There would be PostID, but that's a Germany only thing. Not sure Valve will bother with supporting that.
Petition the German government, and your local politicians. Steam can't "just do" something that most countries have a problem with.
Your government has made the decision for it's people to not be able to view it, so you should do what your government tell you and trust them with it - they know what is best for you.
steam just doesnt want to implement such a feature
they are not forcing us to provide this info
and if ud be willingly providing ur info u cant say u never gave permission, what u are saying makes no sense, please leave
credit card can only be gotten by being 18+
it does serve as a valid method for age verification in germany
I mean, companies usually don't say "Hey, should we do this easy thing so as not to lose a lot of money? No, no I think we shouldn't". If it's a worthwhile endeavor then they'll probably figure something out. If not then you are out of luck. Really though, just search around the internet. You'll find something NSFW soon enough.

There are more topics with answers provided. Utilize the search feature next time.
If you're not happy about the situation, petition your government to change the system, else it will stay as-is, and Valve has already stated something is in the works, but that is in Valve Time.
Take your own advice
Probably why whatever they're working on isn't complete as well. People think "has billion dollars" equates to "can roll something out within the hour" with no bearing knowledge on such subjects.
They don't even need that.
They are governed by the Rundfunkvertrag, which means they can make NSFW content available from 22:00 - 5:00.
Uhm, yes it does. Especially credit cards because you need to be 18 to get one here and that will have to be checked before issuing it.
PostIdent is to prove you are who you claim you are.
Sure, we should petition the government to change perfectly reasonable laws instead of asking a freaking billion dollar company to implement one of the various available solutions to comply with them besides simply not letting us buy the stuff.
Oh, and as a matter of fact: you still can buy the titles. There is no age check on the checkout or anywhere besides the store page.
They've built a separate client for china...
China's entire gaming population is a slightly bigger market then the German video game porn market though.....
Yeah...
The effort of building an entire client is slightly bigger than the effort of hooking up an API that is already set and done as well
Yep, but again, since it only effects the sales of porn games in Germany Steam knows exactly how much money they are losing
Nope it does not only affect the sale of porn games. It affects anything that requires the age of 18. The reason why most of these games are unavaliable in Germany is because no one can verify whether or not the buyer on Steam is 18 or above.
Dead Rising for starters. There are several stores (including Gamestop and other global players) around here that have such games but they are either locked away (in a different room for example) or they are kept under the counter until you specifically ask for it and show your ID card.
Same applies for general cut and uncut policy around here. Most of the time it is due to the distribution that cannot verify that children cannot see stuff such as torture scenes. So rather than controlling the entire distribution at a million different vectors you basically controll the import. But retailers can provide their own verification policy. That's why it's absolutely possible to get your hands on a copy World at War (DE) or World at War (ROW) at given stores in germany. One lies in the shelves openly viewable and one lies under the counter and requires you to show your ID.
Plus a verification process of that kind can be equally applied to other countries as well - with a little tweaking to adapt to the local IDs. But yeah it is only about germans and their porn games, amirite?

Hence why as i've pointed out its an incredibly small market
