I wouldn't do it. With sites like youporn, xvideos, redtube etc growing by leaps and bounds, the amount of paying customers will go down the drain.

+ don't forget, there are something like a million porn sites out there competing with you, so unless you pick some sick shit involving grannies in wheelchairs or midgets, you'll be hard pressed to gain paying customers.

As far as dealing with someone involved in porn? Its honestly not something you have to think about. Once you get big enough with porn(to pay the bills), you won't want to do a legit startup anyways. A porn site is pretty much a license to print money. Even if you have a mere 1,000 users, at $20 month, you already make 20 grand a month without doing any major work.
