This is basically unanswerable.... it's something you need to decide when you figure out how you want to work it, because it's different for every person.... some people pinch every penny they can in everything they do... even buying some shitty store brand over a brand name in the grocery store just to save .03 cents.... while other people don't give a shit about price and only want the best of what's available....
example: I go to the electronics store.... I buy one component cable for my audio system here that costs $198 bucks... the fucker is gold plated Monster Cable.
The guy next door goes to radio shack, buys $7.99 worth of the cheapest shit he can find and puts a cable together in his kitchen with a soldering iron he got as a promo freebie from JC Whitney when he ordered the $3.99 curb feelers for his run down Gremlin.
I'm no analyst, but I would assume porn is no different than any other consumer good. You got your big spenders and you got your guys on the median with a cardboard sign saying "will scrub your window with a greasy newspaper for a 30 second glance at some hardcore". (there's more.. I'm not done yet....)
The penny-pinchers don't care about things like quality or value for the dollar. They only want rock bottom price. The big spenders are just the opposite. Price is irrelevant. Quality and value is prime. And, of course, I would guess the majority falls somewhere in between. Spending high on certain things, low on others where quality isn't a big factor. (smart shoppers)
When pricing.... you gotta either take the middle of the road to grab the majority and snag as many from the ends as you can, or you cater to one or the other extreme (custom tailored suits versus K-mart) exclusively and work the hell out of that angle.
Things to think about.
