According to IMDB, Whylip Lee is an actor, which also implies male gender. However one of his roles is listed as "nurse", which makes this not impossible, but still female gender quite more likely. Does anyone know the basics of Whylip Lee? Gender, race, approximate age? Maybe is there an image? (In the best known film Top Gun: Maverick, Whylip Lee is credited, but maybe not shown - at least not in a way to be uniquely identified. In Sharknado: The 4th Awakens, Lee is only shown in the background. In Rosewood Lane, Lee is a nurse, but not a sufficiently relevant role to be mentioned in our article. But maybe still someone has seen the film and knows who in it was Whylip Lee?) --KnightMove (talk) 17:02, 19 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Although historically Nursing was an almost exclusively female profession, it has to my knowledge been open to men for decades, and though still in a minority male nurses are commonplace, so I don't think there is any useful 'clue' there.

There are apparently also references to an actor called Wil Whylip Lee, who may or may not be the same person. Google's AI Overview refers to Whylip Lee as "he", but I would not put any reliance at all on that. {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} ~2025-31359-08 (talk) 19:01, 19 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There is a LinkedIn profile for an "Independent Entertainment Professional" of that name. The profile picture shows a man. I don't have an account, so I can't see the full profile. Long is the way (talk) 22:15, 19 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much! Now I know who he is and that he is indeed shown for a second in Top Gun: Maverick. --KnightMove (talk) 06:15, 20 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The premise of Temptation Island is that couples are separated and then put "with a group of single members of the opposite sex whose purpose was to persuade the couples to have an affair". If one the woman persuaders were to actually slept with one of the contestants, wouldn't that mean that she has been paid for having sex? And wouldn't that be illegal? (note that I don't want to be a contestant, so this is not a request for legal advice)≈≈≈ — Preceding unsigned comment added by ~2025-35088-53 (talk) 08:15, 20 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Depends on the jurisdiction where it's filmed. I didn't look up where the US version of Temptation Island is made (apparently some tropical island), but in many parts of the world having sex for money is legal. PiusImpavidus (talk) 09:45, 20 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Seasons 7 and 8 were allegedly filmed in Hawaii, where even "promoting travel for prostitution" is illegal.^[1]  ​‑‑Lambiam 10:48, 20 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This is not legal advice, but if I was writing the script for an episode of CSI: Temptation Island in which a successful tempter or temptress is sued for prostitution, I'd have their lawyer argue that they were paid for appearing tempting and not for sex work, since the payment in no way depended on the success of the persuasion. Continuing this line of defence, the argument may even be that they were actually seduced by the contestant, that they fell in love and had sex out of love, hoping the contestant would leave their unappealing partner for them.  ​‑‑Lambiam 11:10, 20 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I assume that the legal justification is the same as that for pornography. As far as I can tell, the legal argument in the US for why porn is legal whereas prostitution is not, is (a) that it is protected by the First Amendment as "artistic expression", and (b) that the person paying for the sex is not the person having sex. Here is a random article on the subject of pornography vs prostitution. Long is the way (talk) 11:40, 20 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

How can the manga be "originally published between between 2013 and 2016" if there is only one volume according to the infobox? Trade (talk) 00:56, 23 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm fairly sure that it was originally published in monthly installments in the manga magazine X-EROS (alongside installments of various other stories), and only afterwards (re)published complete in its own volume. This is a common comics practice worldwide. {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} ~2025-31359-08 (talk) 01:26, 23 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Our article specifically mentions: Henshin was first serialized in Japan in Comic X-Eros from 26 July 2013 to 26 March 2016. Before being published as a single tankōbon volume. As the temp account above mentions, this is a pretty standard practice. Amstrad00 (talk) 13:48, 24 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This is "volume" in the sense of a run of issues of a periodical. Not "volume" as in a single book. This is also common terminology in comics worldwide. --User:Khajidha (talk) (contributions) 15:35, 24 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

So then "Volumes    1" is incorrect. The hentai originally appeared in serialized form in seven installments, each being one chapter, distributed across issues of Comic X-Eros that were published within a time span of almost three years. It seems that the magazine does not use volume numbers.  ​‑‑Lambiam 09:28, 26 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
