Someone has said this already, but it bears repeating...
There are sites 'worse' than porn.  As a Jew I would be
more offended sitting next to someone viewing an Aryan White
supremacist site than I would be sitting next to a porn site...
Why should you try to protect only *some* of your users from
what they find offensive?

I also agree with whoever said you should just put your policy
up front if you must.  I find the 'sex sites' link too coy.
