) 00:00, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think that the possibility of asexuality should be included in this article, perhaps in the sexual attraction section. The way the article is written, it doesn't seem to allow for the possibility of no sexual attraction to naturally occur in humans. One possible link on the subject is AVEN, the Asexual Visibility and Education Network (http://www.asexuality.org/home/). Alternately, a link to (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asexuality) could be included. 128.211.192.105 (talk) 02:35, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"The ways in which people experience and express themselves as sexual beings; the awareness of themselves as males or females; the capacity they have for erotic experiences and responses." I think the second part of the definition is confusing. Sexual identity or sexual self-identification is our awareness as males, females or third sex etc...

We revised the introduction to better explain the new format and topics discussed in the article. The sections edited include the introduction, Nature vs. Nurture debate, biology and physiology. In the bio section anatomy, sexual response and sexual dysfunction were added. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Briannaorozco (talk • contribs) 16:45, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

RE: History section

I decided that this section fits perfect in sociocultural aspects because human history has major influences on how society views sexuality. Aprilmehta (talk) 08:53, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Our total renovations first draft is complete...Please allow us at least 24 hours to complete this renovation. Aprilmehta (talk) 09:39, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It won't be complete until you address the major problems for which I reverted it yesterday. Things like "Upon reading this article, someone will walk away with a piece of mind as to how society explains sexuality in humans" are not appropriate in an encyclopedia article. And please fixing the over-capitalization of headings; and the large number of redlinks that result from putting punctuation inside the wikilink markup. Then it will at least start to look like a wikipedia article, after which you can work on fixing the content errors. Dicklyon (talk) 15:47, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This section needs major work. All of this information is ridiculous.
