Perhaps Porn, Adult, Sex to allow "levels" of adultness? This will still leave this issue of not everyone will agree on what should fall into what category. The only sure-fire way to do this is to clearly define what constitues each category. Perhaps something along the lines of the US motion picture ratings? X, NC-17, and R? I am certain that there are already exsisting standards out there somewhere that could be applied to the blacklists. Although I dont know much about the proccess by which the lists are generated and this may prove to be difficult to apply.
