wikipedia traffic metrics: sex ed top in searches

by Violet Blue on June 27, 2007

There’s a wee post over on a traffic metrics blog showing that sex (sex ed, especially) is high in Wikipedia search rankings, beating music and movies, and tying with “pop culture”. I wish the author would have included specifics on which sex ed topics are being searched for. But it does show that people are hungry for accurate sex info over titillation, and all that abstinence education, despite the government’s best efforts, is still a big waste. People are going to seek out sex ed no matter what — and that’s a very good thing.

I spent time at a party last weekend with two local pathologists, asking them what they find in people’s butts. The answers were *scary*. So please, please — Wikipedia for all!
