One of the googlers was asked that and he claimed that all sites get treated the same, adult and mainstream. Now, should we trust him..... that is a whole different story.

This is the true question really. If you were checking adult serps a month ago and further in the past, you probably noticed that there are barely any adult results. Whatever adult query resulted in maybe first page of porn results and the rest were heavily diluted with google books, mainstream news and such.
That would mean that google actually does a good job in classifying adult site as adult site and ALL adult ones had a penalty of some sort, just to reduce it's rank in order for mainstream results to rise in (coz, mainstream makes them money).
NOW, situation is different and adult serps are indeed adult, 90% porn across all pages.
That switch was sudden and could also be the reason why current adult related results are a big awkward
