I agree with your "Sex Sells" comments aeilkema, but it's not just here anymore, it's media wide, you can't even buy a cd, dvd, yoghurt, soft drink, or bar of chocolate without some random image of a haf nekkid woman or man flashing across your brains advert memory storage.

I guess it is just something we have to accept, and in some regards what potential vendors have to be prepared to do to break into the market place. Also it is IMHO, more than that, you have to look at the primary use of Poser and similar programs. Personally I'm just about saturated with nekkid vikkies posed badly, wearing the latest off the shelf skimpwear.But if that is what people buy Poser for, then creating revealing outfits and outrageous gravity defying, contortionist poses is always going to outsell any other content. Yes there will be the exceptions, usually from established vendors with a history of scene or non sexual content creation. It's all about what floats your boat and if you want to make money as in any context in life, it is about what you are prepared to do to make it happen.

Will the market ever change?, I'd be surprised, the only thing I think will happen is that with the massive improvements in web tutorials, free and easy to obtain modelling software, the market will become saturated with new vendors wanting to take a piece of the pie. I did a rough scan through the forum threads for recent months and there are literally hundreds of posts from different people with modelling/rigging/texturing questions. Will they all become vendors, unlikely, but with enough FREE content and an increase in it, the vendors share is going to reduce significantly, IMHO
