Alternatively, from the 'real world' or print market, they're staring at a tiny picture of titties, and you're offering them the chance to see the titties bigger and bouncing on their screen for just $5. Easy sell.

That's a damn good point, and has a lot to do with why you don't see more programs that publicly support PSMS - it just does not make sense to porn buyers. They want to put their credit card number in... it's in their blood. And once they're on their phone they do not want to have to double opt in - especially not if they have to exit the browser and send another text message.
Besides, working with the carriers is a *huge* pain and let's face it... most people in adult are way too independent to deal with it. I do not miss the days of a new batch of rules and regulations every two weeks, a new type of disconnect file three days, another QPass billing failure every six months... bleh.
