Under your home page, go to 設定変更 (Account edit). You'll find the 7th row that says this:
閲覧制限 年齢制限作品（R-18） [ ]表示する [ ]表示しない
Select 表示する (left option) to enable PORN. XD You'll be given another option, which is グロテスクな作品（R-18G） (Guro/Gore), so pick whichever you want. :D;;
Searching
In the text box above the middle navigation bar, type in keywords to find artworks that have been tagged. Some use a variety or barely any tags on their artworks, so you'll have to search various terms.
For DiasxClaude stuff, they can be found under:
ディアス×クロード
ディクロ
クロード
ディアス
And maybe:
SO2
スターオーシャン
スターオーシャン2
You can combine several keywords (separated by spaces) to narrow your search, but it's not recommended unless it's a really broad term with 50+ pages. XD; But you can put "クロード ディアス" so you know you get them together. XD

When you click on a thumbnail, you get to this page:
