I answered your original question, however since adult content websites number in the hundreds of thousands, new ones created everyday, it would be unrealistic to use the hosts file for this.
My list is only 16,000 and generated by thousands of IT workers, the amount of adult content online is well in excess of being managed except by a population of say New York City working on it 24/7 to get it all catagorized.
If you subscribe to OpenDNS, they do have a decent adult content filtering system, but it's not perfect at all as I tried it, it does a good job of blocking a lot of accidential visits to major known sites, but not if one is smart, learns the bypass trick from a friend or/and their intent is to find that material as it's everywhere.
OpenDNS may slow down your downloads of Apple/Akamai based content which uses the closet ISP server to download to you.
You need to check your location that OpenDNS has a server near your location or experience slow or problematic downloads.
You can search Wikipedia for OpenDNS, their server locations are there, if your ISP server is very near the same city, then you should't experience a delay in downloading from Apple/Akamai servers.
If I'm talking too geek speak, then just copy my post for later and likely it will make sense if you run into a problem.
