I'm not sure about others' experiences but my experience with link building is that one way links are better. I do mainstream so I'm not sure if this applies to adult as well.
To do one way links you need to solicit links for your Blog 2 (newer blog) in exchange for a one way link from Blog 1. This threeway backlink building will look like this: A > B > C B is the partner site, A and C are your blogs. A > B and B > A link exchanges don't pack as much "juice" (judging from my experience).
If you want to look for people to trade links with, I suggest the following approach:
Find the backlinks of someone that has VERY HIGH SERPS in the category that includes your subniche. Example: if you are microblogging Carmen Hayes, try to find who the big guys are in "Ebony" and similar niches. Use this tool to see where the backlinks are coming from:
http://www.domain-pop.com/ (there's more fine-grained backlink checkers out there as well) Filter out unrelated sites. Dump the main urls into a bulk page rank checker like:
http://www.bulkpagerank.com/ (If there's issues with this site's database/API today, there's other bulk page rank checkers out there, just do a search).
Find the ones with decent page rank. Find their contact form or email. Many don't have contact forms, unfortunately. Create a template and email them your deal. It would probably help if you put them on your page beforehand so they can immediately see their link--mention that you'll take it down if they decline the offer.
You should have backlinks in no time. One fiinal thing: swap posts instead of blogroll links. Depending on your niche and how many links you already have on your roll, this might degrade over time.
Again, this is my experience. Haterz and SEO gurus probably will say otherwise. That's life.
