Perhaps take a deep breath and realise that I have made none of those arguments at all, and your attempt to glue this issue with others which have absolutely different causes and issues with them (and so many different numbers in them, btw), is just something that... sigh.
We *could* go there, but let's not (do boys like superheros while girls like romance movies?). The fact that a superhero movie costs 300 million + dollars to make is not just a factoid here, it's the number one reason why most of the time, the hero is a male. The superheromoviemaking industry is risk aversed, which is something that simply *does not exist* in a commoditised porn market that has millions of different sources. Both markets couldn't be more different.
And, breathe again to let the following paragraph sink in, at least, think about what I'm about to say.
Imagine a truly equal society, wherein each gender would feel great in it, their desires well represented in the wider society, media, economy. Where their sexual desires would be free from guilt, a healthy attitude to sex would be the rule, not the exception. Now imagine that there's not any physical law that would prevent that in this society, men would have slightly different fetiches and fantasies, slightly different desires on what to consume in media, in porn, etc. than women would. In such a society, things would *look* different. Perhaps, just perhaps, visual romanceless porn would be a market mostly for men, perhaps a less visual intense, more romance-ish porn would be the market dominated by women consumers. Perhaps, just perhaps, men would love to watch superhero movies more than women do. And on and on and on.
So given that amazing society described above, and given how disparate those numbers would be, would you look at that and say "My, that's an atrocious society, these people have different tastes and products are catered to different genders in different ways! We can't have that, that's totally SEXIST!", or would you simply state, "yeah, this is what I expected in a non-androgynous society".

EDIT : Luis, you do realise that despite your claims that men and women approach sex differently around 30% of visitors to the mainstream free porn sites are women, right?
Keep repeating the same mistake you have been doing for the past 10, 20 comments by now. I'm really tired of beating that **** out, Karajorma. ****ing hell. I'm NOT going to repeat myself, so kindly read what I've already written on this angle? FWIW, let's keep in mind that if 30% of visitors are women, that means
70% are men. OK? Those numbers. Are. Different.
I'll admit that I didn't qualify my statement enough and I committed your error of sounding like I was trying to claim something was absolutely the cause rather than part of a very complex cause.
Why make these passive aggressive comments? Did it add anything here? And where, oh where, did I state that the simple fact that men are more visually aroused than women meant that other factors were simply non-existent? I'm not the one claiming both sexes must conform to a single criteria and are more or less equal in all respects and if the market doesn't represent this, then it's wrong in some way or other, without any kind of reasonable justification for that at all.
