No, it's an objection to shoving explicit and disgusting images in what is supposed to be an encyclopedia for the purpose of trying to force the world to somehow "de-prudify" itself.
Who has advanced this argument for including the picture?
No one. If you'll look back at the exact sequence of the conversation, you'll understand where this came from. It's predicated on images like the autofelleto one becoming accepted parts of Wikipedia, and is not specific to the photograph in question.
The autofellatio picture has survived one IfD round already and was showing every sign of surviving a second when someone overwrote it with a line drawing. In addition there is at least one other (fair use) autofellatio picture, uploaded by me, and this also has survived IfD. So images like the autofellatio one are already an accepted part of wikipedia.
