    Is a enter page (ENTER or LEAVE) with warning like above required for adult websites?

    I suppose that would depend on where the site is hosted. The hosting server is the site should not contravene the laws of the country where the site is hosted.

    To be honest you would be best to visit a large adult website and find what it is that they do.
    I am sure it is common to have such disclaimers. I would just verbatim copy one.

    They aren't required, but many webmasters believe that warning pages are a good faith attempt at keeping people from inadvertently seeing potentially offensive material.

    Check with some countries and their laws against adult sites. I know that there was a law governing pornography and adult products sites to have this type of splash page for a site. There are heavy fines so better to check this out then get burned by some government. Hope this helps out :)

    Depends on the server you host it on, and the country you live in.

    If you put a "Disclamer" on your site that people can see weather that be at the front (Spash Screen) or a txt link on your site you are covered by certain laws.

    You don't need the disclaimer in the US. It is voluntary, as well
    as doing other things so that common web filters will block it.
    Parental filters, that is.

    The purpose of that warning is just for the above reason. It is
    part of RTA and ASACP guidelines. They hope all adult website
    owners will use it. In fact, if you do your adult website like they
    want, the normal web filters would filter the whole thing out and
    they would never even see the warning. There is no restriction
    in the US about such sites. Many people have tried. This is not
    related to sites that are banned, child porn for example. They
    also claim that many "unwary" adults stumble into these sites.
    This gives them a way out before viewing anything they might
    think is offensive.

    As far as other countries, China being a good example. Your chances
    of seeing an adult site are slim to none. The country filters stuff
    out. Probably the same for other countries who ban these sites.
    (Yes I know there are ways around it)

    Using it in the US just makes you a "good"(?) citizen.
