Some people simply do not realize that something is wrong with what they display at work.

A friend of mine, financial director in a very large company, had someone in his staff (a woman) who was also an amateur artist. One day she brought to their office a big male nude of hers (they were several in the office). The anatomy was very visible.

My friend panicked on the "freedom of art vs. nudity at work" but found a solution: he put a huge cactus just in front of the painting, effectively hiding the matter of panic.

The day after the nude was gone, replaced by a boring landscape.

EDIT: following a helpful comment: this answer shows another way to deal with a case where someone may not be aware that they did something wrong is to give them the chance to back off by heavily hinting that there is something wrong, prior to a direct discussion, HR and the rest of the nuclear power.

This has nothing to do with tolerance for harassment - in some workplaces people feel very relaxed (even if such places are made up according to some...) and just make the genuine mistake to feel like at home.
