Maybe I am going to burn a few karma points now, but my advice would be - don't do it at all. If you put a leg into porn industry, it will leave a stigma that you will not be able to get rid of for the rest of your life..it will forever be attached to your resume.

Well said. ;-) You can obviously make money with sex, but you will pay the price after all. No loss, no gain.

I don't know if I would go so far. But I agree that a certain amount of caution should be applied here because of the obvious career risks to a move like this. However, one strategy someone could take would be to conduct their porn experiment simultaneously with a legitimate venture so that there are no experience gaps to account for later - just one example.
