Untitled
[edit]- Sexual activity, that is characterized by raw, unlimited, brutish practices (to be classified as F65.8 in WHO's ICD-10)
I actually looked it up and the categorization lists F65.8 as "Other disorders of sexual preference" - a sort of catch-all for "Disorders of sexual preference" (the others are Fetishism, Fetishistic transvestism, Exhibitionism, Voyeurism, Paedophilia, Sadomasochism, Multiple disorders of sexual preference, and Disorder of sexual preference, unspecified). Since that definition overlaps the Zoophilia article (especially since this is specifically bestiality), this is reduntant. Plus, it is badly written. Transfinite 02:58, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
Umm, nice try, but I'm not convinced we need this picture in the article. For one thing, does it really depict bestiality, as Pan was a god not human, and wasn't Pan like half goat-like himself? Georgeslegloupier 18:32, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
"Animal" or "Non-human Animals" ?
[edit]Humans are animals. lol. Humans are also vertebrates, mammals, and primates. Shouldn't this article be more clear by using "non-human animals"? aCute 02:47, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
Neologism
[edit]I removed the stuff on bestiality being a neologism, as this seems incorrect. The meanining seems to be covered by the OED entry on bestiality "unnatural connexion with a beast" (citations from the 17th and 18th century) although the OED also mentions that this meaning is obsolete. Moreover, similar words with exactly the intended meaning have occuring in other Indo-European languages for much longer, e.g., the leading dictionary of the Dutch language has had an entry on this sinds the 1950s. So, I'm suspecting that the recent use in English isn't that recent either. -- Koffieyahoo 09:02, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
- Correct. And "bestialsexuality" never existed as an antecedant to the term. The closest to that is "Bestiosexuality" coined by Allen in 1979 or so, a term which never caught on. FT2 (Talk | email) 14:40, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
