higher popularity of pornography with one female and multiple males compared to one male and multiple females

Supply-driven. Male actors are much cheaper.

I would be surprised if a greater number of male actors does not also result in a salary increase for the actress. This does not contradict your point, but it may undermine it; I'm hardly familiar with pay structures. More significantly, what would you need to observe to conclude it was demand-driven?
