Sorry I don't have the answer you are looking for, but perhaps you should
talk to your client about the implications of this type of design. IMHO, you
are asking for trouble mixing adult novelties with general types of
products/info. I have been faced with this question myself and after talking
with my client, we agreed it was not a good idea. Perhaps you could use a
splash page with two 'zones' and install two catalogs,
www.mycat.com/everyone and www.mycat.com/adults. I don't think this is a
good choice either, because you are still presenting an opportunity for a
minor child to 'check it out'.

my 2 cents...
