You can contact the iTunes Store Customer Service department using the form on their Support page (select the category and subcategory closest to the issue you're reporting and you'll find either an "Express Lane" button - just follow the instructions to get to the contact form - or an "Email Us" button).

Regards.

Apparently they did not feel that the apps in question were in clear violation of the App Store terms, so directed you to a more general way to submit feedback. You can, if you wish, comment to Apple about why you feel those apps you mention are offensive.

I just looked at the apps for which the OP posted a link. They aren't in any way, shape, or form "pornographic". The OP seems to think that the Apple reviewers only look at titles; they actually tryout the apps so if they hadn't met the rules, Apple would not have approved them.
