I have nothing against gay men,  but I think I rather we didn't have advertisements for gay porn on the main page of this website.

Is there any filter that can be used to stop that kind of adds from ebay?

Ok, last time I checked it was gone.  Maybe it will come back, who knows...

Anyways, I'm not sure if it was google or ebay ads, because it was in the middle of both.  And it wasn't a text add, but a rather large picture of a muscular guy. yuck!  Tongue

Google tailors the ads to the viewer.  So maybe somebody else who uses your PC sometimes searches for gay porn on Google.

Hey, careful with those "yucks!"  I'm very muscular and enjoy having an artistically idealized nietzschean as my avatar.  Wink

Very funny, but no.  Google ads are mostly based on the web-content,  keywords and stuff. 

I'm the only one that uses my computer, and since I'm not into gay porn, I must assume that words like muscle, muscular, bodybuilding and such...are flagged by them as being gay content.  Unfortunately, we female muscle lovers are a minority.

I'd  guess that's the  problem.
