.xxx is a non-starter. Ain't going to happen...
Too much opposition, including a lot by various religious and family values organizations - they too are against .xxx, because they feel that .xxx would legitimize porn; being endorsed by the government.
And then there are issues of what happens to adult sites in .com and other gTLDs. Would all adult content be restricted to .xxx ... and if so, how does one define what adult content is and will it be enforced. Many thorny issues.
For anyone doubting the challenges involved with .xxx should take a look at what happened to .kids - it was proposed as a gTLD, but was soundly rejected. Some countries, such as the U.S. later implemented .kids as a sub-TLD (ie. .kids.US)...
However, even a sub-TLD .xxx is a non-starter too, because it was imply endorsement by the countries who choose to add it under their ccTLD ... I can say with confidence, there will not be a .xxx.US anytime soon, if ever; .US has very strict rules on what they allow, and already filters out "dirty" word domains.
