From compete.com: "In addition to these predictable terms, there was a substantial volume of sexual terms. Apparently Bobby's parents forgot to have the Birds & Bees talk with their son...as did the parents of Billy, Johnny, Julie, Tommy and Susie. Wikipedia is essentially an encyclopedia, so one would assume these searches are for research and learning purposes - a virtual Kama Sutra of sorts...
 
What's interesting about the top sex related terms on Wikipedia is that they do not appear to have gratuitous intent. The top terms include very straightforward inquiries on human reproductive 'parts' and basic concepts of what sex is and how it is performed. It appears many people are learning about what sex is and how to have it by referencing Wikipedia."  http://blog.compete.com/2007/05/31/wikipedia-search-terms/

My comments: What goes around comes around. I can't help but see some connection between Bomis and WP here. However, this above use of WP, probably wasn't one of the planned goals of WP.
