You've been lucky, but it's not guaranteed that it will stay that way.
They can absolutely ask about the nature of your transactions anytime, and they're free to decide whether they want to do business with you, even if everything you do is legal. There are porn companies that had to switch banks multiple times in Europe. There are also banks in Europe blocking incoming transfers from company names which have been flagged for porn.
I'm not saying it's right, but that's how it is.
It also depends on the transaction volume. It's easy to fly under the radar with a small amount, but if you're doing a lot of international transactions, you can get more attention.
The situation is not horrible, all I'm saying is that banks generally do not like porn (the bank clerk might, but the risk management doesn't), so it's not worth talking about it if you don't need to.
