Needs to be cleaned up: Bigger Is Better In Bed

This page is still flooded from when people added just anyone with a big dick because it was called Biggus Dickus. Unfortunately, I'm really not sure with most of these examples, does someone feel competent enough for that?

Hmmm, I keep an eye on this page (being the one who executed the rename, during which I took off a bunch of examples), and I haven't seen any real problems.

Keep in mind the "better sex" doesn't have to be an explicit thing, it can be implicit as well. I know that can make it a little fuzzy on occasion, but again, I haven't seen an issue with it.

I think the only issue I have with it is the long, specific list of porn examples ... I mean, yeah, they fit the trope as it's written, but we can certainly pare those down so we don't list half the Internet, can't we?

I think I could cut that down to a single entry, basically saying that this trope is used so often in porn, listing specific examples is pointless.

Any objections?

[up][up]No, there is no way that half of the internet is gay guys. There must be some females with no dicks.

No really, why remove it? There Is No Such Thing As Notability, plus by that logic we should just delete the page.

[up]If we did that, we would have to do that for many other non sex tropes.

[up] Because when people start linking to specific porn sites ( like one example I've seen ) that's kind of a problem.

For some tropes, when it becomes so ubiquitous that's it's shorter to list aversions/subversions/other such things, we don't list straight examples.

But this is something that is so ubiquitous for only one type of media. And since having one section of a page be aversions/subversions while the rest is the trope being played straight would be confusing...this is probably the best solution.

Bump. So no other objections to me cleaning out the porn stuff?

If none, we can probably lock this one.

NSFW links are definitely not okay. You don't need permission to pull those. If there are porn examples, they should NOT have links to the source.

Rhymes with "Protracted."

Well, I went through the list...and there was only one NSFW link in the Porn section. The rest are just links to Wikipedia, of all places.

Edit: Hollered for a lock to take down the tag, since this seems to be settled.
