It seems that surfers want to have non-recurring billing so why not offer them a $250 membership (as a pricing example) to get access to a sites member area for life?

No worries about having to rebill the member, no worries about affiliates losing out (most would go for a 50% cut of $250) and no worries about surfers cancelling then rejoining.

Do you think this is a business model that could work well on porn site memberships if enough sponsors offered it as an option or total business model for their sites?

It might possibly work for a few well known sites that have a very long history of pumping out quality content on a regular basis. For newer sites or those that are relatively unknown, I'm not so sure.

To use your example of $250, thats an awful lot of money to ask someone to pay for a porn subscription. I don't think many people who sign up for a recurring subscription really *think* they will stay for more than a month or two and certainly not 10+ months to justify the $250 expense.

A somewhat lower price would obviously be more attractive to the subscriber but could hurt the site over the long term.
