Of course it could be fixed, assuming some bloody-minded type doesn't
fight it. The point is that the preference for graphic images makes
this kind of surprise happen readily.

Um, yeah. Just this morning I was trying to fix

ordinarily innocent phrases lead to similar surprises because the
sexual fetish community-- and therefore Wikipedia-- has co-opted the
phrase.
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.
