Most routers have parental controls. Web sites have categories, and you can explicitly block those categories. You can use 3rd party dns tools like nextdns for granular control. Lots of parental software you can install that can limit PC time use, sites, tracking, etc. you can blacklist sites too. Lots of control and access levels so you don't block yourself too.
or you know... talk to your kids
sure, but it's not going to curb the curiosity 100%. and it's not just sex sites, kids don't need to see sites like crazyshit.com, etc until they're at least mature enough.
i'm wouldn't be looking to curb curiosity tho.. that's not natural at all.. instead i'd be looking to address it head on..
i'm telling my kids, yes this happens, this is a thing.. share my viewpoints on the dangers of abusing it.. and reprimand them for treating it as such.
they're still going to do it.. but at least them knowing that i'm well aware of it as a parent would lessen risk of them turning it into some sort of secret addiction of theirs.

Do you have kids?
What did you tell them about hardcore anal? All the kids want anal now.
They don't know about all the prep, the behind the scenes, the emergency room runs where someone gets a perferated colon and risks bleeding out internally.
Did you mention that to your daughter?
I'm not advocating for government control, but simple snappy one liners are just that. Unless they're funny. We all like those ๐
lol no kids..
that's the thing.. by me saying talk to kids.. im saying address it all.. i'm looking to educate them, not shelter them..
if/when i have one, i'm telling them this world ain't all sunshine and rainbows.. here's how to make the smart and wise decisions..~then i'd hand them their baby bottle~
And then you put your phone on cellular and all the Wi-Fi controls are gone.
Google family app does some good.
if you've got a kid old enough to be using a phone, but not old enough to know about sex, and you haven't enabled parental controls, you have other things to worry about. or they're old enough to look at whatever they please.
