As a software engineer, I will tell you that learning HTML and CSS isn't going to help you anywhere near as much as you'd think. I do think proficiency in them is a wonderful tool to have at your disposal but for what you are trying to create, their benefit will be minuscule at best. Let's say you do learn HTML and CSS, okay so now you know how to make your website look nice and pretty which is great, however, that's not what you're talking about. You're talking about adding functionality to your website. 99% of the features you would be looking to implement in a website like this are not written in either HTML or CSS. They are written in languages such as JavaScript, PHP, Python, Ruby, etc.. A person can learn HTML and CSS in a few days. These other languages (the ones that actually matter) will take much longer to become fluent in. I'd still recommend you learning them, I just want to set realistic expectations for you. Aside from that, I wouldn't recommend your first startup attempt being an adult film website, but that's your call. Should you decide to go for it anyways, outsourcing would obviously be faster (and more expensive) but I would still recommend learning to program it yourself. The chances of succeeding at something like this being that you seem new to the idea are slim. However, the knowledge you would gain by attempting it yourself will benefit you for years to come.
