Paraphilia — The term 'paraphilia' was coined by Wilhelm Stekel in the 1920s, not by Friedrich Salomon Krauss in 1903.
Paraphilia — The term 'paraphilia' first appeared in the DSM-III-R (1987), not the DSM-III (1980).
Phone sex — The claim that phone sex became possible with rotary dial phones, which eliminated the risk of operators listening in, is inaccurate because rotary dial phones did not eliminate operator eavesdropping; direct-dial systems reduced but did not eliminate operator
Phone sex — The claim that phone sex originated when Gloria Leonard began using 976 and 900 numbers is misleading because phone sex existed earlier, such as through party lines and early adult chat services in the 1970s and early 1980s, and Leonard is credited with popula
Polyamory — The Kinsey Institute estimated half a million 'openly polyamorous families' in the United States in July 2009.
Polyandry — The claim that the 1980 Ethnographic Atlas 'considered only those examples found in the Himalayan mountain region (eight societies)' is inaccurate; the Atlas actually recorded four societies with polyandry worldwide, not limited to that region.
Polyandry — The statement that Urukagina of Lagash abolished polyandry around 2300 BC with punishment by stoning is not supported by established historical canon; his known reforms do not mention polyandry or stoning for it.

Swinging (sexual practice) — The statement that 'swingers' rights were added to the mission of the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom in 2002' is incorrect; the NCSF was founded in 1997 and always included consensual non-monogamy in its mission.
Threesome — The claimed book 'Threesomes: Studies in Sex, Power, and Intimacy by Arno Karlen (1988)' does not exist in established academic canon; Arno Karlen is known for other works, not this title.
Threesome — The statistics for male and female participation in threesomes (UK 1987: 34% of 1,862 men, 15% of 2,905 women) and appeal (US 2017: 34.1% of men, 11.1% of women) lack verifiable source references and do not match any commonly cited, established study.
