Must not be all porn since there is all kinds of Adult stuff sold on eBay that uses PayPal for payment, not to mention sites like Adam & Eve use it. Sounds like it's specifically Rape, Incest, Pedophilia and Beastiality that are the problem and it has a lot to do with the banks PayPal does business with having some pretty unbreakable rules about it.
Here's a quote from Mark Coker of what PayPal told him word for word (from todays Dear Author post comments section)...

“We work with a number of acquiring banks and credit card associations as part of our business. Many of the items contained in our AUP are restricted by our banking partners, particularly rape, bestiality and incest related content. Our banking partners and credit card associations have taken a very strict stance on this subject matter. Our relationships with the banking partners are absolutely critical in order to provide the online and mobile services we do to our customers. Therefore, we have to remain in compliance with their rules, which prohibit content involving rape, bestiality or incest.”
