Talk:Artificial vagina

Name change

Suggest article be renamed Artficial orifice (or similar) as it's more neutral, especially for the section describing its use as a sex toy. — AMK1211^talk! 23:54, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Unfortunately for that suggestion, the correct - and technical- term is "Artificial Vagina", and therefore usage of any other term will not reflect the accuracy of terminology! Equus caballus (talk) 03:29, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

Picture

I don't think we really need a picture of a couple sex toys on this page. It's inappropriate for children. -CDClock —The preceding unsigned comment was added by CDClock (talk • contribs) 20:29, 13 January 2007.

I've added the image again. Please read the following policy: WP:NOT#CENSORED. The image in question accurately and plainly depicts the article's subject matter, and I believe it is definitely worth including it. Robotman1974 09:01, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Kid's search for artificial vagina's on wikipedia?!?

Advert for Fleshlight

Fleshlight deserves it's own article or section.

Please view these results returned by Inventory dot overture.

Searches done in August 2005 Count Search Term 18611 fleshlight

Count Search Term 5316 male sex toy

Count Search Term 8676 sex toy for men

Count Search Term 3450 artificial vagina

As you can see, there are more searches for the Fleshlight brand, than the combined suggested category. The Fleshlight is truely a sexual alternative for men and is not sold as a novelty.

This sounds like a sales pitch. -EdgarAllanToe 20:06, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

S/he does make a good point though, Rabbit has it's own article. So should fleshlight. Mathmo ^Talk 15:27, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

The Fleshlight really gets too much text on the page. I'm trimming it way back. I'd prefer to expand the whole article, but I don't know where I'd find information on artifical vaginas.--Prosfilaes 03:29, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Okay, I've re-worked this article to talk about sex toys and medical simulations, to hopefully remove the emphasis on a particular product. 150.101.214.82 09:10, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

Vaginae???

Is vaginae a real word? What is wrong with vaginas ? It certainly sounds less awkward... what do the rest of you editorae think? 67.49.8.228 07:27, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Written by a virgin?

"Though the natural vagina does not include any nubs and ribs inside the tunnel..."

Um. Yes they do. -98.230.53.210 (talk) 03:55, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

"Artificial vagina" not a word used to refer to sex toys.

If "artificial vaginas" are really used in animal breeding, that is an entirely different thing than sex toys for adult humans, Fleshlights and the like. Toys like the Fleshlight and the Tenga are more commonly referred to as "masturbators" or "male masturbators" or "masturbation toys". This article is all wrong. I work in a sex shop and have been trained extensively, I have never, ever, ever heard anybody call and ask for an "artificial vagina". They only ask for fleshlights and masturbators or "toys for men" or "masturbation sleeve".

I suspect that the original point of the article was to describe the device used for breeding animals, then somebody decided that sex toys for men are the same thing. They are not. Male masturbation devices need their own article and should be completely separated from this page. Nobody uses the term artificial vagina for these things, and it would be entirely inaccurate to call them that anyway. Most of them are not vagina-shaped or even intended to look like a vagina. There are some that look like a mouth, some that look like an anus, and some that look like none of the above or don't have any particularly descriptive features, and are just a soft sleeve.

I am not sure how to go about the splitting. The fact that these toys are lumped into this article is inaccurate and somewhat offensive (that they must be imitating vaginas - they are not necessarily. Some are, some are not.)

Also the person who made a comment saying that calling it an "artificial orifice" is inaccurate, was wrong. That would be a better name than this.

I am worried that nobody else who knows anything about sex toys has ever taken a look at this article at all. It needs more attention - men buy these things and I'm sure some look them up on wikipedia to try to understand them. As it is, this article is entirely not-useful and possibly damaging to their knowledge about the topic.
