I would go check that state by state. Louisiana for example is very clear that descriptions of sexual intercourse are included.
The cheapest one I found is Frequently asked questions - Go.cam
The cost is 0.03 euro per verification. What you could maybe do is have a age verify on users who signup and then those are only verified once and they can simply login to see all the content.
Wow… well that’s strict. I guess they must have banned a lot of literature then. That’s just crazy.
I’m in the UK, so I have little (zero) interest in what a Louisiana Republican wants.

The UK is up to the same shenanigans.
That’s a good article, which also shows how stupid the rules are. So text is fine but the same text read out loud is porn and therefor illegal.
Well I think the really big question for most of us is what happens if you’re outside the country who has the age verification rules? Can the UK in this example do anything about a site / company in the EU or USA? If so how, what exactly can they do? Block? Issue fines somehow anyway or?
Apparently they do explicitly have the option to fine foreigners. On paper. But nobody knows yet if they’ll bother or if authorities in other countries would work with them to enforce the fines.
They also have the authority to block websites in the UK and that seems the more likely scenario.
And sure, people can circumvent those blocks with a VPN but you’ll always lose a significant chunk of traffic anyway because your average user barely knows what a VPN is let alone how to use one (and it’s illegal for porn sites to tell UK users how to lol).
Well, here it gets difficult.
The US and UK can in theory sue you/your company, they can also enforce bans though service provider who are home in the UK, lets say if you hoster is there or your bank.
If they get a court ruling against you, they won’t be able to enforce that probably. It would first need to go through a court in your country and only if that court rules that its enforcable they can proceed. Its not very likely that such rules from foreign courts would be enforceable as there is not even a 100% comparable EU law or state law in the EU. Under the DSA age checks are intended. won’t go too much into that. But its not comparable to the laws in the UK or US.
