There's a couple theories about this, of course...;)
Mine are threefold, in the best mystical tradition.
1) Society sucks where women and sex are concerned; women have been told that they shouldn't, or don't, like the pr0n, so they don't buy it, so there's not much market for it, so they don't buy it *more*...
2) Female sexual pleasure is less, um, visual/visceral than the male equivalent. Sure, women can show arousal, but it's way harder to tell if said arousal is genuine, and there's not the immediate visual of "Oh, that's *clearly* having an effect".
3) Somewhat relatedly, men in porn are from the narrow pool of guys who can get it up on camera, last for a long time, *and* get off in front of several people and the Viewers At Home. I don't know if this skill actually has a negative correlation with attractiveness, or if it just means that porn casting directors take what they can get. All I know is that the majority of men in porn are *fugly*.
The existence of cute men in gay porn may negate this, though. So might the fact that most mainstream porn women aren't what I would consider attractive, either, because Paris Hilton with bigger tits and three-inch-long fingernails doesn't do it for me (or, IMO, anyone sane)...so.
