As it stands though .xxx is not about forcing people to only visit .xxx sites but rather about forcing US based porn to move to .xxx. Censoring your surfing at ISP level is a whole different ball park and something that they really would have trouble introducing (although it's not totally outside of the realms of possibility - so called 'freedom' is being eroded almost daily in the USA and people don't seem to realise or give a crap).
In theory people would still be more than free to visit non-US based, non-.com porn sites. If your ISP decides to restrict this off of their own backs then you can simply change ISP. I've a feeling though that most ISP's won't be hurrying to do that.
Oh and living offshore does not excuse you from US laws either if you're a US citizen providing the service to people in the US. If you really want to move offshore and be 'safe' you'd better think about giving up US citizenship too.
