Adult affiliate marketing

Have been working on a niche site that focuses on affiliate sales to "monthly pay sites". I know there are other ways to monetize, but i chose this way because its kinda fun and long term.

I am building out pages for different models in my niche and then sending them to the affiliate site when they click on them. 100s of models in a searchable filterable database.

My 2 options when they click on the model picture:
1. Sending them to the affiliate hosted model gallery landing page
2. Sending them to a gallery i create locally on my site.

The affiliate landing page definitely looks a lot better in terms of appeal, but if i keep the traffic on my site the users will still be able to keep browsing and searching\filtering until they find that perfect model which will increase their experience. This will in term make the bounce rate a bit lower i think. I think that getting directed to an outside site every time they click on an image would get old. I will just put a banner to that models site on each gallery page.

Anybody have experience or advice with this kind of site?

Send them to the affiliate hosted model gallery landing page but do it so the link opens in a new window, that way your visitor gets the best of both worlds

Yea i have a plugin that makes all external facing links automatically open in a new window. I am just trying to see this from an end user point of view. If i am browsing content i like to stay within 1 site. Also with local galleries there will be more indexed pages for seo purposed. Such a hard decision : )
