For still photography this is completely incorrect advice. Do NOT NOT NOT buy tungsten light and expect that your photos will be of acceptable quality. Buy STROBES ONLY.
I use Alien Bee 800's for my lighting, and I have two of them. They are a good light to start out with, and they're relatively inexpensive. I got the pair for about $800, and that included the stands, umbrellas, cases and sync cords. If I were you, I'd buy three of them.
You can buy MUCH more expensive lighting such as Profoto and such, but you'll be spending money that's not necessary to spend at this point. I work with Profoto kits at a studio here but it's overkill for porn most definitely.
As far as the tungsten comment, buy three 500 watt lights for VIDEO use and you will be fine. Just make sure you have a 3 chip camera such as a Sony VX2100, but a 950 will get you by.
For camera body's, go with a Canon 20D and you'll be very very happy. Here's a link with a good price.
