Common courtesy, maybe?

I suggest that Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not
include Wikipedia is not
a
manual of sexual practices. It could be phrased Wikipedia is not the
Karma Sutra.
What about pictures of Muhammad? Descriptions of Chinese human rights
violations? Articles about evolution? etc. etc. etc.
The reason that Wikipedia is not censored is because we cannot censor
one thing and maintain neutrality without censoring everything else
that might offend somebody and we would end up without anything left.
I'm sure there is a name for this logical fallacy, but I'm not going to
spend hours looking for it.
I assume that when you appear in public you cover your private parts. It
does not follow that you need to cover every part of yourself.
