Try the Following:

Clear your Temporary Internet Files (Cookies & Cache) of Safari: Cookies perform remembrance of certain site-entered data. Whereas Cache keeps a snapshot of the last time you visited a site. Use this Link: Clearing History and Cache - Apple Communities

On your iPhone: Clear the history and cookies from Safari on your iPhone

Boot into Safe Mode (How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support) by booting with the Shift key held down and check there to see if the problem persists.  Reboot normally and test again.

NOTE: Safe Mode boot can take up to 10 minutes as it's doing some system cache cleaning, volume verifying and directory repairing. 

did you try the mac connected to the phone's hotspot while on cellular?

If its an android phone the process is similar.

Use the wifi connection on the Mac to the phone.

If that works then there is nothing wrong with the mac and it points directly to the router or the ISP provider

Being Such a Site...

Run Malwarebytes for Mac, or Create a new user.

Use MalwareBytes for Mac: This is software that searches for Malware (Malicous Software). Such software makes your Mac act in a mislead manor, technically. So, scan with it and then remove what is found. Once removed, uninstall MalwareBytes for Mac. Then restart the Mac.

Downloads:

1. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac
2. Malwarebytes uninstaller

If that does not work....

Create a new Administrator user:

Creating a new Administrator user, see if this still occurs while you are logged in as different Administrator user. If it does not occur, then it is something misconfigured in your current user. So, now that it has been created, transfer everything over to the new Administrator, and then delete this current Administrator account. You would be set from there.

ok so you can access other adult sites ok? These filters are not applied to the router, they ate applied by the ISP. On some countries the default is to assume you are not an adult.

Try this. on the phone turn on cellular data. Then turn on the personal hotspot on your phone and connect the mac to your hotspot.

If you can connect to the site then the Mac is not at fault.

Why do you think it is your problem?

Did you try the https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/

Try tomorrow or a few days and see if changes.

when you say another WIFI do you mean another ISP provider?

If so, I go back to my first post. Ask your ISP why they are blocking it. It may simply be the womens underwear has rated the site 'adult' and you may not have the curb lifted.

I did ask if you can open any well known adult sites (I cant name one here) but you didnt answer. In my country gunshops come into that category.

You also havent said if you have hard reset the router.

Try changing the DNS servers in the System/Network/Advanced/DNS preference pane. I use OpenDNS:

Try that.

Had your wifi provider designated this as an "adult" site?

Try your phone on the same wifi

If you haven't already, ask your WIFI provider to allow you to view adult sites.

I know a fashion site should not be classed that way but some puritans or competitors may have complained

That may not fix the phone's problem though.

Rebooting the router may help.
