if you want the straight scoop on seasonal variability you need to talk to major e-commerce billing companies that handle predominately jackoff type porn.
(ccbill, etc)
and, to get accurate data this would have to be based on total dollar gross/# of accounts.
and i suspect they won't tell you.
there is a seasonal slowdown for whack type porn.
june is slowest month on average, july almost as bad, and things begin to improve about 10 days after college kids go back to school and get settled into their routine.
don't worry too much about it.

think about it. Who controls the majority of the traffic ? Site owners and affiliates, if they work less there is less sales. Why would this not be noticed on a large processor level. If 80% of webmasters work a little less during the summer you think they going to make the same amount of sales..
