How do you propose a system to be effective that proves you are over a particular age but also does not prove that you are you? In other words I don’t see a way to solve the problem of needing both proof of identity and proof of age to accomplish proof of age.

What if you share your private key? Well you can only have one account per key and it's otherwise the same as just obtaining the porn for the improper users yourself (which is always possible). Won't that ID just get linked between sites and used to track you? Yes. But you can use a somewhat more complicated version of this scheme where you can get access to a single unlinkable ID per site... so then you can't be tracked.
