i personally dont like to make my target audience smaller than it needs to be, but thats just my style. i find appealing to the largest and most mainstream audience allows for a higher ceiling. if you believe in your product, thats usually the best way to go about things. however if you haven't noticed much success with sites, sometimes trying to fit into a smaller target market, it will suit you better.

so with saying that, i would just axe out any mention of either and let surfers assume whatever they wish. if they like her, theyll usually see her as how they want to see her. (thats the general advice i'd give without seeing the specific model)

if youre talking about softcore webcam girl websites (no males), then i would for sure leave out professional and up to you whether you want to mention amateur. sometimes balance is needed also, if shes a softcore model who is bordering on too hot and too pretty like Destiny Moody | Welcome , who may seem unapproachable and too hot , you counter balance with something like amateur girl next door

he countered balanced that model with a design that showcases her as a girl next door, chooses the pictures that make her appear so and im sure mentions it in some text.. puts himself back into the middle instead of just caving and targeting the easy market

He could have given her a mainstream design like Jordan Carver does, however if he did, it wouldn't have done as well. JordanCarver is an amazing model and a site based around her has massive potential. Sometimes leaning more towards one side ruins things.
