I doubt that 4-year-olds can profitably read our text.
Still, we shouldn't bar them from reading, so your point is OK.

I would send a 10-year-old to [[en:Peyronie disease]] without reservation.

What good would that do the 10-year-old interested in Peyronie disease?
You may not be a prude, but you still equate nudity with pornography,
so you may as well be one.  I want to see pictures of Peyronie disease,
not bowlderised drawings (detailed drawings that aid understanding are OK),
nor irrelevant "juicy" porn just to demonstrate that you're not a prude.
