:Have you ever tried reading a medical textbook covering some sex-related topic? Many of them have images, just like this article. I agree that sometimes they can make it more challenging for the reader. I have no problems with this article, but to get through a page on STDs I often have to cover the pictures up.
:: The reason you had to COVER UP what you were reading is that NO MATTER WHAT, a paper textbook could NOT have included a statement "(apply pressure here to mask the photos on this page)" (or anything of the sort). They would have had to change the whole printing method (including cardboard masks every second page) or doubled the relevant page count (see "pp. 1822-1825 for this section sans photos"). They don't have a choice, and the poor medical student has to make do. But luckily we're better than that.
:So, I think we should leave them in, since 1) paper sources do it and 2) different readers have different levels of distraction/disgust. [[User:LizardWizard|<sup>L</sup><sub>W</sub><font size="3">izard</font>]] [[User_talk:LizardWizard|@]] 16:08, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
:1) YES! And, since Wikipedia is NOT paper, we can make it more useful than paper! A simple link will suffice. 2) the ones who aren't bothered won't be by a disambiguation-style link. The rest will be greatly served (the difference between being able to read through and not, as I wasn't -- I came DIRECTLY to this talk page to reply).
::When i was in school. They never taught of such things. We just 1 or 2 pages about reproduction organs with 2 images that to in black and white images and teachers ignored those chapters and continued with other. As for me. I learned about sex-related topics on net. School books taught me nothing. Worst of all sex is a big taboo in India. No heard speak of it in openly. To be honest i don't think anything should be disgusting or any distraction. It is best that image is not closes and seriously there is nothing to hide. --[[User:SkyWalker|SkyWalker]] ([[User talk:SkyWalker|talk]]) 16:28, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
