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.

Depends on the bank and the agreement. They sure can question any payment, but not because of porn - the reason would be anti-money laundering laws, anti-terrorist laws, economic sanctions etc.
I have a loan from my bank and the account is mandatory, I can't see them blocking it, they would prevent me from paying the loan.
They could refuse to accept a payment and ask questions - in that case I would tell them the truth: I do internet marketing and that's a payment for my work.
