The image is an excellent illustration of its subject. However I would prefer a policy which excluded both it and the article in which it is used as an illustration. I'm not sure how the policy should be elaborated in our policy pages, but essentially this sort of material is incompatible with our core mission, to provide an accessible compendium of knowledge to the world. I was discussing Wikipedia with a Mohs surgeon the other day, he happened to be a Mormon. Other than the articles on dermatology and Mohs surgery, we talked about his 13 year old daughter who had been discouraged by her school from using Wikipedia. An article such as Pearl necklace (sexuality) adds little to a girl's knowledge base in comparison to the barrier it raises to her use of the encyclopedia. I suggest that Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not include Wikipedia is not a manual of sexual practices. It could be phrased Wikipedia is not the Karma Sutra.
