Generally speaking this may be true, but there are differences between legal content and access to adult material.

Adult content is legal as long as it is not cp and violent (e.g. forced sexual acts like rape.) So pissing, scat and so on arenīt a legal problem. The german problem is that distributing adult content - especially online - is allwed only if there is no way for underaged people to get access.

So there are different adult verification systems in germany which pretty much all force a surfer to get his first access to an adult site by mail - yes, by regular mail.

The postman has to verify the customers age and thatīs why you canīt sell adult entertainment sites online well. Some major companies like beathe Uhse have moved their online projects to The Netherlands for this reason.
