Apple has started removing applications from the App Store which contain "overtly sexual content".

Yesterday Jon Atherton, the developer behind Wobble iBoobs reported to TechCrunch receiving an e-mail from Apple indicating that his application was being removed from the App Store because of a new policy change

The App Store continues to evolve, and as such, we are constantly refining our guidelines. Your application, Wobble iBoobs (Premium Uncensored), contains content that we had originally believed to be suitable for distribution. However, we have recently received numerous complaints from our customers about this type of content, and have changed our guidelines appropriately.

Sincerely,
iPhone App Review
