Too Much Porn?

lupestripeDoes there come a time when the market in pornography becomes over-saturated?
Flicking through various sites last night, I noticed that most porn on offer is actually rather samey. There's a vast swathe of mediocre 'just fucking' porn out there which is almost identikit. Only the participants are different - even the settings are practically the same. Doesn't this get boring after a while? I admit that my view might be tainted by the fact that I am not attracted to people (much preferring situations) but surely watching practically the same thing over and over becomes a little dull? Perhaps I am looking into it too deeply.
Even in the fetish market, there are only so many things you can really do and I am starting to run out of new things to view. I can now understand why people start looking at increasingly extreme stuff to satiate a hunger that was borne out of the "gateway drug" that is soft-core porn. I was just wondering, with pornography's prevalence on the Internet, has everything that can be done been done and thus is everything now just repetition?* And, to that end, is most of the stuff out there repetitive simply because it HAS all be done before?
*I accept you could perhaps make the same case for other aspects of the arts including music, film and literature.
