The problem is, we live in a biased world where you can find much, much more female nudity in fine art musem than male nudity. I'm currently post-treating and uploading pictures from the Museum of Fine Arts of Rennes (France) and the only naked male body is a sculpture of a boy/young teenager playing, while they are lot of naked women, both in sculpture and paintings. Half-naked men are more often corpses than sexy budies. (If you want I can create a gallery with all artworks showing naked or half-naked women).
What can I do with that ? Not uploaded pictures of artworks with naked women ? Working harder to have awesome pictures of artworks with naked men ?

It seems strange to talk about "Featured Pictured Candidates" as though it is a process, or talk about "bias" -- from what I could discern when I looked into it last time around, it's basically a system that lets anybody promote their own work, as long as they know how to jump through a couple pretty straightforward hoops and wait a few months.
I still think that simply, clearly, *documenting* the process in a practical sense would be a useful first step toward thinking up and building interest in a more refined system. Until somebody puts in the effort to do something like that, we're going to continue to see weird entries on the front page of Commons (and many other projects that use Commons' front page image on their own front page) simply because one person took the initiative to make it happen.
Not because the "community" at Commons made a bad decision. The "community" didn't make a decision at all.

Speaking of gender and nudity, it seems the bias towards female nudity
at en.wiki's Featured Picture Candidates is still as strong as ever. And check out the quality comments at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Featured_picture_candidates/The_Pearl...
After you guys are finished photographing your all-male cumshots, maybe
you could find some nice nude male art to nominate at Featured Picture Candidates. Too bad Robert Mapplethorpe is still copyrighted.

If you are curious about the images used in the same article on other language editions of Wikipedia you can use Manypedia. For the page "Cumshot", it seems currently the same image is used on all language editions, while the Spanish one uses one more image http://www.manypedia.com/#%7Cen%7CCumshot%7Ces and the Japanese a different additional one. http://www.manypedia.com/#%7Cen%7CCumshot%7Cja
Of course this is not to say that if all language editions of Wikipedia represent the same concept using the same images, this is the best way of representing it. But at least you can appreciate differences in representations of different language communities. For example see the page Underwear on English and Arabic Wikipedia, http://www.manypedia.com/#%7Cen%7CUnderwear%7Car
Hope it helps.

I'm not sure the technical term for it either, but the laymen's term is female ejactulation. *shrugs*

Gay porn is underrepresented in these articles.

So if I was too implicit in my statement. As Andreas surmised, I meant re-do that photo to make it male on male. Or do a second one that's
male on
male. Go for it!
As for female "ejaculation" since ejaculation is putting out sperm, I don't think women do it.
Women obviously -- geez, I don't what you call it besides "get wet."
And
maybe orgasms squeeze some of it out an orifice. But I don't think
that's
ejaculation. But I do now know I don't what the technical terms are
or if
there are any!!
