There's a concept that many are missing here, namely that there is a concept of *gratuitous expressions (via various media) - a concept that most people are and in fact have been sensitive to - and which people at Commons deserve a lot of credit for exercising a degree of sensible moderation over the years.
Exhibitionism for its own sake has no place on Wikipedia. While I think you and others are right to raise the issue of cultural puritanicalism as something we should not support, that's not to say that everything in pornographic culture belongs in Free Culture. Is it the dissenting argument that Commons is no longer an island of Free Culture?
