stories, are much more to the point than the darker corners of sexology, of which no one can possibly expect 'complete coverage'.
On this point, how complete would you expect to go? Since you raise it.
As a person previously acquainted with terms like felching (though not, I admit, the experience), I have found Wikipedia's coverage broad if not deep. One thing that is beginning to change my mind about [[Donkey punch]], which I VfD'd the other day, is a dim memory of my youthful and rather eclectic readings in which I read, in a description of the writings of de Sade, an account of a man copulating with a ewe and slitting its throat so as to benefit from the vaginal contractions induced by its death throes. The Donkey punch article cites a similar reason for a man striking his sexual partner as he buggers her. This is brutal, horrid stuff, but we've got articles on more brutal acts. Clearly the folklore (which I don't expect to see confirmed empirically for obvious reasons) about death spasms bearing on the penis is of some considerable persistence. It's encyclopedic.
