Also, it's probably worth pointing out that most of the people here
ultimately seem to be urging a re-examination of Flickr-licensed images in
general, not so much specifically sexual ones.

I don't think it's helpful or useful to classify images that aren't
currently being used in an article somewhere as second class, or more
readily deletable. There are, I think it safe to say, TONS of images on
Commons that aren't being used anywhere. So what if we have male nudes far
in excess of what would ever need to be used in one article? The point of
commons isn't as a hosting substitute for Wikipedia's article, it is as a
repository of free images. For most purposes, people will only need one
image out of a group, but offering a variety from which they can choose can
only be beneficial.
If the free-ness of an image can be reasonably disputed, fine, go ahead and
delete it, but don't start setting up separate standards for deletion based
on an image's use.

Actually I don't care if the image has sexual content or not. There are
some points we should consider:
At first I don't trust all the claims on flickr.
Second there may be content that violate personality or other legal
issues.
Some of the images were uploaded years ago and at that time we had other
measurement criterias as today, so I think a reexamination should be
done, this totally unrelated to the content of the images.

Hi,
I believe that we have a lot of images from flickr with sexual
content. And there is no way to make sure that the (Fe)male on the
photo agrees with the photo on commons or the licence it is under.
I have tryed to nominate images like that for deletion. I can say all
image are kept. The main reasson was the image is free so we can have
it.
I believe that image with sexual content have to be checked... Do we
need it... Is it really free.... Isn't there a other option than a
image.
We have more than one category with nude male or female images and
most of them are not in use on any project. I don't think we need the
images with very young people on it.
