There's a new (Web) address for all things X-rated. ICM, the company behind Search.xxx, today (Sept. 27) launched its porn-only search engine that corrals porn sites inside a single .xxx domain. While some members of the porn industry weren't too happy with Internet authority Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers' (ICANN) decision to authorize the xxx master domain, it may help parents prevent curious kids from seeing adult material.

ICM has made its launch page as convenient as possible for the user � with no ads, a big search box and three buttons to select a language, a sexual orientation and a light or dark screen (the latter is preferred by experts for nighttime reading ). The only protection is an age gate that asks users to indicate whether they're 18 years of age or older � standard protocol on the Internet � and insufficient to prevent minors from accessing it.
