    I never understood it either but I’ve always heard any x-rated business has difficulty finding and keeping payment processors. I did hear one person say the “protect our brand” line is only an excuse and the real reason is that x-rated businesses typically have way more chargebacks than normal businesses (due to post nut clarity) and payment processors end up dropping them for that reason.

      Yeah. High chargebacks and fraud (both actual fraud and fraudulent fraud reports) on adult content. I think a lot of it has to do with the “spouse factor.”
