I seriously doubt this is true. Porn makes up like 20-30% of traffic and searches on the internet.

Even if only 10% of users are paying it would still be a very high number of transactions.

10% of users is unlikely high. Porn has one of the lowest conversion in the online world. It's less than 0,05%. I knew a guy once who ran one of the infamous thumbnails sites and he was struggling keeping afloat although the traffic his site was getting was big.

10% sounds impossibly high to be honest. I would expect something around 0.1%, but I cannot easily find data :(
