I can understand trying to suppress LLM usage that might teach people how to make poison, or inducing someone to commit suicide (although simply using Google is usually enough to find such content). But sexual content? How can that be harmful? It feels like this kind of censorship is simply the default in legal departments and it's not worth the risk to try to do something more in line with common sense.

It's a mix of that, and public perception/image. The banking system generally shies away from supporting sex-related anything, so it is an existential risk for any company to dabble in that space. American society is also weirdly puritanical. Nobody wants the public outrage cannon of "your product is harmful to women" pointed at them.
