yup, many have done that, including sex.com with sex.xxx
If .XXX gets approved, it won't be smooth sailing, there will surely be lawsuits filed from domain owners who are fighting to see who gets the .xxx equivalent.
ex: somesexsite.com, somesexite.dk, somesexsite.co.uk, somesexsite.jp who gets the .xxx ?
There may be other procedural lawsuits filed for injunctions, etc. It is going to be an interesting for those involved if .XXX gets approved.
Fight the watching!
