In my opinion I have read alot of the most recent Adult castings from photographers, it seems to me if read carefully it's all for "Private use" and they don't do photography full time. Why can't these photographers use other sites to find what they are really looking for. Some of us use this site to make a living professionally.
Do any other professional photographers agree with me on this?

It's a difficult one. This is mainly an amateur site and probably 95% of adult and indeed glamour is shot by amateurs. You have to accept that as a Pro on here, particularly shooting adult, you are very much a minority.

It is a bit frustrating in respect that often models are naturally (and rightly) suspicious of adult jobs and are waiting for the "catch"
I tend to be a modest man, but then I do have a lot to be modest about.

What a ridiculous attitude by the OP. (I would say the same were I a professional)

If this site was for professional full time photographers there wouldn't be any models as there wouldn't be enough paid jobs for it to be worthwhile for a model to be here.
Also the site isn't here to provide photographers a living. It's here as a portfolio hosting site. The rest is incidental.
A little help is worth a lot of sympathy.

+1 - if so many paying people are looking for adult models and the OP wants them all to leave, so will all the models as there will be virtually no paid work for them - so the OP will have no one to book on here - how bizzarre.

I guess if too many people commission their own adult material, no one will feel the need to buy the OP's produce

Well us pornograhers shoot stuff for thousands of people to PeterH is a naughty person over, whereas the private shooters only shoot for one persons relief. So who's worse, when you think about it?

The core business of this site is blokes wanting to take pictures of girls in a state of undress, and girls willing to fulfill that requirement. As long as both parties are happy with the deal, and are aware of all the pros and cons, what does it matter?

I'm not saying that amateurs can't use this site just that a majority of them use this site for different reasons and not just photography and I think we all know that.

Define what you mean by majority in %age terms - most models dont shoot to adult levels so if you think the majority of photographers are shooting adult all the time, the adult models must be working 24 hours a day.

Another pro with an attitude about amateurs tarring "the majority" with the same brush that should be applied to a few bad eggs only.

You are not by any chance trying to ban the good old semi pro's who are actually trying to sell their pictures and cannot earn enough to do it full time so are possibly undercutting you
