Please treat this Issue very Serious and Urgent, Your urgent action is required :
Due to Govt. of India' regulations all domain names which directly contains porn words like sex, sexy, porn or any other words of similar nature are considered as bad registrations and liable for actions.
We request you to either make these names as inactive and /or then delete them as even transferring to other registrar will not be a help as every registrars are under scan.
See this two reports urgently :
Domain registrar held in porn website racket - The Times of India
Easy money lures tech-savvy youths - Hindustan Times
In articles see these lines :
“We have got records of some more pornographic websites’ owners and they will be arrested soon. All the people, including the service provider, website designer, domain registrar and hotel staff, involved in the crime will be booked,”
"There is Mumbai-based company which used to sub-lease the rights of domain registration. The accused also got the rights of sub-leasing domain registration. We will ask the IT ministry to monitor domain registration is not misused from now on,"
Here is copy of Famous section 69A of cyber law : ( Please note Registrars are counted as intermediary)
69A.

Your suggestions are invited ...........
Further Clarifications :
Domain name directly contains a objectionable word and content on domain name both is equally important , you have objectionable domain name but contents are safe then where you are violating law ? Even domain name looks good but if you put objectionable content then you are violating law ... so only domain name is just like license gun no harm in keeping but if you fires it at wrong place then law comes in between.
We still suggest that direct reference of the highly porn keywords in domain name is not good bet....but If you have traffic on such names then put some safe content or educational content about the sex on these domains (also donot put on parking, they may show offensive links which can lead you in trouble) in such cases you are not violating any law. We think that lot of other countries also have such kind of restrictions ?
Please donot get panicked. We put this here for healthy discussion....
