I wait for my kids to go to the bathroom and I asked him, sure as shit, had Pornhub up on his phone showing his friends the porn. It happens more than you think.
What we've noticed is there is no longer the slowdowns that one expects, Mothers Day, Superbowl, summer, etc. I think the reason is that now their porn is mobile, they can take it with them on vacations, they can watch a movie with their spouse without having to pack up the PC.
Do I want to watch porn on a mobile phone? No, but then again, I don't watch porn on my PC.
Let's take another example - iPod Touch users are mainly 13-17 years of age, 50% of them use their iTouch as their PRIMARY form of surfing the net. Do you think that these kids will go back to using their PC when they turn 18? Heck no.
It's all in the changing technological demographic.

Well you're definitely making me think.
If technology improves I could see mobile devices becoming the primary method of general internet access. But at that point one would presume any need for a special design for the mobile market would no longer be there since the technology (and infrastructure) would presumably be able to handle regular sites with ease. But what you state about the young is a good point.... I guess we'll see.
