I don't see anything you said that it isn't quite right.

Porn is a distributed form of entertainment.

Porn allows you to get your rocks off. You take views, so to speak and do your thing.

Distributed, in this context, means multiple enjoyers can watch porn on each of their entertainment computers and share the videos, usually to a centralized porn server.

PornHub runs a web-based porn server at pornhub.com so viewers can store their porn in a central location on the internet.

So in the analogy porn corresponds to git? Or to source code?

In this analogy it could be that:

the filesystem is git and the porn is source code
the file is git and the data is source code
you don't consider the source code because you can host anything on github
we shouldn't be reading into the analogy this deeply because its a silly analogy meant for absolute beginners
