Users of "adult services" on the Internet are the latest target of Phishermen. Being phished normally guarantees that you will become a victim of identity theft. Here's a warning from Sophos:
Experts at SophosLabs™ have warned internet users that criminals are not just targeting online bankers in their phishing campaigns as an attack is launched against users of an adult webcam site.
Spam experts based in Sydney, one of the global network of virus, spyware and spam analysis centers operated by Sophos, have identified an active phishing campaign focused on users of iFriends, which claims to be the world's largest online videochat community with more than two million registered users. Many of the video chatrooms hosted by iFriends are of an adult nature.

Many adult sites harbor all kinds of adware, spyware and malware. Websense did a survey, about this, here.
My guess would be that it's smart to stay away from these sites, unless your system is "bulletproof."
Not all porn is legal. I did a earlier post on how financial information might be used for another purpose:
