For me it's because of Cinemax - ie Skinemax - which used to be associated with the softcore porn they'd play late at night.

It always mystified me that HBO Max was even able to use that name since it was so evocative of another premium cable network.

Skinemax, the Saturday night Shannon Tweed special.
