That's a not a bad analogy with the fries. People will factor in the free stuff when it comes to buying things. So when they walk accross the street to buy a burger and pop for $3, they probably think to themselves that they are getting a good deal because in total they are getting a burger, pop, and fries for $3. If there was no free porn, the surfers could end up forking over $200/month just to see the porn they are interested in by joining 6 or 7 paysites that would cover this range. A lot of people can't afford that much money a month just for porn. In fact, they probably won't join anything because in order to get a good degree of satisfaction, they would have to pay $200 - so basically it's $200 or nothing. But if they can get a lot of their favorite stuff for free, they might not mind forking over $30/month for something they really enjoy as they know they can find a bunch of other stuff they enjoy for free so they will always be satisfied.
Also, a lot of people don't know what the like. If there was no free stuff, they wouldn't be able to sample anything. A gallery or a small free site gives them a little more extensive sample than a tour does. And sometimes, it may take quite a few sample galleries or sites for someone to really get to like a certain niche. I think the more available free porn is, the better it is for paysites so long as the free porn is given out in moderation.
