It IS kind of a hassle, dealing with category recip links. Cat recips, as they are called, have this very weird history.
And sorry to tell you, but dynamic sites with xhtml might get looked on with suspicion by some of the better 'straight' linklist owners - if you are well known and trustworthy you can do it, but a new submitter coming in with dynamic sites might be rejected as a possible cheater.
And yes, the relationship is very one-sided - but thats life, one-sided relationships are common everywhere you look. And ESPECIALLY common in the adult traffic biz.
I feel much the same way about places like altagay - gee thanks, you want me to give you 60 pics for you to give your surfer all the jerk-off content he needs. On the other hand, places like altagay accept blind links and more agressive ads.
So I think it boils down to what you've become accustomed too.
How much traffic can you expect to get from a single listing? Not that much. The actual number varies with subniche, but gay traffic is about 20% of straight traffic. It's been a while since I measured actual traffic numbers - however, I'd say that the number is still slowly declining overall, and will probably decline more.
How long does it last? Well, the initial burst doesn't last long, about 2 weeks per listing, but then you get dribbles of traffic for quite a while.
