free porn kills sales . (period)
there is enough variety and with a google savy surfer, enough content to get just about anyone off.
ask yourself, would you pay for porn (knowing you can get it for free)?

Free porn kill sales if it's not marketed properly. Free porn is a tool, nothing more. And like everything else, tools can be abused.
Your analogy about people not buying porn because you can get it for free, is flawed. Reason being, everyone is different. A few free pics or movies that can be satisfactory to you, might not be satisfactory to the next guy. If we we're all satisfied by the amount of free porn out there, who are all these mysterious buyers? The question you should ask is weather the most basic human psychological element of 'wanting more' plays a viable part in porn. In my opinion, it certainly does.
Generally speaking, human nature itself will lead the surfer to wanting more. For instance...you have some surfers who can get off a 10-30 sec video clip. But give it some time and that 30 sec video clip won't be enough to satisfy after a while. He'll fight the urge to want more, but eventually he'll break down and buy a membership looking for a better fix/thrill. Some may take longer then others. I'm not at all saying this is how it is, but just a general opinion.
