OK ........ even though you can't play X-Box games on a Playstation or on your PC and you had to buy the console on faith that enough games would be released for the X-Box to get your money's worth and few people bother to mod the device or rip the the content ........ but this is beside the point ................
You take the amount of sales lost from piracy + from mega Tube channels + user uploads to mega Tubes and you convert that into free eyewear for the customer with the purchase of content.
Now the customer has a player that he can purchase more PORN for and each sponsor gives you the option of purchasing PORN at a discount if you already have the player.
I'm not really seeing a downside to this.

Let me shoot it down for you
First off and the most obvious who is going to develop this fantastic device?
Because it sounds like you're proposing something like Google Glass. You do realize that developing hardware costs money, so who is going to pay for that? Sponsors?
The history of DRM as implemented by the music industry already demonstrated that it's a huge risk if not outright financial suicide.
Google could develop Glass because:
1) they can afford it
2) the research and development that they did will have other applications that they'll implement and license
3) it's got applications beyond consumer entertainment
The device you're proposing is simply for watching porn, so that's another difficult point to get investors on-board.
I could go on, but I'm gonna get carpal tunnel syndrome if I do
