Something similar and as easy, doesn't exist for porn.
I think the trust issue is secondary.

The biggest problem is traffic.

There are many many ways to make membership to a site more affordable. The cost of traffic makes them mostly impossible. Maybe a Tube site can do it with their traffic and an upsell to buy a particular video or videos in full HD. so as people see something they like, they can drop it into a basket for 50 cents. 4 videos = $2

Do iTunes have a big affiliate program? Mind you mainstream doesn't pay 50% and does it give out lots of free music to promote selling music?
