#2 - Since you are not using the tools above, you are sharing a lot of your browsing data to trackers elsewhere on the web that aggregate the content and present you with what they think you will like. No judgement, but maybe start using incognito mode for your NSFW browsing. I turned off my blockers and none of the ads I was shown were anything like what you describe.
