I agree that this community doesn't seem unhealthy; and also 
that, in general, sex jokes aren't necessarily a sign of sexism. 
But I also think it's smart to establish a wide margin on 
community practice. Correcting small, potentially harmful 
behaviours sets a boundary, and avoids having to deal with 
larger, certainly-harmful behaviours later on.

There are plenty of appropriate forums for sex jokes on the 
Internet, we can surely live without them here.
