Pornography is not rated. No it isn't. NC17 is for films that have been through the film rating system and that they have been given a rating which prevents anyone youngster from viewing it or buying it.
Pornography usually has a XXX "rating". This is something the distributor puts on it, just to let the viewer know what type of film it is, but again, no one actually reviews it.
I believe that 18 is the legal age to purchase, or view, these types of movies. Also, you can't star in one if you are not 18. In fact you can't even pretend to be younger than 18, doing things that are reserved for the 18 and plus age group - in any movie - PG to XXX. That's the law. Of course, communities can get together and make their own local ordinances on these moral issues.
I use to manage a theater, and asked this question myself to our senior advisor.

NC-17 is not pornographic, just having a strong sexual content, but since the studios know that in the minds of the public, they equate it with smut, that is why there are very few NC17 films (at last count 154)
And you would be surprised the number of films that got hit with an NC-17, then re-cut for R, like
40-Year Old Virgin
Boondock Saints
Evil Dead
Freddy Got Fingered
House of 1000 Corpses
Killing Zoe
Rules of Attraction
Saw
Team America

Most likely, it varies depending on your state's laws. Most of the ones I know the minimum age is 18, but your state and probably a few others require an age higher than 18 up to 21.

Every state has its own different legal age for purchasing adult pornographic material, like Florida it is 18.

you should be 17 to purchase or borrow an R-rated action picture, or to be admitted into an R-rated action picture on the theater devoid of an grownup. Did you have an identity you ought to coach him? in case you probably did no longer, then he replaced into purely doing his job. If there is any doubt that somebody is 17, he's had to invite for an identity and if he purely gave it to you besides, he must be in massive concern. in case you probably did teach an identity even with the indisputable fact that, then he replaced into incorrect and you ought to have asked for the govt.

NC17 is not considered pornography - X is.
18 is the legal age in most places.

bc it's like pg-13, if you're under 13 you can go with a parent or someone older than 18 or 21...i forget which. no one under 17 can get in at ALL...but if you're between 17 and 21, i think you just need someone older than 21.
