I think that's too strict in some ways; it depends. If we're talking about commons, certainly. If we're talking about wikipedia, I'd prefer a necessity test. In other words, would a non-sexual image do a worse job at illustrating the article? If so, include a sexual image. If not, don't.

So do we all agree that the Principle of Least Astonishment needs to be encoded into some kind of policy or guideline? In other words, images with a sexual context should only appear in articles/categories that also have a sexual context. Otherwise, Wikipedia naturally tends towards an editorial policy dictated by 20-year-old single white males who see no problem with keeping pictures of naked women in every corner of Wikipedia and Commons.
Yes.
