Diagrams instead of photos would probably be better.
Since some people seem to have problems with photos, I agree to replace them with diagrams, find some other solution, but I also think it wouldn't hurt if we left the article unchanged - except if lots of people consider it offensive. --Optim.
PS> Below I wrote some comments, my POV, feel free to ignore or left unread:
It is really a surprise for me to see such a discussion in Wikipedia during ***2004***... (POV follows) I thought the dark ages were past. (POV ended) I know however that my liberal standards are a bit higher than most people, and I do admit that during reading this discussion on this subject I laughed many times thinking about the development of human spirit, (POV follows) from my point of view I find it ridiculous (POV ended) and it makes me to feel sad.
Anyway, if pictures of sexual organs really offend some people, we should take care of this. As an encyclopedia, Wikipedia should not be offensive. Better to use diagrams. I hope nobody will find them offensive!
(humour follows) Now, I would like to make my own addition to the "offensive material" issue. Article [[Child]] has an offensive photograph! It is the photo of a White child. But not all children are white. There are black and yellow children too! So this article is offensive to non-Whites and it is written from a White's Point Of View, which is against the NPOV spirit! I strongly suggest to remove this photo and replace it with a photo showing three children: one white, one black and one yellow, representing the friendship between the races and the unity of humanity! (in case you are wondering, I am White). (humour ends)
(more humour, dont read it) And additionally the current [[Penis]] article says "The penis is capable of erection for use in sexual intercourse." but this is POV, because erection is also used in [[Masturbation]]. So Masturbators would find this article offensive and POV! :) (more humour ends, continue reading below)
***Let's replace quickly the "questionable images" with diagrams or find some other solution which will keep everyone happy, and stop wasting our time with penises!***
