I would be impressed if anyone can cut their price in half and triple their sales, which is about what they would need to do.
There are other factors that are not being taken into account though

For example -

1) Increase in rebills - I know of some paysites that charge $9.99 per month & they rebill forever
2) Decrease in chargebacks - $9.99 or less doesn't stick out on the cc statement the same way as $29.99

I'm not saying it works for everyone, I'm not saying it won't result in less income but the days of charging $29.99 are long gone

PR_Dave said it best

IMO if you're charging more than Netflix for a porn membership your customer isn't getting value for money.
