I do not know a single person with a 4k TV here. I would suggest film in 4k, keep the masters like that and encode to 1080 - porn videos are all about streaming, be it on a tube or paysite or whatever, and most people can't even stream 1080 let alone 4k.

Also 4k is going to have a very short shelf life.
Forget Ultra HD: 8K is closer than you think - Hardware
"But even as the world?s biggest TV makers work out how best to package 4K, Japanese state broadcaster NHK has been talking up its replacement. 8K Super Hi Vision offers an image 16 x more detailed than HD. At 33 megapixels it inflates the envelope of human visual acuity, and then pops it with a loud bang.
Dr Keiichi Kubota, NHK?s Executive DG of Engineering (below), told HCC that progress with 8K has been so rapid that they?ve now decided to leapfrog 4K as a transmission standard altogether: 'It took two decades to take hi-def from the lab to public demos. We?ve made the same progress with Super Hi-Vision in half the time,' he says. ?Our experts have set a target date of 2020 for experimental broadcasts, but there?s the possibility of bringing this forward. We want to begin as soon as possible.? "
