The Adult industry is like the Medical Industry or the Agriculture/Food Industry, in which I mean it's one of the few industries that survives on the primal instinct of man.

Just like humans will never stop getting sick, dying, or having babies, and human will never stop getting hungry or needing food. A human will never stop enjoying sex, or needing to release.

So as long as their are humans, there will be porn.

The question you need to ask yourself is not what will I do when it's gone, it's how can I monetize on this ever evolving industry. You need to be creative, cutting edge, and provide a product that others simply can't.

Who do you think has carried the evolution of the internet for so long? With the exception of video sharing, almost every break though technology was first used in the adult industry, with mainstream catching up along the way.

Sure the paysite model will fade out, but the idea of paying for porn wont. Money drives this planet.

Everyone is complaining about tube sites putting you out of business, but I predict the paysite model as we know it now will fade out, but in comming time you'll see a new paysite model take it's place. I wouldn't be surprised if the "affiliates" become the surfers.

If user generated content is the new rage, sponsors will start paying users for their amateur and submitted content. Websites like sextapecash will prevail as content providers.

Since tube sites are free, they rely heavily on advertising to make income. Who advertises on tube sites? Sponsors.

Without sponsors or advertisers, there are no tubes. It's all just a vicious cycle that will terminate anyone not ready to handle it.
