I should note that I agree that such an image has no place as the photo of the 
day on the Wikimedia Commons, due to its erotic/pornographic nature. It is a 
very æsthetic work of art, and I found it appealing, but it has no place being 
featured as the front page image.

And for the record, I am a heterosexual male, who opposes censoring 
pornography, erotica, partial pornography, etc. of all kinds[Censorship], but 
think there are contexts where they are inappropriate.

[Censorship] - in fact, I would argue that such calls for censorship undermine 
a person's right on their body, and sexual freedom for both genders.
