Talk:Human anus/Archive 2

message: Why is it that in the 'Puberty' section, it discusses hair around the anus as though only males have it? Females have it, too. The way it's worded is misleading. Also, the claims need to be cited.CerealBabyMilk 20:01, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I added anal bleaching again after it was removed because someone said it was an unsourced urban legend. As long as wikipedia hosts the page: Anal bleaching (which implies that Anal bleaching is notable and meets most of the wikipedia guidelines for inclusions), this page should link to it as a Cosmetic treatment. --TrollHistorian 22:24, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I have a new suggestion for the photo, and I'd like to know what people think of it. I, and many other people, think the current picture is disgusting. As Wikipedia is not censored, why don't we remove the current picture, and replace it with three new pictures. The new pictures should contain a different type of (gasp!) anus each. Each anus should be female, and belong to a different race of people. I'm not a politically correct person, but I know that there is more than one color/type of anus. I believe that one picture should contain a White Female Anus, another one should have a Black Female Anus, and the other should show an Oriental Female Anus; however, if an anal photo of any of the three races I said about here is unavailable, a different race would be acceptable. I'm not preaching or promoting diversity or anything like that; I'm just saying that Wikipedia can't just show one type of anus, especially one as disgusting as the one currently on the page. The only thing that needs to be done is to find a picture of the three types of anus I mentioned. Acalamari 17:55, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: If we had an alternative image, we would use it. Finding such an image seems to be quite difficult. Few editors seem willing to submit their own anus as the archetypal anus, and none of our contributors have more than one anus. -- Ec5618 18:02, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  New Picture Suggestion 

message: Image is not as good as the original.  And, consensus image was changed without discussion first.  No offense intended.  Be bold, revert, discuss.  02:42, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Old image was removed for copyright reasons. --h2g2bob 02:49, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

text: I'd be in favour of the new image if it were cropped slightly better. At the moment, the image looks badly framed - the skin surrounding the ringpiece is visible at the top of the image but not at the bottom (no pun intended). --Kurt Shaped Box 11:13, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The skin outside isn't the anus, by any means.  The anus is perfectly framed IMHO.  211.30.71.59 21:02, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ano2 

message: I would like to address the fact that humans also have anal glands.  When mentioning "anal glands", almost everybody (who has heard of them) thinks of dogs.  Most people don't seem to realize that humans have them as well (possibly most mammals).  Anal glands are apocrine sweat glands (as found in the arm pits) that open into the anal crypts, about an inch into the anal canal.  In humans, they are more numerous than in dogs and their secretions are mostly odorless.  It is speculated that their secretions help lubricate bowel movements.
Given the sensitivity of this page, I thought I was post my intentions a bit prior to making any changes to the section on structure.

thread_title:  Deleting Revisions 

message: The shaved and more desirable anus should be the first one to be seen in the article.  With the current setup, the only possible way to admire the smooth, clean anus is to have it in the same frame as the hairy anus.  Please fix this.  --GoatSmoke 20:27, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

text: I don't have a problem with swapping the photos at all and will do it, but I want to rotate the female one first so it is proper; that said, I take issue that the one is more desirable than the other. But that's neither here nor there.  --David Shankbone 20:49, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I hope what Goat is getting at is the less-hairy one makes it easier to see the actual anatomy in question. That's pretty reasonable, but the images in the article presently are not obscured by hair (or anything) at all. From where I'm sitting, you can see enough (read: far too much) asshole, thanks. The (ugh) attractiveness of the image in question is  truly as you say David, neither here nor there. VanTucky (talk) 21:16, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Although the hairless anus is not a realistic depiction of the anus. --BiT 18:47, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That's an opinion, not a fact.  Believe it or not, many people shave their anus because it is more sanitary.  --David Shankbone 21:28, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree. I think the hair probably protects the skin against contact with fecal matter. Furthermore, the likelyhood of an ingrown becoming infected is probably increased because of contact with fecal matter. Hardly seems sanitary to me. Asarelah 03:00, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

message: I can't edit the article because the page is locked but it should be mentioned in the caption for the female anus that it has been depilated. 156.34.212.234 (talk) 16:10, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Why?  --David Shankbone 17:05, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: hehe!  Well, as much ado as there has been about the pics on this page, I do support that this is a less than ideal picture.  The male anus pic appears pretty normal, but the female isn't normal anatomy.  First, as anon-ip mentioned, it is depilated, secondly, she appears to have had a bad episiotomy, or some other wound. An encyclopedia article on anatomy should use illustrations of normal anatomy, unless specifically discussing diseases, injuries, etc..  Also, this article is much nicer than it was a year or so ago.  Then comes the whole issue of finding a cleanly licensed pic, any volunteers? :)  Daniel Santos (talk) 07:07, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

message: A request for this article to be semi-protected was recently denied. This article was previously semi-protected; do Wikipedians honestly think that unregistered users are going to contribute valuable information on the topic of the anus? It's experienced heavy vandalism recently and is wasting the time of users who have to revert it.--h i s   s p a c e   r e s e a r c h 21:57, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes Wikipedians should honestly think unregistered users are going to contribute on the topic of the anus. For example, think about some Doctor who happens to have a very good anus knowledge seeing the article for the first time and noticing some errors, and correcting them. Rest of the world still have more knowledge on these kind of subjects than "active Wikipedia editors". 88.114.251.167 15:40, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Vandalism 

message: I wish to mimic the sentiments of Daniel Santos in stating the woman pictured has undergone an episiotomy or has some sort of scar tissue from some incident. Although I do agree that the fact it's waxed perhaps presents an unrealistic photo, as the majority of men and women don't regularly wax. --71.167.134.137 (talk) 11:35, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

replies: text:  It doesn't matter whether it's the majority, if there is a picture of the "natural" anus of a female and male they should definitely be used as this article's primary photos. This is not a matter of taste, but rather a matter of first displaying how the object looks naturally, so say aliens could look at this article and see "ok, so this is how the anus of a human looks like and it appears that they sometimes perform epilatory actions to make their anuses smoother". You get the point. --BiT (talk) 04:16, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

message: The article gives the impression that as long as good hygeine is used, there is no risk associated with anal sex.  Is this true?

thread_title:  anal sex POV 

message: The lede images have been changing recently, I think a change of the female image from the consensus image to a new image.  Also, the order of the images.
I have not attachement to any particular image, nor the order (m/f or f/m).
However, as it is controversial, and the source of the image is unknown, we should discuss it before changing.  A series of people replacing the female image of the topic with their GF image should be avoided.  If we want to change the images or their order, let's propose the change, look at the alternatives, find consensus, and then leave it along for a period of time -- okay?  Atom (talk) 15:31, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Please propose what image you would like, and we can get input from others.  They may agree with you, or they may propose an image of their own that they like.  The image that you have tried to change the article to has the description "Human female anus with cancer and canker sores and puss on it".  I am not sure that  fits your description of "A natural human female anus." or may be the best choice.  (Although I don't see cancer or canker in the image).
