intimate parts

I think this should be kept but I can imagine someone saying this is sum of parts. Here (What are the intimate parts?) is someone asking what intimate parts are. --Dan Polansky (talk) 20:48, 21 September 2014 (UTC)

This has ~25,000 hits on Google Books, making it a tenth as common as private parts (~221,000). But is it just any part that is intimate? One book says this, for example: "Intimate parts, as defined in Minnesota Statues Section 609.341, include the primary genital area, groin, inner thigh, buttocks or breast, as well as the clothing covering these areas."

So this statutory definition seems broader than genitalia, since genitalia would not include inner thigh, buttocks and clothing covering these areas. Does it actually ever mean genitalia only? --Dan Polansky (talk) 21:06, 21 September 2014 (UTC)

In my idiolect private parts would be more likely used of males and intimate parts of females, which difference would constitute one good reason to keep the entry, if supported by authority, overwhelming opinion, or citations. DCDuring TALK 12:32, 22 September 2014 (UTC)

I imagine we are lacking a sense of intimate, "[o]f or involved in a sexual relationship" doesn't cover it, nor does "[p]ersonal; private". I'd imagine this should be kept no matter what definitions we add or modify. Renard Migrant (talk) 16:43, 22 September 2014 (UTC)

google books:"intimate interview", it seems to me we don't have a sense to cover that either. Renard Migrant (talk) 16:44, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
