Met-Art is not direct competition for X-Art. There was demand from Met-Art customers to extend their product to hardcore. Brigham and Colette filled that demand.
We know most porn customers are multi-purchasers of porn products. A person may have membership to both x-art and met-art at the same time, or at different times in their purchasing cycle. That said, the key is retention. You have a network because you are striving for retention, which is good.
Let's use our site as an example. Joymii.com and X-Art have been main competitors for a long time, but X-Art is bigger. When we tried to sell above their price point, sales declined. Since porn customers are multi-purchasers, many do have awareness of pricing. Like I said, it is harder to sell above the price leader, but not impossible, or until you become the price leader.
This data is what I saw, managing hundreds of affiliate programs during my stint as a tube webmaster.
Mark, have you looked at other networks as your main competitor? For Example, WTFbucks?

True, I do run a network of various sites but I meant those websites specifically (ErosExotica, Felucia Blow, Touch The Body) were Met-Art's and X-Art's "competition". They are extremely unique so there's really no comparison but close enough. LOL
WTFBucks - along with Gammae's network and a few others - are also my "competition" but they too have differant content and setups. But generally-speaking I ignore what my "competitiors" are doing anyway because chances are their traffic, affiliates and overall promotion are very differant from mine.
I've also noticed that what works for other affiliate programs and sites does not always work for me so I try to balance out what I see other sites doing with my own experiences. But end of the day what you say si right: you tried raising prices and sales went down. Not rocket science there, right? LOL
Best of luck, Joymii is quality stuff!!
