Talk:Intercrural sex

message: What does the new image have to do with the topic? Is there any evidence that intercrural sex is meant to be inferred to be taking place?  --Strait 23:53, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Is there any quantitative evidence that this is mainly a gay practice?  Plenty of heteros do this, especially when one or both partners is sexually inexperienced.

message: My spouse learned intercrural from an earlier bisexual partner, and taught it to me as a form of foreplay. Intercrural has all the safe sex and pregnancy avoidance advantages of the handjob, while giving some pleasure to the woman as well. The woman could possibly come to orgasm while doing intercrural, by fingering her clit.
Although I had read much about sexual practices by the time I met my spouse, I had never encountered intercrural. Nor was it talked about in the bawdy world of my youth, which very frequently joked about dildos, oral, anal, mutual masturbation, and more. I have concluded that intercrural is not well known among North American straights. I will now propose an explanation. The entry says that among Calcutta men who engager in homosexual acts, 88% of Hindus admit to intercrurial, but only 40% of Moslems, figures I do not wish to question. Keep in mind that intercrurial is not seriously taboo in any religion except medieval Christianity. Hence Hindus and Moslems are about equally likely to admit to the practice. Recall that Hindus are uncircumcised, while Moslems and most adult Americans are circumcised. Therefore, the propensity to engage in intercrurial sex is correlated with the absence of the foreskin. Intercrurial is easy and fun for an uncircumcised man, but requires ample lubrication when the man is circumcised. It should be noted that intercrural tends to put too much tension on the frenulum compared to vaginal intercourse.
To my surprise, my spouse derives some pleasure from intercrural. I am also surprised it is not more widely known among teenagers as a form of safe sex that is less embarrassing and degrading for women than fellatio. Again, Americans are the chattiest people in the world about sexual practices, and educated American men usually lack a foreskin. The proportion of American teens who are uncircumcised has risen of late. I predict that intercrural will soon become part of popular culture. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 202.36.179.65 (talk) 18:04, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Just how could this be penetrative sex?
(question asked by anonymous reader)
:answer:
The male "penetrates" the gap between his partner's thighs. Ok, it's a stretch.

thread_title:  Penetration 

message: Sumata and intercrural sex are obviously two different activities -- intercrural is strictly "male places penis between partner's thighs and thrusts" which simulates intercourse. It involves legs and thrusting. Sumata is more a form of frottage by the female on the male, using different body parts. Lap dancing versus thigh humping. Sumata is not simulated intercourse. If you muddy the difference between Sumata and Intercrural Sex, then you might as well throw in titty fucking (mammary intercourse) and hand jobs into the same article. Probably throw in that thing foot fetishists have done to them too... foot jobs? Could probably thrown in tribadism too. And armpit humping.
Alternatively, one could argue that the purity of the Intercrural Sex article should not be sullied with oddball practices like Sumata and armpit humping. Intercrural Sex (male humping partner's thigh gap) is clearly of historical and demographic significance. I mean, come on... Abe Lincoln or Shaka Zulu humping their bed partner's closed thighs (male or female) is completely different from either of them getting a serious lap dance at a hot strip club (Tropical Lei in LA comes to mind).

message: Abraham Lincoln? Seriously? I think more sources are needed to assert that a U.S. President dry humped another guy. 
As sex columnist Dan Savage says, "Other scholars insist that Lincoln is way too old, way too dead, and way too presidential to have been gay. Unless we're prepared to exhume Lincoln and test his thighs for DNA, we may never know the truth."

message: "Thighjob" describes the same sex act and is better known than "intercrural sex". (see Google Trends: [thighjob] [intercrural sex] [intercrural]) 
It should be mentioned as a slang synonym in the opening sentence, but I can't find a way to work it in naturally without making a run-on sentence. 
1. It ought to be stated that it is a slang term, 
2. ideally some clarity of tone should be achieved, and 
3. the opening sentence is already quite full with other basic details. 
I don't think I have the writing skill to make it sound natural. The fellatio page brings some ideas to mind. Maybe I'm just immature, but I think "thighjob" on its own could sound dissonant from the academic tone of the paragraph, and crass. Fellatio contains the term "blowjob" as you might expect, but they also went so far as to include a couple others, like "sucking off". I think that breaks the ice in a way, right? But there are not that slang terms for a thighjob. It's not really a commonly discussed sex act, so I worry some readers might react to the word with stigma. 
To be clear, I believe Wiki is not firstly academic in tone, though: the 5 Pillars page states that Wiki's tone should be impartial. I'm likely biased, and overthinking, so this is why I'm here. I hope one of you bold talk page readers might try the edit in my stead.
