adult only

Not for children

Adult only marks content restricted to mature audiences, typically meaning sexual material, graphic violence, or other themes deemed inappropriate for children.

The phrase appears on packaging, websites, and venue entrances as both warning and legal protection: an adult-only resort, adult-only content.

Sometimes euphemistic for pornographic.
