The specific example could easily be fixed by making [[Labium]] the 
disambiguation page, and moving the current content to something like 
[[Labium (genitalia)]].  The explicit title would avoid surprises  When 
did the word "labium" become anything other than an innocent scientific 
term.  Referring to the entire Wikipedia community as sexual fetishists 
just because of your personal dislike of explicit photographs is 
unnecessarily inflammatory.
