Quite a shocking statement for someone who...
1) Says you cannot learn from books
2) cannot learn from courses
3) is about to write a book to teach us all.

Yo can't learn how to do much from a book. They just start you out on the right road.
As you don't have the balls to give me a pass into your site people will realise why. You're scared.

I do not have any ambition to teach people here how to do anything and consider our site to be on the fringe of porn...

Could you write one, have you worked in any other avenue of porn other than online?
I have and been a success at it.

You have this theory that there is a subject separate from photography and film making call porn. I would only agree in the same way is making a western is different from making a romantic comedy. You have to approach the new subject with a degree of inteligence.

BS work it out for yourself why.

I do not understand why on one hand you want to tell people how much you know about porn but brag on how little you know on photography or film making. You live in a country with a great photographic and cinema tradition and beautiful woman. Would expect more.

A camera to a pornographer is just a tool. Like a typewriter to an author.
The book would not cover new equipment but should it not cover basic technical / artistic principles ?

F stops, shutters speeds, exposure, ASA .....Key lights / fill lights, color tempreture, Wide angle lenses, long lenses perspective, history of erotic images religous painting to Movies

Cover it in all that needs to be taught. Read the above

A example could be the importance of a Matt Box and how by stoppng random light entering the lens and lowering the contrast and quality of the image the picture can be improved.

Which is why I recommend using a light meter.
Producing porn is about many things. In largely this order.
Knowing and understanding your niche.
Knowing and understanding each model. People are all different learning how to handle unprofessional models of all personalities is very important.
Angles, sequence and theme of a shoot. If you don't know how to construct a porn scene in a way that is will capture the viewers imagination you're going to make a boring scene.
Understanding equipment. As things like lights, mics and light meters have changed very very little in the last 40 years there's little to learn from a book. Cameras are bought once every 3-4 years. Learning how to use the same camera isn't as hard as learning to get the best out of different models or knowing your niche.
Today a lot of people can use a camera, light a set and shoot naked people going through the motions. Hence all the bad porn out there. Few can sell in the top markets of porn.
Cherry when you've had a set published in Mayfair or a video bought by Wicked (or similar publishers) then come and talk about creating porn. You shoot for the Internet, for your own site, so selling it to yourself is a given and if you throw enough traffic at it you'll make a sign up. Maybe even a couple.
You couldn't sell to the top tiers of porn to make your sites content free and profitable before it was on the site. I can and did. Over and over and over again for over 10 years.
