Yes, on an article about human, it is perfectly logical to see a human 
in its natural state : nude.

See http://en2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human

In this case, the topic of the article is the *penis*

Not *circumsision*

...an article on which there is *currently* no picture.

If so, let's change the picture legend.

We put at the top of the article the natural picture of a penis, with a 
legend stating "this is a penis"

Then, much more at the bottom of the article, we indicate that some 
people have their penis transformed, and we put the relevant picture 
with a label "circonsized penis"

Labelling the normal penis a "uncircumsized penis" is POV.
