Last I heard, you could only register a .xxx name if you were in the porn industry or wanted to reserve the name (but not put up any webpage). I wonder how he got the domain.

That was just in Fall 2011 before domains became available to the public. http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-501465_162-20092596-501465.html

That's not correct, anyone can register a .xxx domain, there are no actual restrictions.
