As a rule, when using strobes, the shutter speed is not nearly as important as the aperture.
The flash lasts about 1/500 of a sec, and the critical factor is setting the lens opening to allow the correct amount of light in, for proper exposure of the flash lit subject.
You have to keep the shutter below the flash sync speed of your camera, of course.
Where the shutter speed is important, is if you are trying to capture a background that is not being lit by the strobe, or by separate lighting with a different luminance. Not likely if you are doing porn.
And it is always better to underexpose. You can correct that. Too much light, and you blow away information and you can't recover it.
Be careful about any light that is bouncing off coloured walls or ceilings. You can pick up unwanted colour that way.
