I'm not too concerned about this.
I think you've failed to understand the fundamental dynamics at play here. It's not Smashwords, or the other online retailers who have been ordered by Paypal to remove certain types of stories, and maybe it's not even Paypal. It's the credit card companies. And the barriers to entry into that business are simply too enormous to think someone is going to start up a new one for erotica. If that were possible the online porn industry would have already done it. But they haven't.
