Here's a thought experiment, imagine you are a young male looking for random streams because you're bored. You see a) one stream with speed runs done by a female streamer who is not scantily clad but actually has a lot of skill and is trying to garner views by being a good gamer. Then, there is a b) 23 year old female streamer who isn't really playing games but is merely doing stretches in yoga tights. What will you probably click first? When talking about aggregate, the small delta counts. This swings those uncommitted to looking for sexual content as well as attracting those purely looking for sexual content. To be fair, there are more hardcore sexual content out there that is just as free, so why would the population just looking for soft porn go to Twitch to do it? It sounds more to me like they are competing more than just having different audiences. EDIT: and more importantly, these sexual streamer are taking advantage of it, while avoiding other sites devoted to sexual content where competition would be harder for them.
