    I've seen some rampant adult ads in the past, but I think Google didn't allow these kinds of ads anymore.

    I believe the terms must be "clean" and have SFW landing pages.

    Type on "adult dating" in Google and you'll see ads for Horny Match, LocalSex.com, OnlineBootyCall.com --- so, I'm thinking yes!

    They do but only if the keyword is of adult nature.

    I run an adult dating website and they won't show my ad for "dating" but will show it for "adult dating" unless the user who is searching has the "don't filter my searches" ticked in google prefrences.

    Most people who search don't realise there is such an option in prefrences.

    These are the Google words regarding ads through adwords ..........
    "Sexual & Adult Content

    Sexual & adult content is restricted.

    Ads cannot promote child pornography, any sexually suggestive content involving children, or other non-consensual sexual material. Ads also cannot promote teen pornography or pornography that describes models who might be underage. Examples include, but are not limited to, advertisements for:

    * barely legal porn
    * cheerleader sex
    * Lolita porn
    * school girl porn
    * school boy porn
    * teen photographs
    * teen porn
    * teen sex
    * teen xxx
    * twinks
    * young girls
    * young boys

    Google does not allow this content at all, regardless of whether or not a site complies with local government regulations.

    Although adult-related ads that comply with our policies can show in some countries, certain countries such as Germany, China, Korea, and India will not show any ads categorized as "Adult Sexual Content" at all, such as ads promoting any pornographic content.

    There might be other effects of family status on how your ads are served.

    Users can report potential violations of our policies to us, which we investigate
    .
    "

    And you cud find out more about Google Adwords ads policies here ........

    I would that yes they do just not anything that would be illegal like the guy showed in the previous post.

    You can search for adult stuff in google so why wouldnt you be able to have adult ads. I would think that is probably pretty close to the most searched area.

    I would say no, because I've never seen adsense ads for adults. Perhaps they may only for their search results but I still doubt it.
