The natural state of people is without clothes. Should we post only nude photographs of people we write about?
Yes, on an article about human, it is perfectly logical to see a human in its natural state : nude.
See http://en2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human
In this case, the topic of the article is the *penis*
Not *circumsision*
...an article on which there is *currently* no picture.
I think the picture of the circumsized penis has nothing to do in that article and should be moved to the article about circumsision (a difficult word to spell).
I don't agree. If a significant fraction of males worldwide are circumcised then certainly the picture is relevant to the article.

If so, let's change the picture legend.
We put at the top of the article the natural picture of a penis, with a legend stating "this is a penis"
Then, much more at the bottom of the article, we indicate that some people have their penis transformed, and we put the relevant picture with a label "circonsized penis"
Labelling the normal penis a "uncircumsized penis" is POV.
