The other aspect is that this business attracts a lot of dudes who simply want to see naked chicks.

Perhaps that's too general of an analogy, because I've seen the same crappy product across the entire spectrum of photography. Everyone that owns a camera calls themselves a 'photographer'.
You hit the nail on the head. Also look at the "Hot Chick" threads. Most of these girls would find it hard to get a magazine shoot, but 100s here are telling us how hot she is.

Oh I forgot this is not the magazine business, this is the Internet.

Good magazine set returns $3,000, a whole days solo girl custom work returns $1,500. A site signing up 500 a day is mega site. A magazine selling 15,000 copies a month is small.

Your site captures exactly what I would imagine the niche needs, photography seems more than adequate.
