For one, porn's pretty much desaturated over the internet now. It's everywhere, easy to find and for those types of people who would sit at their computer with their dick-in-their-hand viciously waiting to jerk off, porn is readily available from google to find for free and jerk off to.

I'm not saying the theory doesn't still exist, but it just seems a bit off: If you're ready and willing to jerk, you'll do it at the drop of a hat, at the first thing that arouses you. There's enough free porn showing up in search results to accommodate that, and NOT paysites.

I have no numbers and could be talking out of my ass, but I think those that join paysites are looking for more of a dedicated path for delivery -- much like that dealer that's always available to deliver the goods that you want, when you want it. We all know there's thousands of shitty paysites that get tons of joins over hundreds of quality sites that get a ton fewer joins. The only reason is because the shitty sites somehow convinced the user they were the "better" dealer.
I have to disagree with you. The surfer, by the time he reaches the paysite, is quite likely already jerking off - to the free porn he got while surfing. The paysite has to grab his attention by offering something the free porn he was looking at did not have. Higher quality, the prospect of long videos, that really hot girl he saw in the gallery, no more blind links, etc. If his desire is strong enough, he'll reach out for his creditcard. Price, at that point, does not matter a whole lot, as long as it isn't ridiculously high nor so low he expects it to be a scam or low quality.
