Curiosity got the better of mew, so I went to the list of games for Flashpoint and searched for 'Adult'. 488 out of ~14,000, or about a third are adult oriented, which is lower than I would have thought.

My Firefox crashes all the time (Bluescreening) whenever I control-click on too many notifications. But hey, they just accidentally disabled every single add-on with their latest update.
