Quick answers - No, irrelevant and unwise
Whether the content is adult-orientated or not, a model release is a basic necessity. Don't even waste time having a shoot unless a model can turn up with a valid photo ID and sign a model release.
For 'adult' content, most countries will require the production of documents to prove a model is of whatever legal age within that country, tho unlikely anyone cares or will challenge this if the model is a 40 year old MILF with big tits - apart from the FBI in the US who obviously have a problem comprehending age
A model release also normally has agreement for content to be used elsewhere and sets out the terms with the model for his/her imaging to be used, eg commerically etc.
Nobody plans on having 'problems with models' and it may not be the model who becomes the problem. Don't bother trying to find your "verbal contract" in the hope of producing this in court
