Could you elaborate a little? This seems contradictory to the message they have sent advertisers and the impression everyone affected has about the upcoming changes.
The email is pretty clear: "Beginning in the coming weeks,
we'll no longer accept ads that promote graphic depictions of sexual acts including, but not limited to, hardcore
pornography; graphic sexual acts including sex acts such as masturbation;
genital, anal, and oral sexual activity."
As for Google this is not being handled well at all. They ask us to make changes but clearly they aren't even clear internally what the specific policy is. The assumption I made was, basically, if you have any kind of "sexual activity" you won't be using AdWords anymore.
