Yes. The trick is to pretend that they aren't and to let them feel clever about figuring out for themselves how the adult market will improve success. For instance, Cisco's fortunes were built in large part on porn, which dominated internet traffic for years, driving sales of their "big iron" routers to the ISPs, but their product looks nothing like porn and has other legitimate uses. A huge portion of the alcohol, fashion, and auto industries are based on the premise of improving your social standing and perceived sexuality. So one route would be to get them to fund a technology that dramatically improves your service and that happens to have valuable uses outside of the adult industry. However, you may be better off going to the adult industry for investment. They're actually pretty savvy angel investors, often the very earliest adopters of neat new tech, and their terms are often much less heavy-handed than VC terms.
