adult entertainment

Restricted viewing material

Adult entertainment refers to sexually explicit or erotic material intended for adults only—pornography, strip clubs, sex shows, and similar content.

The term functions as a euphemism, lending respectability to an industry that might otherwise be called the sex trade: The adult entertainment district was zoned away from residential areas.

Also called adult content.
