The prior owners made an attempt at that (though it didn't get done well at all). 'He said vs she said' blogs on sex.com with a man and a woman discussing things Dear Abby style...

The real problem they have is that a decade ago Sex was the word synonymous with sexual entertainment in the minds of most people. Currently anyone asked about a sexual movie or form of entertainment calls it porn not sex. Porn.com has become the alpha site and Sex.com will be in their shadow if they do anything adult.

Paying 13M to buy a domain that is not the preeminent one doesn't make much sense to me.... but the guys at PIMPROLL must be smiling their asses off because if Sex.com sold for 13M... Porn.com has to be worth mid to high 20Ms at least.
