It's a cropped image of a naked woman looking over her shoulder out of a playboy magazine. I think it's reasonable to stop using it for academic papers. You can still look at it all you want though.

It's an unlicensed picture of a woman who was previously fine with it being used like this, but who recently changed her mind and thinks it's time to stop.
