That sounds like it works on the basis of keywords, perhaps.
How thoroughly have you tested it, when did you do this test?
Can we check?
Can it block those images from the given category on commons, if
viewed on the actual pages they are used for on wikipedia?
And will it also block images from the subcategory - if used on wikipedia?
I might investigate or even buy this software (if not exceptionally
expensive) and test it extensively if this is the case.

I cannot answer your questions, Kim, as these are generally systems in which
I do not have longterm access; and those that I do have longterm access, I'm
not going to risk my accounts for your experiments. I cannot think of a
legitimate reason why I would be investing a large amount of time checking
all the articles in [[:Category:Sexual positions]] (or the equivalent
Commons category) on those accounts, for example. You may be in a different
situation.
