From what I recall its essentially how people do business. Everything from technical support with adult oriented hosting companies to making deals to sell sites/traffic/etc or talking to sponsors about promotions/etc. Plus a great deal of just general bs-ing. You have to remember outside of maybe a dozen large companies, most adult sites are just run by 1 or 2 guys so its their form of talking at the water cooler.
