It is, because you already can't sell to minors. Your ISP verifies your identity, and that you're an adult, when you purchase service.

If parents turn around and then give that good/service to their child, all bets are off. The store clerk doesn't follow you home, do they? I should hope not.

This is a great point. The ISPs should allow an IP lookup of whether or not a particular origin IP / port combination (for VPN) is able to view porn. Parents can then tell their ISP to block porn for the household, if they have kids. Or, if they do have kids and want them to see porn, then they can do nothing. Either way, the responsibility is now on the parents. That would be an acceptable way of doing things.
