If there is an owner change (along with host, nameservers, IP) simply file a reinclusion request, but make sure the site is really clean. Keep in mind that google doesn't really like "thin affiliates", so if it's an adult site, it should have some really good content...or the request will be ignored. Although being a "thin affiliate" doesn't necessarily get a domain banned, it definitely prevents reinclusion. Thin affiliate basically means that you have no own content and rely on third party content and affiliate programs.

I yet have to see a domain that doesn't come back automatically, but as Smokey said, it takes many years, one of mine took 5 years, 2002 to 2007 till it finally appeared in the SERPs again (was cleaned and filled with new content in 2002 already). Same observation: It still suffers in some way, the pages crawled seem to rank normally, but new pages are only crawled sporadically.
