The argument against concealing or making it more difficult in any way to access material is that it inevitably amounts to censorship. In my youth, one could not receive publications--on any subject--through the mail from the Communist countries without signing a form that one had requested them; I remember doing this for photography magazines from Poland. For adult web sites today, one must click, and the click is recorded. Even though Wikipedia does not record views in an attributable manner, a log on the computer used to access it could do so. Further, a person looking at a sexual image now can say if challenged that it appeared by accident; if a setting had to be enabled, to see them, that wouldn't be possible.
