trademark issue
 
i'm not expert in this field, but term "Hot Teen Sex" seems general to me

http://tess2.uspto.gov/bin/showfield...ate=3al574.3.1

so is it time to register domains with all kinds of general keywords and then start filling trademarks?

it's not a trademark application. it is a "Service Mark" application.

"In some countries, notably the United States, a trademark used to identify a service rather than a product is called a service mark (SM).
Under US law, service marks have a different standard of use in order to count as a use in commerce, which is necessary to complete registration and to stop infringement by competitors. A trademark normally needs to be used on or directly in association with the sale of goods, such as on a store display. As services are not defined by a concrete product, use of a service mark in advertisements is instead accepted as a use in commerce."

I don't think you are wrong.

Yep, SM not TM.
