getting models to look directly into the camera (pics)

Jayman, the short answer is that you know your target audience more then we do.

One thing to note is what is on your tour? if its a huge pile of pictures of your girls looking right into the camera, success comes from having those same pictures in your members area. This is basic paysite strategy and I would have hoped you already knew this.

As for my opinion, neither is better. Grandma pointed out that it seems only women do this in hardcore. Solo male pictures probably do well ONLY BECAUSE OF THE EYES not the floppy dick or chiseled abs. Any picture with a gal looking at the camera probably does well if she has a submissive, "I want nothing more then to have your cock stuck in one of my holes" look. This is a huge marketing strategy...the submissive... fill me with cum...fantasy.

As for the posed question...what about a couples sex scene where the man looks direct into the camera? well it would instantly mean to me that she was only his conquest and that he has no intention of being intimate with her... I am wondering if the women in shoots who are not connecting with the man behind the dick in her mouth are secretly avoiding intimacy themselves.

Like others have said, it depends on your target audience. I also think it depends on the context of the shoot.

The way my husband and I tend to shoot our content is in a voyeur style so basically I am going at it with my partner(s) and he captures the action. We do not pay much attention to him. I think this style works well for swinger themed sites.

During webcam shows I interact with the audience so there is definitely eye contact made with them (well, through the power of the Net) and videos we get from shows reflect that. I also similarily make eye cotnact when I do a solo shoot but only for softer sets. If there is action then I tend to focus on what I am feeling.

If I am doing a themed shoot then I don't make a lot of eye contact. The fourth wall is left intact. Though I do enjoy some narration towards the camera if it works for the shoot. I think it can be funny but sexy and intimate at the same time.
