Doing research into the logistics/day to day life of those in the industry. Was hoping to contact those with first hand experience to ask them a few questions about the industry (was thinking over twitter or e-mail).
Was hoping to tap into the collective conscious of this message board to see if there were any suggestions of individuals within the industry, who might be most willing to return an e-mail.
So if anyone had any suggestions for any of the following categories, it would be much appreciated.
Female Porn Star
Male Porn Star
Gay Porn Star (male or female)
Director
Any type of production worker

I interviewed a number of performers, writers, and directors for my dissertation. I simply reached out to them and explained my project, and they all agreed. I have also interviewed a few performers and directors for ADT and for my blog - again, I reached out (or in a couple of instances was put in touch via a contact) and explained the project, and they agreed.
You must have some idea of who you want to interview, if you are researching porn, so simply figure out who you think would benefit the project and get in touch with them.
Whatever your project is, explain it in a clear way - the purpose, the nature of the piece, and where it will be published. They will either say yes or no.

Is this even for real? In my industry, Twitter is a no go for communication with anyone for any research/interviews and e-mail is a last resort reserved exclusively for when one can't do in person or via telephone.

^ Stating the name of it would effectively be putting my real name on here. Once it's published I'll send you a note. :)
I am skeptical of the authenticity/legitimacy of the project because a good study doesn't only seek out those most likely to respond. Plus, if the author wants to interview people for a specific subject, then the author should already know who they want to seek out. The OP's query makes me wonder if they know much about what they claim to be studying.
As far as different forms of communication go, when studying porn it can be hard to find certain people without resorting to twitter or email or facebook etc. Then, once in touch, an in-person or phone conversation is ideal. However, again, email interviews are often preferred by the subject and, in the humanities, acceptable.
