Talk:Sexual intercourse (dictionary)

I started a thread on BoyChat to discuss this topic https://www.boychat.org/messages/1469368.htm I am not sure this is an appropriate entry for BoyWiki but I am willing to hear arguments on both sides before making a decision. --Etenne 12:43, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

I have hundreds more dictionaries--would you like some more definitions? Or would you like to allow the rabble on BoyChat to define English terms? User4 (talk) 14:00, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

If by "rabble" you mean, Would I like to get a better understanding of how the average BL defines and uses this term and if they believe that it relates to us ... then yes --Etenne 14:06, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

Do you really believe that when John Q. Public reads in the paper that Joe Pedo was convicted of having sexual intercourse with a boy, that John Q. Public cares what the "average boylover" thinks that "sexual intercourse" means? Really? 14:09, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

There's the rub because this is a site about the history of boylove and I do care what BL's think think and not at all what the John Q. Public thinks beyond keeping this site legal and close to PG rated--Etenne 14:25, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
