As a Brit I'd say the recent law isn't like that. When I was a kid, pre internet, the porn was restricted by putting it on the top shelves and tell staff not to sell them to kids, likewise X rated movies etc. It worked fine. Adults didn't have to show ID to go to the movies. If a 16 year old got in to an X film no one cared. The modern law is an attempt at an internet equivalent. It's not using the courts to police adultery.
