My question here is why hasn't anybody come up with a solution?

It is a known problem that the current large payment processors do not want to work with adult themed companies.

It is also known that regardless of that, there will always be adult themed companies and they will handle a lot of money.

It is also known that processing payments for reliable companies that handle adult themes is a very profitable venture.

So, why is it that there are no payment processors that will work with these companies?

I thought we lived in a capitalistic society where the market would decide whether or not something was valuable.

There are payment processors that will work with these companies, they just charge more because of frequent chargebacks and legal risks. If a porn company found a way to solve these issues, they might not have such troubles, but that's obviously not really feasible

I wonder how long after the purchase most of those porn related chargebacks happen. I suspect that, for video content, it wouldn't take more than a couple of hours, as the post-orgasmic regret kicks in hard.

Sometimes their spouse sees the bill, and they deny that they made the order so hard that they actually go through with making a chargeback for a purchase they know they made

Also, teens get ahold of their parent's credit card, and "totally swear" that they never purchased anything with it.
