I guess I would disagree, and say that I think that a warning is a great idea. I damn well want to know that the site will have actual naked ladies, and not just "FHM"-style scantily-clad ladies. And I don't think that giving people information is necessarily a chiller on free expression. I think the real thorny argument may be what "adult content" is. Heck, our parents were all about the "I'd rather they see naked people than watch hella violent stuff", whereas some family's might think call of duty patriotic and a British-TV show with topless people an abomination.
For me the question is "What does a warning accomplish?" to which my answer is "cover for plausible deniability" ("we didn't know kids were looking at all these naked folks. Besides we put up a warning so they should have known their actions would make ours morally questionable"). I'm not sure they provide much in the way of defense against kids seeing porn, just a legal way to assert one's lack of culpability in providing it to them. As someone hoping to reduce the pressure on sexuality in the legal realm, this would serve as a one severing of that connection, though not the most important or most harmless (which are not necessarily the same things).
