Of course if you look at the "from {url}" link that triggers the interstitial popup in the first place, it has a rel="nofollow" on it. I don't know -- that might have been true all along, I never looked before. But whenever it went nofollow, it is now, so if you're posting on Sex.com you're only doing it for the tiny trickle of traffic that makes it past the interstitial speed bumps.
