You are failing to understand the disconnect between someone viewing a web site and their credit card. Most of the battle is getting them to use the card in the first place, cost isn't a major factor at that point. There is also a valid counter argument that reducing pricing devalues the deal, heck there the psychology at work here, in the mind of many surfers something which costs $7 can't be as good as something which costs $29.95.
Using Walmart as an analogy is flawed. Walmart has cheap shit because the cheap shit is made in countries where cheap shit is possible. Porn has a cost to produce and inevitably this is passed on the to the consumer. If you factor in all the costs of running a successful site you need to extract alot more than $7.00 out of every member.
