Yeah, I figured that there are two options, either distance your websites and company from germany so you don't have to comply or use age verification for german traffic.

I am evaluating pros and cons of using age verification. they have a lot of systems, one that I am looking at is based on OAuth 2.0, so you can easy verify the person age and create an account for them automatically, just like using facebook sign-in.

In general It's been more than a decade since this requirements were enforced and not just for porn, game shops and all kinds of other businesses are also required to implement it, some perfectly normal shops use it before checkout to minimize fraud, so I guess the majority of adult germans use this systems already; if you implement it for german traffic you may be just filtering useless visitors which will never convert anyway (unless you are illegal tube selling ad spots). That being said I'm not sure I'm going to do it though
