Did you look at the examples Larry mentioned in his post?

There are many more: e.g.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep-throating, viewed more than 50,000 times this month (this actually had three rather than two images until a couple of days ago: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Deep-throating&oldid=494580914)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tit_torture (16,000+ views this month)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bukkake (120,000+ views this month)

Basically, if you go through the articles listed in en:WP templates like the sexual slang template, the Outline of BDSM template etc. you will come across many such articles, all with high viewing figures.

According to my understanding of US law, any Wikimedian who uploads or inserts such an image without having documentation of model age, name, and publication consent is in breach of US law; see discussion at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Philippe_(WMF)#Implications_of_2257_record_keeping_requirements_for_editors.3F

My first thought was that this indeed is a red herring in terms of addressing the gendergap, however in my limited editing experience I do at times feel like Wikipedia is a boys' club, and perhaps the prevalence of pornography goes some way to an imagining of what is hanging on the clubhouse walls

Hi,

I edit Wikipedia a lot. I probably spend more time than I should editing Wikipedia. Can I ask where there is a prevalence of pornography on Wikipedia? I honestly can't think of a single time I have come across it when I wasn't directly looking for it. Misogny to a degree, yes. Discrimination against women's topics and topics outside the United States, youbetcha. But pornography? Maybe I just don't edit articles where pornography is very prevalent?
