I dunno about the not showing adult films to kids. I think that's more for the safety of the guardian rather than minor. My mom tells a story, she once went to see the 80s movie "Heavy Metal" in theaters, but since she couldn't find a babysitter, she brought my half-brother in with her (I think he was like 8 or 12 at the time, I wasn't born yet). During one of the starting vignettes, the male protagonist notices he suddenly doesn't have a scrawny nerd's body anymore, and when he looks down at his nude self, he says, "Hmm, big...." Of course, a child's laughter then echoes throughout the cinema, and my mother could only do her best to avoid all the glares burning holes in her head for the rest of the film.
