I'm not blaming Citizendium for this. But the current page on differences from Wikipedia also mentions the fetishes: I think there's quite a large body of literature regarding them and they can't be considered "not important" or "non-encyclopedic".

We do not aim to scour all traces of sexuality from the encyclopedia; we do plan on building the best encyclopedia for all ages possible. In our current plan, that involves including articles on sexuality, but doing so in a non-graphic fashion. If a piece of information is important- as many aspects of sexuality are- there will be a place for it in Citizendium. But this does not necessarily mean we'll have bios of porn stars.
