Citizendium will have standards for inclusion for its articles. In addition to policies on maintainability, neutrality, and others, Citizendium will have an exclusion policy based on obscenity. Citizendium is meant for readers of all ages, and so as little sexually objectionable material as possible.
Obviously, "obscenity" and "sexually objectionable material" are vague, and what we will decide such phrases mean, in the long run, remains to be seen. Probably, we will not have graphic depictions of the sex act or photographs of human sex organs; we will have few articles about pornography; we will not catalog every sex position and every fetish; we will not have gratuitous, and truly shocking and disgusting, pictures of gore (e.g., crime scene photos); and so forth. That said, we will have articles about sex, sex organs, sado-masochism, famous murders, war atrocities, etc., and some other topics that you probably would not want to explain to your five-year-old in detail.
