Maybe different for US or maybe I just got the really nasty magazines that no company would want to advertise in. All I remember were ads for 1-900 numbers. Playboy may have been different.

Diesel tried to advertise on pornhub recently, I only saw their ads for a short while.

Could be the high charge back rate among adult sites scare off advertisers or the traffic sucks from adult sites.
