Also raised on the Sexual content talk page in Commons are uploads by User:Midnight68.
Some users feel these are out of scope at Commons, and may violate child pornography
laws:

G'day all,
I hope it's appropriate to cross-post this to both commons
and foundation
lists - it seems so to me, and no doubt if there's a
courtesy or practice
I'm unaware of, someone will be kind enough to point it out
:-) (rude words
and nasty comments are ok, but it's better if they rhyme.)
Discussions at the meta page where Robert Harris is posing
some related
questions is gently dying down -
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:2010_Wikimedia_Study_of_Controversial_C…
and over on commons we're approaching another poll about
whether to adopt
the 'sexual content' policy proposal -
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons_talk:Sexual_content#Another_poll.…
What appears to be the largest point of discussion extant
is whether or not
media featuring sexual content should contain at least an
assertion that all
of the participants consent to the upload / publishing of
the material - you
can see some folk arguing that we shouldn't apply such a
condition
retrospectively, and maybe not at all -
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons_talk:Sexual_content#Automatic_del…
I believe consent is desirable across the board in regard
to sexual content,
and would like to see this sort of wording ratified as
policy -
http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Commons:Sexual_content&o…
The discussions are actually pretty substantial, civil,
useful, and
generally better than we've managed in the past, and of
course the more
outside views on the matter, the better - so if you're at
all inclined to
share your thoughts on the commons specific side of how WMF
handles sexual
content, please do pipe up, either ahead of, or as part of
the upcoming
poll....
cheers,
Peter,
PM.
