I'm new to this so go easy on me (well the SEO thing anyway). I bought my domain, 1host.com for my web hosting business many years ago and it was formerly an adult site (porn). I've just redesigned the site and have just begun exploring SEO and it's possibilities. One of the first things I discovered, when looking up my domain at domaintools.com:

http://whois.domaintools.com/1host.com

was that it lists *****catpics.com as a "related site". Apparently this info comes from Alexa. Is there any way to "unrelate" these sites? Will it affect me negatively in any way to have that as a related site? Suggestions?

Sorry, all I can think of is to contact Alexa! Also, be sure the new allwhois information is different and up to date.

Do you know if this kind of related site/link will have a negative affect on my rankings or am I being too paranoid?

It could but, there is really no way to know for sure.
