Warning Long read 
I recently contacted google about adwords campigns.
I set up a simple campign for Jerk4joy.com
and used some of the common adult adwords: I paid upfront 150.00
XXX
Adult
movies
tgp movies
Of course all of the keywords in the campign where denide
"do to teen related terms".
So I wrote an email
Here is a copy of the emails:

Quoting AdWords Support <[email protected]>:> Hello Yota71,
Thank you for your email. I understand you are disappointed that your
ad has been disapproved for Teen Porn. I have reviewed your account and
find that your ad was not disapproved because your search terms/ keywords
were Teen Porn related. However,
your ad was disapproved for the promotion of Teen content
in your website/Landing Page.
( The Landing Page Is http://www.jerk4joy.com ).....
In order for your ad to run, please remove this content from your ad
text and/or site. Once you've done this, resubmit your ad for review

Thank you for your prompt response.
As A responsible adult webmaster I am very careful to not promote
Underage related material.
There is a misunderstanding within the adult / porn community as to
the recent changes on restrictions placed on the Ad Words campaigns.
If it is the content within the site that is stopping the ad from running?
What specifically is the problem? This site is made up of text based
links.
So therefore I must assume (which is something I hate to do) lol, that
it is the links or the tags that are causing the problem.
It is in the interest of Google, myself and other Adult Webmasters to
to establish a working understanding and relationship in this matter.
I have checked the landing page http://www.jerk4joy.com. I was unable
to determine what Links / tags are being considered teen related.
There is no actual content on this page so it must be one of the sites
I am linking to.
I am sure you understand that as a business owner. It is useless and
costly to try to utilize a service that is unable to promote your
product.
Any further info that can be provided would help prevent these types
of errors in the future.
I am more than willing to support Google and it's guidelines.
Especially if the guidelines are not targeted at singling out a
specific right to Legal Freedom.
The only way for this to be achieved is to have a clear understanding
on what the rules are.
Thank you,
