Since this is an article about a term, not a condition, and the term is given in English, i would like to see some English-language sources indicating that the term is in moderately wide us in this sense in English. If this term is in use solely or primarily in German, than the title should be the German word or phrase, with a translation given in the article.

• I agree. I also find it odd that the title of Roedenback-Schaefer's book is translated, making it very hard to find: the book is in fact called Und wer küsst mich? Absolute Beginners - Wenn die Liebe auf sich warten lässt, published by Ch. Links Verlag (what that means for reliability I can't tell), ISBN 978-3861536888.

I also agree. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 01:42, 18 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

Me too - my feeling it is best as a sentence or two in an etymology/alternate names section on either sexlessness or somewhere in virginity article. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 02:51, 18 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

I'm also sure that, per WP:Article title, this title should be lowercase. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 03:18, 18 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

Can anyone tell me what term the German-language sources are using for this concept, if there is in fact a common term. DES ^(talk)_{DESiegel Contribs} 01:36, 20 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

German groups use indeed the english term ("ein absolute beginner"), apparently inspired by a song of that name. You sometimes see the appropriated form "ein absoluter Beginner". 87.184.106.158 (talk) 18:22, 20 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

Drmies, DESiegel (DES), and Casliber (Cas Liber), I see that the article has been expanded and is now up for deletion. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 19:27, 6 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
