Do Communists Have Better Sex?

(

)

... that sex in East Germany was "earlier, better, [and] more often" than in the West? Source: "Sex in the former GDR was 'earlier, better, [and] more often' than in the West" in Red Hangover: Legacies of Twentieth-Century Communism, p. 117
- ALT1:... that East German women had twice as many orgasms as West counterparts had? Source: "The narrator then reports, 'the East German women's orgasm rate was apparently double that of their West German sisters" in Red Hangover: Legacies of Twentieth-Century Communism, p. 117
- ALT2:... that 90% of the East German population practiced nudism? Source: "Finally, over 90 percent of the East German population participated in the mass culture of nudism that prevailed in the GDR" in Red Hangover: Legacies of Twentieth-Century Communism, p. 117
- ALT3:... that women's independence in East Germany made sex more pleasurable? Source: "the East enjoyed a more relaxed and pleasurable sexuality based on women's independence and assertiveness" in Remembering the German Democratic Republic: Divided Memory in a United Germany, p. 87

Reviewed: I didn't review any article because WP:DYKR says, "people who have made fewer than five DYK nominations are not required to do another review". I've only nominated one article for DYK previously.

I've just nominated a DYK "just above yours" and this is just too intriguing. Damn; I grew up in the West. I'll give it a review... Schwede 66 04:34, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

newness = moved to mainspace five days ago
length = plenty long enough
sourced = nicely referenced
neutral = good discussion of the criticism; all complying with NPOV
plagiarismfree = Earwig's Copyvio Detector was happy
policyother = I've had a read of the German article. This one is much more substantial so there wasn't any undeclared translation going on.
hookcited = I shall AGF all the hooks. In New Zealand, viewing of Google Books is more restricted than in other countries, and I can't see the Red Hangover source at all, and can't get to the relevant page in Remembering the German Democratic Republic.
hookinterest = They are all good. I prefer the original hook; nice, sharp and snappy. ALT1 doesn't read quite right ("that East German women had twice as many orgasms than their West counterparts?" would read better).
qpq = While there are more than five DYK credits, the nominator is correct in saying that only one of those was a self-nomination. All the other credits stemmed from Gabriel Yuji's GAs nominated by other editors, so that's a tick.
status =
comments = really nice work!

Thanks for the review. Not sure about the copyright status so I'll not add a link here, but you can access both Red Hangover and Remembering the German Democratic Republic through Library Genesis if you want to. Gabriel Yuji (talk) 18:27, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
