It could all be so easy if the W3C would just include a META tag in the standard that allowed for a rating system like that of the movies, so responsible sites could rate themselves. (Yes, I've proposed it to them via email several times ... no reply.)
Back around 1995 or so, one of the Macintosh pundits proposed a game along the same lines of "6 degress of Kevin Bacon" where you got a random URL and you tried to hit a smut site within six clicks from that page. Who knows? You can probably do it in three or four nowadays.
