Actually, the issue isn't so much ...

>The big problem: Who decides what is or is not "sex"?  Saudi Arabia?
>The Australian Family Association with their labrador fetish?  Me?

But the fact that people who run the "referal credits" Adult Banner sites 
don't give a flying F*** what domain name their sites sit under, as long as 
the banners are displayed and users click them.

So the reality is, .sex will make no difference.
