Those concerned with health issues, convenience, a way to calculate their water intake, etc will spend $2 to buy a bottle of water. That's it folks.

So in the end it's marketing and nothing more. Can you sell snow to an eskimo? If yes then you will be just fine. if not, try something else with your life.
So in the end, it's the product. Anyway, portable porn is already with us, my phone has enough space for 10 scenes. Because you can't put porn into a bottle and call it Evian Porn.

People will pay for a better product, how much do 15 minutes cost with a webcam girl?

What's needed is a product good enough to market to an audience that has many free choices, it's willing to pay for the quality. And here you hit a brick wall. Maybe it will be VR, so we can all wait for that and hope it's not another 3D damp squib. Other than that it has to be a better live interactive experience.

Most camsites, for me, are a turnoff. Some dumb girl vaguely interested or bored tapping on a keyboard 3 feet to the left of the camera, reading text on a page 3 feet right of the camera, dressed in cheap lingerie and in a box decorated in the 1990s. OK, I exaggerate a bit.

There are millions of lonely men, single and married, who would love to have a relationship with a girl online. Not even sex, just relationships. The hard part is converting traffic. Girls have to be sold to a surfer before he lands on the site, the girl has to talk, she can read the text on a screen but it has to next to the camera. She has to able to block people and she has to be in a setting that doesn't demean her of her viewers.

Can this be done in/near a City location with a large studio, or with girls working from home? Something that has to be worked out. What's the technical side? Not my field.

The audience is there, you have to build the product and get it right to make money.
