Wikipedia needs spoiler'd images

This and basically every article involving genitals should only have images that are viewed on an "opt in" basis by covering the image and only showing it when clicked on. Articles like this are extremely difficult to read due to the repulsive imagery. Now I know some people might disagree but I think most people would agree with me. 2601:646:8600:2C60:C1BC:7D7F:343B:EDD3 (talk) 23:41, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

See Help:Hiding images for how you can do that on your end. The community has repeatedly and soundly rejected any and all forms of censoring images directly, including show/hide boxen. —A little blue Bori v^_^v ^{Jéské Couriano} 18:33, 9 January 2022 (UTC)

Male smegma - update and more info needed -

Most of the references for this section are half a century old. Surely urologists have a better understanding of the sources and functions of this substance by now?

Also, I still don't KNOW, after reading the article, whether circumcised males produce smegma at all!

Finally, is it not possible to add a clear picture, similar to that for females, of a normal amount of smegma on a natural (uncircumcised) penis? Yes, I'm aware of the edit warring and shock! horror! responses of prudes on this talk page over a decade ago. But there's now no such photo. Surely an Encyclopedia doesn't let the small minds win?! yoyo (talk) 08:14, 12 October 2022 (UTC)

Picture of private part

There is a real picture of a private part. This can be innocently seen by children. This should be replaced by a drawing or a written description. 24.92.143.187 (talk) 02:23, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

Right, because children don't have private parts themselves./s

There's nothing wrong with images of the human body. Anatomy is a key subject taught in biology class. And, please, use the correct wording, "genitalia". Not that hard. And believe me, if you think that such an image is such a problem, there's a lot more serious stuff that you need to be worried about, especially if you have children.

Oh it's hard for them alright. Very, very hard indeed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:484:8000:1B20:6582:4623:79EC:FFD2 (talk) 16:45, 18 September 2025 (UTC)
