Looks like gay with sex to me. --Æ&Œ (talk) 01:30, 3 November 2012 (UTC)

On the one hand, the most common sense of "gay" ("attracted to members of the same sex") isn't the one used here: sex between a lesbian beard and a homosexual man is not "gay sex", while sex between two heterosexual men is "gay sex". On the other hand, this is exactly def 4.2 of [[gay]]: "Being between two people of the same gender or the same sex; especially, being between two men." Lean delete. (But for Matthias Buchmeier, I note that "gay sex" is a lot more common than the single word "homosex".) - -sche (discuss) 01:59, 3 November 2012 (UTC)

I was going to say “weak keep” for that reason, but there might be a stronger case. I found gaysex in Poetry Wales volumes 35-36, 2069 + 1, and Cosmopolitan volume 213. DAVilla 03:19, 3 November 2012 (UTC)

I don't think COALMINE can apply here, because gaysex and gay sex do not seem like the same word, they are pronounced differently (at least, going by how I would pronounce them). —CodeCat 04:05, 3 November 2012 (UTC)

As Ruakh wrote the last time you claimed that, "That's an interesting idea, but […] that's basically equivalent to dismantling COALMINE. Because no one can ever prove such a thing". - -sche (discuss) 08:17, 3 November 2012 (UTC)

Google's snippet isn't showing me the relevant bit of Cosmo, so I can't tell if it's a scanno or not, but I found this, which is spelt consistently in the snippets Google shows me and so is not a scanno and probably not a misspelling. - -sche (discuss) 08:26, 3 November 2012 (UTC)

Although -sche is right in that "gay sex" doesn't normally refer to "sex between a lesbian beard and a homosexual man," it could be used that way for a humorous effect. Delete. --BB12 (talk) 09:03, 3 November 2012 (UTC)

And straight sex doesn't refer to sex between two heterosexual men. So what? There are a lot of things than gay sex doesn't mean, I wouldn't recommend making a list of them. Mglovesfun (talk) 20:22, 3 November 2012 (UTC)

Delete SOP (unless, sigh, COALMINE says otherwise).​—msh210℠ (talk) 06:42, 9 November 2012 (UTC)
