Re: Rules on Adult content website in California
Your question is very broad. You'll want to consult an attorney directly regarding the following topics:
Business Entity.
Obscenity Law.
Child Pornography.
Recordkeeping requirements (Federal and State laws apply).
Content licensing.
...and a host of others. It's better if you have more specific questions ready when you meet with your lawyer.
Note that web businesses have to comply with the law not only in the state where they're based, but in every state in which their content might be viewed. Foreign nations may also have laws and regulations that apply to a website such as you describe.

It is very important for you to have your web site reviewed before going live. There are many issues, but the jist of it is what can visitors access without registering and being bound by your terms and conditions. You do not want to grant the wrong crowd access (i.e., children). I've done a number of these reviews and drafting of the terms and conditions.
