I'd also like to hear about specific examples of content on Commons that a parent might not find appropriate for their children.
Wil and all,
Note that all the links I am posting below are NSFW.

The other day I found that if a Portuguese or Russian child searches in Commons for the word "Mom" in their language, on the first page of search results they will find this NSFW image:

In the Portuguese case, it's actually the top result.

There are many other images by the same artist in Commons that parents might find inappropriate:

A while ago, the top result for the French word for "homework" was an old b&w video showing sex between an actress dressed as a nun and a dog. That particular video was eventually deleted, after enjoying a half-year stint as one of the most-viewed files on Commons, with 20,000 to 30,000 views per month:

However, all the other videos from the same series are still on Commons:

Most of them show various forms of unsimulated intercourse etc.

Commons contains dozens of masturbation videos uploaded by volunteers, housed in

Check the various subcategories like
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:GIF_videos_of_male_masturbation https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Ogv_videos_of_male_masturbation
and so forth.
There is much more of that ilk, but it's a start.
