All of these guys have really good honest advice. Its also very obvious what is good advice and whats not.
The only things I would add is:
Really make sure this is what to want to do. This is a business, not a hobby. If you treat this as a hobby, do understand you will loose all of your money invested.
Keep in mind shooting porn isn't as easy as it looks. Cant tell you how many film students asked my advice about what to do, not do and still did what they wanted to do, loosing all of their money and friends money.
One story that comes to mind:
This film school graduate burned through 60K and didn't have one usable sex scene. He also had no distribution deal set in place prior to shooting his movie.
Every "Pretender" male performer told this kid that they can fuck on film. Every guy said they had 12 inch dicks.
The funny thing he had no clue or concept on how to actually direct sex. He never bothered to research it or learn how to shoot it. He said he was the top film student and that was light years ahead of anyone in porn.
Talent showed up and he would say " Action and lets just go with it". And they went with it, pumped up on blue pills and limp dicks in every scene. Was told that not one guy was able to do it and all of them were hung like hamsters.
My absolute recommendations: Take it serious, stick with POV and get some PA work with some pro shooters before you shoot anything other than POV or you will loose all of your money.
I held a C-Light on set when I started and I'm a decent OK shooter now. lol
Good luck buddy! If you have a dream, go for it!! Just really research it.
