I think language theory goes into the direction where those words in the mother tongue are connotated with shame, while in another language they are less so. Since often, genitalia is not something talked about much and porn is also not really something discussed at the dinnertable, so even in open minded people, there's an aspect of shame.

Same for feelings. The native tongue is connected with things like puberty and first loves, first broken hearts, etc, the vocabulary in the non-native tongue is further removed from that and easier to access.

However, this doesn't explain why multilingual people gravitate towards English being the porn language as well, that's anyone's guess.

But yes, personalities definitely also switch with languages.
