There may be some difference in how tech savvy younger buyers are compared to older buyers, and in how comfortable they may be with certain payment options, but it's relatively easy to make enough options available to appease most everyone.

Besides, trying to pin down accurate age demographics for porn site buyers is pretty tough since that info is only available if the customer volunteers that info.
If you don't know who you're selling to, you're shooting blind.

A 18 year olds taste in porn is going to be very different from a 50 year olds. They might like the same niche, but the packaging and style of the product has to be tempered to fit the different ages.

Yes it's tough to pin down, doesn't mean it shouldn't be done and can't be. Yes they need to volunteer it, we should still be learning.

Damian's skills are totally lost if he doesn't know who he's talking to. Try talking to an 18 year old lie you would a 50 year old and you lose a sale. And the other way around.
