Would anyone like to try and claim that Wikipedia is NOT-MISOGYNISTIC?

If so, please explain Category:suspension bondage.
Only two of the 56 images show men being tortured and/or killed.

Those inclined towards men are too busy photographing their anuses to tend to that shortage at the moment.

Edit: Also the Spanking category has this helpful notice: "Please note that low-quality images with no realistic educational use nor a purpose within the Wikimedia projects may be deleted. For further information, see Commons:Nudity."

Unfortunately they have 102 (arguably 103) photos more than is necessary for "realistic educational use."

Edit II: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bo%...3%A0_gifles.jpg

One of the three images in the "Spanking machines" category, the only one worksafe.

Is there an alternative hypothesis explaining ... the steadily increasing age of sexual activity onset coincident with wider internet availability here in the US?

Sure, that's easy. Over the period of the study, the population of Hispanics in the United States has increased dramatically, especially in the childhood and teen age cohorts. They are more likely to be Catholic, and thus adhere to a more conservative approach toward sexuality (i.e., abstinence), so we are seeing the impact of this demographic seismic shift in the age of onset of sexual activity. Thankfully, the increased use and availability of Internet porn isn't having much to do with increasing the sexual activity among (Catholic) Hispanics, because of the digital divide (i.e., Hispanics are not as likely as non-Hispanics to be connected to the Internet).

That might have something to do with it, but I'm not sure 35 million Hispanics in 2000 to 50 million at present can completely explain the magnitudes of kids waiting to have sex. Other kids have to be waiting longer too, don't they? If it was 0 to 50 million over the same time period, those figures would be about the size, assuming all Hispanics never have sex as teens, which isn't right either. It turns out Hispanics get pregnant about 50% more often than most kids, but I don't know how much of that is due to birth control taboos.

• As the Baby Boomers age, the visible population becomes less sexually engaging.
• The obesity epidemic is reducing testosterone levels in pubescent males.
• As sex is associated with crazy people on television and the Internet, it becomes something to be avoided by youths.

Amazing. Thoughtful answers that on the whole seem very plausible and are by no means 100% pro-Wikipedia. (Ignore the last very short reply!) I find it hard to know if the picture they paint is slightly too rosy, though I am inclined to believe it is. However, it is no whitewash.
