I certainly understand and agree with your point, and we are
definitely catching sex sites that get mentioned in spams.
They are being included in current SURBLs *because they are
spamming*.

A list of sex site domains is indeed a different category
of thing, and strictly speaking is not part of the SURBL
anti-spam focus.

Right now I'm leaning against it, but mainly because the
data source proposed may contain too many false positives
for use as a SURBL.  I suppose I should turn it into a list
so we can check that.
