Google will take some time to index your web pages after submitting your sitemap in webmaster tool.

Try to make some good quality backlinks in a while.

Also, submit with unique content to search engine and not doing spamming.

Submit your website to different search engines and ping your site to search engines.

After few days Type site:yourdomain.com and you will find all the pages which will be indexed by google.

I don't think you have anything to worry about based on the time frame in the discussion above. You've already done all you can by unparking the domain, adding content, adding a sitemap, and fetching as Googlebot. You need to give the index some time to catch up to the new content. Make sure you have a robots.txt file that is not telling the bot to go away or otherwise doing something self-defeating.

Keep an eye on the server access logs as well as check GWT for the requests for the sitemap and robots.txt files. As long as Google is seeing you properly, the indexing will come back over time as the negatives from the porn ads drop out of the algorithm.
