Reference Sources
[edit]Having difficulty finding any reference sources useful in terms of definition of what items constitute valid genital jewellery. However, several sources do use the term, in a manner implying general understanding of the term as descriptive of (at least some of) the objects described in the article. eg.
- Australasian Society for HIV Medicine, Vol 15., Issue 4., October 2006
- Richard Crosby et.al. Slips, breaks and ‘falls’: condom errors and problems reported by men attending an STD clinic International Journal of STD and AIDS (2008).
Other than these, and those already cited in the article, most search results are for sales of these items - where catalogue lists include most, if not all of the items indicated in the article.
Per the deletion discussion, probably worth holding on to the article to allow additional (useful) references to surface. Best wishes --Haruth (talk) 03:18, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
- Reading references that have been posted so far, there doesn't seem to be much about jewellery as much as passing mentions related to genital piercing, which is why I boldly made the redirect despite surviving the AfD (without sources to prove notability!). Seems to me, with the lack of material on genital jewellery, the proper course of action should be to merge any relevant content to genital piercing, as its own section, unless there's enough sources to show that genital jewellery not involving piercing exists and is notable.--70.80.234.196 (talk) 12:00, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
Come on!
[edit]I can't help but get the feeling that this article exists solely to display the inordinate (yes, three can be inordinate) number of photos that current make up the bulk of the page. Even Wikipedia should be better than this.--172.190.185.19 (talk) 01:18, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
Prince Albert myth
[edit]The unsourced suggestion that “some genital jewelry has been around since the Victorian times” is a plain myth and should be removed from the page. There is no historical evidence for Prince Albert to have had such a piercing and the earliest attribution of such a piercing is attested to the 1960s or 1970s. 2600:1700:C430:22A0:75B6:A213:21F2:46A1 (talk) 17:01, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
